@perfectfifths
Content. No language. No sex. Violence: a general description of Aztec sacrifices. Description is not graphic, but if just the idea of human sacrifices makes you sick, then you could have problems with it. One guy has a vision in which he is lacerating himself, though there is not a lot of detail in that part.Otherwise, this book…[Read more]

@salome01w4g I don’t have a maximum deadline. A week is just my preferred deadline. Within two weeks is not unreasonable to me. However, if I happen to get a lot of volunteers, I would naturally prefer those who can get it done within a week.

@perfectfifths I don’t have an exact deadline, but if anyone could do it in about a week, that would be optimal.

Mornin Gents and Gentesses,
I wrote a short story recently that I’d like to find some beta readers for.
It’s a slice of life story as well as inspiration fiction in the broad sense of the term and kiiindaa romance, depending on how you look at it.
Its length is 8,900 words.
Let me know if you are interested. 🙂

@that_writer_girl_99 That’s what I’m confused about. This story is written in first person. You must be suggesting a different style within the boundaries of first person.

@perfectfifths Thanks 🙂
@dragon-snapper @that_writer_girl_99 I’m not sure I know what you mean. How would writing it from his POV be different? I thought I would write it diary style because he will only get to re-enter into the story on certain days.

Dear KeePers,
Two days ago, I was inspired to write a short story that at the time seemed like a brilliant idea. I wanted to write the diary of a character from a novel who struggles with his identity and the problem of evil.
The problem was, as I wrote the first entry last night, I felt like what was coming out was practically worthless. Having…[Read more]

@allison-grace I follow the system taught by K.M.Wieland. It’s excellent as many others on here will testify. She has written several books on the subject and she has a series of articles on her blog covering the subject as well.
In her system, there are 18 major plot points. I like to have all of these down before I start writing. On top of…[Read more]

@xonos-darkgrate As far as the magic goes, I think it probably needs a bit more fleshing out with details, but as long as the power isn’t actually God’s power, but merely a separate power he created, I think you’re on the right track.
As for romance, it’s really up to you. It could be hard to write it without any experience and you do want to…[Read more]

@xonos-darkgrate Good ideas. The one thing that confuses me is point 1. It sounds strange that Satan could manipulate God’s power. Maybe there’s there’s an outside force of power that God created and controls as a testing ground? I’m sure you’ll figure it all out.

@xonos-darkgrate what @Daeus said, basically.
Otherwise I think it looks very solid. You seem to already have a lot of thematic material (foils and such) to work with, so you’re starting out with a wide perspective and plenty of stuff to juggle around. Also you seem to know what to do with that stuff, which is always a plus. XD
As for names……[Read more]

The story sounds solid from what you’re telling me. *thumbs up*
I do, however, wonder about the story world. It’s not that I think it’s wrong to do what you’re doing, but I wonder if it’s right. A force that leaks through cracks int he universe sounds mystical and there doesn’t appear to be a God in your story. I certainly believe that fantasy…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic Salutations, writers. I'm Xonos Darkgrate. in the forum Start HERE 7 years, 1 month ago
@xonos-darkgrate I’m pretty sure most publishers will technically except writers of any age, though you may have to get a cosigner if you’re under 18 or something like that. I don’t know. I certainly know that some publishers do accept younger writers. Now, if they know that you’re younger, you will probably have a harder time convincing them to…[Read more]

@catwing Good job with the improvements. 😀
I also liked @perfectfifths‘ improvements. I’ll go off those and add some adjustments myself.
Alex is not normal. She and her friends talk with animals. (No need to say they understand animals. That’s assumed if they talk with them.)
Then she and her friends meet a mysterious cloaked messenger, who…

How do you make it have that bar thing before something that you copy from another section?

@Aislinn-Mollisong got it. 🙂 You did mention that you weren’t going to use that in the final, but I wanted to make sure. They’re fine to use for fun, but if you’re going to use them commercially in any way… yep. Copyrights. 😉
Awesome! Show it to me when you’re done.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Cover Art help? in the forum Publishing & Platform 7 years, 1 month ago
@Aislinn-mollisong it looks great, but I’ve seen that image floating around and I’m pretty sure it’s not free; did you find the artist and ask for copyright license?
But as far as composition and layout, it looks great. The only thing is you might want to consider a slightly bolder, straighter font. Something more in tune with the fantasy mood.
