Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Classic book Suggestions in the forum Book Discussions 8 years, 7 months ago
@SeekJustice YAYYYY! Unabridged? That was a pretty fast read! It took me about three months or more. I’m notoriously slow though. 😛 It’s really a brilliant page-turner though, even with all the historical and social interludes. Which were interesting in their own right as well, even though they kept you from the story longer.
SO glad you…[Read more] -
Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Title for my story in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 7 months ago
@Daeus I’m going to be really helpful and say I love Fools in the Darkness. I LOVE that thematic tie-in, and it does sound intriguing as a title. I don’t, however, know that it has enough to do with the overall theme, like Kate said… So I really like Key to the Future as well, which has more significance, though it doesn’t sound quite as intriguing.

@Mariposa Ha! I hadn’t even seen it from that angle, but that’s great. I agree.
And YES. I LOVE THAT. Randall’s a pretty good villain… -

OH and something else too—the Meet the Staff page. (That’s always been one of my favorite pages. 😀 )
The way it’s formatted now though makes it a little harder to navigate comfortably; with the bios side by side like that instead of all descending makes it so you have to go up and down and back and forth and stuff. It was lots easier to just…[Read more] -

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise Heheh. 😀
@Daeus I thought so.
@Dragon-Snapper A KP conference would be absolutely amazing. As long as I could come. XDOh and @Aratrea, I don’t know if this is new or if I just didn’t notice it before, but the forum search option is w.o.n.d.e.r.f.u.l. SO convenient. The categorization of site content on the side,…[Read more]

Corissa Maiden of Praise replied to the topic Title for my story in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 7 months ago
Of those three, Fools in the Darkness is definitely the most intriguing. I’d actually say I like it best of anything else suggested so far; it’s enticingly enigmatic, and (from the perspective of someone who hasn’t read the book 😉 ) it grabs my attention and makes me want to read it.
So when can I expect it to be published? XD -
Corissa Maiden of Praise replied to the topic Character/Fiction inspired Typography/Art in the forum Art 8 years, 7 months ago
@salome01w4g She’s actually pretty much based off of me, so… yeah. We must have a lot in common. ;P 🙂
@mariposa *laughs dryly* A title? Is that really so important? 😛
No, no title yet. It is the most difficult book I’ve ever worked on as far as finding a title is concerned. -

@graciegirl Thanks! I have a lot of fun taking pictures and finding verses to go with them- and God has given so many opportunities to do so with His marvelous creation! 😀
@jane-maree THAT COLLAGE. *dies* When can I read this book?!

@clairec But… I couldn’t really join in that debate, since I’m not on either side. I’m not adamantly against or adamantly for coffee. I’ll drink it every once in a while if I need to stay awake and study (not that it does much good ;P ), but I definitely prefer hot chocolate. Arctic White Hot Chocolate, to be exact. 😀

@seekjustice, ha ha! Siblings can be so distracting, can’t they? 😛 They can also be very useful for inspiration, though. 🙂 Thanks for writing with me.

I’m finishing now, @seekjustice. Actually, I finished about ten minutes ago, but I was busy starting a new topic. If you want to know more about my book, follow this link.
I wrote 600 words, but spent a while working on plot too, so overall I was pretty productive. How’d you go? -
ClaireC replied to the topic Book Length in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 7 months ago
Also, this is the book that I talked about (a long while ago!) in the ‘Novel Ideas’ section of the forum. I was just reading through all of your responses and realized that there was one thing that came through for everyone. “Are you mixing up history? / What do you mean by alternative historical fiction?” So here’s the answer. I’m not changing…[Read more]

Hey all, I’ve got a quick question.
What do you personally think is an average/good word count for a novel. Also, what are your own word counts?
I’ve estimated that mine will be somewhere between 80,000 and 100,000. It depends on how much I expand or cut out in the editing stage.
