Emma Flournoy replied to the topic This Synopsis Thing Needs Critiquing in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 7 years ago
@Ethryndal I LOVE IT. O.o Now I have to pick which version is the best. Yay. I like the first one best, with the phrasing of all the stuff, but as you’ve already been told and are fixing, it’s too long and gives away too much information. Sooo…
I think I like the first one in your latest post best, but with these differences: keep this version…[Read more]

@Ethryndal Yo, look at this. https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/how-to-write-funny/ I dunno. Just because. XD Was it really as bad as your first impression? I mean, is there any possibility it would be better upon second watching?

@Dragon-Snapper LOTR and Hobbit gifs are good things. Especially concerning food.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too! Be thankful this day that the supply of virtual chairs is unlimited. Ahem.

*pokes head in* I LIVE.
I’ll be writing, though I probably won’t say very much as I’m a little busy today so I’ll be focusing on wording. 😀

@0-0enyali0-0 As Dekreel said, focus on the characters rather than the fight and that’ll make the scene that much better.
I can’t recommend research enough. Learn as much as you possibly can about the method of fighting that you’re using. The more you know, the easier the fight scenes will become to write.

Jane Maree replied to the topic Hole in my Plot in the forum Plotting 7 years ago
@Dekreel everyone else has some good ideas, and I second theirs. Basically, if you can bring in a side plot or throw in another antagonist to add more conflict and higher stakes it’ll keep your middle going strong.

@Shannon Welp, that does make sense. Glad to be of some service. 😉

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Jewelry Business Name in the forum Art 7 years ago
@Shannon Eh, I’m too late. 😀 I was going to say though, I like the name a lot, but from seeing your jewelry I wouldn’t automatically think ‘Texas’; the name Texas Trinkets puts in my mind more kinda Western styles than what you do. So it doesn’t quite seem to fit all the stuff you do. I’m not saying change the name, but I was going to put it out…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 Oooh nice! Dieselpunk is so fun to write in, and that concept of three islands all different realms–SO COOL. Do the medieval and dieselpunk worlds have any technology from the futuristic one/from each other? It would make sense for that a little. What’s the politics like?

@Shannon Unfortunately I, also, am not the best at coming up with names. Your jewelry pieces are beautiful though.
Let’s see. Um… all I’m coming up with sounds quite insipid, and the only other thing is ‘On Wings of Song’ which is a Mendelssohn piece of music and doesn’t even WORK for what you’re asking and I can’t get it out of my head to…[Read more]

@Sam-Kowal Yup, I like to study things too. Studying things is good. *nod*
Oh yeah, sort of. ;P
Unless your family is just as crazy as you are. And even in which case, you’d still rather be alone when you break down. XD
HA, exactly! A titanium steamroller. That’s perfect. No, neither Sanderson nor Hugo are kind to their characters.
But that’s…[Read more]

WHY DOES EVERYONE LOVE IT SO MUCH??? *pulls hair* I swear, it wasn’t just a picky first impression. *freaks out* It wasn’t. IT WASN’T! I’m generally the less picky one in our family, to be honest, but we ALL (even dad, who doesn’t give a hoot for story structure) thought it was bad.
Arg.
Granted, it wasn’t ALL horrible. There are a lot of things…[Read more]

Being the supportive friend that I am, I find this all quite hilarious. What’s good at this point is, since I haven’t seen it, I happily can’t disagree with you. 😀 So I’ll take your word for it. *best Edmund accent* “Wul, I believe you.”
*stares* “You do?”

Just… just… MEAN. *pathetic sniffling* You don’t care about me.
Do be aware though that Edmund was totally wrong in that scene, since there actually WAS a land in the wardrobe, so you’re not really promoting your case any.
See who’s smirking now. *smirks*
*is horribly defensive* I DO SO! *pathetic sniffling*
*smirks* Of course. Edmund is usually totally wrong. Until we see him in Prince Caspian, and then he’s one of the only right ones. And then we get to VotDT, and he’s mostly wrong again. Blergh.
But YOU must be aware that that first smirk was Edmund’s, not mine. His necessary smirk for the…[Read more]
