Anyone want to accompany a poor little wolf-woman who’s revising a complicated school essay? 😛

@supermonkey42 @sam-kowal What were your favorite Tree House books? I likes that magical saga about… Oh, it was a wand, and they were trying to find happiness for a magician (I forgot his name!) who lived in Camelot. And there were certain rules one had to follow in order for the wand to work.

@dekreel I was a reading monster when I was kid.
Ironically I didn’t really read that many kids books, I started with Harry Potter when I was 8, along with the Hobbit and then Eragon
When I was younger than that, I loved the Magic Treehouse. I mean LOVED them. Also, I read the Boxcar Children a little bit.
And also Narnia! How could I forget…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper You’ve already got loads of good tips so I probably can’t say much more, but all I can would say is, Yes 😀 😀
Totally have two villains, if you like
It can help make things a lot more interesting, although it can be harder to write both at once
If I were you, I really wouldn’t make one half one villain and then switch to…[Read more]

@supermonkey42 @alia @dragon-snapper @anyone-else — BEWARE
I don’t know how geeky you guys are, or how much you can stand it, but I wrote a nerdy version of “12 Days of Christmas” called “12 Days of Geek Christmas.” Anything I should add? Take off? Tweak?
On the 12th day of Christmas my Geek Friends gave to me…

Thanks for the input guys! 😀
@kate-flournoy @daeus I tagged Kate because I knew she wrote fantasy…I just didn’t stop to consider how long the fantasy was. 😉 My mistake. Haha.

Heya Kapeefers. This week seems to be the Snapper Invents Topics week.
Another question:
Can you have two villains? It kinda makes the plotline a little weird I know, but can you have, say, for the first half of a book there be one villain and the other half another villain? Or does that really just mess things up?

Joy replied to the topic Does it Have to be Long? in the forum Plotting 8 years, 9 months ago
@dragon-snapper Personally, I don’t think it really matters how long it is! The only limit here is your imagination, and, for what it’s worth, I doubt that your imagination could be an impediment to you 😉

Sam Kowal replied to the topic Does it Have to be Long? in the forum Plotting 8 years, 9 months ago
@aratrea 😀 Right. I think, along with the new uncertainty around the humans actually Invading Roshar and whether its right for them to be ruling most of the lands, that’s going to be a major thematic point at least for the first five books.
And Yep, that climax with Dalinar was pretty much equally as shiver-inducing as Kaladin’s… ‘You cannot…[Read more]

So, my suggestions
Cut out the repeated information) You mention three times I think that she rose up through the ranks and by eighteen was supervisor, and there are a lot of other things repeated over and over. Cut those out

@aratrea 😀 I know that book!
Oathbringer was pretty mind-blowing, I thought. I was supremely satisfied with Dalinar, although I was getting angry at him in his backstory… the only thing that felt unfinished to me was the (Oathbringer spoilers for anyone randomly reading) Adolin/Sadeas conflict, it felt like it was resolved much too easily, but…[Read more]

*sees you tagged @kate-flournoy*
*beams and then collapses*
I think Kate is doing a series that’s going to be, like, 5 million words. Or something like that, she said she had book 1 written and it was 500,000, so…
I don’t think there is a max, at all.
Besides what they can physically publish in a bonding, Brandon Sanderson’s…[Read more]
