I’m happy saying that I live in Australia, rural NSW because there is a lot of rural NSW so the chances of anyone tracking me down is quite slim.

Oh my word. XD True though. No one is going to scour all of rural NSW for you. XP

@Jenwriter17 Pen names are tricky…I personally gave up thinking of one and just went with my first na…[Read more]

@Jenwriter17 I basically second everything that Audrey said.

Getting people to read and know you and your blog is simply  a three step matter. (‘simply’ but not ‘simple’ XD)

1) Spend time on other blogs with similar content and styles to yours. Comment regularly, maybe guest post, just be present in the blogger community so that people know y…[Read more]

@Jenwriter17 As someone who writes and reads dystopian quite frequently, I think the main biggest cliche is “MC is a teen who leads a rebellion against the evil government and wins”

As Josiah said, I 10000% recommend reading into some of the good-ol’ dystopian novels like Fahrenheit 451 and the others he mentioned. Along with other more recent…[Read more]

@Daughteroftheking oh my wooooord yes. XD I was giggling through that entire section.

@Clairec If only….Unfortunately I was very private about my Prince-Seeking so I was hiding out in the back paddock when I did it. XD

@Daughteroftheking *strokes chin* No idea…

Ooh favourite characters? Hmm…Cody was pretty funny. Mizzy was good. Tia was pretty cool. David was also good (and his metaphors/similes are the most genius things ever XD)….I don’t know if I can pick.

@Catwing it’s hilarious. XD

@Catwing

Oh my word. XD

@Daughteroftheking oh my word yes isn’t it awesome?? *throws confetti*

@Sam-Kowal…to be entirely honest I don’t even remember what Mizzy’s power was. O-O

@Sam-Kowal

Don’t even talk to me about that chapter.

I’m still in feels denial.

XD

@Sam-Kowal Arghh yessss. I started Words of Radiance last night and so far I’m loving it too. *lots of flailing*

Kal, Shal, and Dal though. XD That cracked me up. Kal is definitely my favourite though. *hugs the precious bridgeboy* xP

@Jenwriter17 I concur with the others and say that 3 POVs is fine.

I’ve found a couple of posts on Helping Writers Become Authors that you might find helpful:

@Mariposa artwork would probably fit the bill too. Remember that you don’t have to stick with the one option forever. You can play around with every email you send out. 😛

@Daeus I’m curious that you say that. When I sent out my first newsletter I had no pictures or anything and the biggest lot of feedback I got was for “more photos and…[Read more]

@Mariposa I started up an email list last year, and I can confirm that the biggest incentive that got people signing up was having a cool giveaway. They had to sign up to enter the giveaway.

As for content, make sure there’s pictures. Aesthetic photos/photos of life/random pictures you’ve taken. They don’t have to be good quality, because…[Read more]

@SeekJustice well this is an interesting topic… XD

Okay so, I think everyone else has got some pretty good ideas. Personally I think an idea like euthanasia would be abused and executions would be said to the public to be “for the good of the people.” Think some sort of poison/drug injected directly into a vein that kills them in a few seconds.

@Sam-Kowal aw cool.

WELL PERFECT TIMING FOR THAT QUESTION. I actually just finished reading The Way of Kings a few days ago and I’m planning on starting Words of Radiance soon. I don’t normally read epic fantasy books so I was reluctant to try these ones but @Hope and my sisters ganged up and convinced me to give them a shot. And I’m absolutely…[Read more]

@Sam-Kowal hmm yes probably. It depends if it’s in a contemporary/dystopian/futuristic sort of setting.

SAME THOUGH. Agh. So epic.

Ooh yes yes that would be amazing. Have you read The Rithmatist?

@Clairec WELCOME BACK MY FELLOW AUSSIE! *Aussie waves*

@Catwing niiiight. See you in the future. 😀
