Snapper replied to the topic Any Advice for A Soon-To-Be Blogger? in the forum Publishing & Platform 8 years, 9 months ago
Like @audrey-caylin said, the biggest thing you can do to build your base and bring people to your blog is comment and build relationships with other bloggers. I’ve had to do that myself.
Unexpected… Actually, the main thing that I didn’t expect was how much I’ve enjoyed it. There’s not much that I haven’t liked so far. But you…[Read more]

Snapper replied to the topic Does This Style Make Any Sense? in the forum Short Story Critiques 8 years, 9 months ago
@rochellaine AH! I love the plotline. I really want to know what happens. Like really. Write more now.
The only things I think you need to do is add some paragraph breaks–those make it easier to read. And try to use the word ‘so’ less. It’s alright to use it with this guys style, but a bit less would be better.
It’s also a bit fast-paced. If…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic Cliches of Dystopian Novels in the forum Sci-Fi 8 years, 9 months ago
@jenwriter17 I haven’t really read modern dystopia, but I do get the impression that it has lost something it used to have. Namely, all the early dystopias were prophesies. The authors looked at the culture around them and, knowing what they did of mankind, civilization, and technology, they constructed a model of the future that they thought was…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Ha. I actually have a KP Cinema video about cliches in dystopian novels coming out sometime this month. xD So a lot of my “advice” would be in there. I wouldn’t say oppressive governments are cliched because they’re required for that genre, but I would recommend studying classic dystopias like Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451, Brave New…[Read more]

Hi,
Since you started two threads on show don’t tell, I immediately thought of you for this. It’s a bit of a big request, but it could be of real benefit to you too.
As you know, I’m working on part 2 of The Show Dont’ tell Course. Well, I’ve now got all the scripts for the lessons and all the homework written. A few people…[Read more]

@pickupyourpenandwrite That makes sense; I’ve been there as well in the past. Do you have a clear idea on what parts of your story you need to improve on?

@rachellaine Probably a commoner – but why during WWI specifically?

Josiah DeGraaf replied to the topic Homework for Video 9: Theme & Story Structure in the forum Writing Assignments 8 years, 9 months ago
@sleepwalkingmk Huh. I’m not seeing anything in spam, so I’m not sure what happened on that front. :/
Either way, I like the tension between the character’s plot and thematic goals there. I’m a bit unsure, however, from what you’ve said if your plot goal is really the plot goal of your story. It seems like the protagonist stops trying to achieve…[Read more]

I did ask you to draw Camille (the character shown in the picture), but you don’t need to draw her again. 😛 Your version of her is excellent! 😀

Thanks! 😀
Yeah, I changed them to reddish pink. 😛 … Although, I’ll change them back to orange to see how they look.
No, the one you drew for me is excellent. 🙂 It really helped me visualize the characters. And, yeah, the feet are quite big… I’ll have to work on that. Also, I redid the proportions, and now her legs are a little…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum, @pickupyourpenandwrite! Glad you joined us. 🙂 Great work in passing the 50,000 word mark with your latest novel! Do you have a revision plan in place yet for the work?

@dragon-snapper Command an army. And Link blew up the melted-remelted chair.
@itisastarrynight Insects.
@rochellaine Probably stories. My character doesn’t seem like much of a reader. 😛
@skredder Probably know exactly where they are without speaking the language.
