@Kate-Flournoy that works…and if you get too busy, that’s fine. Life happens. 😉 There’s a link to my blog in the first post (the blue ‘here’). Just contact me though the contact page…which should be working. I’ll get your e-mail that way and you can just say who you are and that you’re from here. 🙂

I like it too. 🙂
Okay, I talked to my mom, and she says we’ll have time for it. I can’t make any promises as to when I will have it finished for you, but hopefully it should be before the end of the year. We’re just starting to get back into homeschool after welcoming our tenth sibling into the home 😀 so the schedule is going to be really,…[Read more] -

@Jada: I just finished Prophet and have the next one ordered from the library. It’s really good so far! 🙂 I can see a few Peleg Chronicles similarities…
@Hope: First books of the infinite, or Peleg chronicles?

Thanks for the tips, Daeus. I have an… ahem… hypothetical case to present. Just a question, actually. Say a young man (sixteen, almost seventeen) was thrown into command of a tired, demoralized, losing army, while his father (who had been the commander) and his uncle (with whom he is very close) and his sweetheart (enough said) are captives of…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy ‘word wielder’, I like that. 🙂
I like to get a few different opinions on my books…I don’t have an set number of beta readers (it’s pretty much anyone who’s interested). As for length, this book has grown at least 10,000 words since the first draft and I’ve another book that is about twice its length…and I can’t figure out how…[Read more]

How many people do you want to beta read your book, Hope? Because I can’t say for sure, but I may be able to as well. Considering it is only 125 or so pages (which is an excellent length for a book; how do you do it? Mine end up five hundred plus!) I could probably squeeze it in. I’ll talk to my mom about it, and if she says we’ll be able to do…[Read more]

@Daeus Well botheration but, thanks to you, after checking my e-mail I discovered my contact gadget wasn’t working. And probably hasn’t been working for quite a while for some reason. Anyway, I’ve made a contact page which I’ve tested and which does work. So sorry about that, but if I could just trouble you to resubmit your e-mail on that page…

*Also stalking topic because I’ve been discovering that boys (excuse me, men) think very differently from girls and quite a few of my main characters are young men…*

Hope Ann replied to the topic Beta Reading: King's Armor in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 11 years ago
@kate-flournoy The book is around 75,000 words long (125 pages, give or take a little).
@Daeus I’d love if you could look my book over…especially to (hopefully) make my fight scenes realistic.
It would depend on what is going on in a year, of course, but I’d probably be able to look over a longer book. I have a book of my own which is nearly…[Read more] -
Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Real Men: To Cry or Not to Cry?? in the forum General Writing Discussions 11 years ago
Only the sixth chapter of the first book! It hasn’t even started to get good yet!
Oh, and with the screaming, gasping, fainting thing, I was talking about this topic. What makes men scream, what makes them gasp, etc. Sorry— should have clarified that. 😛

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Real Men: To Cry or Not to Cry?? in the forum General Writing Discussions 11 years ago
@Daeus— the fourth chapter of the first book? Or the fourth chapter of the third book?
Oh, and how ’bout screaming? And gasping? And fainting? Just kidding about the fainting. 😛

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Beta Reading: King's Armor in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 11 years ago
How long is your book, Hope? Schedules constrain us to ask such beastly questions. 😛

I just wanted to announce that I’m opening up one of my books, a young adult allegory about creation vs. evolution in the church, for beta reading. I don’t know if anyone here is interested in beta reading, but if you are, you can visit my blog here and read a brief blurb about the book as well as the opening third of a page. I’m also willing to…[Read more]
