@Daeus Have any idea how many copies you’ve sold?

Hello @Emerald-Flyer! You’re a dragon then? We have a few of those. *wiggles eyebrows*
Indeed, welcome to the bestistest place on the Internet. 😀 What kinda stuff do you like to write?

@Daeus Mostly what they said. Including the part about the emotional hook.
Also, about ‘written in a classical style’—not saying you should not say it’s classical style, but just the way it’s worded, that particular way, sounds too stiff or something. Too…normal, or something similar which I can’t think of the word for. 😛 Maybe it should be…[Read more]

@Winter-Rose @That_Writer_Girl_99 Yupper dupper. 🙂

@Jessi-Rae Hilariosity is a superb word. *solemn nod*

A story of action, adventure, and justice, written in a classical style.

@Daeus @His-Instrument me no likey. There’s no emotional hook.

@Winter-Rose awesome! Survival is always a good thing… ;P

@graciegirl Thanks for sharing! I’m glad this thread has encouraged you. 😀 😀 I love those verses! In Bible Bee this summer Hebrews 3 and 4 were some of the chapters/passages we studied (btw I qualified!!!) and so I recognized some of them. 😀

@Daeus I actually really, really, really prefer the first synopsis… *rueful smile*
When you say ‘make it clearer who it’s for’ are you talking about the target audience? If that’s the case, a more explicit (but still subtle) ‘mission statement’ might be all that’s required. Not knowing precisely what the underlying issue is, I would say is it…[Read more]

@Jessi-Rae yup. She’s sixteen, I’m eighteen. Though everybody thinks she’s older so… *shrugs**grins*

@Jesi-Rae yup. She’s sixteen, I’m eighteen. Though everybody thinks she’s older so… *shrugs**grins*

@Kate-Flournoy Pretty much. XD

Hey @Aislinn-Mollisong! I second Kate about your name. 😀 Regardless, it’s quite a neat one.

@Emma-Flournoy *smirks* You’ve been waiting your entire life to be able to say that, haven’t you? XD

@Jessi-Rae I have a lot of favorite movies too. What movie-watcher can help it?
Of those you listed I’ve seen the first three Pirates movies. They’re so hilarious.

(@Kate-Flournoy fyi we have at least three more INTPs than that. @I-J-Anderson, @R-J-Wordsmith, and @Alia. You’re welcome. Poor mortal human. XD)

@Jessi-Marie I have a lot of favorite movies too. What movie-watcher can help it?
Of those you listed I’ve seen the first three Pirates movies. They’re so hilarious.

@Jessi-Rae oh just pretty normal rhymey stuff. 😉 I like the poems that tell stories… or the ones that are almost like ballads. 😉 Not as good as I’d like to be, but I’ll keep practicing.

@Majerot Well everything counts. 😀

Welcome to the Kingdom @aislinn-mollisong! Can I ask, is that your real name? It sounds just fantasy-ish enough to make me wonder… *wink*
Yep, Rolena is the best.
What’s your favorite thing about writing?

Legends of Light, @kate-flournoy? *scratches head* I may have heard something about them somewhere… XD

Welcome, @jessi-rae! Fairy tales retellings and fantasy are quite fun. I’ve tried my hand at futuristic/dystopian type stories too, but I mainly stick to fantasy. I don’t have very many female protagonists, though. That’s going to change one…[Read more]
