Good idea, @daeus Annnnnd, I’m going to do it here just because.

What’s one word that describes your protagonist? Unbowed

What’s one word that describes your antagonist? Vengeful

What’s your protagonist’s lie? He must win on his own

Do you have any repeated phrases throughout the story? Not quotable ones

What swings the tide at the climax?…[Read more]

@anna-brie I know…those ones aren’t very good. But nothing is clicking.

@gretald The problem with Legend of the Shield was that I discovered it was actually the title of some comic series. 😉 And nothing just seems to be snapping. And the way my book’s theme has changed, The Final Clash really doesn’t fit anymore.

That’s a good point, @kate-fl…[Read more]

I find the ‘media side’ of the story interesting. The twisting of the story about different farmers and Snowball to make sure there is always someone everyone is upset with. Since the animals are given someone to blame, they don’t look closer to home at the real reason of their trials. And, through all the stories told about all the ‘enemies’ of…[Read more]

Or you can write short novellas on characters or give extra scenes or secret pages to those who have read your books and/or joined your newsletter. 😉

As for yelling, you must also use your mouth. And your hands cupped around your mouth. The mountain tops are best for getting your voice spread the furthers, or so I’ve heard. But since there are…[Read more]

I agree, though it is sad. That’s the problem I have with one of my WIPs (Scarlet Rose). I’ve too many subplots, some of which don’t really have to do with the main plot. And I’m going to have to go though and trim plenty of parts and figure out what to focus on and what to just let be part of a character.

@bluejay Nope, no state animal. I think states can have an animal if they want, but Indiana doesn’t have one.

@Bluejay Yes, Indiana! We have a state bird, the Cardinal. Our state flower is the Peony and our state tree is the Tulip Tree. We call ourselves Hoosiers…I’m not sure on the background of that name though.

Basketball is a big sport here; not that I’ve ever been interested. Also, there is the NASCAR 500 race down in Indianapolis. Also in…[Read more]

Ecclesiastes is a fascinating book. 😉 I like that verse, @kate-flournoy.

@writefury The Tangible might work.

And I like the idea of Silence too, @kate-flournoy. Or Rigid.

My summer project is a novella retelling Hansel and Gretel. I’m still in the planning stages though I’m hoping to get an outline figured out in the next week or so.

That’s pretty funny, @bluejay. 🙂

@overcomer Yes, dragons are fun. I like looking at snakes for facial inspiration. But mainly I look up pictures on pinterest or google. I’ve never tried getting enough details down to draw one though. But I did write an article last month about dragons which might give you some ideas. 🙂 You can read it here.

Thanks! No, I didn’t know about that.

@Hannah-C I’m so sorry. I think losing a story is even worse than getting rejected. That happened to me once; well, I’d backed-up fairly regularly so I only lost a few chapters but still…it was several days worth of work. And I discovered several other things I’d lost in the computer crash weeks or months later when I went looking for them. ;( I…[Read more]

@Emma-Flournoy, @kate-Flournoy *sits back and watches conversation with relish* I love it when sisters act like Joy and I.
