Ethryndal replied to the topic Love Triangles— what the Classical Authors knew that we don't. in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 3 months ago
Romance these days, be it triangle or not, is very cheesy… there have been very few romances I’ve read where I was actually glad it was there. Author’s seem to lose sight of what love actually is, and they play it up to be some big emotions thing because the girl is so beautiful and when he’s with her, he feels this tightness in his throat and…[Read more]

Ethryndal replied to the topic Homework for Video 3: Discovering & Deepening Theme in the forum Writing Assignments 9 years, 3 months ago
@Aratrea Well, after three days of pondering, I’ve finally figured out the theme of my novel, which I’m currently editing. Here we go:
Theme: The intrinsic worth of humanity
Focusing Question: What gives a person value?
1. If they’re useful to society
2. If they have great social appeal (beautiful, smart, funny)
3. If they’re good
4. If they’re…[Read more] -
Ethryndal replied to the topic Another Book Cover! in the forum Art 9 years, 3 months ago
It was kind of an overlay of the characters, pasted over the top of the main ship in FTL travel. I’ve seen it implemented in other places, and I thought it would be a good style on the cover. They actually fade into the background a little, as if to say, “They’re not actually there…” Perhaps I need to accentuate that a little more.

“Can you tell that the character on the right is a girl”?
@leumeister I kind of had it backwards and thought the character on the left was a girl and the one on the right was a boy. Merp.
I think cover 2 has possibilities, though I think the title is slightly too big. It kind of looks like it’s falling off the page. And about the Cover 1,…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper I won’t judge you for it. Tolkien’s a hard guy to follow. 🙂

@Dragon-Snapper @Daeus @Winter-Rose Well, I’m going to take a break now. I rewrote a whole bunch and feel surprisingly satisfied with it. Thanks for the icecream party. 🙂

@Daeus Well that’s good. I was pretty sure it wouldn’t, for me, anyway, since I’m a fast reader and got through LOTR in roughly two months. The Silmarillion’s kind of smaller.

@emma-flournoy I literally laughed out loud about the “fair, strong, and tall” part. You’re right; that is so Tolkien. XD And yeah, I heard that it’s no walk in the park. But then I thought, “Do I call myself a Tolkien geek and not read the Silmarillion? I’m braver than this!” So here I go. And I love background. Especially when Galadriel’s in it.…[Read more]
