Les Miserables. 😀

Theme: justice and mercy.
Focusing question: which one triumphs?
Message: it’s justice that makes mercy necessary.

Hmm… those are slightly different than the format of the others you shared… and now my brain is tickling… I wonder…
Oh yes. This was that idea— I’ve thought about this some already. 😛 It seems to me…[Read more]

@Daeus… LGK? ‘Little Green Kate’??? *hysterical chuckling* I like that. :”D

Excellent font choice, by the way. 😉

@Leumeister I love the title, though it might be a little too metallic to show up well against your background, and as far as I can tell with your experimental models, the actual cover looks like it’ll be well laid out. It does seem a bit too dark though, and besides that maybe a little uniform. There’s nothing really eye-catching about the cover…[Read more]

@Daeus I like it. A lot. I would tend to agree that the silver subtitle does look best.

Oops @Ethryndal *ducks head* But I thought it was good she even had an idea, considering she’d had writer’s block for a long time?

And that’s true what you said about forcing names. I’ve never done that, but I’ve had to change names before, and let me tell you it was not fun. I referred to her as Lily for months after I changed it, just cuz it…[Read more]

@S-G-Dewey hm, I’m best with wayyyy older names, but I shall see what I can think of… Francis. William. Laurence. Alexander. Oliver. Douglas. Richard. Martin. George.
I’ll let you know if I think of anything else…

And congratulations on defeating your writer’s block! *cheers*

Same here. For me, life IS the story, and since life without Christ is not complete, it stands to reason a story without Christ is not complete either. So it’s a matter of learning to see reality through the correct lens and put it down just as it is— death, life, despair, hope, sin, God, and everything! 😀

And I’m currently feeling like all my…[Read more]

@Daeus I’m late, but the gold title definitely works better.

@Daeus *groans* Tell me about it. 😛

if you have a 150,000 word novel, you should split it up into three 50,000 word novels

*stares at quote*
*turns bright green*
*screams*
Yah, we’re just gonna pretend we didn’t see that. 😛

I actually don’t know all that much about trilogies, not having dealt with one myself, but the one piece of advice that’s coming to mind is make the middle…[Read more]

@zoe-wingfeather thanks for the info. 🙂 Looks like she does some pretty cool stuff.

@Aratrea well… I like poetry. *grins*

@Daeus hmmm… I like the silver… at any rate the gradient gives the words a bit more of a mysterious look. I’m not sure it’s such a great idea to have both gold and silver words in the same place, unless you were gonna make the title gold and the subtitle silver, because gold is so much more vibrant it’s very distracting. If you’re going to…[Read more]

@S-G-Dewey
Well, I’m late. But welcome all the same! Great to have you on board. 🙂
Fourteen siblings?! Wow. Four siblings seems like a lot to me; I can’t even imagine having that many. 😉 But, yes, I know what you mean about siblings being fun and annoying… 😛
Yup, I’m a Narnia and Middle Earth nerd, too. I think a lot of people here are.…[Read more]

@Daeus
This. Sounds. So. Cool. I will need to check with my mom (she’s the master planner, after all), but I really hope I can come!!!

@aratrea @daeus
Wow, this is SO cool! You KP staffers are pretty creative. 😉 Unfortunately, with school and everything, I don’t think I’ll be able to participate in the beta-reading portion of the process. I’m so bummed, though, because it sounds like an amazing opportunity! However, I’m the type of person who wants to say “yes” to…[Read more]

@Aratrea a deeper understanding of the pieces of the puzzle and the way they work together. 😉

@Jess wow… you speed-writers. 😛

@Daeus okey dokey! I got 499— not as bad as I was expecting. @Jess, I think I’m going to go ahead and stop now too. What did you get?
