@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

@elfwing Exactly (except I ain’t introverted XDD)! LOL that’s pretty funny. I always daydream best when I’m on a walk and I have music playing. I love daydreaming about my characters; I wouldn’t have my book series if I didn’t think about them. Heck, the idea for my first book was conceived in a daydream!!!

@elfwing From what I read there, that looks good! And that reminds me that I really need to get started beta-ing your story… XD <3 It looks super good!

@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]

@kathleenramm Oh, good. XD

Hahahaha, YES. I will go down FIGHTING. It’d be awesome just how to see what he’d do. XDD

Thank you so much! Damias and Bren are from the same trilogy of books (my series is split up into three sub-trilogies) but Tàe is from a different one. 😛 Yeah, they would be! Damias and Bren definitely get some interactions and…[Read more]

@elfwing Oh, 100%. Same here. I didn’t do all this maladaptive daydreaming for nothing… XD

@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!

@kathleenramm Why do I write… this is a hard question. So this post will likely be a lengthy thought dump, haha.

First of all, I write to serve God. I am trying to transform my fiction to be as pleasing as possible, because I really want Him to look at it and say “this is good”. I don’t really care if other people love my fiction, I want GOD to…[Read more]

@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]

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

@kathleenramm, I love your answer, and I don’t think it was too long. Creativity is a beautiful thing, isn’t it?

1: I write to escape. I’ve had a bit of a rough go with my health in the last few years, and so when something hard happens and I feel completely lost, I write to let out my emotions and sometimes anger, then I talk to God about what’s…[Read more]
