And yes, superheroes are fun (though my MC is currently still working on the actual being-a-superhero bit; right now she's just a girl with powers on a mission who hasn't yet figured out that hero-ing is what she's meant to do.) Also, you aren't old. You aren't old until you're, like, 66. <br /><br />Exactly. And it's not like the non-magical people can't be awesome. Look at LOTR. Sam isn't magical. Aragorn isn't magical. Faramir isn't magical. Pippin isn't magical. Yet they're some of the awesomest characters in the story.<br /><br />Thank you; same to you!Sarah Penningtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377945004067760298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6336480024326420194.post-39486655403970390022016-07-02T19:21:53.228-04:002016-07-02T19:21:53.228-04:00OH SO MUCH OF THIS BUSYNESS!! *flails* And hugest ...OH SO MUCH OF THIS BUSYNESS!! *flails* And hugest of congrats for managing an internship <i>and</i> writing! EEEP. I would probably collapse on my face. XD (I'm not good at multitasking omg not good at all.) Alsoooo...superhero book writing? GOOD TIMES. I love superheroes! And MARSHMALLOWS. And yes how is it July?? 0_0 I mean, for me that's good...Winter is nearly over! HAHAHA. But yes. Oh dear, I still have so much to do for this year and I feel like it's going super fast. THE TRIALS OF BEING OLD, I GUESS.<br /><br />I also totally get what you mean about those magical worlds were all the non-magical people are just inferior. Hmm. Kind of offensive! I don't like that trope either tbh. D:<br /><br />Hope you have a good July! HERE IS TO ALL THE GLORIOUS WRITING!

That's pretty ...That about describes it. *nods*<br />That's pretty much why I'm doing the rewriting. And the effects will stretch over more than just the "few chapters," but the rest of the book should need slightly less changing.<br /><br />I can understand that. And I did notice the cliffhanger in the first book . . . which is one of the main reasons I'm thinking of getting the next one if I can.

Have you ever heard about those dog-like robots they are making these days? Creeeeepy! <br /><br />That's a good point you make, about 'normal humans' being looked down on. What's up with that?

I'm sure it'll be awesome, but it adds so much <i>time</i> to everything. :P<br /><br />Ooh, I need to read the Night Circus. I love dream like and lyrical sort of books, so it sounds like something I would enjoy. Not to mention that everyone loves it. :P<br /><br />// katie grace<br /><a href="http://awritersfaith.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">a writer's faith</a>Katie Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01867517507191129951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6336480024326420194.post-17517702345650269152016-07-01T10:06:34.582-04:002016-07-01T10:06:34.582-04:00Internship sounds busy, but fun! :D
And re-writin...Internship sounds busy, but fun! :D<br />And re-writing Destinies and Decisions sounds fun too. Intensive work, perhaps- but rewriting sections of a book can give it such new life and depth! I'm currently doing it with two of my books, though I admit it's a lot more than a few chapters. I basically just started completely new drafts after writing improved plot overviews. The stories just weren't connected enough, and the antagonists didn't come in soon enough, and the scenes needed more impact earlier on. But despite the backtracking, it's been great to be able to come at the stories from a new angle.<br /><br />Keeper of the Lost Cities is a good book series. Like you, I have problems with the world setting, and the attitude of the Elves in general. But that actually ends up becoming a central theme: indeed, the catalyst of the main conflict. <br />What I love best about it is the characters and their relationships. Every book brings a new revelation, and leaves off on a wretched cliffhanger. I'm waiting on the fifth book now. 0_0Emmarayn Reddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15906735934810971194noreply@blogger.com
