Yes, I would like to join

@gabriellepollack I haven’t decided for certain yet. I think I’ll do Rachel Starr Thomson’s Seventh World trilogy, which in my opinion isn’t as well-known as it deserves to be.

My goals are:

1. Write another book review for my blog

2. Write one more chapter of my WIP

I settled on I want the climax of my story to look like

I recently revitalized my website: toklahamveruzia.weebly.com

I don’t have any social media accounts

@morreafirebird

I’ve written a comprehensive review expressing my opinions on both the manga and the anime, if you’d like more details.

P.S: Congratulations on becoming a guildmaster!

My goal is to figure out the ending of my current WIP. The outline I have so far goes up to a point at the climax where the protagonist is caught in a catch-22 situation, and I can’t figure out how she’s going to get out of it.

@kayla-joy The author did write a sequel to the Giver, sort of. It’s called Gathering Blue and is set in the same dystopian world, but focuses on entirely different characters. There are a total of four books in the series and the last two tie into to the first one better.

@snapper I finished the book and suggested several typos to fix. I really enjoyed Ike’s character arc.

The stories that make the greatest emotional impact on me are the ones that leave some questions at the end. My favorite examples include The Warden and the Wolf King (the only book that’s ever made me cry), A Silent Voice, and A Time to Speak (before I realized that there were actually going to be three books in the series).

The ending of A Time to Speak is so good I think the third book never should have been written. Personally, I think A Time to Speak resolves the series in a much more… intriguing manner. If I ever give the Out of Time series to my kids, I’m going to rip out the last page of book 2 and tell them it’s the last book. 🙂

Thank you!

I’ll share a Google Doc with you so you can comment on it easily. Which email address should I share it with?

@supermonkey42 Thanks. What would be the best way to send it to you? I have a rather neglected website I could post the PDF file on.

I’m busy finishing up the year of schoolwork right now so I won’t set any concrete goals until summer actually starts for me. But I’d like to finish the outline and start the first draft of my next planned novel, The Lore of Yore. However due to some timeline issues I may start outlining it only to realize that I have to write another book set i…[Read more]

1. I usually write high fantasy, which I think of as fantasy stories set in worlds completely unrelated to this universe.

2. I just finished the first draft of The Dust Smugglers, which is about a man who steals magic sand from wells buried under a vampire-infested desert. His adopted daughter is kidnapped by vampires, and he has to go on a…[Read more]

That premise sounds wonderful! I would like to read it.
