Hey people. *tips hat grinningly*
There’s this book I just read called Eats, Shoots and Leaves, by Lynn Truss. It’s non-fiction—about punctuation. But it’s not a long or dull read at all, and is funny and very informative/helpful. Especially for people like writers who’d use punctuation more than usual. 😉
The only objection would be: it has a…[Read more]

@perfectfifths That sounds great! Having your character wrestle through the conflict between those two EiLs should lead to some good realistic movement for her arc.

@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]

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]

Hello everybody tagged below!

I’ve got a bunch of unfinished drafts of stories (plus the finished draft for the Pilot for Aquila) and I was wondering if any of you would like to alpha-read some of them (and, perhaps, beta-read the finished draft). I need input on what I’m working on because I’ve got some stories I’m stuck on.

So, for those of…[Read more]

@perfectfifths. I do like the Jungle Book, and that is interesting that Baloo actually teaches him the language of animals. I was actually contemplating how they could communicate; if Pearl would learn snake-language. Obviously some level of communication has to happen.

At first when I didn’t know they weren’t talking, I was imagining this little…[Read more]

@perfectfifths Weird question cause I am nosy – Older or younger brother?

@leumeister – No, anacondas do not take care of their young. They leave them to fend for themselves, which is why Pearl takes care of Ana’s. I think.
It’s okay if you’re picking it apart. Mentally I am too, and am just waiting for our first session of story plotting so I…[Read more]

Okay, fair enough. 😛 You could ask him what he’s using, or if I get into contact with him myself, I could ask. 😛

And, yes, I am @perfectfifths‘ brother. 🙂

Also… I’m not sure how an anaconda takes care of its young… I don’t know. I’m sorry if I’m sounding like I’m picking apart your brother’s story, it’s just I find it…[Read more]

So… the questions.
To be honest with you, this is a pretty new idea, and we haven’t had our first session of brainstorming, so I’m sure there are things that he’s developed about the story that he hasn’t told me yet. So I’ll try to answer the questions without blending what I know with what I think should happen with the movie.

Poor guinea pigs.
Oh, wow! I looked up picture of a butcher bird, and they look really cool! I’ve never seen a bird quite like it.
The craziest bird we’ve had at our house is a pileated woodpecker, that or the yellow-bellied sap-sucker.
@perfectfifths

@perfectfifths We all have to dance every now and again, right? *winks*

Sorry I’m late on interacting with you all on this! The KP staff had a work retreat this weekend and I fell behind on keeping up with these…

My biggest recommendation would be to consider the different ways Christians might honestly answer that focusing question in the way they live their lives. While most Christians may know…[Read more]

@perfectfifths *pats herself on the back*. I have a bunny! How funny is that????

@perfectfifths Well, I’m not crazy about birds, but I do go birdwatching from time to time. My favorite birds that I’ve seen so far are the Scarlet Tanager, Indigo Bunting and the Bald Eagle. Then I also love the Carolina Wren. 😀

@emily-d I just listened to Fishers of Men! It was a great song. Actually, I think I’ll add it to my running playlist. 😛
@perfectfifths Ohh…I like birds.
