Thanks. 🙂
My current story, Aquila, loosely under the Hero’s Journey plot type, I think.

Howdy friends,
This is to make sure you see the announcement. If this piques your interest but you aren’t sure if it’s for you, if you have any technical questions, untechnical questions, or general comments, I’ll be here to answer them.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Ghosts in Christian Literature in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years ago
I would tend to agree with @Daeus and @Mark-Kamibaya, though again I’ll disqualify myself by confessing I really haven’t given this much thought. It does seem to be a question of belief in God’s sovereignty though.
There is also this verse—
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who…

I have found what everyone has said here very useful. but I was wondering what every one thought about multiple POVs all in first person?

Daeus replied to the topic Book Cover Opinions #2 in the forum Art 8 years ago
@mark-kamibaya Do you think it’s because of the girl, or would it look that way even if I took the girl out and added something to make it look more literary or actiony?

Daeus replied to the topic Book Cover Opinions #2 in the forum Art 8 years ago
@mark-kamibaya Ahgh! That’s just what I don’t want!
@kate-flournoy Vampires. Ugh. That’s why I didn’t like the girl’s affect. You’re right. *grimaces*
So I’m gonna try to reimagine this cover. I like the guy, but maybe something else needs to change. Maybe even forget the guy? Who knows?
Now if any of you have any ideas, I’d gladly take them,…[Read more]

Ok, @kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy @dragon-snapper @ingrid @hope @jess @mark-kamibaya @his-instrument @anyone-else
Here’s take three. Tell me what you think.
Matthew is sworn to avenge a murder. His dedication to his wronged family is powerful enough to bring him through any trial, but his youth and inexperience hold him back. Setting out to find…[Read more]

@mark-kamibaya Now it’s my turn to apologize for not replying… *apologizes*
Right, so not liking romance is another part of my rebellion. “Join me and we can never watch romances again!” All the books in my age group, and sometimes under, are romances. Have romances. It makes me sick. Love triangles are terrible. I honestly don’t understand…[Read more] -

Little Brown Dog replied to the topic Help? Does this sound like a good idea? in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 1 month ago
@mark-kamibaya yeah. I always though that series was just weird. But the way my characters and their world is designed is nothing like Animorphs. Thank you though:)

@Mark-Kamibaya Ooh yes, Fahrenheit 451‘s beginning was amazing.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Attack this, please in the forum Novel Critique Requests 8 years, 1 month ago
@Daeus hm… maybe it’s not so much the wording or actual point that needs changing up, but the perspective? When you just describe the plot, @Mark-Kamibaya‘s right— it does mirror TCoMC very closely. But it’s not the plot that makes the story unique. No truly good story should have to stand only on its plot. That would be pathetic. *chuckles*…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic Attack this, please in the forum Novel Critique Requests 8 years, 1 month ago
@mark-kamibaya Well, it is kinda a revamped Monte Cristo, but I don’t think I’d say so. TCOMC is definitely the closest book I can think to it, but pretty much everything that happens is significantly different, the MCs are very different, and the last part is especially different. It’s just the overall feel of the novel which is very similar.…[Read more]

The only one I know of is the Hero’s Journey. I recently learned about that one. Could you explain the others?

This has nothing to do with catching trout. No, but it has to do with our hook. The first sentence, page, paragraph, chapter.
I’ve lost he fine art of coming up with a good hook, so, if you all have any tips, that would be most appreciated. In addition, if you have a book that has a great hook/starter sentence, then I would be glad to see those…[Read more] -
