@faith_blum
The exercise/activity is just meant to be a really quick, fun scene that you can write with any one of your characters that you choose. Simply them walking into a cafe or restaurant or other sort of place. A very simple setting, solely to practice strengthening the character voice in your writing. ๐@All great job, guys!!

@inspirewrite, I like your poem. I’ve tried poetry but I’m not good. Takes a lot of work to stick with a theme.

@faith_blum
Yess same. I really loved linking Chewie’s story together a bit more. The whole ‘origin story’ idea was really cool to me too. It showed how Han became the arrogant smuggler we meet in episode four and I felt that it made him even deeper than what we got to see in the original trilogy. It showed a more weak, uncertain Han, and that was…[Read more] -

*gasp* Hey that’s totally okay. ๐ What specifically was it that made you dislike the movie?@Faith_Blum

So I watched this movie yesterday and I decided it would be fun to make a topic and those of us who’ve seen it can chat about it and talk about the theme/characters/plot and all the fun stuff that made the movie a good movie. Because there’s stuff we can learn from it!
Obviously, we’ll try keep spoilers to a minimum so that no one has the movie…[Read more]

How long have you been writing for?

The ‘published author’ badge always gets me lost. xDMaybe I should give it a try again sometime…
Ah right, gotcha. Well at least pizza is still good even without bacon. And homemade pizza is the very best pizza can ever be. (Particularly if it’s made in a woodfire pizza oven)
