That’s pretty cool! I’ve never been able to come up with content really easily–I usually have to take my time to create content.

I’ve never heard of those YouTubers before… I have to admit I’m really not familiar with the “youtube world,” and who’s popular and other stuff.

Yes, I am definitely a writer. I usually write fantasy,…[Read more]

Nice. Is coming up with content frequently to make videos on easy for you?

I’m definitely into the narrative/plot side of film. As far as favorite youtubers go, I have to say that GoHerping is my favorite. But as far as film directors go, Christopher Nolan is a favorite.

Who is your favorite Youtuber(s)?

I have not been very active lately, but I was reading over some of your posts and I saw that you are a film maker. Forgive me for being ignorant, as I do not have time to go back and read over every part of the conversation, but I am beginning to dabble in film myself. What kind of film stuff do you do? Do you lean more…[Read more]

I hope that I can manage to spend more time in this community in upcoming weeks.

Ooh, you’ve chosen a good subject… favorite books…

When it comes to genre, I tend to read a lot of fantasy. However, I do like several other types of books and am trying to broaden the genres in which I read. My favorite books so far would probably include: “The Inheritance Cycle,” by…[Read more]

Well, introverted-elf, (love the name) developing grabbing plot-lines is something I love trying to do. I’ll see if I can provide some tips. 😉

The first thing I have in mind when developing plots is: what grabs me? What kind of stories interest me? I look at some of my favorite stories and note what about them in particular…[Read more]

For some reason, I have been totally oblivious to anything happening on this side of the chat… I’ve posted a bit in other parts of the guild, but haven’t introduced myself yet.

I’ve been writing for several years now, though I haven’t successfully published anything yet. I’ve written an epic fantasy novel during the…[Read more]

That’s awesome! It’s definitley a good starting step to forming a writing habit.

I personally don’t have a problem with writing too little in a day, but I have problems getting my work to other people so they can critique it. It’s definitely my goal this year to involve more people in my own personal writing.

Anybody have a similar…[Read more]

They’re usually what drives the protagonist into his or her mission, so they’re usually my starting point for developing a story. Even if you don’t include a chapter from the villain’s perspective in the book, it’s not a bad idea to write a chapter for yourself…[Read more]

So I went through and read both version a couple of times. The second version definitely depicts Phillepe as a snobby prince well, but there are a couple of details in the first version I liked. (I commented about them in the docs). If I were too choose a version to stick with, I’d probably lean more towards the second version.…[Read more]

Whoops, went back and fixed the code so that it translated correctly… it also wasn’t saving properly on my profile at first.

I’m willing to take a look over it at some point tonight or tomorrow, Sylvie. Would you like us to critique it by leaving comments in the docs itself or on this chat?
