@linus-smallprint

Last I counted I was at 69 full length novel drafts.

Yeah, I do four drafts, then share, then do more.

It’s how I write so fast. Most people I know do the steps of draft 1-4 while they are writing, which tends to slow them down and cause them to lose interest.

@linus-smallprint

Oh this is really cool!

You should try it with the cover!

@linus-smallprint

However, one this is one thing I know of that does help me. I find that something that motivates me is having people share it with me and give me some thoughts right away.

My first draft, as it is, is very undecipherable. However I am comfortable sharing things with my little sister and I’ll keep this in mind.

 Keep in mind…

@linus-smallprint Looks good!! You can definitely scan a drawing in, although you may want to do some research to make sure it translates smoothly to digital.

@linus-smallprint Awesome cover! And Ellette is right–most drawing programs I know allow you to add a picture to your canvas and trace over it. I’ve done it lots of times.

@linus-smallprint

I do like your art style. Is this a character from one of your WIPs?

Thanks!

Not yet, but I would love to turn it into a story. Maybe some sort of dark fairytale/ redwall kind of thing. I’ve been thinking about it a lot. No solid ideas, though.

@linus-smallprint

Hmm. Okay. I think I can try to throw in one of Joseph before the Sabina one. I really like the feel it has.

Yes. Lol. This is Joseph as a child.

Hmm, Okay. I’ll try to finish it up today, and I’ll sketch out the other options as well so that you can have a look.

@linus-smallprint

Thanks!

Um… I’m not sure. I had in my notes that I needed a drawing with Joseph comforting Eric, but now I have to look through the book and actually find said scene. XD

Two questions:

Do you think the one with Sabina at the grave could be worked in as her memory/recap when she’s in the bedroom, or does it seem out of…[Read more]

Here is my expertly made pronunciation guide:

That is the BEST pronunciation guide I’ve ever seen! lol

@loopylin

oh, i like it!

@linus-smallprint @ellette-giselle Thanks! I was trying to show how weird it was that the green that I was using was actually orange on the color wheel, lol

I haven’t finished the background yet. And yes, it’s a sheep in wolf’s clothing :]

@linus-smallprint

I LOVE that cover idea!!!!!

I wonder if you can scan that in and then go over it digitally. I bet you could.

@loopylin

Oh that;s awesome!

@linus-smallprint

oh my goodness.

That is so funny!!!!

@linus-smallprint

They might. In book 2, some characters will be travelling and will have to hunt for some food. Since deer is off the menu, hares, or other rabbit-like animals, will be a source of food to them.

Ahh, makes sense. Scratch the rabbit idea then.

(This is why we can be glad there are no human-animal hybrids in the real world)

lol yeah…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

*Immediate and instant cringe*

I hate sharing unfinished drawings. *sob*

I have a few more ideas for the Joseph in bed one. In fact, I started the face and arms of the next one, but that’s about it. I am also going to attempt the temple. And I have a Beric standing one in mind….. and one of the boys playing. Not sure if…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

awesome!

@linus-smallprint okay, ideas!

• Arctic: This is cliche, but bears (with grizzly, polar, and black variants) would be cool. Or a semi-aquatic, fisherman race of seals.
• Asia: Red pandas, turtles, Asian elephants, or the flying dragon lizard might be cool.
• Oceans: This is gonna be hard if you want your creatures to retain some form of humanity.…
