Elfwing started the topic Self publish… HEEEELP in the forum Publishing & Platform 2 years, 3 months ago
Hello all, the infamous Elfwing returns after long dormancy in writer burnout to ask an important question…
I want to self-publish. this isn’t an out of the blue thing, I’ve been looking into it off and on for a year or so.
I’ve been working on my novels for over 3 years and edging closer to a satisfactory disasterpiece that people so far have…[Read more]

Oohhh yes. I love these 🙂
This is a (semi generic) development template I was sent a while back, and the primary one I use now.
I do wish some of the ones I use now had more into their personality, like MBTI questions and such.
Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for your advice!
So far I’m sticking with one POV (third person limited).
No worries! That makes perfect sense!! I find it challenging to combine already written characters but I guess I’ll just have to brainstorm some more and then do some crunching of characters:)God bless!

I don’t think we have met, but it’s wonderful to meet you!!
Thank you for helping me out! I appreciate your input, it was very helpful! I think most my characters do serve a purpose but it may be a matter of combining them.
God bless!

Woah, how did you find it? There must have been some runaway link somewhere or something lol.
You didn’t miss it, you found it early! 😂 I’m still finishing up all the details of the shop, but the merch will be officially out very soon!

Mary G started the topic How Many is too many Character!?!?!?! in the forum Characters 2 years, 3 months ago
Hey! I hope everyone is having a great summer!
I have a quick question: Can you have too many character in a novel?
So I decided to do a Carrie count because in the last year there have been a lot of uninvited but intriguing character barging in on my WIP.
I have 34 named characters!! Is that too many. Not all of them are in the same chapters…[Read more] -
Mary G replied to the topic Really struggling with opening chapters… in the forum Plotting 2 years, 3 months ago
Hi Joy!
I’m struggling with that too. The one thing that helped me was using the Save The Cat beat sheet. Then evaluating each scene and asking myself is it necessary or not. I also condensed a couple scenes to move it along faster.
I attached an outline I would fill out for each scene to see whether the scene was w…[Read more]

@lrose5 As long as you haven’t given them your credit card information I think you can wait until your trial’s about to end and then downgrade. You should be fine, they ought to send you emails about it.

@lrose5 Oof I see..I think I ran into the same problem, lol. Google says, and I quote: “In the Billing tab of your ‘Account Settings’, click the Downgrade button.” Try that?

@freedomwriter76 Thanks! I haven’t been as active lately so I don’t have any tag chunks to work with, lol.
@lrose5 Ah, nice. I don’t like blogging so I really only do newsletters as my minimal part of marketing, lol. Highly recommend ConvertKit, it’s really easy to use, and then I just send one out at the end of every month detailing what I’ve done, etc.

@freedomwriter76 Hehe thanks. I have used the name Elias several times, lol.
@lrose5 Ah thank you! (Ngl these two appear probably the least in the whole work) but I’ll do my best to develop them in the second draft (whenever that is)

That’s great! I enjoy writing free verse poetry and occasionally standard poetry, but I mostly do creative writing. 🙂
Ah, wonderful choice!!! I love fantasy, too, especially C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien’s work. XD
Oooo, I’ve heard a lot of good things about Keefe! I’ve actually never read KOTLC, but a lot of my friends enjoy it. :)…[Read more]
