ragnarok1945 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I never said anything about it has to be a main character. And what about speech disability problems? Suppose that's placed into the characters, surely his/her speech and grammar will then be bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 something like talking with your mouth full. As long as the reader can get the gist of the saying (assuming it's not important) it should be fine to give it minor grammatical error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Sammidysam, since you already chose MN to be the place setting for this book, what time setting are you thinking of giving it?

Navras Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 i read a few things and first thing i noticed is, only 700,000 words? that's good for about nine chapters at least. try going fo 150,000,000 words, that's good for a full book. second, if you can't think of your charaters, then make sure to add who did in the fron of your book. you know, acknowledgements and what not. third, if you want an evil character, ask me. tha's my speciality.

You and I have business to settle," Sammidysam' date=' since you already chose MN to be the place setting for this book, what time setting are you thinking of giving it? (This will help us give you more ideas)[/quote']I guess it could be 2000 because he is in St. Paul, a big city and there is a bully. I took 2 names from Fire Emblem also, Roy and Ike. Those could be real names, actually. i read a few things and first thing i noticed is' date=' only 700,000 words? that's good for about nine chapters at least. try going fo 150,000,000 words, that's good for a full book. second, if you can't think of your charaters, then make sure to add who did in the fron of your book. you know, acknowledgements and what not. third, if you want an evil character, ask me. tha's my speciality.[/quote']I said 70,000 words on 12 size font. That equals up to 1,000 words on each 2 pages which is good for my chapters of 5,000 words... I guess that would make 14 chapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikachu Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 1000 words per page ARE YOU KIDDING ME?500 is about the audience, they dun wanna look and say 'ZOMG LOTS OF WORDS! *dumps book*' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Jevans Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 1000 words per page is a bit much for me. Pikachu is right, try 500 words or so. Too many words per page might put the reader off the book. What is the point of it? You say it's adventure but not the actual plot. I might be able to help you with some character personities if I knew what the plot. Character development is my specialty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Lovegood Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I think you shouldn't just post 'I want to write a book'. If you really wanted to write a book, you would post some minor details, not just the big stiuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sammidysam makes the book fully action packed, it will keep the reader in suspense. If that happens, they won't care how many words are on the page, they'll be glued to the book regardless. I remember I read Sci Fi books that had up to 2500 words on a single page, but because the action and suspense were so intense, it kept me going on the page.

Sammidysam Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 What do you mean by 'time setting'? Past, present, or future? I don't get it. I am only under 10 years old. I will never give out my age! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Well is this book set in the present year, the past years (can go back to the Western days), or hundreds of years in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
