This is such a good idea, @scripter-of-kingdoms

I also wrote a blog post with prayers for writers, if you all are interested: here’s the link.

@e-k-seaver You might not be able to make money with Traditional publishing either. There is no guarantee.

They give you an advance, yes, but you have to give that back if you don’t sell enough copies. Plus, you make SUCH a smaller percentage of every book that is sold.

On top of that, Traditional publishers just don’t promote books like they…[Read more]

@joy-caroline This forum hates links…*sigh*

My favorite cover of a cover from TPOE is this one nightcore cover of Jonathan’s cover of “Playing With the Big Boys”…if you’re into nightcore or something I’d highly encourage you to look it up! Just with those keywords. I love it to death.

@hallie-jean Eyyy welcome to the chat! I, too, love spouting some sort of literary nonsense about my WIPs as well! But like an NPC, if you do not talk to me first, I will not say anything.

Sooooo….anything interesting in your world of WIPs lately? What have you been working on?

@joy-caroline I use the word “lit” constantly, don’t worry. The soundtrack in itself is amazing! I actually don’t remember if I watched it as a kid, but I did have a picture book based off of the movie so that’s probably the most I knew of it…but I (re)watched it last year for memory refresher. I love the soundtrack! Have you listened to…[Read more]

@joy-caroline The Prince of Egypt! I love love love that movie!

And here is one for my Aries, an assassin girl…

A little plain, but, yeah…

@joy-caroline @hallie-jean Ah thank you! Now if only I have the time…*pained smile*

Yes! Directing a movie! Ahh….being an author actually might make even more than being a movie director… *distant sobbing*

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin Ahh much mood! Very big mood. Tell me what you think, if any of them compel you to read further!

@gracie-j Ahhh I love them both! They look really amazing! Ah, one thing I would change is that it will be a novella, not quite a novel length…

@joy-caroline Ah thank you! I need a lot more practice…maybe one day when I’m taking a break from writing…

@hallie-jean Ahh I get you! Yeah, there are so many things that I’d love to write one day! I want to write enough to publish online, make soundtracks in the future, try to sign a deal with a site…I’m looking forward to all of it!

@hallie-jean Ahh I’m getting into using the computer more often. Hits different. I think I write better on PC, but I also get more distracted. I’d encourage you to try it out sometime!

What do you think that you would want to do with your writing in the future? Like what are some dreams you’d like to do with your writing?

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin Nice, nice! Well, if you’re planning on reading Sweet Home, then I strongly recommend Bastard (I swear I’m not using this as a bad word it’s the story name) by the same author! Both of these are praised as some of the best thriller/horror webtoons! I read like 10 chapters of Bastard before I dropped it (because my…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdoms

sorry its taken me so long to get back to you! If you’re still interested, I have two characters you could do.

Mere is the main character from my current WIP. It’s a pirate type adventure book, and Mere is white (with a huge amount of freckles), seventeen, and has very long, very curly auburn/ginger hair. She’s a very…[Read more]

@mkfairygirl AHH thank you! Long titles unite!

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin Oo ok. Nice! I’ve heard both good and bad things about the Netflix adaption, haha. What genres are you into?

@hallie-jean *pained smile* Yep! Don’t know if it can be counted as finished though, just first drafts, all the way…I’ve yet to finish a book on the computer, though. I tend to handwrite more.

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin Sweet Home! I read like 20 episodes of it before I was scared stiff and dropped it.

What other Webtoons do you read?

@hallie-jean Oo, that’s sounds cool! Good luck!

There are different types of books! Novels, novellas, all are different lengths! And word counts depend on genres too! I would say that personally, a novella is probably around 30k to 50k, while a novel is maybe 60k and above. You can also find out more by searching it up!
