And here we are on the second week already. It might just be me, but my goodness I feel like each week is passing so quickly, halp.

Onto the next chat about theme!

(NOTE: if you didn’t read last week’s lesson, you’d best hop over to that, because this follows on directly and could be confusing without background.)

Since theme is the base…[Read more]

@professorsjb That’s so cool! I’m really glad you learnt something, and I hope that’ll continue over the next months!

Haha, yes I hope story theory will be more interesting than music theory too. XD

Jane Maree replied to the topic {Story Theory – Week 1} What is Theme? in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 6 months ago

@professorsjb Both of those themes sound about right! In a book like Crime and Punishment, there’s often more than one major theme.

Jane Maree replied to the topic PROMPT GUILD WAR – Mona Lisa Comedy! in the forum Announcements 7 years, 7 months ago

OKAY I WROTE A FIRST DRAFT, GUYS.

At first I wasn’t totally convinced, but I think it ended up at least a tiny bit funny. 😛 It might not be a normal comedy, but I think it’s a good start. Better than nothing at least.

NOW IT’S TIME FOR EDITS! We’ve only got about four days, so edit away. Please add your edits in suggestions/comments so that we…[Read more]

@professorsjb, exciting! Do we get to read it? How long have you been working on it? What is it about?

*hopes you enjoy barrages of questions* :_

@professorsjb That’s wonderful! (Psalm 136 verse 1) ‘O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.’

Jane Maree started the topic {Story Theory – Week 1} What is Theme? in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 7 months ago

Welcome to our first week on STORY THEORY! *hands out pizza*

So I was going to do today’s post about plotters vs pantsters, but I’d gotten halfway through and I kept getting hooked up on how to describe something because plot isn’t the beginning foundation that most people consider it to be.

The fact is that theme is the solid core that all…[Read more]

I’m going to be honest with you: I put off doing this topic for a long time for no good reason at all, but NOW I’M FINALLY DOING IT.

Basically…we’re going to develop a fictional world for our guild.

I personally thought “wow, this won’t help us write more words.” and while that is completely true, it still isn’t totally useless. I think we…[Read more]

It’s been 18 weeks since the first time I wrote up a guild lesson/discussion post all the way back in June.

And now I have officially exhausted my internal list of things to cover under the guise of prose, so we’re going to move on to a NEW topic! Before that, I’m going to quickly recap everything we’ve done to do with prose so far. I have full…[Read more]

Jane Maree started the topic {2018 – Week 17} Writing from the POV of the Opposite Gender in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 7 months ago

Writing from the POV (point of view) of someone of the opposite gender can be challenging to do realistically, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. If you’re a girl, writing from a girl’s perspective will naturally come easier simply because girls know how girls think. And vice versa for dudes. However, sometimes you don’t want to write fro…[Read more]
