@Daeus you poor thing. @Emma-Flournoy we are sticklers for grammatical excellence around here. *glowers*

*sighs**rubs eyes* Okay. How about this. How about we play politicians here and work out a compromise. Is there some way you could make it grammatically correct to use both plummets and tangled plots? You’d need a transition of a few words—…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy @anyone-else. I’m gonna write for an hour, then possibly some more.

@emma-flournoy *throws hands in the air* I changed it because your sister told me to. Go fight it out with her!

Seriously @kate-flournoy, what do you think?

@Daeus yes! I love it!

@Christi-Eaton I read it as ‘Forced to confront everything he fights for—shattered; everything he cherishes— put to the test, and a long hidden truth’ etc. The everything he fights for is shattered, and he has to confront that about it.

@daeus sorry I’m a little late…
I like the cover the way you had it originally, although I didn’t like the text crossing the guy’s face. Maybe you could even go with a little less light on his face, since I’m assuming that’s Edwin and he’s very mysterious.

Hey, y’all, this any better?

Matthew is sworn to avenge a murder. His dedication to his wronged family is powerful enough to bring him through any trial, but youth and inexperience hold him back. Setting out to find new strength, he encounters tangled plots, tragedies, bandits, and a deep uncertainty surrounding his destiny. Matthew returns years…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper
I haven’t been on here lately, but thank you all the same. Merry Christmas to you, as well!

Alrighty @hannah-krynicki. I am SO sorry about the long wait again. I sincerely hope I didn’t hold up your writing process. Why don’t you send me all your questions, I’ll answer the ones I can, and send the rest to my British friends? That is, assuming you still need the questions answered. 😀 Again, I’m SO sorry about the wait.

Actually, wait…I just looked at the email you sent again @his-instrument. For some reason, I was thinking the Writer’s Gathering was on January 7. However, if it’s on the 21st, I might (just might) be able to make it. It’s about 1 hour and 30 minutes from where I live. Let me ask my mom and I’ll let you know. 😀

I’m SO sorry I haven’t responded to this until now @his-instrument! Ahh, I feel so bad. This past semester has been so crazy school-wise…It’s been insane. But that’s no excuse for not responding! I’m really sorry! Anyway, about the writing gathering…unfortunately, I don’t think I can make it. So sorry, and thanks so much for trying to…[Read more]

@Daeus *chokes* That is hilarious.

@winter-rose. Hmm. I’m not sure if the gradation in the color is giving it that feel or if it’s just the color. One way or another though, I think I can get it fixed.

Were you thinking something more medieval like…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Aye aye. Will do, miss. Since you mentioned perspective…

@Daeus oh dear. That’s awful. Try a little perspective next time. I hear it works wonders.

@kate-flournoy Uh… well I was doing productive thinking, but all I could think of every moment was how to fix the cover and I was starting to feel a bit sick from it. That’s what happens when I can’t think of anything but one thing.

@Daeus WHAT YOU WERE SITTING HERE WORRYING ALL MORNING??? 😛 Loosen up a bit. XD

@kate-flournoy Thanks. You probably saved me from a premature death by worry. I might be able to work the nose in too, but we’ll see.

@Daeus sorry I’m late again… @Hope wasn’t kidding when she said I had mice in the wifi box. Seriously. Twelve of them. They were promptly ejected, but they did mess things up quite a bit… 😛
And that definitely sounds like it could work; your idea. I especially like the idea about the letter. One word of caution— I can tell you from personal…[Read more]

Alright. I think I’ve finally settled on an idea here. I’m thinking I’ll have the guy shrunken and focusing in just on him as a bust shot, leaving out his hand. I’ll put him down in the bottom 3/10ths of the page in the right-hand corner. On the left-hand side of the bottom 3/10ths of the page, I’ll have this letter from the story being consumed…[Read more]

Ok, folks.

So while we’re here, I thought I’d share a lesson I just learned about book covers. I went throughout our house and looked at all the novels we have then went and browsed the classics section on amazon. Here’s what I learned about what makes a good book cover.

#1 It’s simple. You don’t have to study it, you understand everything…[Read more]
