@overcomer Awesome! We’ll be getting into a lot of story planning stuff in this course, so it should be right up your alley. Keep that goal in mind while taking the course and we’d love to hear once you’ve finished how helpful this course has been to your story planning.

@overcomer Thanks for the catch! That’s actually something we haven’t completed yet for the beta test (at one point we thought it might, but plans change), so unfortunately we don’t have that available yet. However, the worksheet when completed will just be asking you to write down your story’s theme, focusing question, message, and four alternate…[Read more]

@lightningmouse Apologies for the glitch, but thanks for pointing that out to us! We’ll be working on fixing that file. In the meantime, if you go to https://kingdompen.org/subscribe/ and put your email address in there, that link should work to get you the 2016 ebook. 🙂

@Daeus Okay…it was something kind of like that, and Headstone attacked him after stalking him. *sigh* Not happy people.

@JadaMae You’re right. I can’t believe I didn’t think of that. 😛

@Daeus not a problem. From eight to now I got 724 words. How was it for you?

@Winter-Rose awesome! Tag me when you stop. I’m planning on going until nine.

@Daeus I am having internet trouble again but I’m still planning to write. Tag me when you’re on. Anyone else, feel free to jump in. The more the merrier.

@Northerner yeah. It was extremely poorly done, to say the least. I didn’t really have a problem with Tauriel actually— even though I’m a Tolkien purist as well 😛 — but the instant they made her the point of a triangle I lost everything I liked about her. It was just so not worth it. I still really enjoyed a lot of the Hobbit movies— Bilbo…[Read more]

@Daeus good point. Yes. Man’s depravity would more correctly fit in with the eventual message. *goes and changes it in her brainstorming file*

So I did this… this homework stuff is awesome. 😀
Theme: Man’s depravity.
Focusing question: what makes man good or evil?
Possible answers:
a. his justification
b. his position
c. his influence
d. his upbringing
e. the state of his heart

… and then spin that off into one big question that sets up the rest of the series: what makes a man’s hea…[Read more]

@Sierra-R I’m not familiar with the Phantom of the Opera one, but as for the Hobbit one— *gag* Please. Don’t even get me started. 😛 The number one problem with it was that it was basically a crush that got treated like real love to the exclusion of a love that had been growing for centuries. Now Legolas in that movie had some SERIOUS…[Read more]

@Daeus The midnight walk thingy must be something not in the movie—was it nice interaction between the two? Because there was something kind of like that in the movie, only Mr. H was totally trying to destroy (for real) Eugene. Hardly a walk…I don’t exactly see that as a redeeming quality. 😛 Maybe Mr. H was nicer in the book.

Thanks, @winter-rose . I think you’re right. 🙂

Those are good ideas, @ingridrd ! I’ll definitely give them and try and see. Thanks! 🙂

Great poem, @overcomer. I echo what everyone else said, but I noticed a few things in the last stanza.

They flew off refusing me an encore
So rapidly their wings whirred
‘Til they were lost among the trees
And I looked after them feeling absurd

Maybe cut out “and” in the last line. I feel like “refusing me an encore” could be first so that i…[Read more]

Anyone want to write with me for 25 minutes? @dragon-snapper ? Anyone?

I might be doing some writing an hour or two from now.

I can’t find the worksheet for lesson four, @aratrea . Isn’t there supposed to be a link or something below the video? Thanks!
