@f5a8c3e92 Aye, that I did, though I’m quite certain it’s not the Slade you are familiar with. Which Slade do you know? Slade Wilson from Arrow is the only other character I know by that name.

Josiah DeGraaf replied to the topic Discussion for Video Seventeen: Handling Multiple Themes in the forum Discussion Questions 9 years, 5 months ago
@jenali Good. I would generally agree with you that writers who struggle with theme don’t often have more than one theme. I like the way that your two examples parallel each other (one being the third method done well; one the third method done poorly). Contrasting similar situations of stories that work and stories that don’t work can be a great…[Read more]

Josiah DeGraaf replied to the topic ARCHIVED – Homework for Video 10: Theme & Scene Structure in the forum Writing Assignments 9 years, 5 months ago
@ethryndal Liriel’s guilt in the reaction to scene #1 is unclear to me. If she didn’t care about his life in battle, why after battle does she begin to care? Are there any events that happen between those that send her on that path? Or is it the realization that he could be dead that makes her re-think her decision?
Scene #2 looks good to me.…[Read more]

@ethrynal Haha, got it. As long as you’re clear on what those events are, that should be good. 🙂

@kate-flournoy I had a writing break through thanks to your lovely advice!!! (which you probably don’t remember giving 😉 ) Lemme explain. A while ago I posted a scene from the beginning of my book and your critique was that the story didn’t flow quite right when I wrote like this… he said something, then did something, then did something then…[Read more]

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that the Reader Behavior Survey has now been taken by 226 people. It’s moving along! I’m just going to let it run for a week or two more and then I’ll do the analysis.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Excerpt from novel. Please critique! in the forum Novel Critique Requests 9 years, 5 months ago
@f5a8c3e92 I like this.
*switches into professional mode* Your prose is stronger than a lot I’ve seen, and you show a lot of promise with dialogue and characterization. Your sense of flow and pacing does seem to be a bit off— the prologue was too short and vague, for one. It didn’t connect me to the story, which is what a prologue is for. I…[Read more] -

@Christi-Eaton *squeals* Still love it!
… can I post mine again here for comparison? It’ll make it look awful but I want to see the similarities. Thanks. 😀

The time has come, my friends, to begin a new writer’s corner.
To give it proper ritual, I suggest we do some writing. @jess @dragon-snapper @that_writer_girl_99 @winter-rose

Christine Eaton replied to the topic Character Art Exchange in the forum Art 9 years, 5 months ago

Alrighty, so a couple pages back on this thread @kate-flournoy drew a picture of my character Cress. Now, I have finally gotten around to drawing her myself. It’s quite amazing how Kate’s picture actually lined up quite well. 😀 Cress was quite fun to draw and I’m hoping to draw a picture of another character named Slade pretty soon. 😉

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Favorite Movies in the forum Film 9 years, 5 months ago
@Mark-Kamibaya YES. Rogue One. Everyone. Watch it. The more I think about it, the more sure I may be becoming that it’s my favorite movie ever. Seriously. Everything about it was so well done, and the theme—!
*buries face in hands* Just… watch it. You’ll see what I mean. -

@f5a8c3e92 I don’t think I ever cried so much at an episode.
@that_writer_girl_99 Oh, yes. That one. The poor Doctor… It was so sad. Because you think it’s over and they’re safe and then… *sniffs*
Ok, enough emotions for tonight. And I just finished Rogue One again too… I’m off to bed. See you all! 😀

@rolena-hatfield w… wow. *grins so wide she splits her face* That… makes me incredibly happy. You’re right. I did not even remember that. Congratulations. 😀 *returns flourishing bow* In my experience, truly strong prose is usually one of the last things to come… glad it’s clicking in place for you! 😀
@kate-flournoy Oh dear! *hands you some duck tape to fix the split in your face* I surely did not mean for that to happen 😀 I’m glad it’s clicking in place too! (at long last!!!!) One of those things that make you think… hmmm… I wished I’d learned this years ago.
