I’m usually the opposite, I get so excited about writing the first chapter that I write a couple pages, then start worldbuilding for real, and then I write a blurb. Though I haven’t done a lot of that, either. (Unfortunately, I write way more than I plan sometimes.) I usually find myself with a lot of chapters that don’t make much sense in…[Read more]

@jonas

I think I like Tempest and Flamebreaker the best.

I like your blurb! I would totally read that if it was in a library!

@thearcaneaxiom

I just read through the second chapter, and I really like it! How do you come up with these ideas? I could never, lol. I’m having problems just coming up with a simple magic system, haha.

Great work! Also, I like the second cover, because it shows the “reflection” thing that Talien was diagnosed with and I like the theme/design…[Read more]

@jonas

yeah, I do agree with you it is realistic, I’m just experimenting with Marcurious a bit. But you’re right, Marcurious does end up having a sort of breakdown later.

The more I think about it, I guess that character arc is Marcurious a little bit, after he spends a week in the UNIT, hehe (insert evil laughter and horrible smells. bwahaha!).…[Read more]

@jonas @thearcaneaxiom

Marcurious now has a catch phrase, lol.

Well, I’m dead. 

@jonas

Well…you have great points!

I think that Marcurious is an interesting one, because he’s just used to having his way and getting himself out of trouble that he doesn’t see this as any different. He sees himself as a “god” of sorts, and sees the Pythonos as just another challenge that he can overcome.

By the way, is his ability to turn…

Pumpkin spice lattes? Or no? okay…I have never had a latte, let alone a Pumpkin Spice one. But, I do like Pumpkin Spice to begin with, so most likely yes.

Pumpkin spice lattes are THE BEST. LATTES are the best. I would totally reccomend….lol.

@rae

I love that, lol.

@spinner4him

I struggle with titles a lot too!

I usually just wait until the title comes to me (after all, the story’s more important than the title), and sometimes I have a temporary title until I can come up with a good one. I would say don’t rush it, because if you’re anything like me, it’s a distraction from your actual project and you’ll…[Read more]

She never thought that she would enjoy dancing. Not in a million years. But here she was, fighting back a smile as Hugo held her in his arms. She felt like she was turning traitor on her inner being. But somehow, she didn’t care. She didn’t want this moment to end.

When…[Read more]

Which do y’all prefer? Perhaps I could even made the integrate the title in the reflective design?

@anyone

So I’ve been working on the cover for Lucid. I thought I was happy with what I had already made, but recently decided to show a little bit more of the cereal nature of this story.

So I’ll post the old and new one:

@jonas

I like them all! I think my favorite would be midnight. It’s cool that they all seem to all seem to have different cultural influences, but all bear the same style at the same time, like they are united in their differences.

I think that with the idea of magic making them extra durable means that you can play with the blade shapes a…[Read more]

So it isn’t literal then? They are still cognitively present, simply robbed of all real sense of will and individuality. That’s always a fun theme to explore. I enjoy the discussions and themes of things that destroy will, especially will that is freely given away.

@kathleenramm

Hi Kathleen,

So I noticed that the activity board has been removed a few days ago. Was that intentional? It’s fair enough if it was done for privacy purposes, but if not, just wanted to make sure you were aware of it.

Thanks!

@spinner4him

Cool! What happens to the souls of the soulless ones? Do they simply die, the bodies simply reanimated, and the souls go to where ever souls go after death, or something more sinister?

The right title I think will come with time. As you develop the story, the name will develop with it. Regardless, here’s a few ideas:

If you want to…[Read more]

He nodded and sat down with a thud, “Kari thinks the food is… is… poisoned,”

“I doubt it, you would have already been the first to pass out if it was.”
Lane was a bit miffed about Hugos not very nice, but true reaction. “Fine. It may not be, but still…” He trailed off thinking hard.

haha!
