@Emerald-Flyer Fantasy is great (depending XD), and not everyone needs to write short stories too. Focus on the novels if that’s what you’re good at. 😀

@Daeus Have any idea how many copies you’ve sold?

@emerald-flyer Cool dragon. 🙂 May I assume you write fantasy?

@kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy Got it. I’ll try to come up with something better tomorrow.

Hello @Emerald-Flyer! You’re a dragon then? We have a few of those. *wiggles eyebrows*
Indeed, welcome to the bestistest place on the Internet. 😀 What kinda stuff do you like to write?

@Daeus Mostly what they said. Including the part about the emotional hook.
Also, about ‘written in a classical style’—not saying you should not say it’s classical style, but just the way it’s worded, that particular way, sounds too stiff or something. Too…normal, or something similar which I can’t think of the word for. 😛 Maybe it should be…[Read more]

@Winter-Rose @That_Writer_Girl_99 Yupper dupper. 🙂

@Jessi-Rae Hilariosity is a superb word. *solemn nod*

A story of action, adventure, and justice, written in a classical style.

@Daeus @His-Instrument me no likey. There’s no emotional hook.

@Winter-Rose awesome! Survival is always a good thing… ;P

@his-instrument I think attracting classical lovers is worth losing non classical lovers.

@his-instrument Thank. Those are great suggestions.

I do, though, need to have that one liner right at the beginning. The idea is that people have a three-second attention span. They won’t read the whole synopsis unless their attention is instantly piqued. Let me see if I can make the wording work.

A story of action, adventure, and justice,…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Yes, that’s certainly possible. When I read the new first line along with my old synopsis however, it didn’t seem to flow well. Perhaps that’s just me though. The reason I redid the general synopsis was because I wanted the first line of that paragraph to fit with the first line above it. Things kept changing from there.

@Daeus I actually really, really, really prefer the first synopsis… *rueful smile*
When you say ‘make it clearer who it’s for’ are you talking about the target audience? If that’s the case, a more explicit (but still subtle) ‘mission statement’ might be all that’s required. Not knowing precisely what the underlying issue is, I would say is it…[Read more]

@aislinn-mollisong Yay, you made it! I’m so excited you’re here!
As you can see, people here are super friendly and I know you’ll find lots of help for your trilogy. (which by the way, you never finished telling me about. I look forward to hearing all the little details next time I see you 😀 )

@Jessi-Rae yup. She’s sixteen, I’m eighteen. Though everybody thinks she’s older so… *shrugs**grins*

@Jesi-Rae yup. She’s sixteen, I’m eighteen. Though everybody thinks she’s older so… *shrugs**grins*

@Kate-Flournoy Pretty much. XD
