@Daeus wow. You’re right. That price is insane. 😛

@kate-flournoy I used this guy. He gets my thumbs up. I don’t know how he gets away with charging so little. http://bookcovermall.com/custom-design

*smirks* I told you guys you could ignore this.

@Daeus oooh! I really, really like it. You’re right— the clean, clear format is very smart and refreshing. A little texture in the background might improve on it, but just a little, and I might change my mind if I saw it.
A subtly ominous feature could work… but it would have to be very subtle to not overbalance the nice clean look. *wrinkles…[Read more]

Nope, didn't fix.

@TheLiteraryCrusader lol!

Now let me see if I fixed something here…

And… wow. That did something really wonky.

@Aratrea @TheLiteraryCrusader okay, do either of you know what the last five buttons after img are for? They just seem to have done weird things with indents… any clue what the actual abbreviations on the buttons stand for?

No hurry. Just be good to know. 😛

@Dekreel honestly and unfortunately, no. You could outline your novel from the beginning (before you ever write anything) but that still won’t ensure that your story idea won’t change as you were writing it. In fact, it probably will, and that’s a good thing because it means your story is alive.

I’m a perfectionist too. I think I would have been…[Read more]

@DAEUS WHY DIDN’T YOU TAG ME FOR THIS. I MISSED IT. *horrified sobbing that trails off into pathetic wails*

We is upset. *scowls* Don’t do it again.

*coughs* Yes. Anyway. After all that drama, I have nothing to say after all, because I love it. And you should definitely write it, because I want to read it.
So write it.

@Dekreel ooh, Night! That is one powerful little book.

For myself… Les Miserables, The Lord of the Rings, Fahrenheit 451, A Tale of Two Cities, The Count of Monte Cristo, A Christmas Carol, Lord of the Flies, the Mistborn Trilogy, The Roman-Britain Trilogy, The Red Keep… and the list goes on. 😛

@Ingridrd ooh, I’m getting strong velveteen rabbit/toy story vibes. 😀 I love the open end though; there’s still hope. 😉
And… believe it or not I really don’t have any criticism. It’s adorable. It made me feel guilty about my stuffed leopard that I haven’t talked to in ages. And it has that sweet, half-wistful tone of all stories told from the…[Read more]

@ingridrd I want that on my wall!

@perfectfifths Yeah. I knew it was in editing mode. I left it that way because sometimes people like to leave long comments at the end of a story. Suggesting mode is much better for editing in general though. You can switch it to suggesting mode whenever you like.

@perfectfifths Yes, I think I sent you an email, but if you didn’t get it, you can access it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16ycjr6zOnxjAtIpSkMQ6SDkHKlg5iX3oMfA9aHpUD7I/edit?usp=sharing

@dekreel same. I know it’s a classic but I’ve never read it. 🙁

But as far as unique and compelling stories go… when you think about it, all stories are pretty much a mash-up of the same storylines being used over and over again. What makes them their own is what the author uses them to say. When a new voice picks up an old story, new depths…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Yep, the 3rd person one.

@graciegirl Well, cool. 🙂 I’ll send you the doc.
