@Dragon-Snapper yes, that scene was amazing. I think I was rooting for the wrong person, but still… 😛

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

Huh… I guess that makes sense.

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]

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

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]

@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.

Ok, I have to leave at nine, so I’ll try to get up at 5 and write as much as I can, but I might not get up at five because I’ve developed an immunity to alarm clocks and actually get up earlier without them.

@kate-flournoy Okey dokey. So I want to incentivize two actions. Action 1 is already being incentivized by a book of mine. I’m already decided on that. The question is about action 2. I don’t want to reuse that same free offer since then if a reader completed action 1 and got the book, why would they complete action 2?

@kate-flournoy I edited two chapters and then wrote a 210 word short scene for EB.

I’d like to write tomorrow, but I have an event I have to attend. Maybe I can wake up early though, and I don’t think it will take up all day.

@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?

@kate-flournoy You writing tonight?

Not quite sure I understood your clarification @Daeus…

… Sorry?

Bookmarks aren’t a bad idea, but digital readers don’t need them.

@kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy Ok, I guess I didn’t make this clear. In this situation, I’m already giving away a book of mine for something else, so if I want to incentivise people for both actions, giving away the same book isn’t an option. I could write a third book, but that’s very impractical.

Maybe printable bookmarks???

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]

@daeus, I’m a sucker for audio dramas and audiobooks (As long as it is read well) so I would definitely go that route. Also with audiobooks, people like my brother who have bad dyslexia can enjoy the story too.
