Probably most the CleverNav— I only started choking when Sterling tossed it under the seat and it changed the voice chip.
Just the whole concept behind the malicious navigator was so hilarious… especially to someone like me who absolutely hates both giving and receiving directions for fear something will go wrong.
Also, the humor works with…[Read more]

Definitely a good problem. 😉
Well, if there’s nothing bad, what were your favorite parts or what made you laugh?

I’ve got very little exposure to dystopia, but I think it can be a good genre. I even plan to write a dystopia, well a time travel dystopia. As with pretty much any genre, it doesn’t really matter what other people write, since you can write something different while still keeping to the fundamental rules of the genre.

I think there is one major…[Read more]

Glad it was helpful! I wish I could find more to pick on, and so prolong the discussion of this topic, but I really can’t. Not that that’s not a good problem to have… 😉

YES. Exactly. Denholm frightens people with that. If his cover gets blown and someone notices he’s tired, he just laughs at them or ignores them, depending on what mood he’s in, until he can’t possibly go on any longer. 😛

Well, basically I’m writing the future as a rewrite of the past. You can use it if you want.

That is what’s ever so nice about this sort of character. 😛 They take so much and still stay cheerful and forgiving. 🙂
It’s almost humorous when Cobalt’s hurt because he just won’t admit that he needs to take it easy for a bit. He’s just “No really, I’m fine!” and keeps going until he passes out or something. XP

Thanks, @kate-flournoy! 🙂 I love hearing when my stuff has made people laugh.
Yeah, I noticed that was a bit of a problem, too. I’ll see if I can fix it up on that point. I already fixed what my mom noticed. I didn’t mention the fog soon enough before and it was sort of a “and then… fog!” effect. XD

@dbhgodreigns Thanks so much. And a question about Scrivener. It looks cool, but with regards to formatting, how much more use would it be than Microsoft? I’m currently using Kindle’s Textbook Creator (though I’ve not done much with it yet) to make and export my book…

I’ll even make sure G doesn’t find out you said such things.

Thank you. Thank you from the depths of my heart.

*snickers into hand* Don’t mind me, guys. I’m just… yeah. Don’t mind me.

@hope said it, Masyn. 🙂

Believe it or not, I don’t think I’ve ever read a dystopian novel, but I definitely know what the genre is.

I will just say a couple of things though. I would say a dystopian story where the hero loses would have more potential for harm than otherwise. Assuming the hero stood for freedom and virtue etc.— everything…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy A guinea-pig! Now you tell me. 😉 But then, as the oldest in my family, I’ve been the guinea-pig my whole life; I suppose I’m used to it. I’ll even make sure G doesn’t find out you said such things.

I don’t think there is anything inherently better or worse about dystopian fiction when compared to any other fiction. In books, the hero almost always saves the day in some why or another because well, that’s what the hero does, I suppose. Though no matter what the genre, if the book is told from a Christian worldview, then the character will…[Read more]

@Daeus Wait, rewrite the future? How can you do that when it’s not even happened? (and how can I put a line like than in some story or another? Unless you’ve claimed it, of course.)

second person, but I more often speak to other (real) people in my head then talk to myself. I like to rewrite the future.

I’ve heard good things about using Vellum for formatting a book. It is supposed to be very easy to use and save a lot of time. It is only for mac though.

You can print paper back copies (and sometimes even hard backs) using one of many print on demand programs. The successful self publishing book covers this.

@Daeus no, I didn’t get Reader Magnets, but I will. 🙂

@writefury I suppose that’s true. That is true. 😉

The second person part of me can be very sarcastic too. 😛
