@CK4Always Yep, that’s how it should be.

@CK4Always I’m not completely sure I understand what you’re asking, but what you described sounds about right. If you paste the link in an email or thread or something, everyone you send the email to will have access to the Google Doc.

Well that was stunning… I feel slightly dazed. This is something I’ve struggled with for a while—the deep places of my soul that need understanding, but no one can understand. Turning to fictional characters in fictional worlds to keep me company, because there’s no one else.
Thanks for this, @Christi-Eaton. It was monumentally encouraging and…[Read more]

@winter-Rose Yay! So glad it’s going well so far. Don’t get flushed down the toilet or anything—the Realm of Pen needs you. 🙂

@emma-flournoy @kate-flournoy @his-instrument What about this?

When fate seeks to destroy you, where can you turn?

Matthew has sworn to avenge a murder…

@emerald-flyer Makes sense. Wayne Thomas Batson’s Dark Sea Annals are probably my favorite works of Christian fantasy and he’s currently re-releasing them this month, so if you’re looking for new books in the genre, that would be my recommendation. 😉

@perfectfifths Cool; to expand that a bit, putting otherwise-unsympathetic characters in sympathetic relationships can be really crucial for building empathy between the characters and the audience. If a sympathetic character likes an otherwise-unsympathetic person, it’s easier for the audience to like that person as well, which sounds like what…[Read more]

@Emerald-Flyer WELCOME WELCOME. *hands you pizza* I’m Jane. 😀 *shakes your hand enthusiastically*
(by the way, I love your username)

@jessi-rae Neat; how far into the story are you?

@emma-flournoy Sold? Not very many. When it was free though, I got something like 2,000 downloads. I haven’t been promoting it really. That’s why I’m trying to revive this ad thing. I actually have time for it almost. 😉

@perfectfifths Ah; I see. Yeah, I would probably fit it into the positive arc then. Here’s a question to consider that you may find helpful: if you were going to go through and revise Sutcliffe’s book, how would you change the story/the protagonist’s character arc to make the story more enjoyable to you? I find that when I do this with books I…[Read more]

@Emerald-Flyer Welcome to the site! You’ll find a lot of fellow fantasy writers here. 🙂 who are your favorite authors?

@emerald-flyer Cool dragon. 🙂 May I assume you write fantasy?

@kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy Got it. I’ll try to come up with something better tomorrow.

@his-instrument I think attracting classical lovers is worth losing non classical lovers.

@his-instrument Thank. Those are great suggestions.

I do, though, need to have that one liner right at the beginning. The idea is that people have a three-second attention span. They won’t read the whole synopsis unless their attention is instantly piqued. Let me see if I can make the wording work.

A story of action, adventure, and justice,…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Yes, that’s certainly possible. When I read the new first line along with my old synopsis however, it didn’t seem to flow well. Perhaps that’s just me though. The reason I redid the general synopsis was because I wanted the first line of that paragraph to fit with the first line above it. Things kept changing from there.
