I know, right? I hated revising at first, but now it’s a lot harder to move into a new book instead of constantly polishing what I already have.

Also, I totally get the thing about the scariness of caring about publication. I have a feeling Yanet part of what may be holding me back at the moment, so maybe I should just enjoy w…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I’m actually struggling quite a bit right now, though I definitely don’t want to give up. I’m sorta having trouble reigniting my passion for free-writing after a very long editing sesh on my first book. I want to rewrite my second one, and I’m getting stuck even in the outline — I just want it to be so good. I know it could be…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

You should totally do it! It takes a lot of work, but it’s really cool when you start to see your scenes and characters come to life on screen, moving! I actually have done a bit of animation and storyboarding for an anime op for my book, actually. I’ll see if I can link it here:

Um — so I figured out it wasn’t working. However…[Read more]

@issawriter7

Yes! Shadow Throne is my favourite, too, I think! Jaron’s tactics in it are just so good, and the ending was just so satisfying, and there were times where I wasn’t sure how he was gonna get out of those situations, but he did. And I really wanted him to be with Imogen at the end somehow, and he was — although I kinda could…[Read more]

@jodi-maile

I love the Boiling Rock episodes! They’re some of my favourite — the bromance between Zuko and Sokka is just so good!😁

@elanor

Just an idea, feel free to toss it away — what if when Zyla escapes she’s crying after this argument with Kedja, and as she gets to the perimeter, she hears Kedja’s screams? This could be a way to hit home…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I think my shortest time to write a novel was the first novel I ever wrote, a fan fic which I’m pretty sure took me under a year.

My longest has been my current project The Prince of WalfKlau (working title), in which it took me roughly 2 years to write the first and second book, back to back, another whole year to revise the e…[Read more]

@sparrowhawke

I really enjoy the Royal Tutor series. It’s kinda an alternate history manga series in which the kingdom, Granzireich, is based on the Austro-Hungarian empire, somewhere in the 1800’s. It’s about how Heine, the new Royal Tutor, has to teach the four youngest princes to be candidates to the throne. It’s a really fun series and one…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

You said that so much better than me, lol😂

@faith-q

I agree with what @elfwing said about respecting the government, but always putting God’s commands first. As far as I understand it (which admittedly may not be much) we are to obey and respect our leaders, but we are not to obey anything which goes against the Bible or what God decrees. Think about the early Christians — they res…[Read more]

@faith-q So this is personal thoughts, as well as stuff drawn from advice from my awesome dad who’s super good at explaining these things XD I can’t promise my version will be very coherent as I’m exhausted, but here goes XD

Paul said to respect the authority.

Respect and obey are two very, very different things.

The believers were instructed…[Read more]

@koshka

Well, if you ever need a beta reader, critique, or anything else in the future, I am always available if you ever want. I hadn’t been critiquing or reading for awhile (very busy) but I’m happy to say that I can once again critique or you know, just give general thoughts or point out flaws and strengths that I see. But that is of cou…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

You’re hilarious XD (100% better than a comedian)  That’s devastating…

Hmm, I guess everyone may or will have different advice for you here, but I’d say the best way to keeping writing and hold onto those protein shakes, is to club your keyboard.

I mean force stuff out of your keys on spare minutes and write fi…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Like, violence, adult/inappropriate stuff, swearing, etc.

@devastate-lasting

You watch Assassination Classroom? Lol. My brother’s super into that. He says it’s quite inappropriate in humour, though, so I haven’t watched it yet. The next one I’m thinking of watching is Dr. Stone. You ever read or watched that one?

Also, I meant to ask, what’s the content like in Code Geass and Steins;Gate?

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

I understand how you feel about the first book in terms of its plot, but I have to say I always found it quite funny. The three introductions made me laugh out loud, just his whole whimsical writing style in general, and his deliberate use of redundancy. (Gnag the Nameless, the Dark Sea of Darkness, etc)

I also…[Read more]

@daisy-torres

I’m not sure if this counts, but The Keeper of the Lost Cities series has some modern stuff tied in, because the main character was raised in our world. Even if it doesn’t count, it’s one of the best fantasies I’ve read since Harry Potter and Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive.

(It probably doesn’t count. But it’s a great series and I’…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

Yes, Violet Evergarden is amazing! It goes quite deep into war trauma and what it would be like if the only thing you’d ever known was the military, and how to learn how to be a feeling, caring human again after only thinking you were a tool. It’s heartbreaking. Made me cry in several places. Has a great sou…[Read more]

@issawriter7

Okay, I’m gonna use the contact form. And I will identify myself as Tráhia the Minstrel in it, so you know who I am😉

@issawriter7

I just read the Story Peddler by an Enclave author. They let you have it for free if you sign up to their site.😁 I would probably try to get an agent first — and I think I’ve found one that will hopefully work if I can ever get my project up to scratch (and trimmed in word count. The biggest Enclave will take is 140k from a deb…[Read more]

@issawriter7

Cool! I mean, I’m a fast reader, but I have all these other books I’m trying to read at the moment, so I think I’ll wait until your novelette opens up for betas😊.

Have you heard of Enclave? It’s a smaller publishing house that is purely about Christian fantasy and sci-fi. You can submit to them without an agent too, if you want to…[Read more]
