@obrian-of-the-surface-world,

I’m so sorry, I’m glad she’s Home though, it’s hard to say goodbye even if they’re going to a better Place 💔💗💗💗

@obrian-of-the-surface-world,

I’m so sorry. *swoops in with chocolate milkshakes* Let me know if there’s anything I can do! (Also I admire your outlook on this – I think a lot of people forget that, for Christians, death means life.)`

@obrian-of-the-surface-world

Brian,

I’m so sorry about your mother, all of you will be in my prayers. <3

@obrian-of-the-surface-world

I’m so sorry, I promise I’ll pray for your mother and for you and all your family. And I can ask my mom to pray for you too, she’s formation director at the lay Carmelite Order so she’ll probably add you to the prayer requests there! I pray things get better for you soon <3 *hugs tightly*

Titles are just the worst arent they? I like yours @rose-colored-fancy, they’re more unique than most book titles. I literally walk into a book shop seeking great fantasy novels – and all I get are copycat titles. A court of this and that. The heir of this and that. Please people, at least try to be creative :/

My series itself is gonna have o…[Read more]

Hey guys! I’m considering uploading a recording of my WIP extract, but first I would love to know where you get the music and sounds. And what recording apps do you use?

Hi Brian, it was cool listening to this piece! I liked it!

1. Is there anything that stood out to you as intriguing about this scene?

There was quite a sense of impending doom, it was quite interesting since I was wondering if the harpies (?) were going to attack.

2. What would you say the mood was of this…

Sorry for the late reply!

First of all, I really like your titles! They’re really cool!

Find that short key concept for a unifier and that may help.

That’s a good idea, and I’ll definitely consider it! Though, I do notice it gets used more for series longer than three books. Trilogies usually have independent titles…[Read more]

Oh I do like those last few titles, I didn’t think you needed to change the title until I saw those, verrry nice!
I see everybody’s already noted the symbolic and plot-relevant angle for titles but another thing you might consider is looking up on Amazon your niche genre and get as niche-y and niche-y can be and look at the pattern for…[Read more]

Haha the extent of my knowledge on the Pirates of the Caribbean come from memes my best friend sent and joelle-stone’s series analyzing movies (although–via memes–my brother decided I was basically Jake Sparrow minus booze   )

LOL! Second-hand media XD Same, it’s the memes and short clips my best friend sends me XD I

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that’s the most gorgeous profile pic ever, @rose-colored-fancy!

uhhhh, lemmie see…I searched “free sound effects” and just kinda clicked every page that came up until I got free sound effects XDDD

Free Sounds Library is good, MixKit has a lot of options available without signing in anything…[Read more]
