Really?! That’s so cool! Persuasion is one of Austen’s works I have not read yet, but I love the movie! ❤Yeah, I so agree!! I’ve heard of the John Adams movie, but I haven’t seen it. 🙂

Maybe “aspiring sci-fi writer” wasn’t the best way to word that.
I dabble. I’m a dabbler. That’s a better way to word it.
I have a lot of ideas for sci-fi/fantasy stories, but I have a hard time picking one and actually writing about it. I’ve written a few scenes for one story in particular, called “Copycat” (pending title), but…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen @cassie-hartfinh @anne_the_noob14 @ariella-newheart @pursuewisdom This sounds amazing! I’m going to be busy today but I’m going to just pop in the document and see if I can make any suggestions 😉

Parimis. The first guild war of 2019 has arrived! And I’ve got a good feeling about this one. (As in, we’re going to love it and go crazy.)

Word Limit: 2500
Starts: *awkward cough* Apparently Monday 4th EST
Ends: Monday 18th EST

Okay, I should totally check this lady out! Sounds amazing! 😀
YES!! They should make a movie about her life…although it would drive me CRAZY if they blotched it up. Like portrayed her in the wrong sort of way, if you know what I mean.
Yeah, I’m still trying to learn my craft too. It’s hard…😉

@eden-anderson
🙂 Awesome! I’m listening to her reading of Austen’s Persuasion right now.Absolutely correct. I hate it when biopics are made badly. I was really impressed with HBO’s John Adams (2008). Some liberty was taken with facts but overall it was rather accurate and good.

Ooh. Phantom Menace. With… DARTH MAUL. Ahem. He’s awesome.
So… a little thing about Thrawn. So… the Thrawn Trilogy is part of the Star Wars Expanded Universe and technically isn’t canon anymore. Since the new movies came out. However there’s a book just called Thrawn and another called Thrawn: Alliances that are canon and act…[Read more]

Huh, I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone say that a Nadine book didn’t click with them. 😉 But the books get better as they progress, in my opinion, and the last book is SO. SATISFYING. 😀 (if you like Hawke, then you’ll love the third book 😛 )

Hey Parimis!
What’s up. (:
Well, I’ve been working on a short story for a contest and I was hoping for some feedback since I don’t write short stories that much.
It’s called The Year of the Daisy and is short (haha, most of my short stories aren’t short but this one had a word limit xD) It’s about 2500 words. Okay 2498. ;P
Anyways, I would…[Read more]

J.A.Penrose started the topic Characters | Lesson 4 : The Other Side in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 8 months ago
A lot of the time, characters are written so that they are 100% good or bad. The protagonist is perfect, good looking, and maybe he has mild claustrophobia as a weakness. The villain is evil, kills puppies and shoots up old ladies in his spare time, and maybe every now and then he tortures someone who spilt his coffee instead of killing them.

I’ve read Julie Rose’s (I’m sure that’s the name). It was really easy to read (if you’re used to the classics anyway) and it had notes at the back, which I found really helpful/interesting. The one I own is Norman Denny’s, which is supposedly the best, but I haven’t read it, so I can’t really comment.
Julie Rose’s uses fairly…[Read more]

Interesting re:first person. Do you think it’s a matter of it being more immersive?
That’s probably it, or since I’ve used first person in most of my books I have a lot more experience writing that way. 😛
