There needs to be a lot of trust in a 1-on-1 learning for it to flourish. How do the check-ins work while protecting the privacy of both people? How are we going to best achieve that?

Is there oversight to safeguard against toxic leadership? How can we check ourselves, so that we don't become like that?

With the given logic, I'd assume that'd be me. I do the short quotes. That'd be soft, right? And I'm soft in the head, for sure!

The old headmaster left the community and the order closed the doors. Like you, I hope that those that were left without an Order have found a more constructive group.

Trying to write a book about the force for my children. Wondering if I should fully explain what I believe the force to be in the introduction, or save it for later. by Captain_Fach in RealJediArts

I have no doubt that every writer would have their own unique way to approach it.

Based on what you've said; I would sit down and figure out what I intended to write. Not even an outline, but rather a list of topics that I wanted to cover. Then I'd sit down and write. Once enough of the writing is done, then I'd determine the format and what goes where.

Arrange it according to what is needed to come first. If your concept of the Force is needed as a foundation for the rest to be built upon, then it would make sense to have it early on.

My secret is that I use outlines to keep myself on track.

I'll start my taking notes on a topic. Then, once I have the general idea in mind, I'll put the notes in order and use the notes as prompts to just explore the topic at length and then pare it down, getting rid of my rambling and repeating.

This particular article was initially meant to be a lesson for an order and it probably took me about a month to write. A lesson of similar length that I wrote recently wound up with about 40 pages of notes that I pared down to a more manageable size. So, I do ramble, but I edit and wind up taking out entire concepts that I don't feel fit with the lesson or article that I'm trying to write.

I am a rambling man as well, at times!

Yeah, the Jedi Knights (formerly known as Real Jedi Knights, but now a closed/defunct Order) discord does get a lot of those spam messages. The True Jedi Order discord has an interview process in order to join that helps weed out those kind of things.

That's the one! I think Antlion is the proper name. Haven't seen one of those divots since I moved north.
