Kate Flournoy

@kate-flournoy I characteristically have nothing to add, so I’m going to disguise the fact be rambling. First of all, The Count of Monte Cristo. I’m so glad you brought that up, because I love that book and it’s always good to bring it up. Secondly, the idea of the unpicked one has been fascinating me. I feel like that would make a great premise…[Read more]

@audrey-caylin Yeah, I think it pretty much comes in the job description that authors need to enjoy putting themselves in their characters’ shoes. 😉 People watching is a great way of analyzing how people react in different situations. And I’m going to take a bet that @kate-flournoy is going to be joining you in the Myers-Briggs boat of delving…[Read more]

I just thought of another subtitle idea. Compared to Dire Recompense, how do you like Sudden Recompense?

@kate-flournoy I personally don’t see a huge distinction between personal and universal themes since it seems to me like several themes, like love or mercy, could really fit into either category depending on what kind of story it is. I really like your point about how much of a difference POV makes to a story’s theme, though. I wonder if this ties…[Read more]

@ethryndal Yep; I’m totally with you. That’s what tends to frustrate me the most about much of contemporary fiction. There’s a lot of popular novels out there that are entertaining stories, but not much more than that. =P

@kate-flournoy That’s awesome! And yes–that’s definitely a really important aspect of making a strong theme. We’ll be…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy That’s a good distinction. As far as the practical application between personal and universal themes, I don’t think there’s any significant difference. One thought I have is that it is generally best to use universal and personal themes in combination. For instance cowardice with the meaning of life, responsibility with justice,…[Read more]

Ok, Here’s the same thing only with the name in gold. Any votes between the gold and silver name? @kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy @dragon-snapper @rolena-hatfield @sarha-h

@kate-flournoy:

Well, I want to keep the font metallic… It just fits with the style of the story. Thanks, though! I’m glad it looks like it will work! ^_^ How do you think I could fix the uniformity of the cover? Also, did the logo’s reflections catch your eye?
Oh, and the ship is in FTL travel (a term I use a lot in Aquila!), so you wouldn’t…[Read more]

@daeus Wait, @kate-flournoy is already green. She’s a dragon, isn’t she? 😛
Okay, I actually like the idea of splitting one hugeongeous book into three mainly because then I feel like I’ve finished something when there’s still more to do. I would have finished something (reading your book) three times. I’ve read a book before, except I didn’t,…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy , Douglas is really good. I guess I’m going to decide a little more on some parts of his character before I finalize, but I really like Douglas!

@ethryndal , Unfortunately, I have been cursed with changing a character’s name… from Steve to Alfred… yeah. Terrible idea, but I much prefer Alfred. It fits much better. I totally…[Read more]
