A lot of those are on my tbr list. Now that I see you also recommend then I am even more looking forward to reading them!

@madelyn

That’s really interesting! I never thought there was a ‘first’ best selling book, but now thinking about it, of course there had to be one lol.

That’s really cool! Makes me even more interested in…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Yeah, Classic lit. feels so much more grounded. It also feels a bit more comfy and homey to read. I do really like fast paced books, but slow paced books like classics are so relaxing.

Do you have any favorite classics?

I haven’t dared venture back before the 1600’s ever since I read a bunch a books around that…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

That’s so cool!! I’ve read works by Nadine Brandes; she’s an EPIC writer. I’ll look into it; thanks for the link!

Thanks so much for the advice! Looks like I’ve got some research to do ;P

Can we get this up and running again with brand new lines from characters? I still don’t really have many….but maybe we can expand this to be lines of not just dialogue but just very short bits of our books?

@power

That’s really cool!

Of course, putting you into the world to pretty cool, but letting you naturally fall into stories in your own way instead of forcing you is also really cool.

Was there a particular audiobook that you found that made you interested in listening to more?

@r-m-archer

Haha, yeah pseudonyms are a great chance to have the name you always wished was yours lol.

Also, I really like the meaning behind your name archer! It constantly gives you the reminder of what you are aiming towards. Plus, it sounds cool which is a bonus.

@lavenderbookling

I 100% agree with you about it being so much easier being…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Thanks for helping me understand a bit better!

Also, sorry if I sounded a bit “un-gracious” there, but I guess what I meant wasn’t anything against the author, but the story. (I’m also a terrible writer, and it would indeed be bad news for me if the notion of improvement didn’t exist). So to rephrase: If the characters, world, an…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Yes. I actually have quit writing before. I just thought I was never going to measure up as a writer on my own, since I’m always so harsh on my own work. I lose faith in it and just hate it and then delete it or abandon it entirely. That had been going on for about seven years before I tentatively stepped into writing again last…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Ah, yeah. I think we’ve all have written stories all too similar to the traits you described.

Out of all the things lacking in House of Mages, what area do you think you’ve improved the most in writing since then?

@anatra23
Haha, that’s hilarious. It kinda reminds me of the first story I wrote which was literally just the story of…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

House of Mages actually sounds pretty cool. What was wrong with that made you not go through with publication?

@devastate-lasting

Woah, that’s a cool idea. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of an idea like that. It sounds like a tricky story to write, but you should totally try going back to that story when you have the…[Read more]

@r-m-archer has a point too. Just because the author had one or two trashy books or even a whole trashy series doesn’t mean he can’t improve. (When I say “trashy,” I mean clichés, bad writing style and underdeveloped plot/characters/events. I don’t mean explicit content or bad teaching/morals.)

@devastate-lasting
True. Where do all those Eastern Dragons be tho?

@trahia-the-minstrel

True. True. I actually liked the three introductions when I first read it too. I thought it was a deliberate poke at all the fantasy clichés. I hoped the story would be a somewhat fun yet heartfelt parody of the common fantasy stories. However, the rest of…[Read more]

THANK YOU!
