J.A.Penrose started the topic Lesson 27 : Raving About Pacing in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 9 months ago
Hopefully by now, (sorry newbies) you have got a fair grip on Pacing and Suspense.
Today, you have a super easy task. Name one text, (try to use one that you haven’t before in these lessons) and show how it used pacing and suspense well. Try to be spoiler sensitive!
To help clarify, a text can be a book, poem, movie, song, play, video game,…[Read more]

Okay, everyone, how about this? The first few paragraphs are coming together!
(And @silverclaw-bonnetfolly , I may be able to incorporate some of your ideas! WHEEE! 😊😊😊)

All right guys! Can you all share your ideas for specifics here? We can take a vote on which ones to use tomorrow, and then one of you can volunteer to write it and post it by Tuesday morning. That ought to give us at least 5 days to revise and polish. Don’t…[Read more]

Steward of the Pen replied to the topic Guild War…6? in the forum Announcements 7 years, 9 months ago
Okay guys, we’re now five days into this war and we need to make some decisions to move forward! *hands out lembas*
There have been lots of enthusiastic ideas thrown around and different opinions about what this should entail. It seems like the majority of those who have voiced their opinion want to go with a dream rather than a vision, and @ariel…[Read more]

I like how you explained Inception to us! I did watch that movie and loved it a lot! 🙂 Your proposed idea/s sound fascinating – and I think it has great potential in a longer book (or film for that matter ;). However, I’m not talented enough to convert it into a short story (although it’s very likely that someone else here is @j-a-penrose…[Read more]

*rushes in from faraway land of Tennessee*
The downside to traveling is I enter the guild war late in the game.
Anyways, guys, I am seeing some STELLAR ideas here!! And now, for MY ideas.
The past three nights, I have dreamed of three things: the first night, somebody said to me “…if you are the New Mercy…”. The second, I was crushing…[Read more]

J.A.Penrose replied to the topic Guild War…6? in the forum Announcements 7 years, 9 months ago
@e-jo3 Sweet! Can you give a basic rundown of the concepts in Inception?
@julia Yes! That is so cool. I love all of K.M.Weiland’s things. So much. When I’m in doubt, that tends to be where I go. *nods* I approve.
@steward-of-the-pen Some great starting ideas! (And Daeus is judging this one.)

Parimis to attention!
I know we haven’t gotten the results back from our NaNo word war yet, but the Prompt War of December has arrived!
Now, some of your are new to this, and that is okay! It’s fairly simple, and you’ll soon work it out.

J.A.Penrose started the topic Lesson 26 : Compare and Contrast in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 9 months ago
Again, this is a recap lesson to help you keep on improving your skills in Pacing and Suspense!
The goal today is to write a really slow, suspenseless snippet, then one that is full of suspense. BONUS POINTS if they are the same scene. Not that there are points, but that will help give you the right idea.
As always, keep it fairly short. I’m…[Read more]

Hey guys, it’s Caleb!
So I have this character in a video series that I want to develop, and I wanted to see if you could help me.
His name is Bobby Jones, and he is supposed to be a mix between Indiana Jones and an adventure hero stereotype… the thing is, no one meets him. Although the plot of my story revolves around finding him, he’s…[Read more]
