Thank you for the suggestion. I use the ESV app mainly and occasionally go to the LSB. The problem is that sometimes I can’t remember a word, or I have it memorized in a different version. The ESV app at least requires you to be very precise in your search, no typos allowed. Perhaps I should try something that searches multiple…[Read more]

How about this one for a favourite quote?
“And then, Tress took the singular step that separated her from people in most stories. The act, it might be said, that defined her as a hero. She did something so incredible, I can barely express its majesty.
‘I should consider this more,’ Tress thought to herself, ‘and not jump to c… -

Oh my goodness I use AI lots, but only to generate text in the style of Shakespeare on the subject on “how to make a peanut butter sandwich” – @stephie
Nice! Now that is a fun use for AI. I got to try a Shakespearian peanut butter sandwich.
@trailblazer, going to God’s word is no doubt the best way to get the answer, and the internet is def…[Read more]

Intro:
Some might think Tress lives a rather dull life. Her home is on a rock in the middle of a deadly emerald sea. She has never left this island, but she does not plan to either. She is perfectly content to wash windows and collect tea cups sailors bring her. She…[Read more]

I’ve mentioned before that I am not great at naming, but if you are looking for a unique fantasy name, here is something I sometimes do. Think of a word that describes your character. You mentioned that she is dramatic, so you could use that as your starting point. Next, choose a couple of languages. I generally go for Latin, and…[Read more]

I have used AI a bit myself, for some of the things I have mentioned at the beginning. However, the more I do it, the less comfortable I feel about it. I’ve noticed that the stories can get very samey over time. I do still get curious, wondering if I put a chapter of my story in it, if it will be able to predict. For feedback, ChatGPT 3.5 cannot…[Read more]

Hello everyone,
We now live in the 21st century where AI is becoming a very normal thing. For us authors, we can use it to write and illustrate stories, give feedback on them, and help us to brainstorm ideas. I am curious to know what you all think about it. Is this something we should use, and to what extent? Does anyone have any stories to…[Read more]

Update:
I tried out Reedsy and quite liked it. I wish it let me do more with formatting, but I find it very convenient. Thank you again for sharing!

Oh no. You are asking the Author who came up with a whole fantasy race that is known for being terrible at naming. He then put them in charge so that he would not have to put much thought into the names of many characters and locations. They are a lion-like species known as lyens that take a word related to ‘lion’ and change the…[Read more]

Reedsy looks like an interesting tool. I will have to check it out. Thanks for sharing!

I can’t really help because I just store everything inside of my head and I haven’t reached the point where I needed an external tool.
Ha! Organization? Who has time for that? I leave everything up to…

@trailblazer, @theducktator, @theshadow, and @grcr.
Thank you for your ideas. I am seeing a recurring theme here. Use a notebook/document, and jot down the little things as they come up. Unfortunately, I am not a notetaker, but perhaps it is time I power through that and jot things down. (Which is kind of funny, because my user/pen name here…[Read more]

I guess I have dug myself into a hole here. Now, by telling you the name of the series, you will receive major spoilers for it unless you happen to have already read it. Oh well…
This is the Five Kingdoms series by Brandon Mull. It is a fantasy series written for 9-12-year-olds about a boy named Cole who dives into a fantasy world…[Read more]

Nice to meet you!
I will say, romance is not my area of interest and I have tried to avoid any romance in my books. (However, there are still two characters that I am suspicious would end up falling in love anyway.) However, that does not mean I have nothing to say to help you.
In the series I am currently reading, there is a…[Read more]

Hello everyone!
I am wondering if you have any tips or tools for keeping tools organised in your stories. In my current draft (the second one) I am working on, I am finding it hard to keep everything straight. How do you avoid contradicting yourself or forgetting about small things?

Hello Stephie, nice to meet you!
Your story sounds really good! I would love to read it someday.
Thank you! As I told Bridget/HighScribe, I will need beta readers once I am finished my second draft, and I will be asking for volunteers on here once I am ready. (Though that could be a ways away.)
Have you ever tried to catch a runaway…
