@hope and @kate-flournoy Thanks! I was afraid I’d missed something like that. 😛 The policeman thing, Cobalt was supposed to be facing the opposite way from them, away from the car, so he saw it and they didn’t. But yeah, I did kind of drop the other henchman at that part. XD Will fix that.

@kate-flournoy Correct on the blue eyes, though he has…[Read more]

Well @Daeus, if you feel confident you can pull it off well, go for it. Too often I’ve heard an idea and absolutely freaked out because I didn’t think I could do it well, then realized that whoever it was that was doing it pulled it off perfectly.

I guess I’m no fit standard for other peoples’ skills. Hm… that’s a good thing actually. 😛

Hm… well, Narratives of Light is a little dry. Chronicles of Light is good… maybe a tad bit too… ehhhh, what’s the word… too… well, the length of ‘Chronicles’ kinda swallows up the monosyllabic structure of ‘Light’. Just my picky and totally ignorable opinion. 😛

Aaaand Fables of Light sounds like you’re trying to say ‘Light is a…[Read more]

Okay, so more Cobalt for those of you who enjoyed that before.

Count me in that number. 😛

And the only things I had questions about was what @hope pointed out— what happened to the other bad guy and why didn’t the bad guys notice the policeman.

Otherwise, I loved it as I always do. Question that has nothing to do with the quality of the…[Read more]

I like Legends of Light…the downside is that the initials are LOL. Not that that has to be a problem, but still… 😉

So I thought I could do something like the Legends of Light Saga though that gets a bit long. My Dad suggested I look up other words for story and here are a few series titles I came up with. Any favorites?

Narratives of…[Read more]

One question, why didn’t the bad guys notice the policeman? And what happens to the second bad guy who should be watching Cobalt? Wait, that was two questions… 😉

@daeus I think the Lollards might be a nice, historical tie-in. But you could have them be believers even if not. Depends on how much research you’re wanting to do. 😛

There’s pretty much two ways to take on the whole traveling-back-in-time-thing. Either you humorously explain the way history is in the books, or you alter it. I’d say you’re…[Read more]

Yikes @Daeus! A dystopian time travel historical revisionist fictional novel! Are you sure you didn’t bite off more than you can chew? 😉

*puts on ‘wet-blanket’ (more commonly known as ‘Eeyore’) expression* If I was writing this book (which you’ll notice I’m not) but if I was writing this book, I would stick with either the time-travel genre or…[Read more]

Hm… I’m going to say go with #1. I would also advise a simpler font if this is going to be shrunken (glances around nervously for @The-Happy-Bookaholic) heh-heh… shrinked? Nope. It’s shrunken.
Anyway, if the font is going to be shrunken, I would suggest a little more simplicity, but it’s not overly important. Love the heron, by the way. That…[Read more]

I like number 1…it’s really close between 1 and 4, but I think I like the slightly bolder lines of 1. It wouldn’t hurt for the font to be a little bolder and Tessa’s right…the e is missing in Lakeside. 🙂 But both Lakeside Publishing and Lakeside Publication sound cool. Though if you have ‘publishing’ then you get the cool twist with the final…[Read more]

@ivy-rose – I agree with Daeus. I like number four too. You said that your website is “Lakeside” Publications but the logo has “Lakside.” Is that meant?

@Daeus… ooh, different character types. I love this discussion. I’m in my element. You mentioned a jester, and set my mind on *splutter, choke, gasp* excuse me, I mean got my thinker chugging.
What if the jester was a gloomy pessimist?
And the minstrel— what if he were a cheery, happy-go-lucky, glass-is-always-half-full type? And he and the…[Read more]

@dbhgodreigns I have one quick question. I know, on kindle, there is a place for codes which people can put in to get a book on sale. Can one set up a code so that anyone with said code can get the book for free? Or is the lowest price for that $0.99 as well?

I agree with @Kate-Flournoy about the bad guy pretending he has all kinds of power to take over. Have you ever read A Connecticut Yankee in King Aurther’s Court by Mark Twain? You really should if you haven’t…it might give you some ideas (and besides, I love the story). In there, the MC is knocked from the 1800s (I think) into Aurtherian times.…[Read more]

How to strike a balance between nobility and humanity— that’s the only thing I really struggle with.
And yes, for my favorite author:

Wow! I didn’t know you were still alive. What lotion did you use to extend your years?

I don’t make a habit of talking to people through cabinet doors, @Daeus. 😛

What other character positions do you need filled in? Are there any positions you specifically want to fill right now? ‘Cause I work better if I know what I’m working with. 😉

Can we meet at a writer’s conference or something so I can ask more questions?

Eh… that’s a bit of a gamble. 😛

Totally agree with @kate-flournoy‘s ideas. The Chekhov’s Gun is usually better used if it starts out being a hinderance or a symbol of something bad.
Yeah, I’d say the mad scientist should use his technology as manipulation and make people think he’s more powerful than he is. A magician of sorts. But he could also have a sort of limitation he’s…[Read more]

Wow. How. Do. You. Keep. All. Those. Numbers. Straight.

But this is going in my ideas file for sure. I honestly didn’t think about it as a product… but you’re right, I could use it that way.
And just the word ‘painting’ in connection with this poem has set my mind on fire. ‘A painting’ may not suffice— I’ve got ten ideas already. 😛

And…[Read more]
