@jenali That’s awesome to hear! 😀 It definitely opened up my view of storytelling as well when I realized that several years ago. Haven’t read The Last Unicorn, but it sounds like a good example. Isabella is definitely both in Northanger Abbey, and I agree that she’s more of an influencer. On a side note, isn’t Northanger Abbey just a fantastic…[Read more]

@jenali Great example! Charlotte and Elizabeth are great foil characters in Pride and Prejudice. Those sorts of foils can definitely work very effectively.

@jenali Looks good–I like how the scenes build on each other to hammer on Brigen’s inability to succeed with his EiL.

@jenali Great! What aspects of this section have been harder to understand? Is there anything I could be explaining better?

@jane-maree Awesome. Sounds like an effective foil then.
@jenali I like the characters there, especially Shriah’s alternate take on strength. What are the negative repercussions of the Allie’s decision to flee and Shriah’s stale mate? Often poetic justice will include more than simply a failure to do something.

Ah, no problem @emma-flournoy. This is a realistic planning session, not a squeeze yourself dry session.

@gideon-sowdon Neat, I didn’t know librivox had a forum.
@audrey-caylin Oh, yeah ask them. Good solution. 😛 It would be simplest if someone else could post it and then we’d avoid the worry altogether, but there’s certainly no need to. I’ll go ahead and contact them early tomorrow if everyone else is occupied.

@jane-maree Oooh, dump away. Also, if you wouldn’t mind asking them to share it, that would be great.

@sierra-r Alas! I applied for the Facebook group, but never got accepted. Don’t know why.
@audrey-caylin I thought about them, but I wasn’t sure about their no self promotion policy. I’m not selling anything, but it is my own thing and it is for my own use and for KPs. Thoughts?
@adry_grace No problem. Wow, you actually do Wattpad? I am an…[Read more]

@anne-swiftblade that was definitely a close second.

My favorite line(s), though there were SO MANY GREAT ONES:
Kate stopped outside of the large doors to the war room. Why was it that there was always some sort of hidden force that held people’s hands back from knocking? Her fist was stuck midair, and she thought back to every book she had read before. Great. Now she was living a cliché.

Here, let me lift some weight myself. Social media, of course, is a good avenue. You can use these links to share the survey.

Ok, this was my favorite line: 😛
“Don’t think what, that they sat and had tea? No, I don’t think that. They’re probably eating scones with chocolate and having the time of their lives…without me.”

Hey, friends, see if you can help me brainstorm for a bit.
So far, about fifty people have taken the reader behavior survey. That’s pretty awesome. Fifty people can show us some neat things about reader behavior, but we’re going to need a lot more need more if we’re hoping for reliable and detailed data.
So maybe my outlook was too limited.…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper I have literally been laughing so hard I can barely read this. HILARIOUS DOES NOT DO IT JUSTICE. Owwwww… *wipes eyes* I love this too much. Excellent job with the characterization, though you made me out much braver than I’ll ever be. *splits face grinning**wipes eyes again*
Oh man… this is perfect. -
