@destiny I believe Createspace has articles on how to format using Word. For Scrivener, youtube is the best way to learn.

@destiny Well, you can get books printed from anywhere and then sell them through Amazon, but I assume you’re talking about how to get published through Createspace.

Createspace is an Amazon company that does printing on demand. Somebody orders your book, they print it and ship it. You sit back and enjoy yourself. It’s cool.

So, to self-publish…[Read more]

Wait, @livylynn, are you sure that’s not the character count? It sounds like a lot of words per page.

@kate-flournoy Get over here. I just found someone crazier than you.

Btw, any non-blogger can sign write a book review for KP if they feel up to the challenge.

@daughteroftheking Overenthusiasm is always better than regular enthusiasm. 😛

@salome01w4g Actually, if you’re talking about Treachery Against The House Of Fairwin, this one is less graphic.

@salome01w4g No, they’re about the same as far as violence goes.

@salome01w4g Good question. I’ll answer it for the whole book. I think the main potential issue would be violence. I never try to be gory, but I always include some details of violence. In chapter 2, there is a character who might seem a bit creepy and who kills a couple people (though without much description). In chapter 4, two innocent people…[Read more]

@destiny *facepalm* I knew I had forgotten somebody.

@warrioroftherealm YES!!! Definitely. It must have intrigue. I looove political intrigue.

Granted, that opinion is probably heavily tainted by the fact that I’m an ENFJ, but ENFJs are always right, so I declare this debate over

@joy Reading more widely should help you with writing stories with different themes.

As for the lessons your characters learn and the obstacles in their way, both of those lists seems good to me. I do, however, think that adding more obstacles could help make your story different. For instance, could there be a competitive suitor? Or maybe the…[Read more]

@hannah-c I’d be interested in doing it in January. I can’t guarantee it will work for me, but I think there’s a pretty good chance.

@warrioroftherealm

Well, it depends. You should know that men don’t have a particularly large advantage over women in a one on one combat. The disparity mainly exists in battles where men can keep fighting way way longer.

The trick is, I assume this angel is quite competent with a sword. The best idea that comes to my mind is that she could try…[Read more]

Hi, @joy-schmidt 😀

@dragon-snapper That seems a lot like Theron. 😀

@joy First of all, I’m going to say something unusual.

If you can give up on writing, do so. Fiction writing is literally the worst type of work ever. Only an idiot would be a writer. Now, if you’re reading this and going, “Noooooo! Don’t say that. *tears* I can’t stop!” — if that’s the case, then please, please, please keep writing. If I can’t…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Josiah is going to have a mini Daniel on top of his head??? 😛

@aratrea What have you done!!!??!?!?!

@the-real-kapeefer *waves* 🙂
