ProfessorSJB replied to the topic {Story Theory – Week 4} From Theme to Character Arc! in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 8 months ago
Wow, I am really missing out on the deep conversations here…I shall readily insert myself in it.
I’ve been meaning to write a negative arc character, but haven’t simply because I sort of don’t want to (?) twist my characters too much…although, the thought is always there…
Your story sounds really interesting!…[Read more]

Sadly, I did not draw the profile picture…it’s from a random Goodreads quote. However, I do draw and I post my drawings on Tumblr if you’re curious.

I love all classical music (which, by the way, is not limited to that era) like Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich. And Beethoven is just on another level…I also love soundtracks of basically anything.
Of course, we travel all around the WORLDS, which makes it exactly like the woods between the worlds and of course I think

Totally. Through this theme discussion, I could grasp what my prose could look like and really began paying attention to what it was. Thank you so much for guiding us through this journey, and
I’m hoping I’ll enjoy story theory more than music theoryI know I would love story theory. -
ProfessorSJB replied to the topic {Story Theory – Week 1} What is Theme? in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 8 months ago
I would say in Crime and Punishment, the theme could be ‘redemption’, but it could also be ‘justice’.

I’ve been working on it for almost four years now. *audibly gasps* I’ll definitely post it here once I make them legible, but right now it is a word vomit.

Hi all! So I finally managed to finish the first draft of my novel, and I hired a trusty editor (my brother) before I would post it here. I have the deadline set for the end of November since I want to start working on my next book or another project. Please come knocking around that time.
Thank you 🙂
