@northerner Ah, those are some good points. I actually agree with you on most of them. I like seeing my physical books and I like the fact that I can leave them in my inheritance.
And it’s true that part of the beauty of reading is the physical experience. It’s funny you brought that up though, because that’s actually one of the main reasons I…[Read more]

@perfectfifths Btw, if you’re allowed to have outside input, I’ll volunteer to beta read. I think I can handle 1,500 words. 😉

Greetings everyone,
Our friendly KeePer, @Anne-of-Lothlorien, wanted me to announce that she is taking a break from the forum for a while in order to concentrate on her studies and other tasks. Hopefully, she’ll be back, but the break is for an uncertain amount of time. Anway, make sure you say goodbye and wish her the best.

Hi @anne-of-lothlorien! I’m planning for the next panel discussion, and since you seemed to enjoy the one we did recently, I was wondering if you would be interested in giving a testimonial for the rest of KP to know what you thought of it. Is that something you’d be up for? It would just be a couple lines of text.

@perfectfifths Not particularly. Most all of them are good.

@perfectfifths Yep. She’s pretty sweet. A lot of people around here read her regularly.

@PerfectFifths um… well… what they said. 😛 Thanks guys.
I’ll come back if I think of anything else. 😉 -

@perfectfifths. I know. It’s pretty sweet.

Daeus replied to the topic Tips for Writing Short Stories in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 7 months ago
@perfectfifths What I would recommend is don’t think of this as if you need to plan a plot. Plot carries the connotation of something big. Just write one scene (i.e. a firefighter rescues a girl from a burning house.) It’s really not that hard to keep one scene short.
The thing then is making the scene meaningful. You can think of this scene as…[Read more]

@northerner Ah, I suspected that was your reason. Ok, well first, I don’t think your genre will change a whole lot. I’m suspect you’re right that there are fewer e-readers there, but there’s still a significant amount. However, that doesn’t affect the issue of hypocrisy much. Well, here’s the question. Why are you against e-readers? If it’s a…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic Traditional in the forum Publishing & Platform 9 years, 7 months ago
@northerner Basically, yes, though the answer’s not quite so simple.
Let’s say when you initial launch your book, you selling a lot of paperbacks but not many ebooks. I’d first ask, what’s making you sell a lot of paperbacks? Well, you’re probably in bookstores or catalogs where people who buy paper books browse. That might be your only…[Read more]

I would be interested, but could you explain a little more? If I wrote out some lines about what I thought of it, where would I put them? What would it appear on; where would it come up for other KeePers to see?
On a slightly different subject, I haven’t been on here in months, since I’m trying to cut back on the things I do on the internet that…[Read more]
Sure thing. I can let people know. Hope your school and research go well.
As for the testimonial, we’d be using it in the email announcement for when we do our next one. If you simply posted it here, that would be fine.
Is it okay if it’s longer than a few sentences? It’s more like… eight. I already wrote it out.
You know actually? Eight’s probably perfect.
Okay, here it is.
– when I heard about the panel discussion at KP, I realized that I’d never asked other people’s advice about writing before, and that was a mistake. I had many questions about the more complex, technical side of writing, but I’d never asked other, more experienced writers about it. So I took part in the KP’s first panel, and…[Read more]
Oh, capitalize that beginning ‘w’ please?
@anne-of-lothlorien Thanks so much! I’m really glad the panel discussion was so helpful to you!
