@That_Writer_Girl_99 ooooh, I love it! Very nice. It could almost be a poem if you rearranged it. 😀

One thing— plot hole alert. If the Warden created the gene, how old is he for there to be really, really old people in the prison? Or were they not inheritors of the gene, but the first experiments?

@Emily-D wow… what an enormous question. 😛

Lemme take a stab at answering it coherently. First step, I would say, is figuring out the contradictions of your character.
For instance, everyone has something that they want. For the sake of conversation, let’s say I want pie. But then, everyone also has something that they need— and most of…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy @hope

Okay, thank you. 🙂 I’d like others to come and see if they’re interested, so I can specify them in the email first, though. I don’t want to be selecting a random KeePer and asking the moderator to send them a link to my Google Docs document. 😛 I could have selected Emma, and she’s busy! XD

@aratrea Thanks! 😀 All the characters mentioned are actually main protagonists too, I’m only concentrating on this one because she’s my character in a co-writing project 🙂

Basically, character A (the main one I’m talking about) has been trained all her life and is prepared, mostly, for a long quest and battle. Compared to characters B and C,…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Lol. Loved the addition of Michael as the overlord and the reference to Daniel in that section. xD

@jess-penrose Awesome. Nice work!

@perfectfifths That looks really good! I really like how you’re giving your characters multiple competing Experiments in Living to make them complex characters (and good work with those side characters! I won’t be addressing them in the lessons till the fourth module, but you have a great start there!). Could you explain #5 some more, though? I’m…[Read more]

@jess-penrose I would personally do an arc for the series like the one you outlined above (just not do a more detailed one like you’ll do in your homework for lessons 6-8. However, each writer has their own methods. Some writers work better with doing a detailed outline all-at-once and some writers work better not outlining at all, so it really…[Read more]

@jess-penrose Yep–especially when you are taking time to do all the discussion questions and homework assignments, I don’t think it’s a problem to move through it quickly. You may need a bit more brushing-up on some topics later on to get it into long-term memory, but that’s all.

@jess-penrose @jane-maree Wait–are you two related to each other? I didn’t realize that until now!

Is there anything specific about your grandmother that you would say makes you look up to her?

Would you rather write your novel backwards, or only be able to use words under six letters?
Backwards, because sometimes it helps to start at the end 😉 Or did you mean the words backwards??? :O

Would you rather have to eat every page of everything you write, or have to do a push-up for every word you write?
Push-up, because exercise 😉

Would…[Read more]

Glad to hear that you found this lesson helpful! That’s definitely a relatable struggle with the challenges of writing a character who is quite different from yourself. My best recommendation would be to study how extroverts you know act in real life, and possibly also study how extroverts in books you read act, and use that to…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Yay, yay, yay, yay!!! 😀 I loved it! So many funny lines that made me chuckle. 😉 “For once he’d like to see a villain do a big nod.” XDXDXD I love it, love it, love it! But now to the all-important question:

Will there be more??? 😀 😀

@winter-rost A name? That…is something I really need to work on. 😉

I had a lot of distractions, but I managed to edit 394 words, so, hey! Better than nothing.

(@winter-rose I’m editing my time travel story, and I don’t listen to music while a write unfortunately.)

@dragon-snapper @winter-rose @that_writer_girl_99 I’m here.

@Anne-of-Lothlorien Yep. XD They’re like ‘everyone do something’ and I’m like… do what?

This is just too funny. All the cliches and the soy ice cream and dragons and raspberries… XD If anyone asks what Kingdom Pen is, we should just send them to this story.

@Leumeister Yep, just email the KP email. Sarah is out of the country, so I’m currently taking care of emails and can forward emails on to members who need them. 😀
