    NaNoWriMo 2021

    As mentioned, my friend did edit it. She actually edited it for a year and a half. I didn't say all fast writing was bad. It was directly related to her participation in National Writers Month. To each his/her own.

    NaNoWriMo 2021

    To me participating National Writers Month prompts bad writing. I can see if a person wants to force themselves to write a full novel, but writing that quickly produces poor results. Yes, a person can rewrite, but.... I have a friend who had never finished a novel. Her writing was improving...

    Trying a stab at my own cover

    It's impressive. It's unusually presented and draws the eye. That's the point of a cover, to draw the attention and thereby make the reader want to see what's in the book.

    No, by tease I mean the blurb that your read inside a book cover to entice people to take a further look. I'm not going to post a chapter or a synopsis. I don't need help with that. On this site I am not looking for buyers for my book. In this case I'm looking for writing advice on how to do...

    Thank you all. I thought of the critique section, but it talks about manuscripts. This is just a tease. In the portfolio section it's supposed to be my best work - well, the book may be my best work, but the tease sucks. Marketing also seems like a good choice. I debated both of them. No...

    Hmm, that seems redundant. I'll have to think about that one. Thanks.

    I've been looking around, trying to decide. I'd like feed back. I kind of suck at the book tease.

    how to use Anthropomorphism

    I'd say do it whatever way seems right to you. I consider critters of all kinds sentient. To me butterflies are people too.

    Need help finding a reason for someone of to lose an eye

    I'm not as familiar with William as you are. I remember the William Tell Overture and the story of the guy shooting the apple off of his head. In any case it probably was not a pleasant experience.

    Need help finding a reason for someone of to lose an eye

    Where I live people still hunt with bows and arrows. Someone shot one of our local wild turkeys with an arrow. It penetrated his intestines, and they hung out and trailed behind him. The poor thing hid in the bushes. It's an incredibly cruel way to hunt. So this popped into my mind.

    Facial Haired Protaganists

    I like beards on guys. As a woman it means I would not get whisker burn in romantic entanglements. I don't like long bushy ones that look like ratty shredded wheat. I like them to be well groomed. I like the differences between men and women. This unisex stuff is boring...boring. I put...
