@Dragon-Snapper, if my only legacy was to get the entire world calling you kid, then it was still worth it.

*disappears in a puff of glitter*

Thanks @kate-flournoy and @dekreel! Good advice. 😀 Theme… that’s what I was missing. Thanks Kate! @Dekreel, those are some good things to consider! Thanks!

@kate-flournoy I can’t wait to see you (and @emma-flournoy and the rest of the family) tonight! 😀

@Ingridrd That last version is great. I’m too late to help, but you got a bunch of good help. 😉

@Dekreel Sweet. 😀 😀 😀

Working on editing a blog post, mostly @dekreel

Hi all! Gonna do some writing and some editing. @dekreel @introvert-girl @sam-kowal

Aaaaaand look at that, @Sam-Kowal summed up everything I said first. Wish I’d seen that before I gave the spew. XD

@Shannon Ooooooooh boy. I’m probably not the most qualified to say anything on this subject, as I’ve had horrible struggles with my own characters, but… here goes anyway.

Like you, I’ve never had much luck with character questionnaires. And I think maybe the reason for that is because answering a bunch of black-and-white questions with equally…[Read more]

@Kate-Flournoy WAIT, HOW DID I NOT KNOW DUNSTAN GETS HIS OWN BOOK? That’s cool.

And honestly, Victorious doesn’t bother me too much. Granted, it’s not the kind of title that smacks you in the heart, but neither is it grating, like, say, Finding Freedom! or something horribly cliche like that. If you do end up keeping that title, I wouldn’t…[Read more]

I’m not really sure what you want me to say here, so…

Honestly,  I think in a long series, like yours seems to be, simple, one-word titles are best. That way, they can be remembered more easily. I think Victorious is a good name, but some of the ones @dekreel mentioned would work. It’s your choice, but I think going with a one-word title would be best.

@Ethryndal *grins* And that is an encouraging thought.

*revives you*

That makes sense. And I kindly forgive your grammar. *benevolent flourish*

This story is going to be so epic.

@Emma-Flournoy *dies* This is great. I’ve been waiting for your very thorough say so, and child, let me tell you, it didn’t disappoint.

Considering I’m not trying to market my synopsis yet, I think I’m just going to go with the first, slightly longer one (with your suggestions applied, of course, because I like them), and deal with the length…[Read more]

@Ethryndal I LOVE IT. O.o Now I have to pick which version is the best. Yay. I like the first one best, with the phrasing of all the stuff, but as you’ve already been told and are fixing, it’s too long and gives away too much information. Sooo…

I think I like the first one in your latest post best, but with these differences: keep this version…[Read more]

@Daeus WHAHOO!

Okay, peeps, how’s this?

It is a well-accepted fact in the province of Reed that Fairy Godmothers do exist. You might even have one, if you meet all the requirements to be a Distressed Personage, or your father pays enough money. And if you’re lucky — really, truly lucky — you might be one of those rare few who are chosen at random to recei…[Read more]

Hmm… general consensus being it’s too long… *tugs nose* How do I go about this…

Okay, so I sheered the top bit off. Better? Worse? Still too long?

Biddle Frankenmore wasn’t exactly what you would call Heroine Material. She wasn’t beautiful. She couldn’t sing. She wasn’t in any particular sort of distress, besides the occasional tumble…[Read more]

@daeus Woot!!! Congratulations!
