@gracie-j ahh ok I see… so according to Google indie is independent publishing?

So you said fiverr has some good ones? I briefly looked on there  ans i was wondering if I need to watch out for scams or anything like that….

Ugh i guess I’m paranoid, but if I’m going in its with both feet not one and i don’t want to make unnecessary mistakes 🙃

@scripter-of-kingdoms haha thank you!  i love making up names but Balar was too perfect to pass up lol

yeah he is, he occupies himself with the two dogs and dirt and toys for hours XD

ooo glad you’re interested! here’s the first poem in the book; it’s special because it’s the first one I’ve ever finished outside of school assignments.

it’s a…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdoms, what was the daydream for your first story?

@scripter-of-kingdoms haha thanks!! Faeda is taken from the Gaelic word for brave, and sathor is from punjabi and means steady. Tyroll is… um, a spin off the the name tyrell which means stubborn mule/horse XD sathor is romanian and means griffon/serpent

yeah, I know, I’m gonna be too spoiled by the end; I’m nannying a child who pretty much…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdoms lol yeah it is until I realize it’s the instructions for lunch that I just lost… XD

haha I daydream everything! I inherited my dad’s imagination; he sees everything he thinks about in color and its like a movie in his head XD

@scripter-of-kingdoms thanks! It’s the one scene that’s had me nervous for a long time. So glad it’s good!

haha no rush, I know you all have stuff to do. I just got lucky with a job where I literally have hours to do writing XD

@scripter-of-kingdoms haha same! I may be an awkward introvert around most everyone but I make up with my imagination. I sometimes stop talking in a conversation with someone because a random idea crosses my brain, and after processing the idea, I realized I stopped talking and the person is staring at me in confusion XD Even without a highly…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdoms It is therapy, isn’t it? I can’t imagine not being able to write.

@kathleenramm I agree, it is definitely healing!

@gracie-j @e-k-seaver thank you both for the input!

I have never done anything like publishing, and I didn’t know there was a stigma because I actually don’t know what indie publishing is lol

As far as the cover, @e-k-seaver, who/what would you suggest? I’ll have the money to do it, but I also don’t want to pay a ton of money if I don’t need…[Read more]

@elfwing I’m going to disagree with the spectacular @gracie-j for a minute here. (Most of the time I agree with her. My experience has just been a bit different)

The first thing that is important is something to engage with your audience. I prefer to use Instagram (@ekseaver.author) but any space where you can put your thoughts out there easily…[Read more]

here is the temporary one for book 1… I know the text is pretty much invisible lol

@gracie-j ok cool! ummmm well, anything that comes to mind, tbh

But especially about audience, if that’s the right word; how many people would you recommend having an interest in the story before publishing it? I don’t wanna just put it on there and have nothing happen with it, that would totally suck XD I have about… 2o+ people that have told…[Read more]

@gracie-j

I’m thinking of using Amazon… I am so new to anything like this, but I assume that’s self-publishing? XD

@gracie-j EEEEE YESSS

Sorry for the enthusiasm but you literally made my day! I’ve been wondering about this scene for a few weeks now but only just finished ‘perfecting’ it lol

And I am more interested in trying to publish in the near future! I just need to get done with the editing and revising if thats what it’s called lol

Any tips?

@daisy-torres you’re welcome!! Another one I love is One Heart by Celine Dion

@keilah-h

I get what you mean.

I will say that there is a balance that takes a while to get; it’s like talking about pretty much everything in life. If you talk about anything enough every person will want a break or not want to hear anymore.

It’s like me listening to people talking about trucks and cars; I don’t give a hoot how much horsepower…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I’d say that the song In The Unknown by Volunteers literally sums up why I write, and also me, in a way

@devastate-lasting Yesss I am not alone in feeling suffocated when I don’t write!!! I’m glad to know that lol
