Switching from 3rd to 1st person mid-story?

by Unknown's avatar

So recently I’ve been working on trying this out. Would it work? I’ve certainly never read any stories where anyone has tried this, though I’m sure I’m not the first to attempt it. I believe that it should be possible. Where would one need to switch point of view? Well for starters, switching from 3rd to first person wouldn’t necessarily by switching the point … Read More Switching from 3rd to 1st person mid-story?

Countdown to Divinity!

by Unknown's avatar

So excited, Divinity will be published in another two weeks! Can’t believe it! 8 years in the making!!! Synopsis: How could it come to this? Why would God let this happen to me? These were questions two very different souls in very different circumstances were forced to ask. Giovanni was a poor fisherman living in 16th Century Venice. His entire family had been lost … Read More Countdown to Divinity!

Author Advice Pt. 3

by Unknown's avatar

Rewrites are our friends. I know, it’s hard. You’ve just spent days, if not weeks getting your story down on a piece of paper or into a Word file. You’ve worked hard on it, but something just isn’t right. It doesn’t flow and no matter how many times you change things in the story, it still doesn’t work. Now you’re thinking, maybe I should … Read More Author Advice Pt. 3

Author Advice Pt. 2

by Unknown's avatar

Many will say to write alone in complete silence. I would say definitely alone so that you’re not distracted, but complete silence? Try that and then turn on some music that you absolutely love, something well orchestrated like either classical or Epic Metal, or something like that. When you hit a creative wall or can’t choose the correct words, stop for a moment. Flick … Read More Author Advice Pt. 2

A New Inspiration

by Unknown's avatar

So I recently came across this new song off of Amaranthe’s CD. Over and done. This gave me the idea to rewrite a scene from my upcoming book where the Angel admits that she has romantic feelings that are forbidden for her species. It’s far more poetic now as a result.

The End

by Unknown's avatar

This won’t necessarily focus on one story, or even one series. It will more focus on serials and how the ending are handled. So let’s get to it, shall we? Everyone loves a good ending, everyone. But what makes a good ending and what makes a bad one? Is a good ending the fairy tale happy ending where the hero gets the girl and … Read More The End

New Novel on the Way: Divinity!

by Unknown's avatar

Hi all, just wanted to let you know about an exciting new book that is due for release this November. This was my first full length Novel and really was the pathway to writing Magnifica. After 8 years of rewrites and being put on the back-burner for Magnfica due to a lack of publishing interest, I revisited Divinity, rewrote it, and broke it up … Read More New Novel on the Way: Divinity!

Love Never Dies: The Musical Review.

by Unknown's avatar

I try to stick to the positive… so if you read my blog for writing advice or new books to read, feel free to skip over this review. No one would blame you. Phantom of the Opera was without a doubt the most awesome music I’ve ever seen! It had everything, action, romance, suspense. and horror.

The Villain

by Unknown's avatar

What is it about the villain that’s so great? Why do we like villains so much… to the point where we want to see the villain more than the hero? Well originally, villains were just supposed to be a plot device. A simple element that was used to create a plot. There was no rhyme or reason to it. The villain was just a … Read More The Villain

Question: Did Mithrandir (Gandalf) and Galadriel have a relationship at one point?

by Unknown's avatar

In my opinion… YES! Though there really isn’t any evidence of it in any of the books. The movies make it more than apparent. There is no doubt about it. It’s not really apparent in Lord of the Rings although the look on Galadriel’s face is of concern when she discovers that Gandalf has fallen. Not only that, but the way they react to … Read More Question: Did Mithrandir (Gandalf) and Galadriel have a relationship at one point?

Does a book becoming a movie ruin the book?

by Unknown's avatar

The answer SHOULD BE a resounding NO! If Magnifica or Divinity were ever made into a movie and it stunk… my book would still be sitting on the shelf, available to read. The movie will have done nothing to it. That said, if a book was turned into a movie and the movie turned out to be better than the book (happens, though rarely), … Read More Does a book becoming a movie ruin the book?

Character development progression…

by Unknown's avatar

Not all characters come from the same place. Not all are based on a person we know and not all are created directly from our minds. Some characters are taken from bits and pieces of other characters, perhaps a personality trait, internal demon, or other factor is taken from a third party source and incorporated into a brand new character. In a previous post, … Read More Character development progression…
