I love simplistic covers, like this one:

This is the cover for the edition that I own, and I really like how simple it is, but how pretty.

@sam-kowal this was the cover for the edition of Steelheart I read, and I think it’s super cool

This one is nice too, simplistic, but mysterious and reflecting the feel of the book:

@rochellaine @sam-kowal @valtmy @supermonkey42 @ashlyvye

Thanks for the input! Great advice!!! I’ve been struggling over the cover of my book for a long time, but I think I have it figured out now 🙂

Oya, KaPeeFers! I’m WRITING!

Hopefully.

If I don’t get distracted.

Which I probably will.

Oh well.

@skredder That’s been one of my fears, that people wouldn’t stick around long enough to see her growth. But I’m glad to hear that seeing the character change helps to make them likable.

@sam-kowal That’s so interesting! I’ve heard about Likability, Proactivity and Competence before, but not Disability. I find that more compelling, actually. It…[Read more]

@mnvalentine I really don’t like covers that have the main character on them, because they never look the way I imagine them to. 🙂 I prefer simplistic covers that hint at a part of the story.

In my opinion, that’s a great cover. Also, @daeus ‘s Golden Ziggurat is especially good.

Something like The Way of Kings (see @sam-kowal ‘s post) w…[Read more]

@sam-kowal *is honored that you think me a hero in dragondom*

@sam-kowal

To Stan: No, I’m still a dragon. I can still melt chairs. This is just the human me. Worry not, Stan. We’re still dragon friends. *offers you a melted chair*

To Sam: 😛 (XD Still a dragon. Once a dragon, always a dragon.) I wrote 1144, so I’m signing out now. 🙂 Good luck on your new book!

@sam-kowal *nods* XD

Turns to Stan: Why aren’t you talking to Sam? I thought you two were best buds?

@sam-kowal *hands Stan cough medicine* Why, what’s wrong with him?

@sam-kowal Sweet! 😀 I should be on for another 20 minutes or so…

I’m super super sorry for the confusion. This is only the beginning of the poem, not it in its entirety. I haven’t a title for it yet, but its about friendship and eventually about saying goodbye.

@dekreel I’m glad you like it!

@rochellaine Yes, I should probably read it out loud and see how it flows. And I almost put “relating across worlds”,…[Read more]

@sam-kowal    Yes, I think we’re thinking of the same one.  I just know he’s produced many shows, and was on America’s Got Talent as a judge.

That’s a cool way to pronounce it!  I didn’t know they did that in Poland, that’s really interesting!

@sam-kowal Thanks. 😀

@rochellaine Oh yeah…. I tag @catwing

Poem prompt = An Empty Notebook.

@Sam-kowal oh good because I have a lot of stories but not all of them can be made to fit in a normal length chapter.

@dekreel @Sam-kowal great. Another question: does anyone find short chapters annoying? Like if its only two or three pages long.

@sam-kowal   Surprisingly, before Brandon Sanderson, I didn’t read much… I mean, I loved to read but none of them were really good books.

I do like The Little Princess (a classic,) Robinson Crusoe (another classic,) and… uhh… Yeah, that’s about all I can think of.

Two things:  Good job on the six-word story!   And did you notice your n…[Read more]
