@graciegirl I organize things so that I can find them, but if it tells you anything, I reorganize so much, that I can never find anything. 😛

@aratrea Well…I’m stuck here… What does pride do to a man anyway? I have multiple themes, but do mind helping me out with this first one so I can get the gist of it?

@Rachelle those are GORGEOUS and that little mini story is too adorable for words. *hugs herself to keep all the warm fuzzies inside* More pleeeeeeease… Pretty please?

@ethryndal I actually have done some watercolor, and I did find it fun.
Yes, I do organize my books tallest to shortest. There’s no other way to do it. 😛
However, I don’t tend to iron people’s cloths…and I’m too lazy to keep up with my shoes. 😀
Have you seen the Lego movie? Sometimes I feel like Lord Business. 😛

@ethryndal Poor dishcloths. I’ve tried doing less detailed drawings, and they always end up looking terrible. 😛 However, I am a perfectionist in everything else. The birthday ribbons need to be in a perfect pattern. Library books also must be in perfect order, organized. My music playlists are all organized alphabetically… (I have nearly a…[Read more]

@jenali Well, if you use the ‘R’s as Gandalf does, then it can be a villain sounding name. I guess it does depend on how one says it. @ethryndal
Huh…I never veer to one letter over the other, but I do tend to be very picky in my names. It can take me more than an hour just to find a suiting name for a character, and lots of internets searching. 😛

@ethryndal Hah, are you a perfectionist too? Whenever I try sketching, I always hop straight to the details.
@rachelle … *Mission Impossible themesong plays in the background as I look at your beautiful picture*

So, what about hero’s names? What do you guys think would go into a hero’s naming? (letters and sounds and such) (Ah, the English language) 😛
I particularly think that L is a good hero letter, but what else?

@Aratrea wonderful. 😀 And yes… I love those kinds of characters too. *coughs**glances around**lowers voice* Don’t tell anyone… but… he’s my favorite. *grins*

@jenali Looks like a good basic setup there that you’ll be able to develop after video 6.

Haha, yeah, that’s a tricky issue. We’ll be addressing that more in a couple videos later on in the course–one on writing non-protagonist major characters, and one on weaving multiple themes together into one story. I will say that it normally works best…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Looks good! I like how the reaction sequence for the second scene makes it look like the king’s EiL is going to lead to disaster. Characters that stick to the right course of action despite opposition and seeming-defeat are awesome.

@audrey-caylin Ah–thanks for catching that! It should be fixed now. 🙂

@anna-brie Oh. xD Okay, yeah, I was thinking about The Land of Elyon series by Patrick Carman. So something completely different.

Yes, having multiple main characters definitely complicates things. We’ll be tackling that in a video later in the series–I’m actually scripting that lesson this week! So if you have any specific questions on having…[Read more]

@graciegirl @ethryndal I once had an extended google session on how long it takes to actually strangle someone (apparently it takes a full three minutes =P), what the proper techniques of strangulation are, and how long someone would be able to hear you if you were taunting them while strangling them…

…so yeah. Google may not trust me anymore. =P

@graciegirl Fiction writing is a great justification for making rather odd purchases. 😉

@winter-rose
Nothing to critique. Brilliantly written and engaging! The ending is very satisfying. Nice work! 🙂
