Hope Ann replied to the topic Greetings, my fellow squires and knights of the pen! in the forum Start HERE 10 years ago
I can’t stand bad writing either. There is only one or two authors who I will read despite somewhat choppy writing because I love their stuff so much. @theliterarycrusader
The War of the Realms might have slightly better writing than the Kingdom and Knight series. I own both those series and I love the stories, but the writing itself? I don’t…[Read more]

@Daeus That’s why one has to watch the movie before reading the book. Because they can enjoy it before realizing how much is left out. 😉 I really liked the movie though, from the bits of the book I do know, some things were made more exciting (action wise). And the ending was happier than the book too, I think. Also, one of my characters from…[Read more]

@anne-bria This is my longer blurb, for Amazon at least. It does look a bit too long for the back of a book, but for the Amazon description one wants to go longer rather than shorter. Or so I’ve heard.
@sarah-hoven I agree with you both about taking off the bolded…here’s a shorter blurb that I could put on the back of a book. I’ve used the…[Read more]

I laughed when I read your questions, @winter-rose . 🙂
How far into my book am I? I’d say my story is a lot like Battleship when you’ve got pins sporadically placed all over your gameboard but none of the ships are sunk yet so you know the battle’s only just beginning …
So…it’s kinda hard to track my progress at this point, but I have…[Read more]

I wrote 450 words or so.
I think I’m going to stop now as well, @kate-flournoy, I’ve been writing most of the day and now’s a good stopping point.

@Dragon-Snapper I would love to keep going, but I have some other projects I need to work on so I don’t think I can. 🙁 Nice writing with you even for a short time, though. 😀

Welcome, welcome, and thrice welcome, @Anne-Swiftblade!!! I dub thee Swiftblade the Messenger… or should it be assassin? Which do you prefer? 😛 I think the role of Messenger would better fit a KeePer… 😉
Anyway. I’m Kate. Hi. I’m also a dragon, as you can see by my profile pic. Welcome again. Can’t wait to see you around.

I’ve been working on the blurb for my novel, Fidelyon, and wondered if any of you had any critiques. Especially regarding the flow of the first few lines, directly followed bye the prophecy. I’m considering taking out the bolded sentences…I’m not sure. (also, what is the official name for these things? Blurbs? Book Descriptions? Reader Traps? ;)…[Read more]

A dragon swoops in from the sky.
I’ll write as well, though I might go even further until 9:00 or so. (I’ve already been writing since 8:00)

@daeus Consider me properly inspired…after I get the next several books on my tbr list done. But you and @Kate-flournoy have talked about it so much that I want to read it. Also, I saw the movie. Which I really liked, though I could tell things were sped up even though it didn’t seem rushed. Have you seen the movie, Daeus?

Welcome, @anne-swiftblade. I love your username…swiftblade. That conjures up a number of cool pictures. 😉
Lord of the Rings. YES! Me too.
Fantasy. Another YES! What are you working on right now?

Can’t go wrong with that, @Bluejay! I’ll be praying for you and the others who are doing it with you. 🙂

Oh wow @Daeus, really… I’m glad I asked. Here’s my question though. How can the author who wrote Les Miserables write anything either soulless or themeless????? How is that even physically possible?? Grrrrrr… classical authors are so contradictory. 🙁
Yes @Christi-Eaton, Les Mis is definitely one of my favorites. But… uh… Madame…[Read more]
