Another question…if no one answers here I might start a topic. 😉 Anyway, does anyone know how to publish an ebook which isn’t on kindle? By that I mean, how does one link their book directly from a website so others can download it for kindle, nook, etc. I’m trying to figure this out so I can have it on my website and then price match so it…[Read more]

Thanks, @kate-flournoy. 😉

I love some of the descriptions used in the prophets; Joel 2:2 is one of my favorite examples (and the only one I could think of at the moment):

A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any…

Titles and endings. Also middles, plots, characters, and sometimes even beginnings. And writing instead of staring out the window. 😉

“What’s wrong?” she asked.
“Nothing,” replied Dad.
I still don’t understand why people say that when there really is something wrong. It’s one of life’s great mysteries.

Loved this! 😉

I write in bits as I get time. Normally an hour or so throughout the morning and another hour or two in the afternoon. I like getting everything done before evening so I can relax and read then; but sometimes I write after supper too.

How about something like:

Life is full of dangers, but they shouldn’t stop us from living it to the full.

Although some of the other ideas which have been given are probably better than mine. 🙂

Love the changing voice and how CleverNav tries to drive Sterling off a cliff. And the muffled ‘arrived’. 🙂

@dbhgodreigns Thanks so much. And a question about Scrivener. It looks cool, but with regards to formatting, how much more use would it be than Microsoft? I’m currently using Kindle’s Textbook Creator (though I’ve not done much with it yet) to make and export my book…

@kate-flournoy A guinea-pig! Now you tell me. 😉 But then, as the oldest in my family, I’ve been the guinea-pig my whole life; I suppose I’m used to it. I’ll even make sure G doesn’t find out you said such things.

I don’t think there is anything inherently better or worse about dystopian fiction when compared to any other fiction. In books, the hero almost always saves the day in some why or another because well, that’s what the hero does, I suppose. Though no matter what the genre, if the book is told from a Christian worldview, then the character will…[Read more]

@Daeus Wait, rewrite the future? How can you do that when it’s not even happened? (and how can I put a line like than in some story or another? Unless you’ve claimed it, of course.)

Also, does anyone know if, after you publish a kindle book, you could edit or add to it? Like if I published a novella and then, a month later, wanted to add a page at the end with contact information or a free book or something like that? Could I change it or do I need to make sure everything is done before I publish it?

Actually, @kate-flournoy is designing my cover. 😉 I’m currently planning on doing the rest of the formatting. And I did just get that book, though I’ve not read it yet.

And I don’t know if I’ll just do kindle. Right now I basically want to have two novellas to build my mailing list though, to start with, I am going to attempt to publish…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Yes!!! Same here; I asked my sister that question and the look she gave me still makes me laugh.

A random and slightly crazy question…judge me insane if you wish. Most people say they talk to themselves, but what they consider talking to themselves and what I consider talking to myself are two very different things. It would probably be more accurate to say I talk with myself. Anyway *takes deep breath*…do you talk to yourself in first or…[Read more]

@mas410 Thanks; I have fun with my blog.

Just a few other picky comments…though I do love this scene. 🙂

With one accord Denholm and his companion turned,

This seems a bit stiff and formal. Simply rearranging the words would make it flow better.

I would be the last to know,” Denholm, answered,

There’s an extra comma…

But he was not to be let off so easily.

You could p…[Read more]
