Also, this is the book that I talked about (a long while ago!) in the ‘Novel Ideas’ section of the forum. I was just reading through all of your responses and realized that there was one thing that came through for everyone. “Are you mixing up history? / What do you mean by alternative historical fiction?” So here’s the answer. I’m not changing…[Read more]

Hey all, I’ve got a quick question.
What do you personally think is an average/good word count for a novel. Also, what are your own word counts?
I’ve estimated that mine will be somewhere between 80,000 and 100,000. It depends on how much I expand or cut out in the editing stage.

@f5a8c3e92, Welcome back. 🙂 The changes are very recent, having occurred only 2 days ago, and the party is still going on the ‘New Website Party!’ thread under ‘Announcements’, albeit it is a little quieter than it was. ;P Good luck with your writing!

@seekjustice, I’m working on my first draft of chapter 2 of my novel. I’m trying to get it into my mind to save the editing for later and just write. 😛

ClaireC replied to the topic Title for my story in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 7 months ago
@daeus, I’m not much of an authority on the time travel genre, but I find that ‘The Time Traveler Who Wasn’t Ready’ is a little clunky. It gives to much away to me (unless that’s what you’re going for). It depends on if your MC knows he’s a time traveler or if he discovers it at your key or inciting event. I haven’t read you’re book, so this may…[Read more]

@salome01w4g I feel ya. 😛 Honestly I stopped deliberately looking… if I see one that looks good I’ll grab it, but it’s rare that they’re ever perfect. XD

@salome01w4g mm. Yeah. Well, I don’t think you’re ever going to find a place that doesn’t have that risk, but I’ve found that Pinterest is generally a safer bet than just plain old google. I’d definitely recommend not extensively searching most stock photo sites (as a cover designer I learned that pretty quick *winces*) because just about anyone…[Read more]

@salome01w4g safely? As in, staying away from sites that might have harmful pictures and such?

@daughteroftheking, *severe glare* Yes of course there are other things. Like discussing how to eat all these things. How to make them, how to lose weight after eating them. Lots of things.
