GUYS, THESE ARE ALL SO COOL!! ~ the sorta silent stalker of this page and awol member of this glorious kingdom

@dragon-snapper Cool! What genre is this new book idea? 🙂

If only I hadn’t already made Brendan’s collage…this guy looks exactly like him!

You guys these are so awesome!!! Great job all!
*steeples fingers* And now thou have all inspired me to make another.
I give you a collage for a new book which will be a standalone that I probably won’t get to until next year (AAAAHHHH WHY? GRR!) Anyway, yes. I absolutely cannot wait to write it and I think it’ll probably be my most thematically…[Read more]

@Aislinn-Mollisong got it. 🙂 You did mention that you weren’t going to use that in the final, but I wanted to make sure. They’re fine to use for fun, but if you’re going to use them commercially in any way… yep. Copyrights. 😉

Awesome! Show it to me when you’re done.

@kate-flournoy yes, it’s from Pinterest. I’m not actually going to use that, I was just trying out the website and figuring out all the buttons. And yes, going to change the font.

@Aislinn-mollisong it looks great, but I’ve seen that image floating around and I’m pretty sure it’s not free; did you find the artist and ask for copyright license?

But as far as composition and layout, it looks great. The only thing is you might want to consider a slightly bolder, straighter font. Something more in tune with the fantasy mood.

Thanks, XD.
1. Not original? Ok, I can work with that.
2. Um…not really sure how I can fix that. But a lot more action happens after this particular section.
3. NO! DID I INOFO-DUMP?! I really tried not to…where?
4. Oh. Kay. I’ll see what I can do about that.
5. Oh, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. If you had read the outline thingy on the first…[Read more]

Here’s a link to an article I found: https://www.hunker.com/12587271/what-cuts-through-steel

@ethryndal

@that_writer_girl_99 I’m actually very interested to know what you found out…

I tried that Canva website, and played around with it. I got this.

Won’t be the finished product, but I does look pretty cool.

You know you’re a writer when you google to see what kinds of materials can cut through steel… @dragon-snapper @ethryndal @kate-flournoy

Just on the last page, @xonos-darkgrate. Thanks! That’s actually a really good idea…I’m goin’ tae think on that.

WOW! Thanks, @kate-flournoy! I do have some questions…

I wanted to possibly go for something such as a hand with fire coming out of it, with maybe my “Emblem of the Chosen” somewhere. Either that or something combining a leaf and fire. (Since, you know, Leaf-boy and Ember-girl) Is that complatible with your guidelines?

Ok, so I am having a hard time with some details. In particular,

Is having two moons cliche? I wanted to have two moons, (especially since the second book involves the moon as an important factor) but I’ve already read several books with that particular setup, and am now wondering if it would be overused.

Help?

@xonos-darkgrate I would absolutely love it if you read those two samples, and tell me the pros and cons of each one. I will leave you to it, Sir Magistrate of the RS. (hehe, no one here knows what that is…)

@allison-grace I have the same name on everything (Aislinn is my pseudonym of choice for ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!) and sometimes I get really confused…at Bright Lights last week, we were doing an icebreaker type activity, and I accidentally said, “Hi! I’m Aislinn!” instead of my real name! *embarrassed*

@catwing First of all, go get a copy of How To Write A Sizzling Synopsis. It’s a very good book.

That said, here are a few tips to get you started. I’m working off your most recent synopsis.

1. Yes, use as few names as possible. Say “main character and his five friends” or something like that.
2. When you say these people are not normal–even…[Read more]

@Emily @Shannon I’ll definitely be praying for your vacation!
