LOVE this poem. o_O Wow. Great job, Sarah!
I don’t have a lot to correct, but there’s one line:rangers in a world abounding with royals,
It’s a good line, but I just think it could be a little better. The start of “rangers in a world…” could be taken a lot of places, and not all authors write medieval fiction. 😛

Coola bloga. Just checked it out. I have this http://www.thescratchingquill.com but whether or not it is technically a blog, I’m not sure. It is something though and I enjoy it and it is on the internet.

@The Happy Bookaholic It’s good to have someone to correct our grammar since we are writers after all. Keep it up. I’d just ask you to try to avoid the all caps. Your points are just as pertinent without them.

lol! Yeah, sometimes I’ll go on a quote kick myself where I’m like “LOOK AT ALL THE SMART SAYINGS OF THE SMART PEOPLE! LOOK AT THEM! LOOOOOOOOK.” And then I think, “Wow, really could have picked a better senior quote.” XD And yesssss! Now we can officially share the nerdy things.

@wordfitlyspoken We should start a club. xD “The Writers Who (Quietly) Don’t Drink Coffee” Also, no, I don’t mind at all! I totally just followed you on pinterest by the way. 😀

@kate-flournoy: lol! Yes, you are definitely in good company. Awesome, thanks for the suggestion. That was one of the lines I was actually poking with like “why are you not doing the things I want you to do, hmm?” I also don’t drink coffee (well, I kind of don’t– like, only when someone’s like “let’s go get coffee” and it’s a social obligation),…[Read more]

Hm… I don’t think ‘The Clashing’ sounds cliche… no, it’s not that, I don’t think. I think it’s just a little… oh, what’s the word. Melodramatic? Maybe? Maybe a little videogame-ish?
But ultimately it’s your book— and since I haven’t read it through yet, I can’t offer an opinion on what would fit and what wouldn’t. 🙂

Ivy Rose replied to the topic More Book Titles in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 10 years, 12 months ago
The Clashing sounds a bit cliche. In my mind, I’d assume that there is clashing just because of the premise of the story. I think Age’s End sounds really good with Two princes rise; one king falls. Two nations war; one weapon unites. That and it kind of signals the end of one way of life and opens the door to another. It’s very intriguing. It…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic More Book Titles in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 10 years, 12 months ago
The subtitle sounds great, and I think the basic idea of clashing works well, but “the clashing” just doesn’t sound right. You might try a similar word instead and then add in an adjatiave or something.

Hope Ann replied to the topic More Book Titles in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 10 years, 12 months ago
Hmm, The Slave King wouldn’t work for this story, though it’s a great title.
Age’s End is a good idea too.
What do you think of The Clashing? I personally like that title, though my sister isn’t sure about it and (since I’m not very good at titles) I don’t completely trust myself when it comes to titling sometimes.
But still…The Clashing Tw…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic More Book Titles in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 10 years, 12 months ago
Can it be “the slave king”? That would really catch my attention.
I like Battle of the age
And Age’s End
I like the “the sign” from “the spear, the shield, and the sign”. I think the whole thing is too long. Maybe something shorter and “the sign” -

@Ivy Rose Really now, happen to have heard of the Karishians, Cartosians, or Adishians? My great grandfather survived the genocide. The story is going to be based on his story.

I like Ages Ending and Kate’s The Servant King. 🙂

Ivy Rose replied to the topic Help with titles in the forum General Writing Discussions 10 years, 12 months ago
@Daeus those are great points. Thank you. And “Sent Out To Die” is quite an intriguing title. I’m looking forward to reading it someday…I have a lot of Armenian in me I’ve heard that somewhere up the family tree my ancestors survived the genocide. 🙂
@Sarah glad you like the R titles. 🙂 I do have tentative summaries written up…I can post…[Read more]

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic More Book Titles in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 10 years, 12 months ago
Hm… I like Age’s Ending. Only maybe it would sound more dramatic if you went with simply ‘Age’s End’.
And glancing through the titles, I sort of mixed and matched and came up with a few that may or may not be relevant… I’m just fiddling around and trying to be my innocent unhelpful self, so feel free to tell me to go away.
