@supermonkey42 I don’t think it would be too confusing as long as the MC doesn’t know what other characters are thinking because…that would be creepy.

@ethryndal Just thought I should add that How To Write A Sizzling Synopsis is a helpful book for writing a synopsis. You’ve probably heard me say that before, but what can I say.

@silverclaw-bonnetfolly Right here.

@lady-iliara Mmm… 😉

@supermonkey42 Thanks. I thought it had a cool classical ring to it. 😀

@ingridrd Oooh, ice cream. This is the best book launch ever. 🙂

@Ethryndal definitely better. I love it just how it is, but as Daeus mentioned, you might cut out the first bit about her step-sister without any damage and probably with benefits.

@ethryndal Like normal, I love the voice you use.

You might keep a long version like this for use on your blog, but if you’re going to use this on a sales page or book cover, yeah, it needs to be short.

You can probably make the point about her being heroine material shorter and cut out the part about her step-sister

@sam-kowal I can see how it must be fun to have Stan as a dragon. 😉

@Ethryndal your sneaking suspicion is absolutely correct, but otherwise this is absolutely brilliant.

Seriously, and I almost forgave it for being too long because all of it was awesome. So yeah. It’s good. *vigorous nodding*

Um…sorry, Stan. You can’t eat him. 😛

@Daeus I already said this, but congratulations. 😉

Violators will be required to read The Count Of Monte Cristo.

Not watching something is not a crime. Only not eating ice cream.

@waterlily This is a tough question, but I’ll try to be as helpful as I can.

Obviously, you want to write the best story possible, and if first person works better for you, that’s a good sign first person might be the best choice.

However, I would offer some balancing points. Sometimes writing in a tough POV can be incredibly helpful. I…[Read more]

@Dragongeek good point… 😛 Just try to find a power that actually fits with the story for a reason. Don’t just go for super-speed or super-strength ‘because’. Think through what would best fit.

What era/type of names are you looking for?

@0-0enyali0-0 @dekreel‘s advice is very solid. Maybe if you have a fight scene that isn’t too long you could post it here for critique.

@Daeus I like that… not as much as Excelsior though.

Ugh. Decisions decisions.

You know what? I’m going to just throw caution to the winds and say go with Excelsior. I can’t think of anything I like better or even as well as. If you can think of a tagline of sorts to go with it though, so it’s more clear what it means and what it’s for, that…[Read more]
