Hi! I’m Dragon Snapper! Nice to meet you! *shakes your hand very hard*
Ooh, I wrote some fantasy. And Tolkien is only ever awesome. (Note to Self: read poem)
You’ve been writing since you were 9! Woah…I only started about three years ago. Did you ever have writer’s block in that time?
Thanks for joining and I look forward…[Read more] -
Josiah DeGraaf replied to the topic Homework for Videos 6-8: Developing Character Arcs in the forum Writing Assignments 9 years, 7 months ago
@audrey-caylin Good question; sounds like I didn’t make it clear enough. The idea is to share something like a plot outline where you briefly sketch out each of the major five character arc scenes with a couple sentences and explain how you plan on sketching out the big-picture view of your character arc.

Josiah DeGraaf replied to the topic Homework for Video 4: Experiment in Living in the forum Writing Assignments 9 years, 7 months ago
@ethryndal Basically what Daeus said. The Experiments in Living should be looking pretty similar to the answers you came up with before; the only difference is that this time they should be a bit more “embodied” so-to-speak in a lifestyle, and a bit less abstract. 🙂

Snapper replied to the topic Writers' Corner #3 in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 7 months ago
@daeus I’m gonna head out now. I discovered the focusing questions and five answers for all 5 (I narrowed down a few 😛 ) as well as supported some of them with Bible verses. A lot of bible verses. Thanks!

Snapper replied to the topic Writers' Corner #3 in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 7 months ago
@daeus Of course. I was just testing you.

@daeus I’m late, but I’m here now.

@daeus Either way, I like Obi-wan the best. *flies away on mop*

Snapper replied to the topic Size of a Writer's Vocabulary in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 7 months ago
I took it yet again, after I memorized all the words I missed and now I must be smarter or something, because I got estimated 39,100. 😛

@sierra-r I took a look at that list. I was surprised to find that tricorn was on it.
Woah! Even more interestingly, there’s that annoying red squiggly line beneath it that says it’s misspelled. -

@hannah-krynicki
No problem! I hope your novel is going well. 🙂 Let me know if you have any other questions. 😀 British culture is simply fascinating (especially the accents; I LOVE British accents!). -
Snapper replied to the topic Hear Ye, Hear Ye!! *excited peasants step forth* 😛 in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 7 months ago
@ethryndal Ooh, that’s a good one. Here are a few that I missed on the vocab test. (trust me, there are more 😛 )
Parsimonious: Excessively cheap with money; stingy
Svelte: Slender and graceful
Embonpoint: Plump
Funambulist: Tightrope walker

Josiah DeGraaf replied to the topic ARCHIVED – Discussion for Video Six: Positive Character Arc in the forum Discussion Questions 9 years, 7 months ago
@audrey-caylin Ha; that makes sense. There is a fair bit of overlap between these two questions. And that’s awesome. The more you as an author see your characters as real people and write like that, the more your readers will see them as real people as well. Glad to know I’m making people excited about homework. 😉

Josiah DeGraaf replied to the topic Discussion for Video Three: Discovering & Deepening Theme in the forum Discussion Questions 9 years, 7 months ago
@ethryndal That looks great! Haven’t read the book myself, but you seem to have analyzed its theme well.
@dragon-snapper Cool; I may have to read that myself sometime. The focusing question may be stronger as just “through means of revenge or forgiveness,” but not having read the short story itself, I couldn’t say for sure.
Ha; I’m sure you are…[Read more]

@daeus Okay, so hypothetically, you’re right. Does that make me a Sith?

I got 24,400… sorta surprised. I thought I’d do better than that, but, I did get a higher score than @daeus, soooooo I guess I’ll be content with that. 😉 (…assuming you actually did get 21,400, which, frankly, I’m not buying it)

Snapper replied to the topic Character Arc-What's That? in the forum Characters 9 years, 7 months ago
@daeus @emma-flournoy That is NOT how it went. And that is an image that I will never lose, Daeus. Obi-Wan on a broomstick. Hilarious, but not true. 😛
(Daeus, thanks for making me laugh really really hard. That was truly hilarious) -
