Ethryndal

@ethryndal XD That was great, but I won’t start now…because yeah, I do have to head off now too. Sorry, Frodo.

That’s what happens when you end up in a love/hate relationship with dragons.

*cocks brow* It’s dangerous, isn’t it. 🙂

@ethryndal Yes, but it’s worth it.

Wait.

Like have their parents die, get chased by a bunch of murderous and ghoulish wraiths-on-wings, get their hands chopped off by a father who was SUPPOSED to be dead but actually is a supervillain, walk across Mordor in bare feet, get their finger bit off by a scrawny little jerk with hair problems,…

@shannon You are wise. 😀

@emily Hi!

And unfortunately though…I actually am going to head out now. I’m going to ignore how long it usually takes me to worldbuild and say adios now. Bye!

@ethryndal

@ethryndal Yes, but the Chosen One’s get to do all the cool things.

*screams* Ah! Elf suddenly!

Mmm… You know, @ethryndal, there’s something about they way that you say ‘kid’ that makes me just wanna do the same thing that Kylo Ren is doing to that chair.

JK

And thank you. 😀 But wait, I thought that just being awesome made me Chosen One.

Let’s spell that out.

CHOSEN ONE.

@shannon Kid… I’ll never live that down, will I? (I don’t really mind that either, but don’t tell @ethryndal)

Oh goodness. Tell me about it. I’m starting a new novel, and trying to figure this new MC was like “So…I don’t even know what you look like!” Well, good luck with that. I’m currently worldbuilding for the new novel. So far, I’ve…[Read more]

@ethryndal I don’t really struggle with developing characters but what you said was helpful for even me! (Especially the last part. I’d never quite looked at it like that.) So thanks 😀

@Dekreel @That_Writer_Girl_99 @Dragon-snapper @Ethryndal @Daeus @Audrey-caylin @Jane-maree @Shannon @Sam-Kowal wow, thanks so much guys, all of you. Just getting the general feedback and feeling out opinion about the existing title helped me get so much more perspective.

@Jane-Maree, believe it or not, I had actually already considered Destroyer,…[Read more]

@ethryndal  I’m late… 😛  *gawks* This is so cool! I don’t care how long it is — It’s just so cool. I can’t wait to read the story!!

@Ethryndal *grins* And that is an encouraging thought.

*revives you*

That makes sense. And I kindly forgive your grammar. *benevolent flourish*

This story is going to be so epic.

@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.

@Ethryndal I LOVE IT. O.o Now I have to pick which version is the best. Yay. I like the first one best, with the phrasing of all the stuff, but as you’ve already been told and are fixing, it’s too long and gives away too much information. Sooo…

I think I like the first one in your latest post best, but with these differences: keep this version…[Read more]

@ethryndal I think pretty much everyone else has said it, but I’ll confirm. It’s too long and it gives too much of the story away. I think you should condense the first paragraph, but don’t cut all of it out, and then completely get rid of the second paragraph, and then I believe it would be short enough to, say, fit on the back cover of a…[Read more]

@Ethryndal definitely better. I love it just how it is, but as Daeus mentioned, you might cut out the first bit about her step-sister without any damage and probably with benefits.

@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

@ethryndal THIS. LOOKS. AWESOME. I totally want to read the book now. I didn’t notice it being too long, though once the others pointed it out, I could see it. The first paragraph was my favorite.
