I also ordered a whole book on marketing books by one of the hosts. I’ll let you know how I like it when I’m done with it.

As far as naming places go, I’ve got a few ones from the book I’m writing at the moment.
Most noteably:
The Fat Spot Bakery
The Experimental Substance Coalition (a degree in Mad Science required to join)
and a small town named Nowhere. 🙂
Not inns, but they were still fun to name. -

I like the Dragon’s Claw. 🙂

Oh good! I’m glad to hear it was well done. Something like that done ill would be very destructive. I applaud anyone who can tackle such a job and come out on top. 😛

A week or two ago I finally got Eli by Bill Myers. I wasn’t sure about the idea (a parallel universe with Jesus coming in modern day instead of 2000 years ago, but the book was wonderful. It was well written, very powerful, and dealt with the retelling of Jesus’s life masterfully. If you have a chance to read the book, I’d highly recommend it.

Don’t worry— it doesn’t really hurt Harold. He’s gotten used to it.
And used to being called that. 😉
And I’m glad you like it— I actually went to a fair bit of trouble to come up with a dramatic nickname for him that didn’t sound… well… comic-bookish. 😛

I like the name Flamehand – for him at least. There are obvious reasons why I don’t want to be called that. Ouch!

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Scene Critique— Please in the forum Novel Critique Requests 10 years, 10 months ago
Thank you @writefury! I did sort of do that on purpose— Dallan can’t resist rubbing Harold’s nickname in his face every chance he gets, but maybe I should have made that more obvious or taken it out altogether. 😛

Rosey Mucklestone replied to the topic Scene Critique— Please in the forum Novel Critique Requests 10 years, 10 months ago
What Daeus said. 😛 and one other thing. Reading it straight through, you rather overused the word Flamehand. It just shows up a lot when Dallan is addressing Harold. I’d cut it out in one or two instances so it doesn’t get repetitive.

A Servant comes out of the house and notices us.
Quinn: Greetings, sir. May you tell us whose house this is? -

Hey everybody,
I found out about this webinar on twitter and I already signed up myself. It’s free and what writer doesn’t want to get better at selling books? (I do.)
I thought some of you might too.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Scene Critique— Please in the forum Novel Critique Requests 10 years, 10 months ago
Thank you Daeus. 🙂
I didn’t realize until I posted how long the scene was— sorry to give you such a substantial chunk all at once. 😛The one thing you need to know about Dallan is that he only worships Dallan. If Dallan can further his own interests by saying anything and doing anything, he will, no matter what it is he has to do. He does…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic Scene Critique— Please in the forum Novel Critique Requests 10 years, 10 months ago
Well, first of all, the emotions are fantastic. Dallan is wonderful bad guy. This is really well done. I only have four small points to make.
1. The second paragraph needs improvement. First of all, why is the darkness flame streaked? The big thing though is that the section, “to the voice that had broken so unceremoniously in on his meditations”…[Read more]

I have a scene I would like feedback on. Specifically, if either of the characters seems inconsistent. There’s a lot of backstory here, so a few statements may seem rather vague, but all in all I think it pretty well explains itself.
It’s the middle of the night in an army encampment.Here it is.
“Harold? Harold, is that you?”
Harold jumped and… -

Children of memory sounds good. I don’t think someone who has never read your books would know what it means though. It could mean a lot of things.
Generations of remembrance doesn’t sound right. Tales of remembrance would work though.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic HELP!!! in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 10 years, 10 months ago
What do you guys think of ‘Children of Memory’ or ‘Generations of Remembrance’? Nothing’s final— I’m still working, but I want your opinion.
