It can also depend on what genre you’re writing, what kind of resources you use, how much research you do…

Historical: This genre usually has a lot of research to make it period accurate, so a lot of authors include works cited as a kind of… credentials? Proof they did their research and know…[Read more]

I think these are a good start for 9th grade. I don’t know how in-depth a critique you want if you still want one, but here are some thoughts!

The Serpent
– I think you have some good alliteration and some good diction (await, yield, condemn). I like the idea behind it, but I think one central image or moment would focus it.…[Read more]

Unfortunately, I can’t disassociate it from Anne of Green Gables, so I snicker every time I read it.

It’s not exactly a poem, but I really like Shakespeare’s Richard III or Henry V. As You Like It is pretty good! The Eagle is really well-written, but I think Charge of the Light Brigade is my favorite. (Do I detect a trend?)

I’m not very good at meter and don’t have much help there, but iambic pentameter is the most common and was the easiest for me to pick up. If you’re interested in the “rhythm” of line breaks, punctuation, parataxis, and the like, you can do a lot to control the pacing and emphasis of a poem…[Read more]

If you’re interested in “modern poetry,” aka free verse, at all, there’s a huge list!

Scott Cairns’ “On Slow Learning” is funny, as is Billy Collins. If more serious or obviously contemplative is more your style, any of Mary Karr’s “Descending Theology” poems are good, but “The Garden” and “The Crucifixion” especially.…[Read more]

I just found out that Pixar is joining up with Khan Academy to give free lessons in Pixar’s storytelling process! I just started it myself but thought it might be interesting to some people here.

I mean I know why, and you came by your Extraness honestly, but WHY? How does the Empire function, honestly? It’s like a toned-down version of that Mirror-Verse ST:TOS episode.

Galen was a great character, and he’s so different from anyone we’ve really seen in Star Wars before, so I appreciated that.…[Read more]

I can’t wait until it comes out on DVD so I can suffer in High Definition from the comfort of my own home.

@dragon-snapper @ethryndal Kennric was such a good (bad??) villain. All the in-fighting with Tarkin and Imperial hierarchy was everything I didn’t know I wanted. Also can we talk about how terrifying my boy Vader…[Read more]

Your book sounds fun, and hopefully this will be a great place for you to kick around ideas and get feedback! What kind of poetry do you like?

It’s always great to meet another INFJ! ENFP+INFJ is a hilarious duo and I love mine. My ISTJ is a sweetheart, and we get along great 🙂

So many tears. A lot of laying on the floor afterwards.

@dragon-snapper Rogue One was fantastic! How dare the characters make me care and then do THAT?

@emma-flournoy I love Tolkien! I, a terrible English major, have never read Les Mis unless you count a little abridged version. The story is beautiful though.

I’m still enjoying it, but it’s definitely ramping up to Rogue One/New Hope. It’s getting a little more serious, but the worldbuilding is on-point, and we’re finding out so much more about Sabine and what the Empire is up to. I’m in pain but also thrilled.
