*evil snickering*
Yeah… @Daeus and @Sam-Kowal were right. I’m the wrong person to ask.

@aratrea 😀 I know that book!
Oathbringer was pretty mind-blowing, I thought. I was supremely satisfied with Dalinar, although I was getting angry at him in his backstory… the only thing that felt unfinished to me was the (Oathbringer spoilers for anyone randomly reading) Adolin/Sadeas conflict, it felt like it was resolved much too easily, but…[Read more]

*sees you tagged @kate-flournoy*
*beams and then collapses*
I think Kate is doing a series that’s going to be, like, 5 million words. Or something like that, she said she had book 1 written and it was 500,000, so…
I don’t think there is a max, at all.
Besides what they can physically publish in a bonding, Brandon Sanderson’s…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 Wow, that’s really hard ;(

Oh, wait, you already asked Kate this question. WHY!?

@dragon-snapper The max? Hahahahaha!
Oh, dear. The max, you say. Well, I don’t know if there is a max. 😉 Probably very few people if any have ever written a 1,000,000 word fantasy novel, but I will say that the trilogy I’m working on is looking like it will end up that long.
And whatever you do, don’t ask Kate this question!

@Winter-Rose Wow… that’s a tough decision, but super exciting. My brother has grappled with the choice of college himself, and I know how hard it can be. It’s incredibly brave of you to buck the traditional, pressured paths of society to pursue writing, and I’ll definitely be praying for you. May God strengthen and encourage you through this…[Read more]

So….I’ve heard a lot about fantasy novels being long, but Iv’e never written anything longer than 85,000 thousand words. Anything that was going to be longer than that I never finished. So I’ve been wondering…how long is the max for fantasy novels?
@daeus @aratrea @kate-flournoy @shannon @any and all fantasy people…

Elizabeth replied to the topic FEEDBACK HELP NEEDED! in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 9 months ago
Hello,
A couple thoughts…
–I believe someone above mentioned that posting this in such a huge block of text makes it very difficult to read and comprehend. Maybe using something like Google Docs would be more beneficial to you in the future…
–I found myself skimming over the chapters as time went on. This may have to do with how long it…[Read more]

Louise Fowler replied to the topic FEEDBACK HELP NEEDED! in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 9 months ago
@inkling-for-christ I would love to read you work, if you still want feedback. But may I make a suggestion? Reading it in a post like this is a bit hard, and makes it tricky to comment on what might need revising. If you could put it in a Google Doc and share the link with us on Suggest mode, that would give us the ability to highlight sections to…[Read more]

@Seekjustice you can do it!! 😉

Jane Maree replied to the topic Writers' Corner #11 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 9 months ago
@Seekjustice indeed. 😛
Editing is going fairly well. I keep getting sidetracked (thanks very much, oh my tiny little attention span *rolls eyes*) but it’s been fun.

Jane Maree replied to the topic Writers' Corner #11 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 9 months ago
@SeekJustice yayy, howdy! *waves* I’ll be here for a while yet. 😀 (Though I may duck off to grab foods at some point)

@daughteroftheking, fare thee well fellow fashion savvy person.
I think I’ll probably end up making Eritrea her name and Estia her undercover name, or vice verse. thanks for your input

@daughteroftheking, I think I’ve narrowed it down to two names. Eritrea and Estia. which do you think? she’s a thinker, a fighter, a planner, and a spy
