@alia That is just amazing. I’ll probably be almost sixteen by the time this book gets done….*sigh*

Its too bad I can’t buy it yet. Can you tell me what its about? What genre is it?

@kate-flournoy I felt it expressed my personality nicely.

Nice turtles. 😀

@Daeus yes! Much better; either of those would work very nicely.

@daeus Ahhhh….that makes so much sense now. Thank you! And great template things!

@aislinn-mollisong It’s from an old latin medical book and people just use it for filler.

@daeus what does Lorem ipsum doloris sit amet mean!??! I see that everywhere!

@kate-flournoy Ah, okay. Here are two more examples then.

Don’t ask me why the lines on #1 are short. I designed them a little longer.

@emily Well, tnelns are rock-eating lizards that live in Everly. I made them up.

Vessapedes, on the other hand….they’re from a decently written fantasy trilogy called The Vengekeep Prophecies and…they are not fun. At all. They are giant poison wormy things that like to eat people.

Not fun.

@dekreel @seekjustice @alia @catwing @dragonsnapper @emily @waterlily I’m here. I’m writing. And I’m actually getting some stuff done. Anyone else want to share in the joy of Writer’s Block Domination?

YAYAYAYAYAYAY! @charisetter THAT’S AMAZING!!! How does it feel to finish a book? I haven’t done it yet. What’s the book called and can I get it on Amazon?

(P.S. Please don’t murder Alia in your next book, treat her as your fan base. That’s what I’m doing with mine.)

@Daeus

Daeus here— I just took one of your templates and put rough lines where I was talking about. If you shrink the text inside those lines, it makes it very neat and tidy and leaves clean, empty edges to frame the quote and make it look complete.

@lifeofkatie Do you have an example of what you’re talking about. I can’t quite imagine it.

And, sure, I’d be interested to know what programs you use.

@kate-flournoy I’m not exactly sure what you mean. :/

I’m using Canva.

I did experiment with a border like you were talking about. Here are three designs. None of them are amazing, but I think…[Read more]

@dekreel yeah, she loves it now. She didn’t really care about my book until I used the voice recorder device I got for Christmas and made her an audiobook of what I have so far. Now she’s hooked.

Oh. Just saw that everyone’s gone because its Christmas. Oops. Well, I’m still on, if anyone’s here.

Ah, yes. The stubborn middle of a book. Makes you almost wish the middle didn’t comprise the whole story, doesn’t it? But. To business.

I struggled with this ONLY MONTHS AGO. But I’m pretty sure I have a rather decent strategy now. Here goes!

First, find really fun stuff. Such as, pirates, lava worms, vessapedes, snowstorms, volcanoes, Tnelns,…[Read more]

You know you are a writer when your sister draws your MCs and you aren’t sure if it’s fanart or concept art….

You know you are a writer when your sister is already planning the actors for your audiobook.

@dragon-snapper @dekreel @daughteroftheking @princessfoo Are you trying to take over the word again!!?? I SHALL SAVE THE WORLD!!! Aislinn…[Read more]

Hey, @jenwriter17! Nice to meet you! I’m Aislinn. So, you asked about Sci-Fi cliches? Well, I don’t write Sci-Fi, but I sure have met up with some cliches.

Along with what everyone else said, (because those are the most common and also most annoying ones) here are some that I’ve noticed.

– Giant Doomsday Device/Superweapon.

– Overused X’s and…[Read more]

@sam-kowal

Wow. I would totally buy that.
