@dragon-snapper I’ve no idea…next year, hopefully? Though I’ll be getting beta readers sometime this fall. Hopefully. 😉
@daeus I see what you mean. Thanks. (And yes, you want to read it! That is good, precious, yes it is. Wes very happy abouts that.)
@Ingrid And…yes. Always a typo somewhere. Thanks for catching it. 😉

I like the second one better, but they both work. I noticed just one thing.The name he is give appears nearly impossible to live up to, no matter what he sacrifices.
I’m assuming you meant “name he is GIVEN appears…” 😉

Welcome, welcome, @Anne-Swiftblade!
Narnia and Lord of the Rings? You’re my kind of girl!
Can’t wait to get to know you! -

A writer is someone who sets words to paper and perseveres at it, regardless of how widely published they are or not.
Beautifully put, @theliterarycrusader. I love you already. Welcome! 🙂

So, when does thing get published? 🙂 I love the idea of having a jester’s apprentice!
Just a few things; I like the second better. It is shorter and with less information, it makes me want to find out what happens.
Also, perhaps the prophecy could be on the first page of the book along with the bold. That way, it’s what the reader sees…[Read more] -

@kate-flournoy is not the only dragon on Kingdom. I am Dragon Snapper, (not a snapping dragon, btw) and I like mangoes. I know that Kate has a dragon pic, and I used to, but I changed it to a beautiful picture of some sort of pine tree.
I love LOTR and Narnia as well…but what is this Kingdom series you speak of? Pray tell, who…[Read more] -

I can’t stand bad writing either. There is only one or two authors who I will read despite somewhat choppy writing because I love their stuff so much. @theliterarycrusader
The War of the Realms might have slightly better writing than the Kingdom and Knight series. I own both those series and I love the stories, but the writing itself? I don’t…[Read more]

@Daeus That’s why one has to watch the movie before reading the book. Because they can enjoy it before realizing how much is left out. 😉 I really liked the movie though, from the bits of the book I do know, some things were made more exciting (action wise). And the ending was happier than the book too, I think. Also, one of my characters from…[Read more]

@anne-bria This is my longer blurb, for Amazon at least. It does look a bit too long for the back of a book, but for the Amazon description one wants to go longer rather than shorter. Or so I’ve heard.
@sarah-hoven I agree with you both about taking off the bolded…here’s a shorter blurb that I could put on the back of a book. I’ve used the…[Read more]

I laughed when I read your questions, @winter-rose . 🙂
How far into my book am I? I’d say my story is a lot like Battleship when you’ve got pins sporadically placed all over your gameboard but none of the ships are sunk yet so you know the battle’s only just beginning …
So…it’s kinda hard to track my progress at this point, but I have…[Read more]

I wrote 450 words or so.
I think I’m going to stop now as well, @kate-flournoy, I’ve been writing most of the day and now’s a good stopping point.

@Dragon-Snapper I would love to keep going, but I have some other projects I need to work on so I don’t think I can. 🙁 Nice writing with you even for a short time, though. 😀

Welcome, welcome, and thrice welcome, @Anne-Swiftblade!!! I dub thee Swiftblade the Messenger… or should it be assassin? Which do you prefer? 😛 I think the role of Messenger would better fit a KeePer… 😉
Anyway. I’m Kate. Hi. I’m also a dragon, as you can see by my profile pic. Welcome again. Can’t wait to see you around.
