@bethanysinkyroses I would think a simple business card type of design would work very well. It can have our name, tagline, and website on one side. On the other, it might have the list of things we provide, such as forum/community, courses, articles, contests, etc. What might be really cool is if there were a place on the design for people to…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper I generally edit the book and start the next one at the same time. I like to have several projects going for that reason. I can brainstorm one, write a second, and edit a third. Of course, it doesn’t always work out that way. I’m rewriting two books right now, but as a general rule it works well for me. 😉

@northerner It depends. I might. 😉

@Northerner I’m considering entering… I just need to get an idea. 😉 It mainly depends on time, but seeing it is the last one and ‘only’ 20,000 words, I’ll probably think of something.

@dragon-snapper I’ve heard about it. Is there a trailer yet? I have mixed feelings about the books, but I want to see the movie if they do it well.

@winter-rose Yes, but losing a hand… Reading such book is not doing my own characters any favors. XD

One thing I found interesting about this series is that they are almost more biographical (which is kind of the point, I think). The plot didn’t seem as orderly and structured as most novels would be, rather it was a life; a string of events. I…[Read more]

@winter-rose *is here for you* I’ve read them! Love the series. The first book… yes. Murderous would be a good way to describe it. I was stunned when Parvin actually lost her hand. And it didn’t surprise me when Jude died, but still… *sniffs* He was such a great character. One of my favorite things about this series was how human Parvin was. I…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper I love chapter titles; ones that grab my attention without telling me what will happen. Or funny ones. The chapter titles in Percy Jackson, for example… I love just looking thought the table of contents because they’re so hilarious.

@Northerner Yes, Kingdom Pen is wonderful. I don’t know where I’d be without the things I’ve learned and the people I’ve met here.

Love it!!!!!!!

@emily-d I did NaNoWriMo for the first time last year, though I’d done some camps before that. It’s a great way to get a lot done on a single project and it’s fun to be working with others with similar goals. The one major tip I would give is to figure out beforehand how much you need to do each day to get done in the month. That way you can work…[Read more]

@His-Instrument I like the book the best. I never really cared for the Charlton Heston Ben-Hur, though I did like the newer version. The ending I felt was a bit rushed, but I did like the changes they made, especially with the Judah/Messala storyline.

@anne-of-lothlorien I really like the present tense in this. *waits for random answer*

@ethryndal *chokes* That… that is hysterical. I can’t believe how much the face looks like him while also looking so… off. XD And that frog. I get the impression that ‘The Wiser’ is somewhat indulgent while his frog keeps everyone in line when he isn’t looking.

Ok… so I’ve not read it yet because I’m at a creation conference. I might get to it later on. But… I wanted to share this. XD

@that_writer_girl_99 I started one to start getting a presence, so to say. I post about my works in progress, writing tips, writing humor, updates… it is fun.

@graciegirl Glad I could help. Villains can be so much fun, once they fall in place.

@graciegirl One thing to remember is that characters (and people) aren’t always logical. From an outside perspective, one can stand back and shake their head at a character and wonder what they are thinking and why they don’t just get it. But inside the character’s head is another matter. Emotions and beliefs twist together and they will sometimes…[Read more]

@graciegirl Some of the most interesting villains (and the most dangerous) are the ones who honestly believe what they are doing is right and they are willing to sacrifice for their convictions. A villain who is off for revenge is all very well. A villain who is fighting for something he loves will be even more dedicated. Plus it is heartbreaking…[Read more]
