Okay! I think I’ve got it now. I still want to come up with a dramatic tagline, but the rest of it’s done. What do you think?
Trevor is in a mess. After traveling back in time, he and his sister get trapped in medieval England where a mad scientist rules the country with technology and terror. As war brews, Trevor gets the chance to prove his…[Read more]

Hey @xonos-darkgrate want to take a look? Don’t worry, there is *lots* of intrigue and other stuff like that. 😉

@daeus Yeah. What they said. 😉
Btw, I love the book. I’ve gotten maybe 6 chapters through? I don’t really keep track of chapters…

@raevynstar I wrestled through the same question when writing my second book. I think the key is to not make Fiona completely unlikeable. Give her some likeable traits and give the reader some hints that she’s eventually going to change. If you can also give her sympathetic motivations for her unsympathetic actions and show us what sort of things…[Read more]

@Daeus *dashes in with thoughts* *realizes everyone else has already voiced her thoughts* *is slightly at loss for what to do* 😜
Only two things really stood out to me…
1. As Kate said, mentioning Jerrold in that fashion makes him sound more important to the plot than actually was. I mean, he was a TON important to Trev’s character arc and the…[Read more] -

@raevynstar Confidence is key. A good spoiled brat sees the world in black and white. Their confidence in themselves is unflinching and they don’t consider other ways of looking at things. Such firmness inspires respect, even in fools.
Don’t know if that fits your character, but it’s one thing that works really well.

Snapper replied to the topic Synopsis Help in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 9 years ago
Well, the version of a synopsis I know is a maximum of 10 page summary of a book that describes the plot, characters, message, world and the writer’s thoughts. Soooo… I assume these are slightly different things in Australia. That’s all.
That’s my definition of a synposis too…I mean, that’s a good reason for writer’s to hate…[Read more]

@daeus I agree about the last sentence/paragraph thing (and most of what the others said about rewording throughout). I don’t think the whole thing should be dumped, but particularly just the last sentence sounds sort of pushy and/or excluding or something along those lines. If you were to cut it, it might need replacing with something else, but I…[Read more]

I’m confused as well. And yes, @xonos-darkgrate Cinnar would love it here. Probably Julie Martin/Stanley too, what with the unicorns and such.

*scowls at technology in general* Sorry guys… if any of you have followed the link and been horribly confused, I tried to fix something backstage because one of my pages was acting up and I think I just made it worse. I’ll try to get it back up and organized as soon as possible.

@rolena-hatfield wellll… *glances around cautiously*
Okay, yes. Apparently my secret is out. I do have a blog. I’ve had it for a while; I just haven’t been able to be active on it yet. I went ahead and set it up for graphic design purposes, but I’m waiting to finish up the very lastest of my last extracurricular school projects before I start…[Read more] - Load More
