Well, big thoughts is mainly that you should take out the last paragraph, because although you’re trying to appeal with struggles like that, people might not want to think of themselves as weak or cowardly, if you know what I mean. Maybe they know that subconsciously, but who wants to admit that they are a coward? I mean, a Christian might…[Read more]

@jess-penrose We call them both.

@josiahdeboer You don’t need to have read the book. Just tell me your gut feelings. Most people, after all, do read a synopsis before they read the book.

@everybody Thanks for the feedback! I suppose I’ll tweak some of the wording then get back to you.

@dragon-snapper Both, of course. 🙂

@xonos-darkgrate There are some plot twists, yes, but the story doesn’t stand on its unusual premise. It stands much more on its psychological depth. And, certainly! Go ahead and reword it.

@emily Anything…[Read more]

@jess-penrose XD Yeah, that’s my thoughts. 😀 You might have noticed I have very strong opinions on these things. 😛

@rolena-hatfield I love your blog! Your Attic looks so nice!

@kate-flournoy He forgot to tag me too. Can we take over the kingdom now? How bout now? Now?
@daeus Well…do you want my big thoughts or little thoughts?

@ingridrd I like your character’s name. 🙂 Do you have a title for your WIP?

@aratrea XD Perfect.

@koryn-koch Yeah my siblings are still in it. I won’t judge this year but maybe later…

@shannon Ok, got it

@koryn-koch there are only 10 regions, so if your region did average they would get at least 2 spots in the top 2 in each category, so… ;P
@aratrea Wow, way to pull the curtain away, also why fo you guys have forum guidelines? Are you guys trying to take my first amendment away from me, what’s next, the second 😉

@salome01w4g Yeah I’m joking, I…[Read more]

@xonos-darkgrate I’m sure it would. It would be cool to give a bad guy a subplot too.

@xonos-darkgrate By sub-plots, I basically mean adding in side characters with their own intertwining stories. I also mean how the main events John Huss experiences affect the many different areas of his life. For instance, you could build a subplot around a book he is writing, or a friendship he has with a small child, or a theological dilemma…[Read more]

@xonos-darkgrate That sounds like a great idea. You might want to read the book Trial And Triumph. It’s a novel about John Huss, and I really liked it. I would also highly recommend you read Rora. It’s a real-life story of a Waldensian resistance fighter with added details to bring it to life. It might give you some ideas, especially on how to…[Read more]

@raevynstar He sounds good to me. 😀 The one thing I would point out is that sometimes writers will make these types of characters mopey. It’s fine for characters to be sorrowful and introspective, but they must have a strong goal they are pursuing at the same time, or it will be hard to root for them.

@dragon-snapper That’s right. You got it.

@xonos-darkgrate Welcome to the dark side, Xonos. We have ice cream.

XD

Well, you might’ve guess that this isn’t the dark side. We have too many elves and unicorns for that. But anyway, welcome! Glad to have you!

Cool name, BTW.
