Hi there! So I’m really new here and doesn’t yet know how word wars work. Would you mind explaining? 🙂

Thank you!!

@mlbolangerauthor

Thanks for bringing up Ms. Weiland, Michelle! I’ve been following Weiland’s articles for over about a year now – she has some wonderful resources/books/free articles. 🙂 I’ve been doing my best to apply them and was wondering if any of you know some other resources as well.

@chalice

Thank you, Chalice! I’ve been hearing about The Anatomy of Story by Truby from Weiland for a while now, so I’ll def. need to check it out of my library! Is he very specific with outlining techniques, or is it more like a general explanation about structure?

@wordsmith

Glad to know that I’m not the only one with this question. 🙂

@eden-anderson

(Your profile photo is SO cute!!!)

Yes, I’ve think I’ve seen this pyramid before in AP Lit class. 🙂 I’m familiar with the basic story structure and am looking for more specific outlining templates/techniques…

Thanks for being my first respond-er to this topic!

Ditto!

@mlbolangerauthor

Hi Michelle,

I think these questions you presented here are very important issues for authors to think about. 🙂 So thanks for bringing them up!

Currently my WIP (just started, btw) focuses on human rights. My premise is basically what makes us human and can clones possess souls and unique personalities. I plan on tackle these…[Read more]

@write-owl

Thank you for those resources! I will check them out. 🙂

My profile on Goodreads is a bit sparse 😛 I’ll try to look you up.

Ahh I see – well, I like your characters’ names 🙂 My current WIP is a sci-fi about a group of scientists seeking to identify and prove that clones possess souls and should obtain equal treatment as human…[Read more]

@samantha-pen

I think some INTJ writers I’ve read about include CS Lewis, Emily Bronte, and Jane Austen. 🙂 Quite a list, right? What are some historical figures/writers with your personality?

Les Mis is super long. 😛 I need to read the unabridged version though.

Hmm… your synopsis sounds interesting! So is it in the Historical…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

I’ve seen Andy Griffith’s, but was not super impressed with it… Some older TV shows I can think of right now are Daniel Boone. 🙂

@rochellaine

Cameos count. 😛

I’ve not seen a whole bunch of oldies couples, so unfortunately I can’t say.But I do see quite a bit of old movies – weird.. probably because most of them were Christmas movies or westerns.

I love Holiday Inn and White Christmas.

Bing Cosby is awesome.

@rochellaine

Hi!!! Yes I do!!

I also like Leslie Howard in Pygmalion and The Scarlet Pimpernel. 😉

I’ve seen a lot of Flynn movies. 😀 Robin Hood is another great one, but I’ve seen all the movies listed in his Signature Collection vol. 2…[Read more]

@theinconveivable1

Yeah, I just saw the trailer and it’s not impressive.

It’s one of those films that the people who created the trailer didn’t know how to do it well 😛

The film is great. 🙂

@evelyn

🙂 Sounds like you’ve got it all figured out – that’s wonderful! I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to do for a loooong time. We def. need more great Lit teachers 😉 I’m sure you’d be awesome.

@evelyn

Thank you very much!! *going to the site now*

@theinconceivable1

““you fell for the classic blunder! the most famous of which is never wage a land war in asia but only slightly less well known is this! Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line! AH HAHAHA, AH HAHAHA, AH H… *falls over dead*”

YES!!! That’s it! Thank you, sir. 🙂

Yeah, the B&W is the sad part, but honestly, the…[Read more]

@theinconceivable1

Actually, I think I mis-communicated. I meant that I loved that scene. It’s my favorite sword fight scene ever! 🙂 They were both so good.

I liked the “never wage a land war in Asia” (or something to that effect). 😀

BTW, if you like swashbucklers and pirates: check out Captain Blood – it’s B&W oldie film but really good.…[Read more]
