Oops @Ethryndal *ducks head* But I thought it was good she even had an idea, considering she’d had writer’s block for a long time?

And that’s true what you said about forcing names. I’ve never done that, but I’ve had to change names before, and let me tell you it was not fun. I referred to her as Lily for months after I changed it, just cuz it…[Read more]

@winter-rose Yep! That’s one of my favorites.

@aella I have a Dell and like it… I’m afraid I don’t have much to offer.

@S-G-Dewey hm, I’m best with wayyyy older names, but I shall see what I can think of… Francis. William. Laurence. Alexander. Oliver. Douglas. Richard. Martin. George.
I’ll let you know if I think of anything else…

And congratulations on defeating your writer’s block! *cheers*

Same here. For me, life IS the story, and since life without Christ is not complete, it stands to reason a story without Christ is not complete either. So it’s a matter of learning to see reality through the correct lens and put it down just as it is— death, life, despair, hope, sin, God, and everything! 😀

And I’m currently feeling like all my…[Read more]

@ethryndal C-3P0 from Star Wars
Okay, here’s one. 😀
“We’ll barbeque together! We’ll point at things together! We’ll team-build together! We’ll wear suits together!”

@audrey-caylin That’s awesome! Glad to hear that the lesson helped you so much!

One thing you could do with your story’s message is to expand it by offering a reason for hope (e.g. “There’s always a reason to hope because _______________”). It somewhat depends on what type of story you’re trying to write, as a reason isn’t strictly necessary,…[Read more]

@daeus, I’m so glad things are better now. Serious disagreements with your parents are so hard, for both parties involved, but resolutions are wonderful! Praise the LORD! 🙂
@bluejay, I’m glad you’re better. 🙂
@perfectfifths, stormy days are my favourites too. 🙂

I’m a little late on this, and I wasn’t tagged, but hopefully no one will mind if I butt in…
I personally don’t read books if they have any swearing or bad language in them. Sometimes a war novel, with soldiers, will have words that, although they aren’t swear words or using God’s name in vain, I would never use (And I’m pretty sure none of you…[Read more]

@Daeus I’m late, but the gold title definitely works better.

@Daeus Hm…it might. Wouldn’t hurt to try and see, at any rate. 😀 And the silver sword between would make a nice divider.

@Daeus *groans* Tell me about it. 😛

@Daeus I like the one with the gold title better, but if it could have a little darker sheen that would be great. 😀 The sheen on the silver title’s darker and shadowy-er and so shivery mysterious feeling, but like Rolena said, the gold stands out better.

if you have a 150,000 word novel, you should split it up into three 50,000 word novels

*turns bright green*
*screams*
Yah, we’re just gonna pretend we didn’t see that. 😛

I actually don’t know all that much about trilogies, not having dealt with one myself, but the one piece of advice that’s coming to mind is make the middle…[Read more]

@Daeus *tears at hair and wails to the night sky* I’m in the middle of this too and everything is such a mess right now… *draws deep breath* *calms self down*

Ok, firstly, if your book is ‘only’ 150,000 words I see no reason it can’t be one book. Especially if you plan on self-publishing. Authors are able to get away with longer books in…[Read more]

I almost forgot to sign off! I’m done, @ethryndal, @winter-rose, @dragon-snapper . I did a little story planning and research. 🙂

@overcomer @winter-rose I have to fly now, but I was able to write about 2 1/2 paper. Good luck to you two!

Alright, @dragon-snapper . I’ll be here for an uncertain amount of time too. 😉

@overcomer I’ll be here for an uncertain amount of time. If I suddenly fly off, you’ll know why.
