Lecture Lesson 5: Revealing Wormtail
Hmm. Susan, I never thought of one blogger having to keep a distance from another. That sounds anxiety promoting to me :censored: I have to explain my way into an answer (which, in the end, is ambiguous.) Number one, I found "writelikerowling" first and it has far fewer posts than your blog...- phoenix

Lecture Lesson 5: Revealing Wormtail
So! You may not have heard about the blog at "writelikerowling.com" I just received an email where her latest post is called "Revising Like a Billionaire." Lyn, thanks for your image of that OotP planning grid. I'd seen it but it was always a little blurry. In today's blog at...- phoenix

Lecture Class Schedule
Susan, I'm just cottoning on to how the site works and came back to find the note about your dad. I know you said it wasn't dire, but it's still tough anyway. My thoughts are with you and, if we get a little casual about the calendar, that's just fine. Take care, and thanks for all your...- phoenix

Lecture Lesson 3: Return to the Dursleys
Learning a lot here. I have Galadriel's book from the library, ready to read. The "spot" observation is wonderful. I read numerous interviews of JKR back in the early years of her book releases. Whenever a reader-questioner asked a question which indicated very attentive reading and good...- phoenix

Lecture Lesson 2: Quidditch, A Prisoner of Azkaban, and Thestrals to MoM
Urgh! My response above had italics for Susan's passages and regular for my comments. Now I see it's all gone italic. It might take a bit of effort to sift one from the other.- phoenix

Lecture Lesson 2: Quidditch, A Prisoner of Azkaban, and Thestrals to MoM
Lyn, I too have been exploring another blog (Nathan Bransford) about POV, and he also uses HP as an example on a few occasions. (I can't yet read HP completely critically/technically, partially because I still get hooked into the story and partially because I don't know what to look for.) I am...- phoenix

Lecture Lesson 1: Characters with More Emotional Range than a Teaspoon
I just read through the lesson for the second time, bolding what stood out for me. The one that hit home the hardest was this passage from Susan: "One nuance we see that works very effectively in JKR's protagonist/antagonist relation is how Harry and Voldemort grow apace of each other...- phoenix

Lecture Lesson 1: Characters with More Emotional Range than a Teaspoon
No, no. Before this course started, I had read through all posts on your blog, so I knew about your release. I found Editorial Anonymous separately and am working my way through that because it's like getting a peek at the underbelly of the beast, so to speak. I just made the connection because...- phoenix

Lecture Lesson 1: Characters with More Emotional Range than a Teaspoon
Susan, this worked just fine for me. Thank you. Also, congrats on Southern Fried Wiccan. I'm making my way through back-posts on the blog by Editorial Anonymous just to get a glimpse of the industry. You should really be very proud.- phoenix

C'mon in and say hi!
Hello All, my name is Marie McLean and I'm here because I am just discovering the world of creative writing from the craft POV. JKR has piqued my interest exponentially to find out "how did she do that?" I've rarely reread a book and, to my subtle bewilderment, I find myself in the fourth read...- phoenix
