@dekreel Funny, because I haven’t seen it yet, yet I thought I should have known the quote. XD

@catwing lol, you made me a bird. XD I like this line: “Silence crept into the room, before scurrying noiselessly away.”

@allison-grace Probably coffee… Actually, I don’t know. Hot chocolate! XD

@dekreel Probably rock.

@dekreel @catwing I feel like I should know it!! XD

@His-Instrument Got it.

You know what, maybe you could just put two straight and fairly defined black lines down the sides of the one you fixed, about half an inch from the edge.

@Daeus hm… better-ish? I like the first re-do, but it isn’t perfect. What program are you using to put these together? Because putting in white boxes is like… as basic as the abcs…

@shannon Actually, I have not seen any of John Wayne’s movies. I just like the quote. XD

I guess I could do something like this: 

@kate-flournoy Okay, here’s what that could look like with a border. The problem with borders is that I can’t find any that are adjustable, so I have to find one that’s just the right size and look. Looking at this, I think it would look better with a border that encompassed the whole lower half. I could get a different banner/plate for the top…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy True. I was going to do something like that, but I couldn’t figure out how, so…I didn’t do anything like that. 😛

But I can do some sort of border. I’ll play with it.

@Daeus whooo, my eyes are crossing. 😛

None of these are particularly amazing in my very humble opinion, though I do think the second has potential. The biggest problem is the composition— there are no lines to define where graphic meets text, or to organize the whole thing for us so our eyes have to do as little bouncing around as…[Read more]

@introvert_girl @lifeofkatie @seekjustice @kate-flournoy

Okay, unless anybody think’s it’s a terrible idea, I’m planning to use this for a writing school I’m launching this coming year.

My general impression of Pinterest leads me to think that quotes are good to post there, so I thought I’d do some short writing tip graphics. To make it easy on…[Read more]

@his-instrument Another option is to add in an extra prologue or chapter in the beginning that has a very different tone just to give the reader something positive to latch onto.

@dekreel One thing I noticed is that most of your sentences are very similar in length. It would help to vary that up a bit. Have some run-on sentences and some normal and some very short.

@catwing Probably a dog (but for the record, I myself am a cat person 😉 )

@emily Science maybe.

@Dekreel I like it! Your portrayal of me is quite forbearing; in reality I’d probably be more cynical about the whole thing. XD But I’m happy that I’m in there! I liked the part about the letter from (or to, whichever it was) Aslan, too. 😉

@His-Instrument What they said. Exactly. 😉 If you still want someone to read the first few chapters, I could probably do that. If you still think it’s necessary. The premise really interests me at least, and I know already I wouldn’t put a book down just after that.
