Oops @Ethryndal *ducks head* But I thought it was good she even had an idea, considering she’d had writer’s block for a long time?

And that’s true what you said about forcing names. I’ve never done that, but I’ve had to change names before, and let me tell you it was not fun. I referred to her as Lily for months after I changed it, just cuz it…[Read more]

@S-G-Dewey hm, I’m best with wayyyy older names, but I shall see what I can think of… Francis. William. Laurence. Alexander. Oliver. Douglas. Richard. Martin. George.
I’ll let you know if I think of anything else…

And congratulations on defeating your writer’s block! *cheers*

Same here. For me, life IS the story, and since life without Christ is not complete, it stands to reason a story without Christ is not complete either. So it’s a matter of learning to see reality through the correct lens and put it down just as it is— death, life, despair, hope, sin, God, and everything! 😀

And I’m currently feeling like all my…[Read more]

@Daeus I’m late, but the gold title definitely works better.

@Daeus *groans* Tell me about it. 😛

if you have a 150,000 word novel, you should split it up into three 50,000 word novels

Yah, we’re just gonna pretend we didn’t see that. 😛

I actually don’t know all that much about trilogies, not having dealt with one myself, but the one piece of advice that’s coming to mind is make the middle…[Read more]

@daeus

Weeeell it depends on your definition of it, right? I mean there’s like LOTR where it kind of seems like one long book, right? I mean the transitions between book to book almost seem like chapter endings. And didn’t JRRT mean for it to be six books? So in that case a trilogy can just be one long book.

And then there’re more modern books…[Read more]

@zoe-wingfeather thanks for the info. 🙂 Looks like she does some pretty cool stuff.

@Aratrea well… I like poetry. *grins*

@Daeus hmmm… I like the silver… at any rate the gradient gives the words a bit more of a mysterious look. I’m not sure it’s such a great idea to have both gold and silver words in the same place, unless you were gonna make the title gold and the subtitle silver, because gold is so much more vibrant it’s very distracting. If you’re going to…[Read more]

@Aratrea a deeper understanding of the pieces of the puzzle and the way they work together. 😉

@Daeus One of the Recompense ones (probably Dire Recompense) because the other ones sound very cliche and unoriginal IMO

@Jess wow… you speed-writers. 😛

@Daeus okey dokey! I got 499— not as bad as I was expecting. @Jess, I think I’m going to go ahead and stop now too. What did you get?

@Jess yay!

@Daeus I’m on… not sure how much I’ll actually get written but I’ll try.

@Daeus yep, number 11. 😀

Okay, I’ll have it to you by then barring unforeseen catastrophes. 😉

Awesome! Thank you. *huge grin* @Aratrea
