I didn’t know you could do that, @bluejay…I’ll have to keep that in mind. 😉
@julia-r If your photo is already online somewhere, like Pinterest, you can skip several steps and just click your picture then select and copy the link. Come back and push the little ‘img’ button and go from there like bluejay said.

@Overcomer Well, I finished and published Song of the Sword this summer, which was exciting. I also wrote up my third novella for Legends of Light…and now I’m scraping it and rewriting it this fall for reasons. And I’m almost finished editing my fantasy novel, Fidelyon!

Welcome @zcpeterson! What sort of things do you like to write? I enjoy fantasy and futuristic fiction…along with some retold fairy tales. 😉

@bluejay Ummm…how would a shell breaking on a wooden floor sound? Like an egg shell or a sea shell? I’d think maybe a high tinkling or cracking sound…

I’m twenty-two *glances to either side* and I think… *lowers voice* I think I’m one of the oldest writers on here…
My birthday is September 4th.

@anne-of-lothlorien Hey, I’m going to start it tomorrow. 😉 I’ve been…busy. Lots of stuff. Life. You know how it goes. I won’t have it by this Sunday, but I’m hoping to have it ready by the next time we’re at church. *crosses fingers*

@bluejay Well, I have written a Rapunzel retelling, and unpublished Sleeping Beauty retelling, and am currently working on a Hansel and Gretel retelling… As for other fairy tales, have you heard of Rooglewood? They have three books out now, each with five novellas in them focused around one story: Five Glass Slippers (Cinderella); Five Enchanted…[Read more]

@bluejay I just mentioned your name because there’s a character called the Bluejay in Inkspell (the second Inkheart book I just finished).
Also, no. The beast doesn’t have a name in most stories…I looked that up while writing Rose of Prophecy. The closest thing I could find was that he was sometimes called Adam somewhere. The name I gave him,…[Read more]

Hope Ann replied to the topic Story book world-HELP! in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 2 months ago
@bluejay So…like there’s a storybook world. Character run around and do what they want until they have to act out until someone reads the book then they have to act out their roles. But does this mean they have to act them out again and again and in any order? That could be interesting, though I’ve a feeling they would get bored with it very…[Read more]

@Kate-flournoy Oh look who has wifi! *runs off to type up email* *heads back* And yes, why should I care what people think? I care more about what someone says about my writing than what anyone says about me. 😉

I do like The Flamingly Sharp Sparkling Blade of Heralding Darkness. That’s right up there with – correct me if I get it wrong – Squishy the Invisible Nazi Killer from Quebec. 😀 😀 😀

@sarah-h I got into a year long debate with an evolutionist online once. I mainly had to deal with condescension and some rudeness, but nothing too bad…at least not for me since when it comes to things like that, I frankly don’t care what people think of me. It was quite an experience though.

Hope Ann replied to the topic Structure and Character Arcs in the forum Characters 8 years, 2 months ago
I don’t really know the names of structures. I don’t intentionally follow a structure, I just build up a story so it feels right with a beginning, middle, and end. Actually, there are two parts to the middle (or can be). The reactive stage, where the character is reacting with surroundings, then the proactive stage when the character starts to…[Read more]

@julia-r So you approve of shape-shifting? *wags eyebrows* Some readers don’t, but I’ve used it in one fantasy story so far. I’d love to do a dragon/person shapeshifter sometime, though that’s been done before in more than one place. My own shapeshifter was a bit…subtler. 😉
@Jess, well, everyone else has been asking plenty of valid questions,…[Read more]

Can you give it a comparison @hope?
Rather than just a high tinkling or cracking sound, but like the sound of glass or a branch?
*winces* *rubs forehead* Let’s see…
I’m assuming it’s not an egg, or else it would just give a mushy splat. (Though I may be wrong…tell me if I am.) The problem is I’ve never actually heard a shell breaking, but if I were to take a guess I might compare a shell breaking to brittle crunch, the shattering of thin glass, or the cracking of a stone…
@hope No, you’re not wrong. It is a sea shell. I feel as if I need to find one and experiment with it. 😉
It would have to be a pretty thin sea shell to break when dropped on a wood floor. I have small ones and they’re pretty tough, though if it were stepped on… But a large one wouldn’t be stepped on, and if it’s large then it’s probably thick so if it broke, it might just break in half…?
