The book sounds interesting, though everyone has pretty much beat me to what I’d say… Experiments of some kind which are why the kids have the abilities they have. If you connect the abilities to one thing, that might be easier…have you read Michael Vey? The writing in some of the last books is awful, but the story itself is pretty good,…[Read more]

*shakes head* Promotion accepted, I guess.
The other day I posted a picture on twitter of my feet…I’d traced my veins I could see with a felted pen (I had a novella to rework and didn’t want to do it. It was only natural to turn my pen elsewhere) and got a reply ‘when you pick up a pen to write, but it’s all in vein’. I’m still not sure what I…[Read more]

Welcome, @luke-c! It’s the sad truth, @daeus is pretty much the only active writer on the male side here. Not sure how that happened… But as a female who tries to write from a male pov, it’s nice to be able to get input from other men and, anyway…here https://kingdompen.org/forums/topic/men-verses-woman/ *thrusts link at you* Daeus has been a…[Read more]

@Daeus I think the omniscient pov is one of the hardest to do. It can be done well but, like you said, it can be harder to create stronger characters. Another thing which can be hard and annoying if not done right in the omniscient view (I don’t know if your story does it or not; I just started…but some published books I’ve read do this) is the…[Read more]

A little late, but better late than never, so welcome, @Julia-r *Grins* *waves* cliches are fun…well, making fun of them is fun. I do that on my blog occasionally with the ‘real story’ of what villains or heroes really think. But it’s easier to make fun of them than to actually apply it in writing. 😉

@bluejay I’m a dragon, what would you expect? I’m a rare species of monstrous nightmare mixed with a night fury. 🙂
I’m allergic to B-calm tablets, doctor…can I take some Vitamin C (chocolate) and maybe Vitamin A-nger? -

Very funny @daeus … 😛 Unfortunately, dragons don’t keep pocket knives or wooden blocks. Our talons are our knives and wooden blocks are usually used for fire-breathing target practice…any other suggestions???
On note of writer’s block, I did terribly…I wrote a grand total of one sentence and ended up deleting 2,500 because I really, really…[Read more] -

@his-instrument I can’t generalize everyone and say for sure, but I know with my father and brothers, they are much more likely to try to figure out something like directions themselves, while us girls will stop and call home for directions, or would go ask someone much sooner than they would. I wouldn’t go so far as to say they hate asking for…[Read more]

Villain names tend to have v, x, r, or M…but not always. And I love s, t, e, and a names for a hero. Though, again, not always. It just…a sound to a name. It sounds strong and determined, like Ethaniel. ;D or Torin. Or it might sound playful, like Jathan.
And I do that too with so many of the names, @gretald, @kate-flournoy! There are…[Read more]
