😀 I sleep very nicely actually. Thanks to the soft bed that my characters don’t have. 😀
Yes, precious. *gollum gollum* It’s very nice, very nice. *gollum*

@winter-rose Ooh. Mechanical unicorns. That does sound cool!
Then I must not be a writer.
I keep the soft beds and chocolate for myself. Selfish, I know.
The story is called Regulation so far. I’ll see if it changes, but that’s that as of now. It’s a futuristic utopia.

@shannon Is it the aspect of magic that a lot of fantasy has? Because I know some Christians do have problems with that. I personally think magic is pretty cool, but it also depends what it entails, how dark it is, and who uses it and how.
But if you’re looking for fantasy to read that doesn’t have magic (or only the baddies use it) then C. S.…[Read more]

@winter-rose 😀 Hiya Frodo!
Er… A weird unicorn? For art?
I’m working on writing my new novel. Something bad is going to happen soon! Yay! Uh, I mean…uh. Oh no. That’s terrible. Poor MCs… *sorrynotsorry*

@shannon Fair enough. It can be creepy. 🙂 What about fantasy?

Okay, peeps, how’s this?
It is a well-accepted fact in the province of Reed that Fairy Godmothers do exist. You might even have one, if you meet all the requirements to be a Distressed Personage, or your father pays enough money. And if you’re lucky — really, truly lucky — you might be one of those rare few who are chosen at random to recei…[Read more]

@Ethryndal definitely better. I love it just how it is, but as Daeus mentioned, you might cut out the first bit about her step-sister without any damage and probably with benefits.

@ethryndal Like normal, I love the voice you use.
You might keep a long version like this for use on your blog, but if you’re going to use this on a sales page or book cover, yeah, it needs to be short.
You can probably make the point about her being heroine material shorter and cut out the part about her step-sister

Ethryndal replied to the topic This Synopsis Thing Needs Critiquing in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 9 months ago
Hmm… general consensus being it’s too long… *tugs nose* How do I go about this…
Okay, so I sheered the top bit off. Better? Worse? Still too long?
Biddle Frankenmore wasn’t exactly what you would call Heroine Material. She wasn’t beautiful. She couldn’t sing. She wasn’t in any particular sort of distress, besides the occasional tumble…[Read more]

@ethryndal *wiggles eyebrows* I wanna read it…although, I feel like I’ve just read the whole book. 😉 It is a tad too long, but that’s nothing a little editing can’t fix. 🙂

@sam-kowal I can see how it must be fun to have Stan as a dragon. 😉

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic This Synopsis Thing Needs Critiquing in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 9 months ago
@Ethryndal your sneaking suspicion is absolutely correct, but otherwise this is absolutely brilliant.
Seriously, and I almost forgave it for being too long because all of it was awesome. So yeah. It’s good. *vigorous nodding*

Heeeey…
So, I kinda wrote a synopsis for my outlined novel. (Yes, I haven’t even started writing the dumb thing yet, but I need a synopsis for… REASONS. *solemn nod* Plus, they’re handy things to have lying around. I’ll change what I have to when the book is finished. So.)
Having never written a synopsis (or anything even remotely resembling a sy…[Read more]
