@ethryndal Like normal, I love the voice you use.

You might keep a long version like this for use on your blog, but if you’re going to use this on a sales page or book cover, yeah, it needs to be short.

You can probably make the point about her being heroine material shorter and cut out the part about her step-sister

Hmm… general consensus being it’s too long… *tugs nose* How do I go about this…

Okay, so I sheered the top bit off. Better? Worse? Still too long?

Biddle Frankenmore wasn’t exactly what you would call Heroine Material. She wasn’t beautiful. She couldn’t sing. She wasn’t in any particular sort of distress, besides the occasional tumble…[Read more]

@sam-kowal I can see how it must be fun to have Stan as a dragon. 😉

@sam-kowal

Um…sorry, Stan. You can’t eat him. 😛

@daeus Woot!!! Congratulations!

Thanks everyone. 😀  I really enjoyed writing it.

Yay! Can’t wait to read it, @daeus!

Happy late Thanksgiving y’all, and may we never forget to rejoice in God for the blessings he has given us.

@sleepwalkingmk Apologies that I’m just now getting around to this. Glad you’re learning a lot from these lessons. 😀 I like the fact that you’re weaving in a difficult choice for the protagonist into the end of the Venn diagram there.

@sleepwalkingmk Apologies for taking so long to respond to this. I love that story. Aravis’ character arc is probably my favorite in that story, and it’s excellent!

Well, I’d respond to this, but @dekreel already did and nailed it. I’m struggling with this in my WIP, but I’m not quite to writing yet, so I don’t think I need to worry about it?

@waterlily This is a tough question, but I’ll try to be as helpful as I can.

Obviously, you want to write the best story possible, and if first person works better for you, that’s a good sign first person might be the best choice.

However, I would offer some balancing points. Sometimes writing in a tough POV can be incredibly helpful. I…[Read more]
