Jess started the topic The Antihero in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 1 month ago
So,
(First of all, I’m back! 😀 )
The antihero.
I don’t know if there’s already been a discussion on this, but the antihero has always been an interesting character type to me. (I’m planning on using an antihero in my next story.)I was just thinking, what makes an antihero so interesting? What keeps the reader compelled to read his story? How…[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. 😀

@Northerner @Emma-flournoy Hey, y’all! I just emailed Emma this, but I need Northerner’s email. 😛 😀 As soon as I’ve got that, I can do the thing!

@graciegirl Oh, boy. That’s a terrible feeling. Yeah, don’t worry a bit. I like getting your critique. It takes a lot to offend me.
As for the corrections, I’ll have to give them some more thought. At the moment, I’m considering replacing the current last sentence with, “In a twist of fate, he is forced to confront the shattering of everything he…[Read more]

@northerner, How many words do your chapters average? Also, how many are there? This is my senior year so I’d need to give my schedule a quick check.

Ok, I’m back.
@kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy @northerner @hope @winter-rose @graciegirl.
So what do you think of lingering bittersweetness?
Also, instead of saying, “forced to confront everything he fights for shattered,” do you think it would be better to say, “forced to confront everything he fights for ruined”?

@Northerner Ha! Welp, now you know. 😛

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Call for beta readers in the forum Novel Critique Requests 9 years, 1 month ago
@Northerner Whoa you got back quickly. 😛 I guess I’ll just wait until Sarah is available. (Don’t you love how much we depend on you @Spradlin?)

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Call for beta readers in the forum Novel Critique Requests 9 years, 1 month ago
@Northerner I e-mailed, but I’ve gotten no return from Sarah or you as of yet…wondering if the transaction has taken place?
@Spradlin I need you!! 🙂 -
Daeus replied to the topic Book Description Opinions in the forum Novel Critique Requests 9 years, 1 month ago
@northerner Read it like, “confront everything he fights for being shattered.” I think most people have been fine with the wording, though a few have been confused by it. I don’t know. I’ll consider possibly changing it.

@northerner Good points.

Hi Everyone,
I’m working on my book description now and would like your opinion. The first paragraph is one I wrote a while ago and feel settled on, so I don’t think I’ll change anything there unless there’s a glaring error, but the second part is what I’d particularly like your help on. And…*controls explosive laughter* I totally flattered…[Read more]

@Northerner Okay…I’m not s’posed to post the link in a public place, so what should I do? Wait, I can probably e-mail Sarah (Community Happiness Director) and ask her to give you the address. I’ll go do that.

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Call for beta readers in the forum Novel Critique Requests 9 years, 1 month ago
@Northerner Yep, than makes sense. So, even if I notice spelling/grammar errors, should I not point them out?
I think I can manage this. I’m not familiar with working on Google Docs, so I may need some help learning the ropes, but it shouldn’t be too difficult.
Now you need my e-mail address, right? (Mom’s, ’cause I don’t have one. 😉 ) -
Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Call for beta readers in the forum Novel Critique Requests 9 years, 1 month ago
@Northerner That doesn’t sound too long…I’m thinking about it, but lemme make sure I understand the schedule better. So, you’d send the document, and then you’d like one chapter a week at least…so I’d make note in the document on anything I notice (in your post here it says not everything, but on your blog it said anything…which is best?),…[Read more]

@northerner Ah, I wish I could. Keep me in mind for the future since I always love beta reading, but at the moment I’m afraid I can’t add any more to my plate. 🙁

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Call for beta readers in the forum Novel Critique Requests 9 years, 1 month ago
@Northerner Approximately how long is it? Better tell me in page, not word, number—I’ll understand that better. 😉
