@epicaddie2 Wow, that’s really hard ;(
I’m so sorry, I’ll pray about that. Cancer is terrible

@alia I will pray for your little sister too, that’s tough. Hopefully God will use it to help build trust with her

@winter-rose 😀 nice
Always cool to see people trying new things like that
I’ll pray for you

For a first time author, avoid going over 120k; 130k max if you absolutely have to. Once you become published, you can push the limit more (I just finished a 450k fantasy work that topped the NY bestselling list), but publishers aren’t willing to risk those sorts of word counts for unpublished authors.

Oh, wait, you already asked Kate this question. WHY!?

@dragon-snapper The max? Hahahahaha!

Oh, dear. The max, you say. Well, I don’t know if there is a max. 😉 Probably very few people if any have ever written a 1,000,000 word fantasy novel, but I will say that the trilogy I’m working on is looking like it will end up that long.

And whatever you do, don’t ask Kate this question!

@Winter-Rose Wow… that’s a tough decision, but super exciting. My brother has grappled with the choice of college himself, and I know how hard it can be. It’s incredibly brave of you to buck the traditional, pressured paths of society to pursue writing, and I’ll definitely be praying for you. May God strengthen and encourage you through this…[Read more]

Hello,

A couple thoughts…

–I believe someone above mentioned that posting this in such a huge block of text makes it very difficult to read and comprehend. Maybe using something like Google Docs would be more beneficial to you in the future…

–I found myself skimming over the chapters as time went on. This may have to do with how long it…[Read more]

@inkling-for-christ I would love to read you work, if you still want feedback. But may I make a suggestion? Reading it in a post like this is a bit hard, and makes it tricky to comment on what might need revising. If you could put it in a Google Doc and share the link with us on Suggest mode, that would give us the ability to highlight sections to…[Read more]

@jane-maree  @seekjustice  @perfectfifths  @other-aussies  *yawwwwnnnn* Hey guys! I’m writing and pulling an all-nighter. It’s 3:30 a.m. here in the USA. Anyone around?

@jane-maree okey dokey. ☺ signing out now.

@jane-maree that’s good 😀 I know what you mean. I came to our local library to get 2000 or so words done, and I think I’ve managed about 400. Go me 😀

@jane-maree ah, food is good 😀 How is your editing going?

@alia @epicaddie2 @winter-rose I’ll be praying for you all!

@jane-maree I have arrived! I’m working on the climax to my NaNo novel! I think I only have like 20,000 words left to go……*sighs*

@alia *sees your post late* HMMmm… *puts on thinking cap* I would say Eritrea, although I like both.

@alia It’s tragic! Like those fancy cone-shaped hat thingies from the middle ages? Pity no one wears those anymore.

Names! Woe! The perfect ones always escape me…

I must be off. Farewell! *waves handkerchief sadly*

Bye @jane-maree !

I don’t know about @ingridrd but I love to draw! I mostly like drawing people manga/cartoon style

@alia  Yes, you are a centaur in the KPA 🙂

@alia It would be fun, to say the least.

Names are tricky. Yeah, I see how that could be a problem. xD

@alia Some research about the Victorian era. Quite interesting. They sure liked their silly hats, didn’t they? ;P What art thou doing?

@jane-maree Heyo!
