@dragon-snapper Yep, that was @hope alright! She’s a pretty good writer. 😉 😀

@graciegirl Some of the most interesting villains (and the most dangerous) are the ones who honestly believe what they are doing is right and they are willing to sacrifice for their convictions. A villain who is off for revenge is all very well. A villain who is fighting for something he loves will be even more dedicated. Plus it is heartbreaking…[Read more]

Josiah DeGraaf replied to the topic All about villains in the forum Characters 9 years, 4 months ago
@graciegirl The way I see it, there are three different approaches you can take with villains: the foil approach, the tempter approach, and the testing ground approach. The foil approach is basically what you mentioned above: make the villain a mirror of the protagonist, or sharing similar qualities to the protagonist. Another way of putting it is…[Read more]

@graciegirl Hmm…villains. *que maniacal laugh*
@corissa-maiden-of-praise Umm…didn’t @hope write the Shadows of Hersweald? 😛
Anyway, my favorite villains are the following.
Bevin Conner from the False Prince: He has a calm demeanor and is very cunning, and will do anything to get what he wants. He doesn’t like to get his hands dirty. Also,…[Read more] -

@dragon-snapper A novella is generally 20,000-35,000 words. Mine end up in the 30,000s, generally. 😉 You could easily get one done in a month. I wrote one in a week once… it was a bit crazy, but I got it done. And chapters depend. Mine average around 10-15.
I’ve heard it’s hard to traditionally publish a novella, but it’s pretty quick to…[Read more]

I don’t have the time right now to answer all your questions, but I will give you a quick list of some of my favorite villains, and I’ll try to think of a reason why I love each one! 😉
Ledroptha Curtain from the Mysterious Benedict Society- he’s an absolute genius who fits almost no cliche other than being power-hungry, which is simply a fact…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic Novellas in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 9 years, 4 months ago
@dragon-snapper You ought to be able to write one in about a month. Less if you’re dedicated. My novella was ten chapters and 20,000-22,000 words — I can’t remember exactly.
Once you have your document totally ready, you can seriously publish it in like an hour. If you want to do a paperback too, that’s a bit more work, but it’s not too bad.

Recently, I’ve had a bit of trouble getting back into the swing of writing, but then again, writing is hard. 😛
Anyway, I had a great idea today, however, the story would probably be pretty short, and I was just wondering if there was anything I should know about writing novellas? How long did it take you to write one? How many chapters? How many…[Read more] -

@daeus Hi, I know I’ve not been on in awhile but about an hour ago I shared a post and when I came back to check something it wasn’t there- it’s only showing up if I log in. Is it just processing, or did I do something wrong, or did the system goof? I did use the long tag list you made, is that messing it up or making it take extra time?

Oh, yeah, it does that. That number of tags will mark your post as spam. I’ll go fix that.
Hmm, it’s already showing up for me. Are you able to see it?
Okay, looks like it’s showing up now. It might have been something goofy with my computer, or it may have just taken a little longer. Thanks for checking into it!
