Depends on savings and income stream. Could be a nice thing though my guess would be that it would eventually end up on a shelf somewhere. Consider that for the same amount you get about 200 people to visit your opt-in page with the draw of a free book. Assuming the opt-in page is attractive, that might register into 100ish subscribers = worth…[Read more]

@hope Ooops! At least I didn’t tell you who it is. You are going to love Dreamlander.

Is there anyone on here who is an S instead of an N? I’m noticing a pattern there. Makes sense actually.

I finished it @writefury— lovely. *grins widely* That last line was perfect. 😉

Hahaha… guess what guys, I just found out that one of my villains is an ESTP…

… and so is an incredibly vain pygmy dragon who belongs to one of my MC’s (Arianwen, @writefury— from the ‘Inter-genre Island’ thread) as a pet.

Oh yes, Boromir, definitely. Both sacrificial and redemptive.

Come to think of it, Thorin’s death as well, @hope, though in the movie. The one in the book wasn’t all that impressive.
Thorin’s death was neither sacrificial nor redemptive, and so it was more bitter than, say, Sydney Carton’s death in A Tale of Two Cities, but it worked because he…[Read more]

The death of Boromir was one of my favorite chapters in TLOTR. I also just read Dreamlander recently and that book has perhaps the most heart-wrenching death I’ve ever read. It’s got to compete with ATOTC though, so it’s real close.

I’d say there are three main ways to do a tragic death:
1. The sacrificial death – where one character dies for…[Read more]

*huddles down and hides face in hands, whimpering and sobbing and clutching dark hair with long white fingers* I’m gonna cry.

I am so gonna cry.

*Cries dutifully, then realizes who you were referring to @writefury and starts bawling in earnest*

Yes. That death. Totally that death. It’s not just that he sacrificed his life, either— he sacrificed his reputation. See @hope, the MC had just been framed for a crime he didn’t commit and no one could prove he hadn’t committed it. So the MC’s…[Read more]

Hey, I like that. I would totally read that @writefury. Keep me on your list for potential beta readers— again, can’t promise anything because my schedule—correction: my LIFE is so unpredictable. But keep me on your list. 😀

Well, as for Quinn, the usual hardships for a slave— especially the ‘taking orders unconditionally’ bit, which will…[Read more]

1. Have you heard of/read/seen the Divergent series? They were OK books. In the last book, though, a character dies, and that’s probably the saddest death I’ve read in a book. I was literally bawling.
2. I think what made it so sad was that this character sacrificed her life so that her brother wouldn’t die. If the character dies for a noble…[Read more]

Welllll… the first thing that comes to mind is a little odd, and taking Finnian a bit further than you were perhaps planning. It would involve following two story lines at once, but it’s the first thing that came to mind so I’ll share it.

Quinn gets captured by the pirates and is forced into slavery or something, and Finnian tries to find him…[Read more]

Oh boy that made me laugh @writefury! Poor guy… 😀 😛 😉

apparently I’m ENTJ-A (whatever the A means). And what does EN mean? I was looking over the rest of the conversation, but all these initials are still making my head spin.

Ha, yes @hope me too. 😉 About the initials making my head spin, I mean. 😛

@hope That makes more sense for you than ENFP. As soon as I said that, I thought, “No, not that, but what?” A is assertive as opposed to “T” which is turbulent.

This test is so amazing… can’t believe I haven’t heard of it before.

I just figured out that the MC of my first publishable work (yeah, the one that is currently high on my ‘I need to rewrite this piece of junk’ list) is an INTJ.

I don’t know why that makes me so happy, but it does. 😀 😀 😀 😀 😛 😉

Well hey, that’s good to know @gretald! That’s how I am too— but I just wanted to make sure I didn’t offend anyone who maybe didn’t feel that way. 😉

*clears throat importantly, glares around with red pen poised quivering in clenched fingers* Next?

😉

@kate-flournoy, Ooo! I like it. By the way, you don’t have to ask about giving me feedback. Feedback helps me grow as a writer, and I’m always looking for people who are willing to give it. 🙂
