I'm writing a cool book, care to read? It's fictional fantasy, *like you have never seen one of THOSE before*?

Question

Ok, I'm writing a book in a difrent world from the other books. The book is kinda like a Eragon book, for i read it alot and put forth some of my insperation from that, yet I need readers. The book is not a bag to riches sort of book, but a riches to bags.

A boy lives with royalty, he is best friends with the princess. One day, he is looking through shops when a commoner walks by and declairs to him that the city is corupted and he shall leave. (didn't happen exactly like that,to tell the truth the commoner was going to be exicuted and was being "escorted kindly" to the castle when he wispered to the boy "So I see you have a Sand Spirit eh?") through a turn of events, the boy leaves and learns how to control sand, one of the few 6 elements that are locked to everyone but one, him.

Through the book, the boy has to overtake the city, find out what happened to his father and why he decided to leave the safty of the city and go directly to the war frount, find out why the princess became so...darkish, and figure out who this commener really is and if the boy can really change...the fate of his land.

For those of you out there, this book is fiction/fantisy, I have a long way to go and so far i have only 16 chapters typed. I still need to write a prologe to sample out to the world of readers but my book is true to it's name: "The Fallen City of the Land of Sand"

My world is diffrent from most books. My World is split. there is the Land of Sand, the Land of Mountans, the Land of Fire, the Land of the Trees and the Land of Endless Waters....

One last thing to the reader, i do not give a person's name freely. I do not say "John walked outside" I would say "A curious teenager walked outside his house and gazed upon the bright morning star, the sun. outside someone called a greeting of: "morning John" to him as he walked out to get the paper" (no johns in my story, just a ex.)

Thanks for reading this far and if you would like to read my book for free <copyrighted protected> plz. answer me back and/or email me at [e-mail] asap. thanks for reading!

Answer 1

it sounds great:]

I looove reading fantasy books, though Eragon didn&#039;t appeal to me at all.

Answer 2

Why sample it out to people now? It sounds promising, yes, but why not just wait until you actually finish it and then send it out to publishers? Then people could read the entire thing. I&#039;m not a fan of letting people read my work, but maybe it&#039;s just me. Even if you do copyright it, what&#039;s to say that someone might not just take a snippet of an idea away from your novel and write their own? Originality aids in chances of getting published and chances that people will want to read it, so don&#039;t just give it away. It doesn&#039;t seem beneficial to let random people read it. If you want reviews of it now, ask someone you can really trust -someone you know will give you honest feedback.

The title could use some work, but you&#039;ll probably figure this out once you&#039;re done with the entire novel. Remember, the title is the first thing that appeals to readers, unless it&#039;s jacket art. You want something as unique as the rest of your novel, right? Maybe something like: The Hourglass (I&#039;m sure you could find some symbolism in there).

By the way: there are a lot of books with different worlds in them. ~_^

Good luck with that novel by the way! I&#039;ll look forward to seeing it on the shelves (that is if you intend on getting it published).

Answer 5

William Dietz, Philip K d**k, David Eddings, Harlan Ellison, just to name a few of the very famous authors who used a &#039;split universe&#039; idea before you.  Do not pretend that you have an original concept, for you do not.  This is not to say that your story itself is not original, or that the ideas you have themselves do not work.  But your title is pretentious, your aggressive need to point out your stylistic nuance superfluous and your self-important trumpeting is a huge turn off.  Learn to let the story speak for itself.  Endlessly talking about it will make you write less of it.  Is there potential?  Sure.  But it does not sound all that one-of-a-kind as a riches-to-rags premise has been every bit as much a staple of narratives as its inverse.  The story has to be original or the story will be forgettable.
