@leumiester Yeah. Though pages should work for that too if you have a mac user who doesn’t have word.

@leumeister Are you hoping to get beta readers? Here’s what I’d recommend. You’ll want to use a word document. The reason is that beta readers can easily leave detailed comments on there. With a pdf, from what I know, all they can do is read it and then send you their overall comments. I think you could use dropbox to share the file if you want,…[Read more]

@daeus, I’m sorry you felt that way. It does have great points. It’s very understandable though. 🙂 I have put down books others have highly recommended too, so I’ll forgive you. 😉 (also because you did enjoy the Fiddler’s Gun and we both have a love for the Count of Monte Cristo) 🙂

@christi-eaton I got almost half the way through the first one, but Marcus was honestly the only character I cared about, so I put it down. I’m sure it’s got brilliant points, but I wasn’t able to keep it up.

@aysia-serene 🙂 🙂 Haha! Yes! Let them skip the line. 🙂 I hope I can have a conversation with you about the Atonement Child when you are finished.

@aysia-serene The Atonement Child. Read it. Love it. Cry – a lot. It’s very heavy though. But it is very powerful. If you are fine with Mark of the Lion you won’t have a problem. Also, another one I really enjoyed was Bridge to Haven.

@aysia-serene YESSS!!! The Mark of the Lion is an amazing book series. I’ve been wanting to write a review on it but because there are some very heavy subjects / slightly graphic scenes, (though I believe Rivers handled them very well) I’ve held off for some of the younger viewers. I’ve had more than one conversation with some people on this forum…[Read more]

@aysia-serene I’m glad you came out of the shadows! Francine Rivers is also one of my absolute favorite authors! It sounds like we have the same tastes in books. I’m so glad you enjoy KP. One of the things that drives me to keep publishing on here is the encouragement and the community. I hope you won’t go back in the shadows because I love seeing…[Read more]

No ideas. None. My brain is empty. But I shall let you know if I come up with something. *nods*

@Hope

@michael-stanton I can delete posts if you ever need me to. *delete’s your post*

Did you draw your avatar, by the way? I love it!

Hello @Aysia-Serene! I’ve seen you hovering around the edges here— welcome aboard. 😀 So glad you finally decided to join us. 😉 I see a lot of fantasy in your author list— is that your favorite genre? It’s mine too, though it really depends on the quality of the story. 😉 Do you ever think you’ll branch out and try something new?

Welcome again!

No problem @gretald. It gave me time to make a list of things that have randomly popped up in my outlining. There will probably be more, but for now here is the first round of interrogation. Thanks for helping me out!
-If you want to meet with someone to have a good chat, do you go to a coffee shop or some other place?
-Very roughly, how does the…[Read more]

CONGRATULATIONS A MILLION TIMES OVER! That’s so awesome!!!

Ah! I’m second. Well, welcome to the bestistest place on the internet @aysia-serene.

btw, people, Daeus likes this story.

And yes. This is the correct way to post a critique thingy. 😉 For the forum, at least. If you wanted an excerpt critiqued by the actual staff and posted on the home page, you’d have to submit it by email as stated in the submission guidelines.

@Abigail-Blomberg I really love the idea of taking the story from Joseph’s perspective, and I love the symbolism of a songbird you chose to represent their love. Great choice. There were only a few things I noticed that actually needed work— for one, you seem to randomly switch back and forth between past tense and present tense. That can be…[Read more]
