@xonos-darkgrate Copy the image address. Paste it into the IMG thing. Then it should work. If the image isn’t on the internet, put it there on something like Pinterest and then copy the address.

Eeep! It worked! That’s my vague idea of a book cover.

@catwing OH WOW! XD That is priceless!Yeysyeysyeysyesysyesyes! That is going in! Thanks so much! Not only is there now more of a story, there is humour, and I NEVER WRITE HUMOUR, well, at least none that isn’t sarcastic. Anyways, this will be interesting!

@catwing Weeeeeeeell, currently she doesn’t have either… I hadn’t gotten as far as that. She has a dragon and a talking zebra though! But it could be fascinating to give her a troop of fairy godparent who argue a whole heap until she just wants to thwack them over the head…

@emily Eh, don’t worry! That was really bad phrasing on my behalf!

@catwing Oooh, some more good ideas. So many of them… Thank you heaps! I definitely will use some of this. *nods* I could do a lot with that, particularly what you said for the ending. Thanks heaps!
@emily Wait, what? Nononononononononono. My cousin raves on about Hope’s books, and an OYANer’s. My cousin is NOT @Hope.

@emily Heheh, I totally forgot that @hope-ann was a KeePer. I thought she was an OYANer… Oops! This is what comes of having a blathering cousin who swaps between raving about OYANer’s books and KeePer’s ones!

Thanks @kate-flournoy. I can’t believe that I never considered a fairy tale to be the best place to have a plot twist. In fact… what if her pet dragon stole it… EEEEP! THANK YOU SO MUCH! -

I just realised I never tagged anyone, and am not sure who to tag, but I know two people who like fairy retellings and can see some people active.
If any of you (or anyone else) feels like helping please do!

I need help!
I’ve been writing a Cinderella retelling that is close to the story, including being set in a similar time. The problem is, I’ve just spent the last year writing a dystopian, action-filled, time travelling trilogy, and this is totally different.
I’ve written a total of two chapters, and can’t find a way to make it continue! I love…[Read more] -

@emma-flournoy I’ve only ever seen TFA, but I want to see the rest. And I have had episodes 1-6 quoted to me by my brother. (every line, went for a whole day.) And the music. The music was played at the right times. So, I’ve heard the whole lot? (Excluding RO, so, I’ll stay out of that debate.)

Hold it right there @dragon-snapper! How dare you insult Kylo Ren, the most deep and epic villain of all of Star Wars! He is amazing.

@amy-l-klob Um… LotR fans… Lord of the Ring Fans…
And that’s so cool! The main things I know about the Amish is what Melody Carlson has written. Sounds cool. -

@daeus Great! Awesome blurb!
Have you considered putting an excerpt at the front?
And it seems accurate to the book and the characters from what I’ve read so far. *fingerguns* -
J.A. Penrose replied to the topic Synopsis Help in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 7 years, 8 months ago
@daeus 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.

@daeus I assume American’s call a blurb a synopsis? If so, this is great!
