Ooh, I’d love to give these a look through. Would you be able to change the access so that we can leave suggestions and comments on the actual docs? That would be simpler. 🙂

Jane Maree started the topic {2018 – Week 4} Passive voice vs Active voice in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 10 months ago
Passive Voice. It’s another one of those phrases that you might’ve heard thrown around, but not entirely understood what it means. (I know I certainly didn’t understand what I meant for the first three years of writing, at least.)
Passive voice is when the subject of the sentence is acted on by the verb, rather than the subject doing the…[Read more]

@professorsjb post it on here, and get critiques! Or say you haven’t really shared before, and share it, and people will be willing to mostly tell you how they like it.

@ericawordsmith and @professorsjb I had a friend do it for me and got it at intermediate, so i’ll just say i’m that.

Jane Maree started the topic {2018 – Week 3} Getting thoughts and Character Voice into 3rd Person POV in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 10 months ago
Bouncing off of our first week’s exercise on Character Voice, I thought it would be interesting to look at how to do that in 3rd person POV.
Being able to write in 3rd person as well as 1st person is a useful skill to have, so I don’t want to focus on either one of them overly. But just for this week we’re going to take a closer look at the ins…[Read more]

@professorsjb I love those snippets! And I really recommend Earthsea, though the Studio Ghibli version is nothing like the books.

Jane Maree replied to the topic {2018 – Week 2} Learning From Other Books in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 10 months ago
Those two snippets are perfect examples! I really love both C.S.Lewis and Dostoyevsky’s works.
It’s funny that you mention you didn’t like Harry, because I’ve actually heard that from quite a few people. I, personally, adored the twins and only them. xD But I also didn’t really dislike Harry either.

Okay, we’ve got to decide on the story now, so we can write it and edit it in time to submit it next week. Let’s take a vote between our current two options.
1: Villain death.
2: Immortal watching another loved one die
Feel free to give details on why you pick the one you pick and toss out more brainstorming ideas for either one. WE’RE GOING…[Read more]

Yesss, I think it’s a cool idea too. (I mean…that’s kinda why I suggested it in the first place xD) but yess, I think it could be done really well and have that nice ending guilt that will really punch the reader. - Load More
