Boron and Eli have very different personalities from her and from each other.<br /><br />Eventually, the three apprentices leave the temple to fight the demons, but it is proven that there are very dangerous and very powerful enemies out there. Sacrifices will be made, and challenges will be fought.<br /><br />I have already planned this into an 8-book series. I have names of titles for every book.......now I just need a title for the series itself! If I could have some help, that would be great!

It's that same old discussion about how many plots there are, right?<br /><br />(http://childrenspublishing.blogspot.com/2010/04/master-plots-and-how-to-count-them.html)<br /><br />Hi Sharon!

Personally, I think that this...Are you kidding!!!<br /> <br />Personally, I think that this is a BRILLIANT idea!<br /><br />When I want to write a short story or witty poem, something usually for my own boys or my students - I get those poor victims to brainstorm ideas for me.<br />My students are constantly giving me prompts to base my stories around. Well, in this situation I'm writing for them so I include whatever THEY want. <br /><br />When I am writing purely for my own pleasure or catharsis, then prompts and 'idea generators' are not usually necessary. In this situation I want feedback on the language, grammar, tone and so on. The plot is usually already fixed in my head...<br /><br />IT'S FREE....?! SEE YA....off to plot my plot and improve the lot!<br /><br />This was GREAT Martina....just thought of a negative aspect, though...are we in danger of producing something that another 1000 or so writers have written because the generator gave the same info and plot guidelines to a whole bunch of 'lazy PLOTTERS?!?'Ann Marie Wraighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14524746255813452836noreply@blogger.com
