@Hope no, I was just fussing at you because I could. XD

@Daeus too fancy, and the swirls make them too big. Fix that, and you should be able to bump the subtitle up so it’s not so close to his head and you should be good all around.

@Daeus heyyyy, I actually really like that. There’s a lot more for the brain to process there; it’s vastly more interesting. The only thing I can think might help with setting the genre a bit more obviously is a sword somewhere in the design… it doesn’t have to be in the actual picture, but maybe in the border… just a sword-shape. You could…[Read more]

Hey, y’all. I’m back with another cover here. I think my designer either misunderstood me or missed some of my changes, so it’s a bit different than what I was planning, but it ended up being pretty cool in my opinion. I get the feel that it’s…[Read more]

Okay, here’s the pick of the litter: The Silver Spark/Flame, The Rogue Blade, The Spark/Flame of the Dimwood (courtesy of Daeus 😉 ).

I’m thinking I want to go with Spark over Flame, as long as it doesn’t sound juvenile, because rebellion is the flame, and Rodyn’s the one who sparked it. And silver is banned from being worn, because it was the…[Read more]

Quick poll: Someone told me the name ‘Rodyn’ made them think of ‘rodent’. I told them that actually, Rodyn means marsh, so… 😉 BUT I don’t want his name to conjure a picture of every kind of wrong. So tell me, does Rodyn make you think of rodent?

Yay, this is all great! Ideas are starting to simmer.

@Hope, yes, he was throwing out word combinations for you to use.

@dragon-snapper Good point! For this book I am planning on separating families 🙁 It’s a huge reality of what is happening in some places of the world today. Hmmmm… I believe that if the people that banned Christians were an organized religious group they would probably ban any of the other religions as well. Again like we see today, it’s our…[Read more]

@Hope:
” ‘UNlimited Intelligent TechnologY.’ Sell it to the public like that.”
I think that’s a pretty good idea myself, but to be clear it’s not mine, it’s Isaiah again.
Is this Scarlet Rose or the other one?

@Hope that definitely sounds like it’d be enough to start a rebellion.

@northerner @hope Maybe it is injected just like any other required medications. It could be required to vote or to have a job. In the Star Wars universe, slaves have something like this that tracks them or will ‘blow them up’ if they attempt to escape. Each slave is given one as they come in to slavery. Anakin talks about this in the 1st movie.

@Hope, so I asked Isaiah about it and this is what he said:

The tracker could be produced under the brand name Unity, but have a deeper meaning in the government acronym. I therefore suggest something along the lines of ‘Unlimited Nanotechnological Ingestable Tracking sYstem’. (The government often sacrifices the rules of standard…

I have found what everyone has said here very useful. but I was wondering what every one thought about multiple POVs all in first person?

@Hope, I’m terrible with acronyms (sorry,) but I looove your idea!

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

@Hope

@bluejay, @sarah-h, @gretald, @ingridrd, @kate-flournoy, @daeus, @anna-brie, @gideon-sowdon, @hope, @dragon-snapper, @overcomer, @julia-r, @spradlin,

There is a 7 or 8 year old little girl with cancer. It doesn’t look as though she is going to live, so please pray for her and her family!y to have peace and healing.

@Daeus sorry I’m late again… @Hope wasn’t kidding when she said I had mice in the wifi box. Seriously. Twelve of them. They were promptly ejected, but they did mess things up quite a bit… 😛
And that definitely sounds like it could work; your idea. I especially like the idea about the letter. One word of caution— I can tell you from personal…[Read more]

@mark-kamibaya Ahgh! That’s just what I don’t want!

@kate-flournoy Vampires. Ugh. That’s why I didn’t like the girl’s affect. You’re right. *grimaces*

So I’m gonna try to reimagine this cover. I like the guy, but maybe something else needs to change. Maybe even forget the guy? Who knows?

Now if any of you have any ideas, I’d gladly take them,…[Read more]

@hope Let’s hope the mice don’t eat her. Mice do that, you know.

You’re probably right about just having the hand. I’m thinking I’ll try for just a locket, thought perhaps the girl and/or just hand could be edited to work.
