Seconding what everyone else said. There was some great advice in this thread. Also a number of things I was guilty of, like that proper noun thing. =P Thanks for doing this!

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]

@dragon-snapper That’s great! Lol Glad you got something out of this series of posts.
@daeus @kate-flournoy Thanks for following the posts. I didn’t really know if anyone was really reading them, but now I know there were.
There’s probably no other genre that I can do this type of series on (besides fantasy, and it’s really not my thing). So I…[Read more]

Snapper replied to the topic That's it. I need help. in the forum Fantasy 8 years, 11 months ago
@hope One more thing, that is, unless you tag me for more help. I would avoid doing the Blackened Rose, Crown, Seal one because some of your books are already have a rose on them, right? I don’t think we need the repetition in symbolism. Just sayin’.

@jess Well, I finished editing my ‘book’. (Not a novel–a collection of poetry) 😀 Good luck!

@that_writer_Girl_99 I’m lonely now, if you’re out there in the world somewhere. I’m editing. 😀 -

@winter-rose Don’t go, Mr. Frodo! I haven’t had the mushrooms made into supper yet. 😀
Thank you for eating at Uncle Sam’s Mushroom Harbor. Have a nice day! -
Snapper replied to the topic Writers' Corner #6 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 11 months ago
@hope Quite right. I added one ‘e’ and one ‘s’. Don’t you love mushrooms. How they taste, savory, almost? There mushy texture. The fact that they grow underground. The delicious sauces that they make to go with them. The fact that they are a fungi. In other words. Aren’t they delicious? 😀
@Winter-rose Agree on most of the time. 😀 I’m going to…[Read more] -

@winter-rose Sorry, sorry. If you need some frefreshness to the epicness, listen to ‘Heart of Courage’ by London Music Works…

@hope Well I should be too. I’m editing 75 pages of poetry, so I have something to go off of. *groan*
@winter-rose Hello, Frodo. Want some mushrooms? -

3. The Triumph -
Snapper replied to the topic That's it. I need help. in the forum Fantasy 8 years, 11 months ago
If you could think of a third war to make that last one fit, I don’t think that would be so terribly wretched.
Yeah, like War for Truth, or if you had another country or something to name it after. 😀

Snapper! Wake up Snapper! What do you think your doing? Get to writing right now!
Hmm… Well, Self, what do I write about?
Something!Well, my writing conscience seems to want me to write. Step forth, Muse, and amuse me!

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.
