Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Brainstorming Zone in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 2 months ago
Oooooh, I like it!
There is one thing that could use tweaking though. Both Kara and Matthias seem a little scattered and unfocused as to their emotional state. Now they’re supposed to be; I know. They’re both confused. But the reader shouldn’t be. It’s not that both of them shouldn’t be struggling with several different emotions at once, but that…[Read more]

@that_writer_Girl_99 Have fun! And yes, I am impressed anyway. I can hardly sing, though I’m trying to learn.
@winter-rose *raises hands* I plead not guilty!
I’d love to stay longer, but I’ve to eat and get ready for guitar lessons. -

@That_Writer_Girl_99 don’t think so. Heading over there now.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 *appears in a poof of elvish stardust**adjusts Jedi robes* You wanted to talk about chapter seven?

@that_writer_girl_99 Nice! Do you know what you’re singing?
@winter-rose Sorry. This time it was an accident though. I sneezed. -

@hope Another thing I would be careful to watch out for with the Blackened Rose, Crown, Seal ones is that they sound pretty dark. I know they probably aren’t, but at a first glance, I would be extremely wary to read them, I might not in the first place. However, if you included the themes of light instead, then I think I would be more inclined (as…[Read more]

Seconding what everyone else said. There was some great advice in this thread. Also a number of things I was guilty of, like that proper noun thing. =P Thanks for doing this!

@kate-flournoy @sierra-r @aratrea @that_writer_girl_99 @winter-rose
Hi guys,
I have a rather enormous announcement/request to make.
For a while now, I’ve been wanting to create my own e-course. I’ve had an idea for it too. I wanted to cover the “show don’t tell” rule. Now, to many people, that would seem like a crazy idea for a course, since…[Read more]

@jane-maree Still, do you have a favorite?

Hope Ann replied to the topic That's it. I need help. in the forum Fantasy 9 years, 2 months ago
@kate-flournoy I thought you’d like those ones. They’d help me in cover ideas too.
@dragon-snapper Hmmm, yes. But this title won’t be on the same page as the other titles and the rose is a pretty important element. There might be a little repetition, but I don’t think it’s enough to be jarring.
Thanks for all your help, everyone! I’ll post a few…[Read more]

@hope One more thing, that is, unless you tag me for more help. I would avoid doing the Blackened Rose, Crown, Seal one because some of your books are already have a rose on them, right? I don’t think we need the repetition in symbolism. Just sayin’.

@bethanysinkyroses Will do. 😀 And yes, I have a blog. It is: https://authorhopeann.com/

Christine Eaton replied to the topic That's it. I need help. in the forum Fantasy 9 years, 2 months ago
@hope There are a lot of great titles in here, I really like the last set, but the second to last I feel has more of a fairy tale feel to it with words like Blackened Rose, Crown, Seal. I think those will nicely fit your stories 😀

@jess Well, I finished editing my ‘book’. (Not a novel–a collection of poetry) 😀 Good luck!

@Jess Yes, that is my favorite set too.

@that_writer_Girl_99 I’m lonely now, if you’re out there in the world somewhere. I’m editing. 😀 - Load More
Really, really want to do this… I do need to be careful about how much time I realistically have, though. :/ What’s your planned schedule for this and when you’d need feedback by?
Ah, I should have mentioned that. My pace with this is going to be a little bit slow. I’ll try to write about a lesson a week. I only have my outline so far and a knowledge of the points I want to cover for each lesson. So this would be a gradual thing. I think honestly it might take me six months to get nailed down, though I might get ambitious…[Read more]
Got ya. I could give you feedback along the lines of #1 and #2 up through September 1st. After that, I may be able to give some sporadic feedback, but that will be completely dictated by my school schedule.
Okay, thanks. 😀 We’ll run with it.
Yes, yes, and yes again. When do I start?
I’m in. Absolutely. When do I start?
Haha. 😀 Great! Well, right now, if you want. This isn’t letting me post my original message, so I’ll try one piece at a time.
And here’s access to the course file. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzI8MlrraNgHekR6TWtEa2RTYW8?usp=sharing

I’ll try to do some lesson outlines this week. Maybe even today.
@kate-flournoy
WOW. You’ve got a lot of categories. 😛 I love it.
Me too! This is awesome.
Ah, time is a tricky thing. Well, I’ll leave it up to you. Does it make sense for you to do this if you’ll only be able to cover the first (and admittedly simplest) part? If so, I’d be glad to have you. If you’re not so sure though, you could potentially be a beta viewer when this part’s done. Or you just ignore this course and have a good life. 😛
@kate-flournoy @that_writer_girl_99 @aratrea Part 1 has outlines for all the lessons if you’d like to go check them out. 🙂 I’m hoping to write out lesson one today.
@sierra-r Have you seen this yet?
Awesome! I’ll look them over today, probably later tonight. @daeus
@Daeus which one is part one…
Part 1 – emotion telling. Right at the top of my outline. There are four lessons listed under it.
Aha, thanks. Found it. 😉
Which lessons make up Part 1? Is there a doc somewhere that categorizes/lists all these lessons?
Here’s the outline https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W87kcWtV1azNc5zA34D9jQ3yNl-wbnGDgYOnxAhrs5k/edit
In parentheses at the top it says (part 1 – emotion telling) The four lessons under that are the ones that have outlines.
