@graciegirl *sigh* I know. I’m so close.
@catwing Those are great symbols for a time travel cover, however, they don’t insert very naturally into a title. Except maybe gears.

Howdy. I’m planning to write for the next hour. I’ll probably get interrupted and have to leave for a time, but I’m going to do my best.

I just read the article “How to Resist Writing Sterotypical Fantasy Races”. In my book (which is set to be available for sale by Christmas), I have elves and an orcish race. Does this make it too…[Read more]

@salome01w4g I grew up on HF reading and writing!
A couple favorite authors… L.M. Montgomery, Louisa May Alcott and Lois Gladys Leppard.
I also really liked Robin Hood and Ivanhoe. 🙂What’s y’all’s favorite historical time period to write about?

And yes sometimes we do imitate Americans but are far more likely to imitate the Russian accent.
Russian accent? That is beyond cool. XD

Snapper replied to the topic Hi in the forum Start HERE 9 years ago
I am starting to get into a really bad habit of not reading. I kinda need to be kicked for it lol.
I may or may not be guilty of this also. Maybe I should melt my own chair.

Daeus replied to the topic Title for my story in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 9 years ago
@dragon-snapper Yes, I like it too. Unfortunately, I find there’s a movie under that title and two novels. None of them seem popular at all, especially not the novels, but it would still be annoying if they showed up when someone searched for my book. I’m still keeping it in mind because if someone sees the title and goes “ooh”, that’s the most…[Read more]

@daeus Ooh, I like that…although it is a little long. Of course, the title ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’ is long too. XD Maybe instead of ‘who’ you could say ‘that’….I don’t know…weird Snapper preferences.

Snapper replied to the topic Taking Breaks from Unfinished Books in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years ago
@ethryndal Oh yeah. Taking a break from something like that is very good. Not only do you want to prevent yourself from a burnout, but also, it can lead to something even better, like what @mariposa said. I’ve done that multiple times. Planned out a story, begun writing it, then stopped. In fact, I have more than thirty stories in my files that…[Read more]

@Ethryndal do it. I plead horribly guilty of workaholism, but more and more I’ve come to value re-charging and taking a step back for a change of perspective.
I strongly do not recommend trashing the story you have, but I understand where you’re coming from. My current WIP (yeah, that one) has been going for three years and it drives me bonkers…[Read more] -

@Daeus oooh, that’s more like it. I don’t think that one necessarily (because it gives away the ending) but that’s definitely a whole lot more dynamic and deep.

@Daeus that does give off some pretty strong Native American vibes, just so you’re aware.

Daeus replied to the topic Title for my story in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 9 years ago
@emma-flournoy Actually, I’ve thought about “To Soar On Eagles”. It doesn’t seem very time travely, but it is a nice title, so I’ll leave it up there as an option.
Let me try to think of some more ideas.

Salutations, @Glitter-Ocelot! You know your MBTI type. I like you already. *grins* Hello, and welcome to the realm of the KeePers of the Pen. I’m an INFP an I write just about anything speculative. Prefer fantasy right now, but really fantasy is such a broad term… eh… nevermind. 😛
Once again, welcome. What’s your favorite book? If you can…[Read more] -

@glitter-ocelot Welcome! And thanks for telling us your personality type. You must be brushed up on forum decorum. lol

I like the last one, because that does relate to your book the mos, although I like the wording of ‘The Time of Courage’, or even without the ‘the’ in there.
