J.A.Penrose started the topic Lesson 16 : Hint Dropping in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 8 years, 1 month ago
Often it is thought that there are two ways to approach writing: Character driven, or plot driven. However, with well written writing, this does not need to be the case. In fact, it shouldn’t be the case. The two aspects should be interwoven and inseparable.
This also ends up being vital in mastering your suspense. Because, particularly in our m…[Read more]

@e-jo3 Hey! Sorry it took me so long to reply. The past few days have CRAMMED with homework. Like… insanely bad. Anyhow–if you want to draw a dragon, I have one for you.
A nightfury/Icewing cross. Like… have you ever seen the dragons from Wings Of Fire? It’s book series about dragon wars. And it pretty good. It you love dragons, go read. But…[Read more]

So, Parimis, it has come to my attention, that having a space to put up tricks that help people know when to use certain words, pieces of grammar, etc, could be helpful. That will save having to hunt through all of the critues and things to find that one gem that someone had.
So, if you have any helpful little tit-bits, feel free to share!

@e-jo3 Okay, now can you tell me what good parts there are in our story?

J.A.Penrose replied to the topic Guild War 4 in the forum Announcements 8 years, 1 month ago
@e-jo3 Hmm… definitely will look into those things tomorrow. Our main issue actually is that we can’t include more. There are too many words as it. But hopefully we’ll sort it out before long.

@e-jo3 I’m rather curious. What sci-fi have you read? Just so I have something to compare to.

J.A.Penrose replied to the topic Guild War 4 in the forum Announcements 8 years, 1 month ago
Okay Parimis!
I’ve spent most of today tackling our entry, and have added a lot more character voice. That’s made the prose stronger, but to be honest, ‘unique’ is a rather cryptic phrase. However, we need to cut down a few words. So, cutting back is appreciated!
Once again, here is the…[Read more]

J.A.Penrose replied to the topic Guild War 4 in the forum Announcements 8 years, 1 month ago
@e-jo3 Also, just going to put it out there, but you need to have emotion in all stories. And generally, Sci-Fi is actually one of the most renowned types. I’ve recently edited a novel that was sci-fi, and it was amazing with highly strong character voice and with an exceptional plot. I’m fairly certain that not containing emotion and drama is not…[Read more]

@emily-d Hah, yeah, well, I’ve been pulled out of school until they have more of an idea of how bad of a condition I’m in, so mostly that’s just resulted in me being bored and realising how mushy my brain is. So glad you’re enjoying it though! That’s actually our main goal.
@e-jo3 I’m dedicating today to fixing up this entry. Tomorrow I’m…[Read more]

Hi Parimis!
As you may have gathered, I’m not exactly well at the moment, hence I haven’t even looked at what you’ve done last week. Sorry about that. D:
As it is, seeing that, a) I’m currently a mess, and b) there’s a guild war going on, that you can just give some feedback on how you reckon the annual theme topic is going.
Have you been…[Read more]

Hello Parimis!
If you hadn’t gathered already, you may well have drawn the short straw with this guild. *grimaces* I’m sick again, and hopefully will be diagnosed later today, but prayers are always appreciated. (with any luck I won’t be hospitalised) But yes, prayers for health are always appreciated as I seem to end up with some weird…[Read more]

Steward of the Pen replied to the topic Guild War 4 in the forum Announcements 8 years, 2 months ago
@cassie-hartfinh Aweome! Thank’s for getting us started. The ending does seem a bit abrupt. I think there needs to be some other conflict like we talked about earlier. That way we’re giving the character something to do as she struggles with the hope thing. That’s going to be hard to do with the word limit, but I think we can pull it off. I once…[Read more]

@e-jo3 Not too bad for your first time in krita 🙂 Nice work!
You’ve mentioned before you like copying art but it doesn’t often turn out how you want it to without copying. Is this one free-style or copied? Do you find digital art easier or harder than traditional art? -

OKAY GUYS.
@cassie-hartfinh @esjohnson My INTJ altar-ego suggests we wait a bit before we start. It hasn’t been quite two days yet, and we still have two weeks. I think it would be best if we did a bit more planning first. *wonders who this person is who’s saying we should plan and what has happened to the real me*
We probably shouldn’t use the…[Read more]
