K.M. Small started the topic Strategies Outlining Epic Fantasies/Giant Novels? in the forum Fantasy Writers 4 years, 4 months ago
So, I have a dilemma regarding my 200k epic fantasy novel that I’m hoping to get some thoughts on. But first, a little background:
I wrote the second draft of my epic fantasy last year. Rewrite might be a better word, since it was radically different from the first draft. I outlined most of it, though the plan for the second half of the book was…[Read more]

Oh I’ve looked at Audacity before! Thank you for telling me how to get those and how to edit well, I can’t wait to try it! (Although it may still take a bit with the getting a laptop and drivers’ ed XD). But now I have a good place to start and free is never bad :P! Thanks! <3

I just put in the following search string in YTube “Best Voice Recorder Apps For Android That Are Simple to Use”. The video has several options offer, but I would check to make sure the Apps listed are free to use.

That is probably what happened with one of my posts. I had wanted to put in a quote from something else and I think the form got tired of waiting on me to find it. 🙂
I did have two prior posts that were published disappear, but I think those were impacted by the server cut-over.
I guess I would have a correlated email somewhere…[Read more]

Hi friends!
Our word war champions have emerged. In a stunning victory, word war group #3 takes the lead with 14,577 words, group 2 following with 7,358, and group 1 strangely no-show.
The individual with the highest wordcount was @joelle-stone with 6,841 words!
Great job everyone who participated.

Congratulations, @joelle-stone!

Thx Dakota!! 😀 I’ve gotta say that word wars make it much easier to be motivated, heh heh. 🙂 How many did you get?
-
-
@joelle-stone 6,511. Yep, they’re motivating. 😉
-
6511?!? Wow, good job!!! Which team are you on, if I may ask?
-
-
@joelle-stone Thanks! And it’s Word War Group 2.

Sad! We’re not on the same team. Oh, well, at least we can still compete!! 😀

@joelle-stone Yep! And the next one isn’t too far off. 😉

Naiya Dyani replied to the topic Bringing facts and fiction together in the forum Research and Worldbuilding 5 years ago
I don’t have a lot I can say on this since I usually write fantasy (and yes, it’s possible that I do so for this very reason XD), but I do have an idea or two.
The first thing that came to mind was that you don’t need to include every detail or even every major part–in fact, you shouldn’t. How many people know all the details of 9/11…[Read more]

I don’t have any experience, or a lot of advice on author bio’s, but I think something that I find appeals to me is someone who is straight-forward, funny, and informative.

Arindown (Gracie) replied to the topic Using prompts or stealing ideas? in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 3 months ago
This is a really good question. For me, I think the main thing is to remember that there is no such thing as a totally new idea. Ideas are a little bit like matter. You can change them, but you can’t totally create or destroy them. Actually, the best authors you’ve read didn’t come up with everything from scratch. Tolkien didn’t invent…[Read more]
