@ingridrd It sounds like a good story! The one thing I’d recommend is cutting. 😉

It doesn’t need to sound like this, but this is to get your gears turning and point out what I think isn’t necessary. Remember, the point of a synopsis is not to explain a story, it is to sell the story. Information is only important when it is necessary. The only…[Read more]

@supermonkey42 I actually just beta read a novel where it was like this: the MC’s scenes in first person, and then other scenes in 3rd person. It rolled along fine and was very intriguing. So long as the reader knows who’s who, I’d say go for it 🙂

@ingridrd that’s great! I definitely want to read this one day 😀

Thanks, @lady-iliara 😀

@ingridrd Writing a synopsis is super tricky. Yours does an excellent job of hooking the reader–I’m really interested in your story now! 😀

I like the first sentence a lot. The next paragraph gets a little confusing. Are all the things listed there what is already upside down about Jaclyn’s life, or what just turned upside down? I think if…[Read more]

@perfectfifths Thanks! It was a lot of crazy writing. 😛

@daughteroftheking *salutes back* I’m also slightly insane… XD

Hey, @rachelle! Haven’t seen you around in a long time.

@winter-rose Thanks. 😀

@supermonkey42

I hope you don’t mind free publicity

*crickets* *crickets* What kind of question is that? 😛

Seriously, thanks though. It means a lot to hear you liked the characters because I struggled through a big characterization problem shortly before I wrote this story.

@Dragon-Snapper good job! *salute* See you in the future. 😀

@Jess-Penrose *waves* Heyo. 😛

@daughteroftheking *applauds your motivational speech*

Well, I hit 50k on day ten and finished my novel on day eleven. Since then, I’ve been looking at my Novella that I wrote in July and working out some stuff to edit in it and all those fun things.

@Dragon-snapper @Jess-Penrose I’m heeeeeeere. Brainstorming some stuff for edits.

@supermonkey42 I don’t think it would be too confusing as long as the MC doesn’t know what other characters are thinking because…that would be creepy.

@ethryndal Just thought I should add that How To Write A Sizzling Synopsis is a helpful book for writing a synopsis. You’ve probably heard me say that before, but what can I say.

@Emma-Flournoy *dies* This is great. I’ve been waiting for your very thorough say so, and child, let me tell you, it didn’t disappoint.

Considering I’m not trying to market my synopsis yet, I think I’m just going to go with the first, slightly longer one (with your suggestions applied, of course, because I like them), and deal with the length…[Read more]

@silverclaw-bonnetfolly Right here.

@lady-iliara Mmm… 😉

@supermonkey42 Thanks. I thought it had a cool classical ring to it. 😀

@ingridrd Oooh, ice cream. This is the best book launch ever. 🙂

Okay, peeps, how’s this?

It is a well-accepted fact in the province of Reed that Fairy Godmothers do exist. You might even have one, if you meet all the requirements to be a Distressed Personage, or your father pays enough money. And if you’re lucky — really, truly lucky — you might be one of those rare few who are chosen at random to recei…[Read more]
