I am the wrong person to ask about this. XD My WIP was roughly 535,870 words as a finished second draft. I’m still cutting, but it will never be the length of a ‘normal’ book. 😛

That said, 70,000 sounds about the kind of…[Read more]

@corissa-maiden-of-praise Haha, yeah. Creating a title for a book is either super easy or super hard; there is no in between. 😆

No, he mine, I tell you. If any of you want him to be happy, then let him be.

@Hope unfortunately that’s not how it works. *scowls*

@corissa-maiden-of-praise Your book sounds thrilling! Do you have a title for it?

@Daeus ooh! I really like the Time Traveler’s Dilemma. Like, really like it.

I took a speech class two semesters ago and liked it a lot. @winter-rose What other classes are you taking?

@kate-flournoy I love that collage with Francis! The ocean picture is super cool!

@graciegirl I absolutely adore that first For Lor one! Ah, those eyes!

@jane-maree *applauds* I can’t wait to see more of your collages!

@corissa-maiden-of-praise What is your book about (your collage made me curious)?

Word counts? Uhhhhhh.,…..
I was not aware that this was a needed thing.

*drops her textbooks as she reaches to high-five you* Oops! Well, I’m done with ethics for now and moving on to earth science… *winces* @winter-rose

Haha, yes, let’s do it! I’ve got ethics stuff to tackle–let’s go! @winter-rose

I’m all about school today, so I won’t be on much, unless someone tags me on something. @winter-rose

@corissa-maiden-of-praise Yes! *is excited* Foooood.

I came up with three more ideas

1. Fools in the darkness
2. The Time Traveler’s Dilemma
3. Key to the future

For 1 and 3, I would probably have the subtitle “a time travel novel”.

@clairec A lot of wordcount depends on genre. For a first time author, generally 60-90k is the way to go but some genres like fantasy/sci-fi are more like 90k-110k because of all the additional worldbuilding. My gut is that 80-100k would be fine for “historical fiction” since, like fantasy/sci-fi, there’s a fair bit of background information you…[Read more]

*uproarious laughter* Lamingtons! That’s a change from glitter! 😀 @f5a8c3e92
Oooo, the Gold Coast! I’m in Brissie.

@clairec Yay! *celebrates with a plate of lamingtons*

*adjusts glasses and squints at your profile* A fellow Queenslander too? Niiice. I’m on the Gold Coast (but I was born a North Queenslander).

A little late to the party, but THIS PLACE IS SO BEAUTIFUL NOW!!! Just excuse me… I think I’m going to cry. I love the creative rank titles too.

This calls for some balloons!
