I know Christopher Moore. I have all of his books. I'm looking for books with a bit of snark in them. Something witty, that will make you laugh out loud.
I've lost my funny. I'm trying to find it again.
Anything in the Fantasy genre that has some sort of paranormal element will do. Nothing...
‘I’ve treated you horribly, Deliah,’ he said, his gaze moving from the sky to meet mine. ‘You can’t believe how sorry I am.’
‘It’s been a two-way feud ,’ I told him. ‘I’m sorry for my part, too. I said some things that you probably didn’t want to hear.’
‘It doesn’t matter. Can you forgive me?’...
I posted this a couple days ago but I'm reposting (sorry) because I want some different oppinions and especially some constructive criticism. The main character, Zira, has just woken up from a severe head injury and a gunshot wound to the leg. She doesn't remember anything and has no idea where...
open to it or not? This question was inspired by thinking about how easily everyone melted into vampire and wolf stories following the rise of Twilight. It was such an easy transition from one idea to the other, that a lot of the vampire and wolf stories sold pretty well because of it.
Is it...
...to it or not? If you heard of an idea that has never/rarely been used before, would you expect more or less from it?
When you're in a bookstore, do you only single out the stuff you already know/like/look for? (Like perhaps, a huge fan of Twilight and the Vampire Diaries would appeal to...
Still in the planning process? Just started writing it out? Stuggling over that horrid writer's block? Well-into it or maybe even finishing it up? Where are you at, B&A?
A side note to anyone who cares: This is my last question on Y!A (you can find out why on my profile page, if you'd like)...
I'm currently writing a book and I have plans to turn it into a series. Each title so far has the word Blood in it. Kinda like how the sookie stackhouse series has dead in its title. my book is about a vampire. (more like underworld vamps) she kills people etc. I don't really what to give too...
When you send a query letter, it usually starts with a "tagline" of your story that is exactly one sentence long before you write the paragraph long blurb.
What is your basic tag line? Remember, only one sentence!
(Note: For those of you afraid to give your story away, a tag line is just a...
Okay, this is kinda ridiculous. I'm completely blocked right now. I have a writer's group meeting tomorrow night and I haven't been able to start my chapter. So can you give me a hand?
What happened last time was Fenrir and his partner Lorenz (both Knights) arrested a man for mixing alchemy and...
I've recently been struck with a tremendous idea. It's not exactly the sort of idea that describes your story to you; on the contrary, it's the sort of idea that tells you what you want your story to be.
I've been hung up on this idea for a few days now, stringing possibilities along, trying...
If you had to do it - like I dunno, or your life would be taken (this is for those who will argue the point of this question. I know, unrealistic. But Silly Turtle is silly. My name is no oxymoron).
So, back to the question: If you had to give it to another writer, what character would be given...
While this has nothing to do with books/authors, I think this is the best category to ask it in. I need ideas for something and this section is quite creative.
So you see, my lunch table at school is going to throw a welcome back party for one of our friends. A teacher has ever so kindly agreed...
My MC has realized that her plan to commit suicide has failed because she is lying in a hospital bed. She is angry that her plan failed but happy to see that her best friend is in the room with her. She feels stupid now that she let the girls at school influence her that much.
She can see her...
Ideas that you would never turn into stories, even if you had all the time in the world to do so.
-- Reading this question back makes me feel I need to add this: Do NOT list the ideas you are not using(Unless you want too?). That's not what I meant for you to do. Thank you.
I told you I liked these interview things :P
1. If you ever found $100 (about €71) on the sidewalk, what do you do with it? ---
2. What is your sign (horoscope) and/or zodiac? Do you believe in any of this stuff? ---
3. Having you ever been threatened before? ---
4. If you had to (as in – not...
I read a lot but I seem to repeatedly read the books I've already got .
In my collection I only have around 50 books and I'm in the process of buying some more...
I ordered 10 books from Amazon last week :P
So how many do you have?
@scotty - That's a lot of books!! Oh and McFly are amazing :P
Okay, so a weird girl is greeting my 2 main character's..What should she say?
I was thinking...
"Salutations,friends."
What do you think? And or what was the weirdest greeting you ever received?
BQ:
1.How does your latest piece compare with your life?
2.Does your reading/writing impact your...
Right, in short:
I start off with "Once Upon A Time..." you guys then answer with either 1-4 words, carrying on the story. I want to see what we come up with... and it's just for fun!!! Please be as random as you want!!!
Once upon a time
