Here we can post quotes by famous or infamous – I mean unfamous – I mean non-famous people that give good writing advice. Just short snippets that carry a lot of truth in a small amount of words.
If anyone thinks it’s a…[Read more]

The Lost Key
The black waves swirled around me.
These chains pulled me down.
I screamed to be set free.
Hands clung to the lightning crown.
Sky’s colour, far from the dawn.
My heart had descend in this sea
Relics of my joy long begone.
Sunken deep was the lost key.
Agony as he grined and jeered
I should never have believed…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, just the Jane Austen post. I haven’t had time to read anything else yet…
Ha! I’m so proud of myself for recognizing his chin! 😀 I like being able to do things like that.
You’re doing characterization…I was just talking with @kaya-young about basing my characters off of real people. Do you ever do that? (Despite the dis…[Read more]

Oh, Hooray! I finally got around the quirks in my gmail account and have a google document with the opening of my book!
So please read it and tell me if after reading this much you would keep reading. Or something like that.
Right now I’m not looking for grammar and editing issues, but just trying to make sure that it’s a good idea to c…[Read more]

Rochellaine replied to the topic Contemporary Western Novel in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 1 month ago
@kaya-young Haha! I definitely agree.
Here’s a question: Have you ever read those “disclaimers” in the front of books that say “This is not based on any real person, and any similarity to a real person is unintentional on the author’s part” or something like that? Do you think that is ever actually true? Because I totally base my characters of…[Read more]

Okay, I’ve got a little bit of clarification to do. 🙂 Mostly because I took a lot of time off from writing for finals last month, and am just getting back into it, so I had kind of forgotten a couple of the plans I had made for this book. Therefore, when I wrote the synopsis I missed a few things.
@seekjustice and @jenwriter17 This is not a h…[Read more]

@kaya-young I love English accents! And yeah, I have found myself speaking like that, too LOL

Okay, so I have decided on a name. *drumroll*
Devin!
I thought about what you said, Hannah, so I just changed the spelling slightly to avoid any pronunciation errors. Thank you all for your input!

Oh yeah I thought of another thing.. So I would avoid using super overdone/common superpowers as I think they can turn readers off a little bit. Try to put your own twist on them if you must 🙂
I guess most things have been done but I think there is always new ways to use them. - Load More
