Joseph Darkgrate started the topic Poems I wrote. Opinions please. in the forum Poetry 8 years, 11 months ago
Hey guys, as a side project, I like to write poems when I can. And this area seems like the best place to show them off. I’ve never been really able to write really long ones, so I usually just spend ten to fifteen minutes writing shorter ones. A person from another forum I go to says I’m good at writing “thinking” poems. I’m not exactly sure what…[Read more]

I might have time tomorrow or after then. Where’s what you’ve written so far? I’ll help if I can.

Sounds pretty good. Maybe a bit.. short? I don’t know. But I think it’s better than the one before!

@raevynstar
I think you could do one of two things. You could go with what @daeus said and make her completely confident in herself…or you could make her doubt herself and her abilities. Maybe she’s really insecure and doesn’t quite know who she is. Anyway, just some thoughts. -

@raevynstar I wrestled through the same question when writing my second book. I think the key is to not make Fiona completely unlikeable. Give her some likeable traits and give the reader some hints that she’s eventually going to change. If you can also give her sympathetic motivations for her unsympathetic actions and show us what sort of things…[Read more]

Only two things really stood out to me…
1. As Kate said, mentioning Jerrold in that fashion makes him sound more important to the plot than actually was. I mean, he was a TON important to Trev’s character arc and the…[Read more] -

I have a question. You often see “limits
to words/letters. I saw that the maximum amount of 4,000 words for short stories. How can I tell if my story exceeds the limit or is too small? Is there some type of feature I can use? Other than that, I really have no idea what number of words I have. I use OneNote. -

Hey guys, I’m working on something to submit and this is the start. Tell me what you think!
“Tell me,” the man said, “what have you to say in your defense?” The questioner looked down at a young man no older than his own son. The younger looked up, the coarse dirt of his cell moving with him. “In defense of what, Inquisitor?” His cold blue eyes…[Read more]

Well, the version of a synopsis I know is a maximum of 10 page summary of a book that describes the plot, characters, message, world and the writer’s thoughts. Soooo… I assume these are slightly different things in Australia. That’s all.
That’s my definition of a synposis too…I mean, that’s a good reason for writer’s to hate…[Read more]

@daeus
Well, big thoughts is mainly that you should take out the last paragraph, because although you’re trying to appeal with struggles like that, people might not want to think of themselves as weak or cowardly, if you know what I mean. Maybe they know that subconsciously, but who wants to admit that they are a coward? I mean, a Christian might…[Read more] -

@daeus, do you mind if I try rewording your synopsis a bit? I just want to see if I could possibly word it better. (sorry, I’m like that)
