@kate-flournoy 🙁 Wow… I never looked at it that way before. That just goes to show more differences between the light and dark side. I thought that the fight between the two was done very well, actually. With the two different colored lightsabers, then that one part where Ray forced his lightsaber to the ground and her lightsaber was held high.…[Read more]

@Daeus yeah… that was my original reaction. It took a while for the horror to sink in. 😛

@jess Yay! See you then, partner!
(I may switch to writing some time in that span, but either way, I’m here.)

Yep, pulling this up from the depths again and putting it back on topic…
So, I watched The Force Awakens again. I think I could probably watch it over and over and never get tired of it… because every time I watch it I see something new that I missed before.
The big realization this go around was something fairly small but I almost choked…[Read more]

@daeus @kate-flournoy @overcomer @jess @winter-rose @anyone else Writing tonight? I’ll be copying paper edits onto my computer if anyone wants to join.

Yes, that does sound about right. Some books are made to be read aloud. Les Mis is not one of them.

@Sarah-H Okay; probably not, if they’re people who like deep things. I don’t think that age would be too young for hearing Les Mis, as long as they’re pretty mature. But I think that Les Mis wouldn’t be the best book for reading aloud anyway, no matter the age of your audience. Parts of it, while not necessarily bad (though a little too detailed…[Read more]

@Daeus Well, if the incentive directly related to your work would be an audio of the same book I’d read from you, and not another work of yours or something different but having to do with your book, I’d probably stick to what I first said. The classic would motivate me more (well, obviously depending on what it was. 😛 But most classics to me are…[Read more]

Oh and hey, on the note of email-lists, I bought an ebook a while back from a lady whose name is Rachel Starr Thomson— as soon as I bought the book I was automatically added to her email list, and though the book was nothing spectacular it was almost worth it to observe how well she managed her email marketing. I mean, several times she almost…[Read more]

@Sarah-H Well…no, I don’t think so. It’s too deep; also too grown up in some content. Littler kids wouldn’t understand (or need to hear) a lot of it, and I don’t think it would hold their attention well either.

@Daeus okay… I think I see. My other answer still stands, but you’re right, I would be less excited about an audiobook I’d already read, in which case the classic would motivate me about the same.

And that’s true. Digital readers don’t really need bookmarks do they… 😛 That was not very well thought out.

@Daeus yes but not sure of the schedule so I probably can’t race tonight. As far as I know I’ll be going all day tomorrow though. Do you want me to tag you when I start?

Not quite sure I understood your clarification @Daeus…

… Sorry?

Maybe printable bookmarks???

Just here to reinforce (with reinforcements of colossal import, mind you) any other Les Miserables recommendations there’ve been. The more there are, the more likely someone will start it. 🙂 I finished it today and around my eyes is literally puffy with all the crying I’ve done, but it’s so worth it. That book is amazing.

Um whoops, reading Kate’s post just now, it hit me you meant if I’d already read your book. 😛 (I saw that in your post but forgot.) So if I’d read your book and loved it, I’d probably want more from you.

@Daeus I’d go more for the classic, I think.

Good ol’ marketing… 😛

Personally @Daeus, if I had just read your book and loved it, I would want more of the same, not some different author. Setting aside the fact that I personally can’t listen to audiobooks, I think an audiobook would be a great idea. Though I love classics, I would be more incentivized to join your email list if it was…[Read more]
