Josiah DeGraaf started the topic Beta Students Needed for Mini Course in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
Hey folks,
Looking for 5 or so beta students for a new mini course I’m creating on suspense. The course looks at how successful professional authors create suspense and explains how to create a suspense on a story level, on a chapter level, and on a paragraph level to keep readers turning the pages of your book.
All the lessons are written up;…[Read more]

@dekreel what Jane said 😛 Last I checked, it’s $40 for Windows. I had a discount from NaNoWriMo, so it was only half that. It’s worth every penny, especially if you like to organize things 😀

Well hello there! It’s nice to meet you @christianna-hellwig
Admittedly, I haven’t much advice to give, because I haven’t “done much”, as you put it in your post. I’m eighteen, but I’m still learning how to do things like finish a draft, create characters, create (and write) a solid theme. I like learning. Makes places like KP all the more…[Read more]

But if you just want to write for fun, you can basically do whatever you want :). And whether you intend to build an audience or not, the best tone to use is yours. Don’t try to be anyone else, like DG said.
I can’t even begin to tell you how important this is @catwing! Don’t forget it. 😉

Elizabeth replied to the topic What's the best book you've read recently? in the forum Book Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
I can’t stop thinking about this book I read a few weeks ago.
<i>Scythe, </i>by Neal Shusterman. I’m not gonna give any spoilers plot-wise, but suffice it to say that this book has amazing worldbuilding, the character development is really well done, and the overall concept of the book isn’t at all what I expected it to be–it’s better.

Yep, Slytherin and proud. 😉
Okay, so it sounds like you’ve got all your plot events in order, but what I haven’t heard you mention are the characters. What motivates the characters to go through with this? What are they trying to learn? Have you thought about that at all?

Jane Maree replied to the topic Book Recommendations in the forum Book Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
Dekreel Recommendations on their way. 😛
Steampunk
– The Rithmatist (Brandon Sanderson)
– Storming (K. M. Weiland)Both excellent books, and really really good.
Sci Fi
(a very broad genre so it depends exactly what you’re looking for?)–Â Insignia (S.J. Kincaid) (not the most amazing book, in my opinion, but okay)
– The Lunar Chronicles…[Read more] -

@Dekreel if you participate in NaNoWriMo (or camp NaNoWriMo) and win you actually get a 50% off coupon or something like that. 😛

Elizabeth replied to the topic Norse Mythology Short Story in the forum Short Story Critiques 8 years, 2 months ago
I understood most of the synopsis, but the last half of it was a bit choppy, could you explain it in a bit more detail?
I love your profile picture, by the way–though the Slytherin house symbol would look much better. 😉 @warrenluther04
