Wow… I just made myself cry… Writing should come with a warning label…
Warning: Writing emotional scenes can be emotional.
lol. I posted it if you want to see it. It’s pretty raw off the press, so hopefully it’s clean of typos and errors…
oh, and Rose, I see what…[Read more]

I am so glad Rose joined in here. She has amazing worldbuilding skills with a cast of complex characters, and she also has a complex system of tribes and kingdoms. She will be such a great resource to you so I highly recommend getting her input. Rose is a great researcher as well, which builds confidence in her cr…

Yeah, you guessed it. I thought that was funny and almost sprayed my computer screen with the mouthful of java I was drinking when I read her blog post. Note to self: Joelle loathes coffee. 😂

Hi @rose-colored-glasses and @joelle-stone
Thank you so much for the warm welcome! and @brian-of-the-surface-world, too
by the way, how do I change the @ signature?
I have a nickname my students used to call me that I’ve been debating back and forth as to whether have it as my writing alias… Mr. Trip… Ever since, I’ve always thought Trip…[Read more]

Hi Jared (@jared-williams)
Man, that resonates with me as well! My Blog began as a kind of quasi-devotional using a loose fantasy story as a vehicle, but soon I learned that breaking the fourth wall, and attempting to use the first-person narrator didn’t really work and made the going difficult. The story needed to be front and center. Th…[Read more]

THANK YOU!!!! Yes, I’m going through the fairy tales. this one ends up looking a lot more like Robin hood than Cinderella, but…yeah. Of course you can read it. But it’s waiting in the wings, b/c I have a WIP (:<) and my runner-up is Sleeping Beauty. You could read the synopsis, though, lol. Here’s my email if you want it:

@joelle-stone Going better than usual, haha. Working on a lot of different projects right now.
You have any particular WIP you like?

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Talk room in the forum Fantasy Writers 4 years, 2 months ago
@joelle-stone Pfft, yeah, and then I disappear for so long no one ever tags me again.
How’s your writing going?

Hello folks! and by that I mean @joelle-stone and @crazywriter, since Denali is gone for Lent and I can’t see that anyone else is very active here:
How’s writing? How’s life?

Yayyy!!! Thank you so much!
That sounds great, do not overbook yourself!! I know you’re extremely busy, I just wanted to throw it out there XDYour thoughts are just what I want!

@joelle-stone
Hey Joelle!
I remember you asked to read “Gilded Blood” a while ago. I finished the second draft and I’m looking for another beta reader! I’d be absolutely delighted if you have time to give it a read, I’d really appreciate your feedback!
It’s about 90k long, and I want to start on the revision in June. (So there’s about two…[Read more]-
Firstly, YES I’M INTERESTED. Like incredibly interested. However, I’m overbooking myself (you know me XD) and have… uh… five or six things I told people I’d critique, not to mention my own WIPs and blog and whatnot. So I’d rather not give a definite answer as of right now (maybe in a couple of days…?), but I’m definitely on board if I can…[Read more]

Uh, I overbooked myself. XD Could you sign me up for summer, by any chance? That would be AWESOME.
Also, best of luck!

@joelle-stone
Don’t worry about it XDThat’s totally cool! I’ve done that too XD
That’s actually perfect! It’s taking me longer to write book 3 and I have some plotlines I want to change before I get book 1 to you, so this summer is ideal! Thank you so much, I’m so excited to share it with you!AND CONGRATULATIONS ON 100 FOLLOWERS I’M SO PROUD…[Read more]

Thanks for the response, Elena!
But I’ll just type stuff and see what happens…
That’s exactly what I’m wanting. Just random ideas you have that I can think on and make new ideas from. 🙂
Make the rebels the evil ones.
I’ve juggled around that idea myself–it is definitely something worth considering.
Take something that’s a normal trope…

Noah Cochran started the topic Dystopian Plot Ideas in the forum Plotting 4 years, 3 months ago
Alrighty y’all, I love the dystopian genre, and I’ve been wanting to begin plotting a series for a while now, but unique and fresh plot ideas have been escaping me.
I consider the defining features of a vast amount of dystopian novels to be what I call the Big Three:
- An oppressive and autocratic government that is usually lying to its people…

Hi Joelle!
I use “Audacity” to mix the tracks. I put the vocal layer on top. Then a sound effects layer, and finally the music score.
Audacity is free. I believe I posted a link…[somewhere] looks around…lifts a book…[shrugs]….”Nope, not under there…”
Anyway, I’ll find it and send it to you.Thank you for the input o…[Read more]

Erynne replied to the topic Audio Cinema in the forum Fantasy Writers 4 years, 3 months ago
Aw, thanks!! I shall recording chapter one tomorrow. It’s a pretty boring chapter but it explains the backstop of the world and introduces most of the important characters so it’s kind of necessary. I think. My alpha reader thinks it’s awful (thanks again, sis) but it’s still kind of important. I think. Isn’t that right @this-is-not-…[Read more]
