Daeus replied to the topic Why Paolini works (or doesn't) in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 6 months ago
I don’t like Roran. I thought I would at first, but then when he actually became a MC, I was like, “blah”. He, Sloan, and Katrina are the worst characters in my opinion. And Brom was terrible to begin with, but after a few chapters I started to like him.
That cripple rider, Orimis I think his name is, is probably my favorite character so…[Read more]

Alright @emma-flournoy, I’ll have my eyes peeled for this mystery person.
Right now I was thinking either Sloan or Katrina for my favorite.

Daeus started the topic Why Paolini works (or doesn't) in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 6 months ago
I got curious recently and decided to read the inheritance cycle since a friend of mine said they were his favorite books.
Paolini’s interesting.
In some ways, he seems amateur. I wonder what type of editor he had to let some of his bad style slip past (I’m very cynical about editors). At the same time, though, not only do I want to finish the…[Read more]

Hee hee. I’ll have to put an explanation on how to pronounce my name on my profile 😉

No, serious. We think it’s people going to get your tag. Can’t be sure though.

Ahhh. Yes. You’re right, that’s probably it. Wow, my weird name has made me soooo popular… 😀

The world would be so dull without unpronounceable names, wouldn’t it? 😛

@kate-flournoy thought you would find this fun. Josiah just mentioned your profile is the third most visited page on all of KP.

@Daeus WHAT??? O.O Tell me you’re kidding. *faints*
Probably trying to get an up-close look at my profile pic and figure out what it actually is… XD-

Daeus replied to the topic The Mind of a Writer in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 6 months ago
@emma-flournoy I’m a little that way, but not to such a degree. I guess just remember (with writing) it will probably be at least a month before they figure out you didn’t take their advice, and then you probably will have forgotten about the whole thing by then and they may have too.
And then too, just… just… you gotta do that stuff. Put on…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy I think that’s right. Think of it like “dance” only without the “n” and with a stronger s sound and a bit of us before the s.
Speaking of which, I realized that the u is simply pronounced quickly if my name is spoken slowly. It is when you refer to me casually that the u becomes barely pronounced.
@hope Not that then. It’s like…[Read more]

Hi Julia,
Five novels sounds like a lot. If you’re having trouble writing, you should probably shave it down to just one. Maybe you really really prefer jumping back and forth in-between novels, but, in that case, I would still only do two. Hopefully then you’ll be able to remember where you last where.
Your best motivation (and reminder) will…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic British beta-readers?? in the forum Novel Critique Requests 9 years, 6 months ago
Oh, my. I’m so sorry I can’t help you, but I know the situation. My WIP’s two main characters are from England and the story is in the future (though only for the first chapter before they get taken back to the 1300s).

Daeus replied to the topic The Mind of a Writer in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 6 months ago
@emma-flournoy I think Daa-us is right, though I’m not positive since you could pronounce it different ways, but my first guess of what you meant lines up with the correct pronunciation.

Daeus replied to the topic Panel Discussions in the forum Questions and Support 9 years, 6 months ago
That’s another thing (thanks Sarah). We want to let you ask whatever you want, but we might still have a theme for each one. Anyone have any thoughts on that? What about having a prepared section as well?

Daeus replied to the topic The Mind of a Writer in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 6 months ago
@kate-flournoy Well, that’s the closest wrong one. And anyways, I don’t think there is an official pronunciation. I’ve never even asked my parents how to pronounce it, I just realized one day that I didn’t always pronounce my own name the same way, so I decided on what sounded best to me. Even my on family will pronounce it both ways, though I…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Do you mean you’d rarely attend or rarely ask questions? One of the ideas here is that you can glean from the question others ask, or at least it could lead to a new idea.
