@writerlexi1216

Thank you SO MUCH, Alexa! 😀 I got the cover done on ebooklaunch.com. 🙂

@joy-caroline I like to use Times New Romans or something similar like Baskerville maybe. I’m pretty basic. 🙂

@nova21 😍 *screaming* I’m so glad it came early! I love that it inspires you ❤️

Impulsum Press is my indie publishing company that I publish my books under. 🙂

@nova21 OH MY WORD I’M SO EXCITED!!!

@nova21 😱 WHAT IGNITE FANART?????

@joy-caroline

lol yeah I guess there’s that 😂

(AHH that makes me so happy! 😁 )

@joy-caroline
Ooh I like it! 😍 Since I haven’t written much fantasy, I’ll leave that up to others. But awesome job!

@writerlexi1216

I think, privacy reasons aside, I would only go for a pen name to disguise the fact that I was a woman, but as a couple of other people have said, that’s less of an issue than it used to be. For example, if I was to write YA that’s a female dominated area of publishing and being labeled as a Chelsea wouldn’t be a bad thing at all.…[Read more]

My secret is…that I don’t. I literally don’t, if I can help it *hides in shame*. I’m still trying to think of a name for the city in the last book I drafted. The book I’m currently writing has absolutely no names. The fantasy novel before last has a world literally called the Dreamland (though this has a meaning and significance…[Read more]

@ariel-f A lot of the time I try to put myself in the character’s shoes, or really get in their head. If I was that character, how would I feel if [fill in the blank] happened to me? Getting really deep into their internal conflict, backstories, lies they believe, their values, etc. really helps them come alive and connects them to both author and…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12
That’s so exciting! 😀 I think a home page, blog page, contact page, and a page for your WIPs is sufficient. That’s so awesome that you’re creating a website!

@nova21 I do like series set in the same world but aren’t necessarily connected. 👍🏽 But I think to achieve this successfully the world building has to be done really well and made interesting enough for the reader to stay in that world. In this kind of situation, I personally like it when the books are at least a little bit connected, even if it’s…[Read more]

@seekjustice @rochellaine @alia @godlyfantasy12 @nova21 @joy-caroline @gracie-j

Anyone on to chat? I’m just doing random author things. 🙂

@seekjustice Thanks for keeping this going! <3 I’ll be sure to hop on more often. 😉

@e-k-seaver I signed up yesterday! So excited! 😀

@kathleenramm

I must say that I go against the grain and like the powerful villains who don’t have sympathetic backstories and are just evil. Jadis is by far one of my favourite villains because she gives me such chills, particularly in The Magician’s Nephew in the city of Charn. Villains like Mother Gothel from Tangled who are powerful and com…[Read more]

@typewriter77

I think the right theme would emerge once you have a general idea of the characters and how the plot should go. For a short story, perhaps you might want to avoid some of the bigger themes which would require an entire novel to do justice (pun intended).

Since your story is to be a mystery/thriller, one idea that came to me is to…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Oh yes I love it when the antagonist and protagonist mirror each other thematically.

I like unexpected villains (e.g. killer being a child or sweet old lady). I’m also fascinated by villains that have unique and interesting motivations because the power-hungry, petty-jealous-rivalry, s…[Read more]
