@ethryndal Genuisi?
FORWARD MARCH, FELLOW WORDIAN?

@ethrndal Genuisi?
FORWARD MARCH, FELLOW WORDIAN?

Okay, so I retook the test, and I got 31,300 words, because I missed some, and yet they seemed to have added some. Anyway, this has given me a topic idea…hee hee. 😛

@ethryndal I’m with you on that. Then we can be genius’ together!

@daeus What if I said that he was the villain? What if I said that he was the worse villain that ever was…worse than Darth Vader? Hypothetically, of course.

@ethryndal Wow, watching if 4 times must have allowed you to catch some things you may not have before, right? I like the Kylo Ren with the mask. I don’t like the Kylo Ren without the mask. 😛

They never told me whether I was average or above average or genius or anything like that. *pouts*
Anyway, my guesstimated vocab is 22,500 words.

And @daeus is the moderator? 😛

@daeus Yeeahh…the thing is, I gave pretty much each of the MC’s, good and bad, a ‘theme’. So it might be a bit less than that, but thank goodness for this course. Without it there would be no theme whatsoever.

1. Rebellion
2. Good vs Evil
3. Man vs Self
4. Abuse of Power
5. Effects of the Past
6. Courage
7. Arrogance
I forgot one. 😛
@daeus

No! Not Rogue One yet…please, no one say anything, or I will melt them. No, I just saw the Force Awakens for the millionth time. @ethryndal

@ethryndal Excellent. *steeples fingers and chuckles* Soon your training will be complete. (sorry, I just watched Star Wars again) 😛

@northerner Same; I haven’t read the Eagle for years. Though I do want to read it again. And Henty can be very dry…Beric was the only one that I thoroughly enjoyed, and that’s mainly because of the arena scene.

@northerner Part of the change might come in profits. An author receives all of the money from the book if they self-publish. Also, they may want freedom to do what they want (I know I do.) I know that our culture in the US is very much supportive of independent folks, so that may be part of the self-publishing. Also, it seems as if much more…[Read more]

@daeus Wow…you single-handedly made me want to self-publish and never let a traditional publisher get a hold of my books. 😛

@kate-flournoy @daeus @aratrea Wowzers! Awesome advice, guys! I used the summary of K. M. Weiland’s three plot structure thingy and that actually deepened my theme. And Kate, I’m copying that down too. Thank you all!

@kate-flournoy Hey, I’ve read the Eagle of the Ninth! 😛
@charisetter The only thing that sounds familiar to me is the pet wolf…it was in some roman book I’ve read before (was it Eagle of the Ninth or was that Beric the Briton?)

@jess Wow! That’s a good amount of words! Thanks for writing. 😀
