Hi, @dragon-watcher. Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!

By the way, your name sounds a lot like another girl’s on here: @dragon-snapper. I think she’s 14 too.

Why don’t you tell us what you’re writing now?

@kate-flournoy You can have it actually. Not wanting to be a hero is something I’d have a hard time fully understanding. It would be tough for me to write.

@kate-flournoy Hmm. I’ll think more about that last one. I like all of them, but that one seems like it might fit well with a short story.

@salome01w4g Yeah, EB is similar to TCOMC in a lot of ways, though the overall story is definitely different.

@salome01w4g Yes, it breaks every rule I teach. 😛 Thankfully, my novel Edwin Brook is a lot better. I’m still learning to master the things I teach though. Mastery doesn’t come easy.

I’m actually planning a short story to replace Treachery right now. I figured Treachery would take too long to fix and I needed something else to offer as a free…[Read more]

If I do write one (which I may not), the plan is to make it about Destin going on a quest to find Sir Aldren.

@salome01w4g Ah, a sequel. You know, I may someday actually write one. The thing is, I’d first have to do a major rehaul of TATHOF. I like the story, but I just read two chapters of it, and my writing style is way under my current standard.

Wise choice, cadet @dragon-snapper. For your sagacity, I hereby knight you to be a knight in full knightlyhood.

Fyi, I’ll be writing all throughout the afternoon, but I’ll be taking random breaks.

@catwing @dragon-snapper @daughteroftheking I’m going to be editing.

@catwing @dragon-snapper @daugheroftheking I’m going to be editing.

@salome01w4g Well…it was a mostly happy ending. Except for what it took to get there. And except for Sir Aldren.

🙂 🙂 🙂

@katherine I would say that is fine. Getting feedback is part of the writing process, so as long as they (obviously) aren’t changing it themselves and are just giving you their thoughts, then yes. That is fine. 🙂

@aislinn-mollisong Alright, I read the prologue and chapter one. Josiah basically covered everything already. I’ll just see if I can go into a few more details.

First of all, the secret ingredient really is slowing down. I’m going to be more extreme than Josiah here. I would say slow things down four times what it is now, maybe even more for the…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollislong Yes, that would be fine.

@aislinn-mollisong Well, I can’t read through your whole book unfortunately, but if you could give me a sample scene, I could read through that and see if I can identify the problem.

@Aislinn-Mollisong Yeah, what Jane said. I’ll just clarify that an agent is someone who represents you to different publishing houses. So instead of you convincing a publisher to publish your book, you convince an agent and he convinces the publisher. Generally speaking, having an agent makes you more likely to get accepted by a publisher. My…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong I’m self-published and know a bit about traditional publishing. Do you have any specific questions?
