@daeus-lamb Cool topic!

Oddly enough, the world usually comes first for me. Generally just a rough area and time period that I can world build off of, and from there, I figure out what may be issues in that world.

Any kind of conflict or friction is generally a starting point. If there isn’t anything in particular, I might start from a cool…[Read more]
Arindown (Gracie) replied to the topic How do *you* write? in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years ago

@daeus-lamb This is a really cool subject.

I almost always come up with characters first. Being an artist, I usually visualize them first, and then move to personality, then base the character arc off of the personality. Almost all personalities have “weaknesses” that are easy to turn into flaws (like introverts struggling to get along with…[Read more]

Oh… @daeus-lamb I should probably tag you…

Sorry if this seems like an unnecessary question… It’s just been bothering me a lot recently.

Thanks!!

@kylie-wingfeather

Yeah, it’s just a piece of the books description on the back cover, but here’s a more clearer explanation especially for you (the first part of a book blurb I know you will recognize):

@daeus-lamb

Thank you for the detailed reply! I’ll definitely consider those points.
Taylor Clogston replied to the topic New book blurb – thoughts? in the forum Fantasy Writers 5 years, 4 months ago

@daeus-lamb Having read a previous draft, this sounds like a blurb for the second or third book in the series, not what I read. Unless you’ve changed the book in character, tone, and content to be at least three or four times more Mistborn-ish, I don’t see this actually describing the story.

@daeus-lamb

That sounds fantastic! Very intriguing! I love how you give away enough information that the reader has an idea of what it’s about, but you still keep it very mysterious, which makes the reader want to read it right then and there. Great job 😉

@daeus-lamb,

@daeus-lamb,

Ah, that might be it. The most recent post is from 2 months ago, and I wasn’t sure if that was a glitch on my end. 🙂

I subscribed by clicking the “Subscribe” button in the top-ish right-ish corner of the page right after you click on the Word Wars thread.
Joelle Stone replied to the topic Editing a Post in the forum Guidelines & FAQ 5 years, 4 months ago

@daeus-lamb,

Quick question. Are the Word Wars still going, and when do they normally start? I subscribed a few months ago and haven’t heard anything since. :/

That last line is just SO. AWESOME. 😃😃😃 (and yes, the rewrite is much better 👍😉)

Same thing is happening on my end.

I’m also having the same problem as Jasmine, and Mischievous Thwapling. But like Mischievous Thwapling said I can access only the groups I have posted in though “Engagements” in my profile.

Sorry to bother you, but I’m having the same problem as Jasmine.
Jasmine replied to the topic Forum and Guild Improvements in the forum Announcements 5 years, 4 months ago

Oop. Let me try that again…

@daeus-lamb

When I tap on “Fantasy writers” it takes me here. Is there something I’m missing?

@daeus-lamb

When will the forum be up and running again?
