- My friends (@BeccaCSmith and @ShayWithThaHobbies) and I tried N.K. Jemisin's Masterclass! Here's what we learned about science fiction and fantasy writing, world-building, and creating compelling characters!
☟↓ QUESTIONS FOR YOU BELOOOOOW! ↓☟
D I S C U S S I O N Q U E S T I O N S :
Have you taken any Masterclasses before? What's been your favorite?
Have you ever gotten a story idea during a class? (Whether specifically for writing or during your accounting final or something bahaha.)
Have you heard of the Silver/Golden/etc. ages of sci-fi? Do you know of any equivalents for other genres?
What N.K. Jemisin books have you read??

SHAY'S VIDEO IS UP NOW TOO! Check it out here:
"I have a bit of a author crush on N.K" WHEN I SAY I FELT THIS-
"if you are legit good if you work and hone your craft. You will eventually break-in. Because you are a good writer. If your not good yet work hard, get better and then keep trying." My god that is the most useful advice I have ever heard...
Um I just have to say that the set they built for her looks amazing!!! I feel like I could write an entire story just sitting on that set, I would be so creatively inspired!
There's nothing like starting off a writing day with a new Kate video!
Zero draft to first draft metamorphosis is so relatable. Like in zero draft I started at what is now the 3/4 mark in my current work and the POV character has changed and it’s a WHOLE THING.
This is a great vlog! I’ve been contemplating taking this course for a while because I’m writing speculative for the first time in years and this video has definitely convinced me!
I LOVE Masterclass. This videos are making me want to re-up my subscription 😂 I’ve taken several, but my favorites are Neil Gaiman and Judy Bloom. IF the ever have Brandon Sanderson make one (I don’t know if it’s likely because he puts his lectures on YT) I will be SO there.
I was so excited when I saw the trailer for this Masterclass, and everything that you, Becca, Shay and others have gleaned from the course sounds AMAZING! Thanks for doing this collab because it's fun to see how all of you focused on different take-aways.
Was this video informative? Yes. Am I watching Shay and Becca's? Yes! Is the only thing I've taken away from this an adorable kitten in a baseball hat? Of course
i'm not a writter but you're video's give me inspiration and seeing someone talk with passion like you is amazing and really motivational !!!!

The thing I loved about this one is how she creates a relationship between the disenfranchised communities and the SFF community. She talks at some length, too, about how people with disabilities who are writing specific, that their (our… my…) stories matter, and that we NEED to write them, because we have a voice, and we deserve to use that voice.
Tbh it's refreshing to see a masterclass that's focused more toward intermediate writers because I think most courses focus on basics. that's understandable, but it leaves A LOT of people out
I also do dramaturgy, so a few questions: How populated can the world be when there is 1 death? How fast can death travel? How many people can die at once? In a day? What happens to them after? What are the implications of a personification? Does there need to be a life?
Sooooo lemme find out there's a workbook! Not that I wasn't already gonna take it again and go through it with my story, but now I really gotta take it again with this workbook I missed. This was such a fun experience. Thanks for collabing with me! You and @Becca C. Smith are awesome!
I have gotten loads of ideas from all my various classes throughout my life. In fact, in this past semester, different things I was learning in the class ended up in the book I was writing since I have a character that had a similar career.
This was an absolutely phenomenal class.
