Another blurb idea. 😛 Maybe there’s a sentence that kinda summarizes the main part of the story you could start the blurb with that you like better than your first sentence? Like, is there one from where your nine chosen characters discover that they are called or learn of their mission, or a sentence that hints at your villain’s…[Read more]

I’m up for it! Talking about WIPs is a ton of fun. 😉 What’s yours about?

@kathleenramm

Hmm… Least favorite main character type? I guess I really have problems with the perfect ones. Especially the ones who are in their teens or young adult years and unbelievably wise, even up to the point of counseling their older siblings and friends on problems which they have no experience in (e.g. romantic relationships).

@jodi-maile @nova21 @joelle-stone

Okay, sounds great! 😀

(@joelle-stone I really hope you check out Fireflies in December!!! I desperately want to talk about it with someone. 😛 )

@sparksaraabbott11

How cool! I love characters who struggle with the things Cora does. 😀

@sparksaraabbott11

I’m several days late (*facepalm*), but hi Spark! Welcome to the forum! I’m Lydia. 🙂

Here are a couple questions, if you like questions. 😉

1. Who are your top three authors?

2. If you had to change your name, what would you change it to?

3. Ice cream or frozen yogurt? (Random question… But oh well!)

@joelle-stone @jodi-maile @nova21

(I figured, since we’re working on this together, I’d tag you all. If you’d rather I just tag one of you, don’t hesitate to let me know😉)

Perhaps we should start with the type of blurb you want to do? I know some authors summarize the beginning of the story and the main conflict, others will just use a quote…[Read more]

@jodi-maile

Thank you so much! 😀

@joelle-stone

Yes, it is! That is an excerpt from one of my favorite scenes in Shadows (or Falling, as it might soon be called). 😀

@writerlexi1216

Thank you so much, Lexi! (I have to agree; dragons are awesome! XD)

Oh boy… I don’t even know where to begin! The main theme of it is falling. It sounds odd, but by the end, that’s pretty much what has happened. The main character (who doesn’t appear in the excerpt… *facepalm*), Duxus Aledrick, falls due to his pride, a…[Read more]

@lewilliams

Aww, thank you so much, Elizabeth! I’m Lydia. It’s nice to meet you! 🙂

I’d love to talk about it! (It’s one of those things I could go on forever about🙂) What would you like to know?

Woah, your excerpt is really good! What kind of setting is your world in? It’s super interesting. 😀

@joelle-stone

No, I totally get it! I can’t come on on Wednesdays, so don’t worry about delayed answers. 😉

Yup, I sure do! You and Phoenix are the two I have listed. And anytime. <3

I know, isn’t that fun?! lol

@abigail-m

Agreed 🙂

@devastate-lasting

Thank you very much.

I think I’ll try Spy x Family and Way of the Househusband first (because favorite sounds good to me).

Big thank.

@epicaddie2

This has got to be one of the best threads on here XD

This has got to be one of the best comments on the forum

@devastate-lasting

Recommendations? I’ll take em’!

@joelle-stone
If I can help you at all with your blurb, I’d be glad to! I still have to come up with one of my own actually. It’s so hard to come up with a good one, especially when you have a complicated storyline…😛
