@Daeus not a problem. I shall deduct fifteen minutes’ worth.

@Daeus did you mean till nine?
*dares*

Reposting this… cause I thought I posted it but it isn’t showing up. So of there end up being two of these posts, that is why.

@aratrea Hmm, yes. I think I remember that now. The last video I watched was on matching the character arc with the plot arc so that might have had something to do with it. Anyway, I reworked it. I’m pretty happy with…[Read more]

@aratrea Hmm, yes. I think I remember that now. The last video I watched was on matching the character arc with the plot arc so that might have had something to do with it. Anyway, I reworked it. I’m pretty happy with the disillusionment now, though I’m not quite sure how well the postive arc flows.

Round 1: The Disillusionment Arc

@rachelle Hmm, I don’t know. I mean, there are so many angles you can take. 😀 Amnesia is fun. I’d make sure you are showing the sinfulness of the characters before they start regaining their memories, though. It’s not the past/memories that make them sin, it is their heart.

As for the lost memory… let’s see. Random fun things: you could give…[Read more]

@overcomer Thanks. 🙂 Yes, I love so many things about Lord of the Rings, but the theme of hope is one of my favorite things. 🙂

@daeus hmm, well, don’t have to use itunes. I just use it because you can go down and change the story really easy and so get links for about a dozen different national stores/sites. I’m not sure how it works it other places or if you could use one Smashwords link for all of them. If you do, let me know how it goes. 🙂

This is a disillusionment arc which spans a trilogy. Or rather the first two books and the first quarter (probably) of the last book before shifting into a positive arc.

The MC’s experiment in living is that good will always win and victory over evil here on earth is inevitable so long as one gives their all to the fight. Her experiment in living…[Read more]

@Daeus First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is very exciting. 😀

Second of all, in regards to price matching, it is much quicker if you contact Amazon yourself. I tried alerting them through the thing you mentioned with my first novella and after I few weeks I was advised to contact them directly. It only took them a day or two to fix it after…[Read more]

@northerner *scowls* I’m hardly on here anymore. Sadly… Unless someone tags me, I don’t generally see it. But still… amnesia.

*grins and rubs hands*

@rachelle Not that I have much to add. It does seem like a cool idea. One I’d like to read. 😀

@Daeus Imma be super helpful here…

…

… what they said. XD

@Northerner ha! 😀 It may or may not have crossed my mind…

@daeus I like the sentence change. I do like @graciegirl‘s version too… So, yes. Not much help. Just general agreement…

@Daeus I think lingering works. Better than anything I could come up with.

Aaand… honestly I’m not sure. It’s a toss-up. Both of those work in different ways… So helpful, I know. 😛

Ladies and gentlemen, this is how we integrate theme and premise. Let’s have a round of applause.
*deafening applause*

@Rachelle I love it! Do it. Cliches aren’t cliches if they’re part of the theme and by extension necessary to the story.

Thanks so much guys @Hope @Audrey-Caylin @Kayla-Joy!

@R-J-Wordsmith sure thing. How about… pencils? *eyes twinkle*

@Daeus I like it! As Kate says… you were born to sell things. Writing about my book is one of my least favorite things. Can’t just writing the thing be enough? As for bittersweet, I looked it up int a thesaurus and it gave me poignant, nostalgic, affecting, touching, and sentimental. Not sure if any of those fit, but…

@his-instrument The Princess Bride! 😀 Fezzic to Westley.

Ha! Aaaand she already posted. 😀 I leave you in the hands of a dedicated fan, @His-Instrument. 😉
