@literatureforthelight That is SO AWESOME that you read it in Chinese- although it’s not surprising that that would affect comprehension :).

Parts of the story (some characters and sections of plot) are inspiring me to write a similar character in a similar situation, possibly resolved differently. My idea wouldn’t necessarily incorporate Chinese characters, culture or mythology.…[Read more]

I adore father-daughter (or father-son, mother-son, mother-daughter) relationships. I especially like it the father or mother isn’t their actual parent, but they act as a father or mother figure. I haven’t finished a project with this kind of relationship, but it crops up all the time in the stories I plan.

I’m not published, but marketing feels so nebulous and impossible- shouting into the void. Exactly.

@daeus-lamb Thanks for the resources!

Poetry is awesome. I’ve written some in the past, and I think that’s cool that you do too. I find it interesting that you wrote poetry first and then fantasy- most people go the other way around :).

I’m kind of brain dead tonight, otherwise I’d say more. Welcome, I hope I see you around!

Romance, huh? Your stories sound really fun! I have never really read or written romance as more than a subplot, but it sounds cool!

I’m Sarah. I’m a sci-fi writer and an INFP (one letter away!). If you ever have questions about grammar, character, story or physics, feel free to tag me. I’d love to help out.

This book was my main introduction to modern adult fantasy. As a writer, it mainly taught me not to glorify war. As a reader, it proved that yes, it’s possible for an ending to be even better than you hoped.

I guess I’m not the only one who wants to learn Hebrew here. I agree with you on English; it really is an insane language. I know some Spanish, and although it’s got a lot of past tenses, the spelling and forms are a lot simpler.

The beginning scenes of a book often foreshadow the end, and can give you ideas.

Since you’ve already decided that your ending will be a battle, you could look for emotional or character moments from the beginning that you can…[Read more]

Mine is cheating, since I don’t actually have a WIP at the moment (I’m on a post-novel break). My third novel is called Valkyrie.
