I agree with getting your name the same color as the title. And I think the fonts should match better. Your name isn’t going to be fancy like the title, but they just seem mismatched right now. It would be cool if the pattern thing could be a symbol from the book, but I’m not sure if there are any overt symbols in your book…

And one picky…[Read more]

Any critique I have has already been mentioned. I like it. 🙂

@i-j-anderson Yes, yes!! Someone got it!! 😀

@Ethryndal I’ll definitely be praying. I have a close friend whose mom suffers from chronic pain that really limits her, so I can sympathise.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night! 😀 😀

@northerner Yes, I agree that sometimes magic is a necessity in the fictional universe, and as I go on and think of more stories, I’m considering more and more about adding it in – but I’m still unsure, and until I am, I am taking that as a sign from God that I shouldn’t be including magic (and I may never in the end)

Yes, the Lochac site didn’t…[Read more]

@winter-rose Ah, cool! 😀 Haven’t seen Rogue One (yet… 😉 ) Hmm, shall I give a hint? 😀

@bluejay Ahh, I have no idea! 😀 Movie or book?

@bluejay 😀

@bluejay It’s from something! 😉 If you don’t know it, you’re in trouble, because that’s the quote I just put in the Quote That topic. 😀

“Get used to disappointment.” 😀

@bluejay “Get used to disappointment.” 😉

@daeus Yeah, I knew what you meant. It’s still impressive. 🙂 So long as you remember what you sang, it’d just be a matter of transferring it to actual, physical music, wouldn’t it? I really should sit down and try to compose a tune again, but it’s hard! 😀

@daeus Yeah, I think music is composed by ear, seeing as you can’t copy what some else has written (‘cuz it’s not written yet 😉 ) I’m pretty good at figuring out songs by ear, just not writing my own. I use a program called MuseScore to write out music, which is pretty easy to use once you have a basic idea how to do it. Being able to compose on…[Read more]

@daeus LOL! XD That’s great! But I’ve tried (albeit, not very hard 😉 ) to write music – it ain’t easy. I’ve made arrangements from existing music (namely LOTR soundtrack) does that count?? 😉 😀

@winter-rose You said it’s still in theatres… That wouldn’t happen to be from Rogue One, would it?

@emma-l That’s so exciting! For a career, I’m not sure whether I’m going to have a musical career or writing, because both are my two biggest passions. I’ve wanted to be a writer since I was about 10 (I’ve been making up stories pretty much all my life, getting my mum to write them down before I could) but that was before the violin 😉

@bluejay, I think I will, seeing as no one seems to know the current one…

“That’s because out heads have something in them.”

Well, mostly. I prefer magic as magic to magic as something quasi-scientific. Part of the appeal of magic is its mystery
I absolutely agree with that – but it also depends on the genre of your story, so in some cases magic may seem like magic, but actually be scientific. For me personally, though, I have been wondering whether or not I should…[Read more]
