@elena-n Howdy Elena! I’m Noah, glad to have you!Nice! What are the plots and lengths of your two novels? Are you one of the voice actors as well for the audio drama? Or do you recruit people? What are three classics I should read?
For being a story about animals (usually not my fav), it’s actually pretty great–especially books one and two. The fight scenes at the end of both of the first two books are some of the best I have ever read. And they’re fought by rabbits–if human-like rabbits, but still. xD
That’s a very interesting plot, I like it. Did something inspire it or was it just one of those ideas that hit you? What’s your writing process? Do you outline much? I’ve written one practice novel–during which I learned a ton–and my first real novel. I’m currently revising it (a process I despise xD), and then I plan on starting on book 2 of the series. The series is called The Purging, and follows a group of people attempting unravel and stop a conspiracy of sorts in medieval Europe. (yes, yes, I need to work on my story descriptions)
I think they’re both about 20-30 k words? Not super long, but they were a start. The first one I wrote was called Daybreak, was a sci-fi fantasy…as in they originally had spaceships but still used swords and things like that. It was about an orphaned boy who was adopted by a evil dictator to be his heir, but is also chosen by this rebel group to use a power stone to defeat the dictator, which in the end he does, though the evil guy does turn into some fiery monster and flies away (for the sequel). The second one was called A Silver Pen, and it was about a girl and her brother who get sucked into a book and they have to defeat the villain to end the story and get back to their world. And of course there were a few plot twists and things like that.
I’m really bad at acting, so besides background characters I don’t act in my audio dramas. 😛 I recruit people who actually are good at acting, which is a lot of fun.
As for three classics, there are a lot of good ones… I would say Oliver Twist is really good, if you like mysteries kind of like Sherlock Holmes then there’s a series call The Father Brown Mysteries which is really interesting, The Princess and the Goblin is also an interesting fantasy story.I don’t normally like animal stories either, so The Green Ember was very good considering that. Yes, some of the early fight scenes are really well done. I really like Cloud Mountain.
I think it was just one of those ideas that just hit me. There might have been something that inspired it, but I’ve forgotten. I usually come up some basic ideas randomly, pick one that I like, develop who the characters are and what the plot will probably be about and start writing. I don’t really make outlines, I used to but they were basically useless because I’d forget about them and by the time I found them the characters had already directed the plot in an entirely different direction. XD
Your story sounds interesting. What kind of conspiracy is it?
