Coralie replied to the topic Story Blurb in the forum Critiques 6 years, 10 months ago
@missfaeriekaiti Oh no! I hope you’re feeling better!!
@quinn-ofallon Ooh, Lynn makes a good point with that last line. I personally loved it cause it was exciting and drew me in, but perhaps you might consider something more open-ended that still has the same strong sway? Maybe like “But when everyone you trust is a liar, how can you find the…[Read more]

@missfaeriekaiti @graceabounds2129 and @happyholly_c Thanks for the congrats, guys! XD MY SISTER AND I GOT OUR BRIDESMAIDS DRESSES THIS WEEK! They came like a whole month early! So that’s super awesome!
Haha, I was supposed to post in the critique folder and totally forgot! I’ll see if I can scrounge something up this weekend! But, please, y’all…[Read more]

@quinn-ofallon Great suggestions! I kind of rotate between the sub-verb; clause, sub-verb; sub-verb, clause. Your suggested beginnings are all great! I use a lot of those, too. Thanks so much for sharing them!
@missfaeriekaiti Wow! What great examples! I struggle with the deep first/third perspectives, so these really help!! Starting sentences…[Read more]

So, it isn’t an excerpt? Is it just like flash fiction?

Coralie replied to the topic Story Blurb in the forum Critiques 6 years, 10 months ago
Okay, wow! First impression is when can I read this sucker?! It sounds fantastic! I’m intrigued by the storyline. The first line was a big hook, for sure. I loved that opening line and even the last line. It tied everything together really well. So, overall, it looks and sounds professional. I like it a lot!
I didn’t get a sci-fi, fantasy, or…[Read more]

What different forms do you use? Can you give a few examples? I’m looking to expand my repertoire XD

Coralie replied to the topic Read and Weep in the forum Critiques 6 years, 11 months ago
Oh! I’ve read this! Didn’t you bring this up to brainstorm for a prompt war? Cool!
I like it. I like the idea. It does need expanding a little, I think. I’d kind of like to know what happened to get him in this place and he definitely should have said something to his girl! Truthfully, I’d love the background on their relationship. This feels so…[Read more]

Okay, guys! Time for a discussion!
Recently, I’ve been juggling a novella challenge and the 100 for 100 challenge. I kind of left the novella challenge by the wayside, but not before writing around 23,000 words for one draft and 4-5 for another in a different pov. I also thought this would be a good chance to try my hand at first person, since my…[Read more]

So! I went to my first conference this year! I think I’ve already told some of you, but this is the conference space, so….*confetti* Yay! XD
Also, I am definitely going to find a way to attend Realm Makers next year because I have heard so many incredible things about it from so many people and on Instagram, too! They even had super cute…[Read more]

@graceabounds2129 Congrats to your sister! I actually totally understand. My brother is getting married in October and his sweet fiance asked my sister and I to be bridesmaids. She’s doing the planning, but it’s still been crazy on our end. I can’t imagine what all she’s doing!!
@missfaeriekaiti Oh, cool! I’ll look them up here in a minute and…[Read more]

Coralie replied to the topic Prompt war! in the forum Announcements 6 years, 11 months ago
Sorry, guys, I’ve been travelling a lot and I’m packing for a move in a few weeks, so I’m a little scattered at the moment! Keep tagging me though and I’ll jump in wherever I can whenever I can until I get moved and settled back down and can contribute more steadily!

Coralie commented on the post, Second Place Winner: Endbringer 6 years, 11 months ago
That opening! My literal reaction: “Ooh!” *engrossed reading*
I very much enjoyed the style with which this was written. The perspective of Death and the Endbringer’s character was so unique. I absolutely loved the fresh way to view the traditional “Grimm Reaper” character. I loved the tips and nods you took to how the character is typically…[Read more]
