@Aratrea that’s true. I guess that just goes to show how important perspective is.

@leumeister Now that you’ve added more to the spaceship, it seems to me that the characters might look a little squished down there at the bottom. My suggestion would be to move them up to the center side by side and make them in the background with fading. Working on their expressions could add that element of question if you do it right.

@winter-rose Okay, I really really have it this time. Guardians of the Galaxy: Jack Frost says it to the tooth fairy.

@winter-rose Ice Age: Age of the Dinosaurs. Sid says it when the dinosaur takes him along with her other eggs.

Actually, disregard that. Photography homework calls. 🙂

@aratrea I like being able to include everything that works together as a puzzle (like what Kate said in the first lesson 😛 ) and work together like gears in a clock. The Theme seems to tie all the lose ends I had before.

@Winter-Rose I’ll be here for an unknown amount of time.

Russian and Australian. I have no idea. Is it something Disney?

@winter-rose For some reason the first thing that came to my head was Star Trek, then I realized that wasn’t animated. 😛
The Rescuers Down Under?

@Daeus I love that one. My vote goes for that.

@Daeus I agree. Great points.

@kate-flournoy That’s a good distinction. As far as the practical application between personal and universal themes, I don’t think there’s any significant difference. One thought I have is that it is generally best to use universal and personal themes in combination. For instance cowardice with the meaning of life, responsibility with justice,…[Read more]

Ok, Here’s the same thing only with the name in gold. Any votes between the gold and silver name? @kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy @dragon-snapper @rolena-hatfield @sarha-h

Les Miserables. 😀

Theme: justice and mercy.
Focusing question: which one triumphs?
Message: it’s justice that makes mercy necessary.

Hmm… those are slightly different than the format of the others you shared… and now my brain is tickling… I wonder…
Oh yes. This was that idea— I’ve thought about this some already. 😛 It seems to me…[Read more]

@ethryndal That, my friend, is the worst. *falls to the floor*

@dragon-snapper Oh boy! Happy six months! I’m trying to find the courage to start the Silmarillion at the moment.

You know what’s the worst thing ever? When someone who doesn’t get it says something to the effect of, “Oh, just get over it and write something.” *rips out hair* They know nothing.

@ethryndal @s-g-dewey Writer’s block, how some people don’t have it remains a mystery to me. Maybe they aren’t like me, a procrastinator, and actually take time to plan out every single scene that is bound to happen. 😛

I pronounce it as Thay-o-den as well, but I saw LOTR before I read it, so that really was never a problem for me. And now I’m…[Read more]

@ethryndal @winter-rose Gah! I feel like I’ve heard it too, but I can’t quite place it. … Is there something along the lines of a hint you could give us? 😉

@Winter-Rose Arg…sounds so familiar…

@dragon-snapper @s-g-dewey Though some of us more than others may be prone to chuckle evilly when they hear a fellow has it and they’re not the only one… 😛 Not that I would ever do that… BUT in all seriousness, writer’s block is the worst curse of the writing kind, and I would not wish it upon any one. Really. 😉

I pronounce it Thay-o-den. I…[Read more]
