@shannon Oh, definitely check them out! It’s one of my favourites, especially the third book, Samara’s Peril. It’s definitely for young adults, but it is a great story, and the characters are wonderful.

@winter-rose Ah well…when King @daeus banished me and then let me back in as a knight, I decided not to plunder gold anymore. Ice cream was enough for me. 😀
And now I must depart, but I wrote 1208. Have fun with your unicorn! 😀

😀 I sleep very nicely actually. Thanks to the soft bed that my characters don’t have. 😀
Yes, precious. *gollum gollum* It’s very nice, very nice. *gollum*

@winter-rose XD Yeah, that’s one good use for them. 😉

@winter-rose Ooh. Mechanical unicorns. That does sound cool!
Then I must not be a writer.
I keep the soft beds and chocolate for myself. Selfish, I know.
The story is called Regulation so far. I’ll see if it changes, but that’s that as of now. It’s a futuristic utopia.

@shannon Is it the aspect of magic that a lot of fantasy has? Because I know some Christians do have problems with that. I personally think magic is pretty cool, but it also depends what it entails, how dark it is, and who uses it and how.
But if you’re looking for fantasy to read that doesn’t have magic (or only the baddies use it) then C. S.…[Read more]

@winter-rose 😀 Hiya Frodo!
Er… A weird unicorn? For art?
I’m working on writing my new novel. Something bad is going to happen soon! Yay! Uh, I mean…uh. Oh no. That’s terrible. Poor MCs… *sorrynotsorry*

@shannon Fair enough. It can be creepy. 🙂 What about fantasy?

@Ethryndal I LOVE IT. O.o Now I have to pick which version is the best. Yay. I like the first one best, with the phrasing of all the stuff, but as you’ve already been told and are fixing, it’s too long and gives away too much information. Sooo…
I think I like the first one in your latest post best, but with these differences: keep this version…[Read more]

@Ethryndal Yo, look at this. https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/how-to-write-funny/ I dunno. Just because. XD Was it really as bad as your first impression? I mean, is there any possibility it would be better upon second watching?

@ingridrd Oooh, ice cream. This is the best book launch ever. 🙂

Guess: “75 percent chance of science!”

@daeus Congrats!! So excited for you! 😉

@Ethryndal definitely better. I love it just how it is, but as Daeus mentioned, you might cut out the first bit about her step-sister without any damage and probably with benefits.

@ethryndal Like normal, I love the voice you use.
You might keep a long version like this for use on your blog, but if you’re going to use this on a sales page or book cover, yeah, it needs to be short.
You can probably make the point about her being heroine material shorter and cut out the part about her step-sister

@ethryndal *wiggles eyebrows* I wanna read it…although, I feel like I’ve just read the whole book. 😉 It is a tad too long, but that’s nothing a little editing can’t fix. 🙂

WHY DOES EVERYONE LOVE IT SO MUCH??? *pulls hair* I swear, it wasn’t just a picky first impression. *freaks out* It wasn’t. IT WASN’T! I’m generally the less picky one in our family, to be honest, but we ALL (even dad, who doesn’t give a hoot for story structure) thought it was bad.
Arg.
Granted, it wasn’t ALL horrible. There are a lot of things…[Read more]

Being the supportive friend that I am, I find this all quite hilarious. What’s good at this point is, since I haven’t seen it, I happily can’t disagree with you. 😀 So I’ll take your word for it. *best Edmund accent* “Wul, I believe you.”
*stares* “You do?”
“Sure! Remember the time I told you about the football field in the bathroom cupboard?”…[Read more]
Just… just… MEAN. *pathetic sniffling* You don’t care about me.
Do be aware though that Edmund was totally wrong in that scene, since there actually WAS a land in the wardrobe, so you’re not really promoting your case any.
See who’s smirking now. *smirks*
*is horribly defensive* I DO SO! *pathetic sniffling*
*smirks* Of course. Edmund is usually totally wrong. Until we see him in Prince Caspian, and then he’s one of the only right ones. And then we get to VotDT, and he’s mostly wrong again. Blergh.
But YOU must be aware that that first smirk was Edmund’s, not mine. His necessary smirk for the…[Read more]
