I… may actually get some stuff written this week. Here’s hoping. 😀

Yessssssss.

For once I don’t have anything to add to the discussion. XD

@gabriellepollack I’m on it!

@msqueen8 oh wow! What a small world! 😛 Dear me, that’s hilarious. XD Yep, I’m still in the small stages of building a platform, and it’s been a challenge in a lot of ways, but it’s also been pretty fun and a very good learning experience. Can recommend. 😉

@gabriellepollack

I have this little nagging feeling that tells me I need to accomplish something big before I actually tell people I’m a writer so I seem legit.

Ouch.

@msqueen8 thanks, that’s great advice! I’ve prayed for it generally, but never before anticipated conversations. That’s a really good idea.

*slow grin* I. Likey.

Okay. *cracks knuckles* The big thing that’s standing out to me that we probably need to work on is Anthony. Not Anthony as a person, but Anthony as a story-thread. Most especially, I think we probably need to set him up as suicidal. Introduce that element as early as possible, to give the end maximum impact and also to…[Read more]

@Daeus-lamb ack ack ack, almost perfect. The last part is disjointed. Perhaps if you changed it to ‘The God of Manna has reigned for millennia and he does not take rebellion lightly… but the world needs a savior. And if Mortristan doesn’t find a way of escape, he will too.’

@daeus-lamb perfect.

@daeus-lamb will you be able to shoot for this, or shall I begin it?

@daeus-lamb I feel like you can probably take out the line about his father’s death. It’s a good hook, but it doesn’t carry over emotionally into the rest of the blurb.

It’s possible you may be trying to cover too much ground. You have three emotional threads running in your two paragraphs– his father’s legacy, his fiancee, and the broken…[Read more]
