Chapter 11! I’m not totally decided if I’ll completely reduce down to one a week in the future, so you may get a few surprise double chapters, but this week there’s only one.

Also, TCoH has become my longest project at just over 33k words and about 100 W…[Read more]

Yay for spring and positive temperatures! But I’m sure somewhere in Canada there’s still snow on the ground. 😉

Outlining, fun. Or not fun. I hope it goes well.

@linus-smallprint

Oh, I get it. I thought Quinton was the name.

Okay….. hmm. This’ll be interesting. Your grandmother is a woman of good taste when it comes to names if I do say so myself.

If Kleins and Roland aren’t important to the story anymore, spending too much time with them may only make the reader disappointed when they are left b…

@linus-smallprint

Uh…. not really. It’s kind of a mess.

So wait, how many brothers are there. I got Julian, Roland, Adrian, and Quinton, (almost because I had a Quin)

Are there two or three more?

I was kind of surprised that Leon and Julian are headed out since for both of the previous books, the protagonists just ended up staying with…

HELLO EVERYONE!!!! I’M BACK!!!!!!!!

I survived– barely, and am well and alive– sort of.

(Came down with a nasty cold the minute I got home. Ugh.)

Anyhow, it’s so good to be back!! I have the next section, and I may post another today as well. I hav…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Don’t have the boys be eaten unless you want to deal with a traumatized Martha. A girl doesn’t watch her friends get swallowed by stone dragons and continue on perfectly fine.

What if there was some sort of earthquake? I believe Martha was on Alan’s horse a bit before? If she’s still on it and there’s an earthquake or something…[Read more]

@theducktator @stephie @ellette-giselle @liberty (How is your KP fanfic coming along? Have you worked on it? I eagerly await the next section) @highscribeofaetherium @whalekeeper @power @koshka @elishavet-pidyon @raxforge @rae @jonas @loopylin @esther-c @linus-smallprint

10 snowballs at each of you! That’s 500 words, and I expect to be s…[Read more]

Overarching Theme. […] What are your thoughts?

This looks good. I’ll note, I feel a bit of a blur between books. (You’re still in the outlining phase so that’s fine.) It’s great that you have his story divided into three areas of growth, but because they’re very similar when it comes to the actions Alan has to take, you need…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Who is James? (I think I want him to be someone who is laid back and jokes around a lot, but occasionally has a moment where he shows surprising wisdom.

oh. That’s not at all how I pictured him.

idk if this is a good idea, but I pictured him as quieter and much more thoughtful. Someone who is constantly watching and l…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

Sounds good!

@linus-smallprint

It looks good to me! (But I’m not a huge outliner as previously stated.)

so, does this mean you’re gonna start posting chapters?! 😃

@linus-smallprint

Thank you!!

@rae

Thanks for the article! Unfortunately I’m not very good at fight scenes either, so I won’t be much help. 🙁

@linus-smallprint

glad I could be of some help!

oh, that makes sense. 😄

@linus-smallprint

good work!!

wait… your hand cramps from writing? Mine never did that. I thought it was a myth.

but I also thought unions burning peoples eyes was a myth until my friend and I were cooking stir fry and she started tearing up really bad while cutting them. 🤣

@linus-smallprint

oh my goodness. She’s a horrible mother. 😂

(and I feel bad for laughing)

I was actually thinking about the magic. It seems to be thought based. Like yours. At first it seems emotion based, but then when I rewatched “let it go” to see if I was right, it seems more thought based. Whatever it is, we aren’t told how she’s c…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

I had a feeling I needed to hear this. Thank you for the advice, I really do need to listen to it. I’m a bit of a perfectionist so it’s going to be hard to post stuff as it is, but thank you again.

@ellette-giselle

Linus is 💯 correct. Plus, the more you pause the more you lose your flow. For me, I turn off autocorrect and gra…

@linus-smallprint

Do you ever have that problem?

Oh yeah, all the time. I’d say to write it down anyway, because there is always some reason why you had the idea in the first place.

Every idea has a nugget of interest behind it, and if you feel some appeal despite knowing it won’t work, write it down. Then think about why it appealed to you…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

hey, weird question. I was thinking about your magic system……

have you ever seen Frozen?
(I wouldn’t recommend the movie, but I have seen it before and I was thinking about something in reference to it.)
