@catwing Good job with the improvements. 😀

I also liked @perfectfifths‘ improvements. I’ll go off those and add some adjustments myself.

Alex is not normal. She and her friends talk with animals. (No need to say they understand animals. That’s assumed if they talk with them.)

Then she and her friends meet a mysterious cloaked messenger, who…

@emily

How do you make it have that bar thing before something that you copy from another section?

Select the text and click the B-QUOTE button.

@catwing First of all, go get a copy of How To Write A Sizzling Synopsis. It’s a very good book.

That said, here are a few tips to get you started. I’m working off your most recent synopsis.

1. Yes, use as few names as possible. Say “main character and his five friends” or something like that.
2. When you say these people are not normal–even…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong By the way, it’s pretty easy to make ebook covers on Canva. I did that once.

@aislinn-mollisong If you want to design your own cover, I think Kate’s the only one who’s done that. You can also get pretty quality covers pretty cheap at fiverr. Ask Hope about that. I know she’s done it. And then there are also pro designers, some of which can be very expensive and some of which are pretty reasonable.

@kate-flournoy *headdesk*

@kate-flournoy Why?!?! You’re such a horrible person.

Actually, that sounds like it could be really good. Still evil, but good. 🙂 And that picture of the guy in the bottom right corner is perfect. I want to read about him now. 😀

@dragon-snapper Well, I always recommend knowing your end from the beginning. But, of course, we have to deal with the situation as it is.

I think this is the simplest way to approach the issue. What lessons do your characters learn in the first two books and what would it look like if that lesson had to be learned on a national scale? Once…[Read more]

It also has a nice distraction-free writing mode which can be helpful at times.

@emily-d @dragon-snapper I think Scrivner is great if you like to keep yourself organized. If throwing down a bullet point outline is organized enough for you, I don’t think you’ll need Scrivner. However, I know Scrivner has a lot of features and I don’t know about a lot of them. It was definitely designed just for writers. I do think Scrivner is…[Read more]

@bethanysinkyroses If you would like, you can tag as many people as you want in one post. From then on, if they want to make sure they are notified about new posts on the thread, they should subscribe to the thread.

@warrioroftherealm Simple boundary markers could work.

@kate-flournoy Wow. That’s pretty cool.

@xonos-darkgrate *stifles laughter* Okay, I guess we can wait for the movie to come out before we judge it.

@kate-flournoy I haven’t seen their names in a while. :/

And I must say, I like Finn’s outfit. The only thing in that trailer that I wasn’t sure about was that…penguin thing. I sincerely hope he isn’t one of those really stupid comic reliefs.

@kate-flournoy Yes! And you didn’t see Ray with Fin either. 😉 Fin was off with the rebellion, right where he belonged. *big happy smile* Good ‘ole Fin. That mechanic sounds just right for him.

Sorry, I was being dramatic there.

Let me put this in cool, rational terms. This is the best thing since The Count of Monte Cristo. 🙂

Ooooohh…

OOOHHH. OOOOOOOOH. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes! Yes! Yes! I could almost weep now. Let it be so!
