Wow, I love your WIP idea—so interesting!!!  I think this setup will work out for me.  I’ll probably be able to get in feedback over the weekends as I have school.

A little about me:  I’m a constant writer of fantasy and I’ve been writing (and learning about writing) forever.  I have experience with beta-reading.  Like I said…[Read more]

Let’s see…  pacing is actually something I struggle with.  Cause I have all these amazing plans but the book will be either too long or too many that aren’t long enough, both of which would mess up the pacing.  Here’s the basic outline of my trilogy:

Book #1–As Dark as Mist and Shadow (title change 😉)

Main themes:  loya…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

@gracie-j

Oh, wow!!!!  I love them so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I don’t have a website to share them on, but they’re beautiful!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤  Do you still want a tagline??

@gracie-j

Ooo, super cool!!!!!!!!!  I took it too!!

@libby Terms of endearment! Those are another thing I asked about when my post didn’t work. Are Japanese terms of endearment standalone like the English “sweetheart”? Or do they attach to names?

@libby I had a whole response to this latest post shortly after you posted it and I just came back to find that the whole thing vanished. *headdesks* (And it’s still giving me issues now. Urg.)

First off, thank you again for all the information! It’s super helpful, and really interesting to learn about the different ways the language works.…[Read more]

Your last paragraph answered a question I’d…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver Oh, oops. XD

Mm… I’m not sure? My route was kind of unconventional–I knowingly put less effort into my short stories because I know they’re not what I’m focused on and I wanted to put out something decent but not necessarily stellar while I worked on novels–but… it worked for me? Those short stories were a great opportunity f…[Read more]

@gracie-j

What’s up, Gracie!!!  How’s it going?  I haven’t been on KP for awhile–busy busy life ;)–but I saw this thread and got SUPER excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!  If you’re not too busy, could you design a cover for me?

Title:  A Soul of Mist and/& Shadow

Author:  Ella Fischer

Genre:  Fantasy/adventure

Color scheme:  moody, lots of gray and bl…[Read more]

@hallie-jean

Hahaha!!  That’s SO me!!!!!!!!!  I’m scared someone’s gonna see my search history and (without context) ground me for five million years… lol jk, it’s not that bad….. 😊

@joy-caroline

You go girl!!!  Way to be a witness!!!  Of course I’ll pray for you–keep on being awesome and glorifying God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@joy-caroline Mine too! I should maybe clarify I don’t really listen to much opera opera? Phantom of the Opera is about as official as I get with my opera. I don’t listen to much of the super dramatic stage opera sort of stuff. I’m more using the term incorrectly to refer to anything that goes super ridiculously high. XD But yes! Phantom of the O…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver Since I only do line edits and copy edits, I tried to choose a reasonable price based on what I saw others doing while also bumping it up a little so I charge based on what I’m good at (sort of “making up for” the fact that I don’t do developmental edits, which are generally a little more expensive). But it looks like I got the balance…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver Ah. I think I was underestimating how many fewer pages a novella can be. XD And also working off of my own pricing, which I might need to adjust down a little bit. I haven’t worked with her yet, but she’s tops on my list for this next book. I’d be curious what she says on the line vs. content editing front, if you’d like to share…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver That looks really low for an editor. What type of edits are you looking at?

And your cover price looks high. Poole Publishing makes good-looking covers (depending to some degree on the genre, it looks like) for $150 at the most expensive. A $400-$600 cover might give you more of a quality guarantee, but you can go cheaper without…[Read more]
