@hope Anything helps. God bless.
But actually, that point that individual book plot points may sometimes line up with the overall plot points is very helpful.@kate-flournoy 😀 You haven’t gone green in a while. And it’s funny because I can’t think of anything you might have read that would have caused it. It feels like I did, but now I don’t…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy That’s what I’m thinking. Say, do you think it might look better if the subtitle were gold too?

Thanks, y’all. I’m thinking for my story I’m gonna have to write it mainly as one long story arc, but give each book a feeling of semi-completion.
@kate-flournoy @hope You two have thoughts on this, don’t you?

@audrey-caylin That’s great! I’m so glad you’re finding it helpful. 🙂 If you ever have any questions about applying the lessons to your novel, we’ll be around.

@northerner Absolutely. Just to clarify, you are talking about building an audience for your books, right? I thought possibly you might be asking about branding — like presenting a consistent impression of yourself in everything you do, which is kinda related, but much more of a specific topic.

@kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy @anyone-else Ok, here’s with all silver and here’s with a gold title. I’m feeling like I liked it better with the silver title and gold subtitle, but I don’t think that was quite right either. Thoughts?

@sleepwalkingmk Yes, there will be a recording.

Thanks @mark-kamibaya @jess @winter-rose I have read Katie’s article, by the way. That’s what made me decide to study this further.
So, I guess I should provide some further information. This trilogy will be pretty LOTResque. I mean, it’s epic fantasy with a lot of travel and a basically comparable story goal. Actually, I know LOTR was originally…[Read more]

@sarah-h Um, about whenever my mom finishes her second edit + a week or two. 😉

Howdy folks,
As you may have heard, I got this weird idea into my head to write a fantasy novel. Now, as it turns out, I’m actually getting super excited about it and expect it will end up longer than my other books. Well, lucky me, I ended up hearing someone say that if you have a 150,000 word novel, you should split it up into three 50,000 word…[Read more]

@ethryndal So, Josiah will have the official answer on this, but I can’t see how it could possibly be any other way unless we deleted your account (which would be against our lifetime access policy)

@dragon-snapper Ah, I get ya. Yep, that’s exactly what this course should teach you.

Daeus replied to the topic Discussion for Video One: Introduction in the forum Discussion Questions 9 years, 3 months ago
@dragon-snapper Let me just clarify: Are you saying that whenever you tried to share a message in your story, it either seemed too simple and therefore cheesy or too pushy and therefore cheesy? Or am I misunderstanding?

Daeus replied to the topic HUGE Announcement! in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 3 months ago
@anna-brie You could view it with your brother. That’s standard practice, like buying a movie and watching it with your family. I’m guessing sharing it outside your family would be a copyright violation, but of course that’s not what you’re talking about here.

@sarah-h Enlightenment age, actually. I know what you mean though. He’s not quite perfect for his era, but his outfit actually is fairly authentic. The big thing about the image is that it fits the character really well.

@kate-flournoy @anyone-else
I thought perhaps the silver might be better with a slight gleam, so this is what that looks like. I feel like I liked it better before. One option which might work, but I don’t feel is right would be to make the subtitle silver too. Perhaps I could make the title the current gold and the subtitle the current silver.…[Read more]
