Romance these days, be it triangle or not, is very cheesy… there have been very few romances I’ve read where I was actually glad it was there. Author’s seem to lose sight of what love actually is, and they play it up to be some big emotions thing because the girl is so beautiful and when he’s with her, he feels this tightness in his throat and…[Read more]

@Christi-Eaton YES. I can’t think of any examples right off the top of my head, but girls that lead both guys on are incredibly annoying. That’s a whole different set of problems right there. 😛

Definitely agree with you there. It doesn’t necessarily have to be main (Faramir and Eowyn) but it has to have its place in the story and serve some…[Read more]

@Daeus exactly. I have no problem with that at all. Great point. It’s when the character is supposed to be likeable but only has that one goal that I start to lose it.

@Daeus *shocked eyes* What, you— you love TCoMC??? Wow, I… who would have ever guessed?!
Hey, rambling’s great. By all means. Ramble away.

Oh, I didn’t answer the question did I. 😛 Hm. Um… living and watching and thinking? Basically? *grins* Personally, my imagination is a huge help. If I can put myself through their backstory and figure out who they are because of it, I’m good.

AAAAHHHHH!!!!! I LOVE THIS COURSE!!!!!
*stuffs herself in the closet and muffles screaming in the nearest pillow*
I don’t even know where to start. Just… I guess I can sorta sum it up by saying I am completely mind-blown by how extensive and detailed this course is. Not only that, but also ORGANIZED IN A COHERENT MANNER. With examples and…[Read more]

@I-j-Anderson

…that also sounds vaguely familiar. Hint?

@aratrea I’m trying to figure out what my theme should be for my next book, but I’m having a bit of trouble figuring out which one to do. Can I have more than one theme, like two, maybe?

@Daeus Just when you think KP can’t get any better. This. Is. So. COOL.

@Aratrea Well, after three days of pondering, I’ve finally figured out the theme of my novel, which I’m currently editing. Here we go:

Theme: The intrinsic worth of humanity

Focusing Question: What gives a person value?

1. If they’re useful to society
2. If they have great social appeal (beautiful, smart, funny)
3. If they’re good
4. If they’re…[Read more]

It was kind of an overlay of the characters, pasted over the top of the main ship in FTL travel. I’ve seen it implemented in other places, and I thought it would be a good style on the cover. They actually fade into the background a little, as if to say, “They’re not actually there…” Perhaps I need to accentuate that a little more.

“Can you tell that the character on the right is a girl”?

@leumeister I kind of had it backwards and thought the character on the left was a girl and the one on the right was a boy. Merp.

I think cover 2 has possibilities, though I think the title is slightly too big. It kind of looks like it’s falling off the page. And about the Cover 1,…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper Oh I KNOW. That chapter is sooo long and deep. 😛

@jess Alright, I’m going to stop now, but I was able to write two pages of notes for one character. Thanks!

@jess Great!
