I mentioned earlier about my Spanish teacher’s mom’s death. Well today in class she broke down and told us how fearful and anxious she has been as a result. She knows God is there, and she knows He can give peace, but there is something insi…[Read more]

*evil snickering*
Yeah… @Daeus and @Sam-Kowal were right. I’m the wrong person to ask.

@sam-kowal Yeah, Dalinar’s character arc was amazing. Didn’t think Sanderson could top Kaladin’s in WoR, but he pretty much matched it. Yeah, Adolin seemed to get away with that, and I was also looking for some closure on the moral questions being raised regarding the morality of war.

For a first time author, avoid going over 120k; 130k max if you absolutely have to. Once you become published, you can push the limit more (I just finished a 450k fantasy work that topped the NY bestselling list), but publishers aren’t willing to risk those sorts of word counts for unpublished authors.

@dragon-snapper The max? Hahahahaha!
Oh, dear. The max, you say. Well, I don’t know if there is a max. 😉 Probably very few people if any have ever written a 1,000,000 word fantasy novel, but I will say that the trilogy I’m working on is looking like it will end up that long.
And whatever you do, don’t ask Kate this question!

So….I’ve heard a lot about fantasy novels being long, but Iv’e never written anything longer than 85,000 thousand words. Anything that was going to be longer than that I never finished. So I’ve been wondering…how long is the max for fantasy novels?

@inkling-for-christ I would love to read you work, if you still want feedback. But may I make a suggestion? Reading it in a post like this is a bit hard, and makes it tricky to comment on what might need revising. If you could put it in a Google Doc and share the link with us on Suggest mode, that would give us the ability to highlight sections to…[Read more]

@daughteroftheking, fare thee well fellow fashion savvy person.
I think I’ll probably end up making Eritrea her name and Estia her undercover name, or vice verse. thanks for your input

Alia replied to the topic Writers' Corner #11 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 9 months ago
@daughteroftheking, I think I’ve narrowed it down to two names. Eritrea and Estia. which do you think? she’s a thinker, a fighter, a planner, and a spy
