Hi guys,
I have a rather enormous announcement/request to make.
For a while now, I’ve been wanting to create my own e-course. I’ve had an idea for it too. I wanted to cover the “show don’t tell” rule. Now, to many people, that would seem like a crazy idea for a course, since…[Read more]

Honestly, I have so much more research I could pour into this thread, but sci-fi month is over so I’ll leave it as it is. Hope you guys enjoyed my rants and raves on…[Read more]

Hey KeePers!
You should have gotten an email about this last night, but I just wanted to make sure everyone was aware of our fourth panel discussion that’s happening this upcoming Monday on self-publishing and writing.
In short, we have three self-published authors (Kim Vandel, Rachel Rittenhouse, and Jeannette DiLouie) who are going to be on…[Read more]

Aaand now that that’s over . . .
For the last week of the month of June, I’ll be posting random tips that might actually be useful (unlike my deconstruction of sub-genres) :). I’ll tag random people so they can follow this thread throughout the last week of Sci-Fi Month and (hopefully) read the sub-genre deconstructions that I posted earlier.…[Read more]

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Favorites? in the forum Book Discussions 7 years, 6 months ago
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] -

Leumeister replied to the topic Aquila in the forum Sci-Fi 7 years, 6 months ago
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]

Anne of Lothlorien started the topic My Attempt in the forum Poetry 7 years, 6 months ago
So, I read some of the poems y’all suggested. (I loved the Wreck of the Hesperus). And I tried one of my own. It’s a bit silly, and I don’t like the ‘magic’ and ‘tragic’ rhyme at all, but for lack of a better one, I left it. Maybe someone can help me change it? But how do you all like it?

Hey there.
So.
My brother is an animator. A movie maker. And this summer he is venturing out on another project, and he has made me his co-collaborator or something like that. So he asked me to ask y’all about it and if you like it and stuff.
So… here’s the basic plot. I’m still a bit fuzzy on it and it may not be one hundred percent accurate,…[Read more] -

Sci-Fi Research Part 1
So the first thing I did was research what science fiction actually is. I looked for a whole bunch of definitions. Many went something like “science fiction is a genre that deals with futuristic science and technology” or “it’s merely a setting.” Personally, I found the “dealing with technology” definition to be quite…[Read more]

This weekend I saw a girl who I’m certain is a writer, though I never talked to her (I’m trying to get contact information for someone who might know her, so I can ask for her contact information in a slightly less creepy way than otherwise, but that’s another story), and she reminded me how much of my writing life I spent alone.

Please someone, anyone, I implore you on bended knee… draw Josiah the Wiser, sporting his scraggly coarse tarantula beard, with a frog (grinning evilly) on his head. Anyone who can draw, please try… if you need references, just look at his avatar, or watch the Stereotype videos

Really, really want to do this… I do need to be careful about how much time I realistically have, though. :/ What’s your planned schedule for this and when you’d need feedback by?
Ah, I should have mentioned that. My pace with this is going to be a little bit slow. I’ll try to write about a lesson a week. I only have my outline so far and a knowledge of the points I want to cover for each lesson. So this would be a gradual thing. I think honestly it might take me six months to get nailed down, though I might get ambitious…[Read more]
Got ya. I could give you feedback along the lines of #1 and #2 up through September 1st. After that, I may be able to give some sporadic feedback, but that will be completely dictated by my school schedule.
Okay, thanks. 😀 We’ll run with it.
Yes, yes, and yes again. When do I start?
I’m in. Absolutely. When do I start?
Haha. 😀 Great! Well, right now, if you want. This isn’t letting me post my original message, so I’ll try one piece at a time.
And here’s access to the course file. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzI8MlrraNgHekR6TWtEa2RTYW8?usp=sharing

I’ll try to do some lesson outlines this week. Maybe even today.
@kate-flournoy
WOW. You’ve got a lot of categories. 😛 I love it.
Me too! This is awesome.
Ah, time is a tricky thing. Well, I’ll leave it up to you. Does it make sense for you to do this if you’ll only be able to cover the first (and admittedly simplest) part? If so, I’d be glad to have you. If you’re not so sure though, you could potentially be a beta viewer when this part’s done. Or you just ignore this course and have a good life. 😛
@kate-flournoy @that_writer_girl_99 @aratrea Part 1 has outlines for all the lessons if you’d like to go check them out. 🙂 I’m hoping to write out lesson one today.
@sierra-r Have you seen this yet?
Awesome! I’ll look them over today, probably later tonight. @daeus
@Daeus which one is part one…
Part 1 – emotion telling. Right at the top of my outline. There are four lessons listed under it.
Aha, thanks. Found it. 😉
Which lessons make up Part 1? Is there a doc somewhere that categorizes/lists all these lessons?
Here’s the outline https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W87kcWtV1azNc5zA34D9jQ3yNl-wbnGDgYOnxAhrs5k/edit
In parentheses at the top it says (part 1 – emotion telling) The four lessons under that are the ones that have outlines.
