@daeus That sounds good. The only thing I would ask myself is, will “written in a classical style” possibly be a deterrent to anyone? If so, maybe you want to temper that statement with something about how it pertains to modern life somehow. Know what I’m saying? But if you’re not really targeting the whatever-percent if the population who is…[Read more]

@daeus I agree with Kate. I really prefer the first synopsis. If you do go with the second one, though, make sure you change “His enemy has powerful” to “His enemy is powerful.” 🙂
I would recommend changing “Matthew is sworn to avenge…” to “Matthew has sworn to avenge…” I know that “is sworn” is a thing. That is, I know “sworn” can be used as…[Read more]

@catwing Yeah, I think I know which other scene you mean. *cough*

@julia-r Okay, I gotcha. I just didn’t want everyone to think I almos bit your head off or something. 😀
By the way, everyone, Julia is a great sister and is my main go-to for writing suggestions. I would never get upset at her for giving me lots of suggestions.

@catwing If you want to beta-read, it’s open for critiques. 🙂

@catwinf and I like your pitxh!

@catwing When seventeen-year-old Prince Cerdic’s father is unexpectedly assassinated, he must find a way to rule his barbaric people… while watching his back.

@catwing I’m working on the joys of editing a manuscript. I’ve been in post-production of this thing for about two years now. Its a fantasy novel called Prince of the Barbarians. I’m almost done with this round of editing, though. My next step is going to be to find an actual professional editor. But I’ll be working on that tonight until about…[Read more]

Hi @josiahdeboer! I don’t think I’ve met you yet. Welcome to Kingdom Pen!
I’ve been going through a similar situation as a fiction author, trying to build a following through blogging. I just started my blog (hisinstrumentblog.wordpress.com), but I plan to blog about Scripture, writerly things, and whatever else is on my heart (which could have to…[Read more]

@julia-r Why is it “a miracle you’re still alive”?

@daughteroftheking At first I wasn’t sure about the last one, but then it occurred to me that it’s absolutely perfect for getting a new idea. Because, firstly, my ideas usually come in the form of candlesticks, not lightbulbs, because I’m a little archaic. And secondly, they absolutely smack me in the head and say “hello” in a very suave manner.…[Read more]

@salome01w4g I just figured out that it’s great to outline in post-it notes. I write each plot point on a different note and stick it on my bedroom wall. Each character has their own color, and I write the year/date of the occurrence in one of the top corners so it’s consistent throughout. So you’ll end up with a line of post-it notes all across…[Read more]

@daeus I discovered that for me, sometimes “go the extra mile” means “work extra hard to make sure my writing is the best it can possibly be.” To take the extra time to do another edit. To study more about craft. To be willing to learn. That’s really hard for me, because I don’t like to work on one project for very long. 🙂 But it’s been so worth it!
