I could not agree more.

@winter-rose Well perfect. I’m still here too.

@winter-rose I’ll join you if you are still there.
@kate-flournoy @dragon-snapper You on tonight?

@aratrea Can I post a character arc for each lesson, or should I just stick to the character I’ve been working on so far?

@aratrea My answer is similar to my last one as well. One thing I have noticed in my own life is that it takes repetition. It takes a series of events to change; there isn’t generally one event and then I accept whatever the change might be wholeheartedly. The same is true with characters. There will be events that make them doubt, and then each…[Read more]

@audrey-caylin Well, not sure yet. Sometime before the end of the month. 😉

@ClaireC Was It A Morning Like This?’… not sure who wrote it, but it was sung by a singer named Sandi Patti and it’s my grandma’s favorite. 😉

And sure, I’ll pray for you. 🙂

Thanks for praying @Ethryndal and @Sarah-H. I’ll let you know how it goes when we get there. 😉

@sarah-h It looks like I have your email. Just let me know if it doesn’t come through.

@anna-brie Those look like a really good set of Experiments! I like them a lot. Could you develop a bit more, tho, how #1 leads to that consequence? I’m not completely sure I’m seeing the connection.

@sarah-h Probably within two weeks. If you want to go ahead and get started though and just play it by ear, that’s fine

@sarah-hoven Probably within two weeks. If you want to go ahead and get started though and just play it by ear, that’s fine

@anna-brie Using other author’s characters for inspiration is great. And being able to put yourself in their shoes like that as an ENFP is awesome! Understanding characters who are very different from you is crucial to being a skilled author, and it sounds like you’re on the right path. 🙂

@anna-brie Yeah, writing with multiple themes can be a tricky. When we polish this course, we may need to move that lesson closer toward the beginning since a lot of people here seem to be working with that. My recommendation here, though, would be to only focus on the theme of righteousness here and the specific message you’re drawing from that,…[Read more]

@gideon-sowdon Daeus took pretty much everything I had to say, so it looks good now! And great idea to think about using an autobiography in addition to a fictional story. Seeing these principles in real life like that can be really helpful for learning how to apply them in your own storytelling.

@audrey That’s awesome–especially since your role model is someone you can see and interact with on a regular basis. 🙂 And yes–I absolutely agree with you on the superhero front!

@audrey-caylin Yeah, Mockingjay especially certainly has a negative arc. In addition to the ones I mentioned in the video, King Lear (really, all of Shakespeare’s tragedies), Oedipus Rex, the Dark Knight, and Morte d’Arthur are all examples of good negative arcs.

@daeus Oh, are you publishing it on Amazon? My friend did that just yesterday.

I think I’ll pass on the email thing, sorry. But I’m still super excited for your publishing! 😀

@mark-Kamibaya Sweet. Just contact me through the link in the third post on this thread and I’ll get it to you.

@graciegirl Awesome. I should just note that if your siblings are very young, this might not be the best book for them. If you have any doubts about that, you can just read the first chapter, and if you think that’s fine, then the rest of the book should be too.

If you can just contact me through the link I have on the third post in this thread…[Read more]
