@the happy bookaholic
Thanks 🙂 but here is what dictionary.com says. (By the way this wasn’t purposeful)
Although it is frequently claimed that different should be followed only by from, not by than, in actual usage both words occur and have for at least 300 years. From is more common today in introducing a phrase, but than is also used

David B. Hunter replied to the topic 1st person or 3rd person? in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 1 month ago
Okay, I thought your previous work was in 3rd person, my bad. 😉 Rosey is right, you can tell from multiple viewpoints better with third person. You can more than one viewpoint with first person as well, though I have never actually read a book like that (multiple viewpoint characters in first person, I mean) .

I’ve only ever written in 3rd person, but this November I may try my hand at 1st person. If you like how it sounds. I’d say go for it and finish your book in 1st person.

I may try Kindle Scout. Thing is, the book I’m thinking about using, hasn’t even been written yet, so, first things first, but yes, if I finish the book, and put it in Kindle Scout, I will definitely ask for your support. I have another book, but it’s a sequel to a previously published novella, do you think that would be accepted?
Good luck on…[Read more]

I may try that next time, was your book a Christian book? Just wondering if people are open to that type of genre. (The one I’m thinking about possibly using Kindle Scout is a Dystopian for teens, with Christian elemnts) What was the title of your book and when are you going to self-publish it?
That was a lot of questions. Hope you aren’t overwhelmed 🙂

Mine was not obviously Christian, although I included subtle Christian allegorical elements. It was titled “The Monster Upstairs,” and I’m thinking it may have come across as a little too dark for some. But I have definitely seen obviously Christian books featured on there, although they aren’t always the most popular. I guess that’s the world we…[Read more]

I am pretty sure that is an option. I seem to recall that they gave you an option to say whether or not it’s a sequel. I didn’t look much into it, though. You should check it out, though.
Thanks!

@liddyanne I was just wondering what your experience with Kindle Scout was. Would you recommend it?
-
It was great! I would highly recommend it. Not only did it force me to figure out how to put together things like marketing strategies and my novel cover before release, but instead of simply submitting to an editor and getting refused it gives you stats–how many pageviews your campaign gets, how popular it is with readers–and if you’re accepted…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when you notice every time an author does something different than you would! (At least when you’re not engrossed in the story 🙂 )

David B. Hunter replied to the topic In OUR World? Are you JOKING? in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 1 month ago
How about this, in speculative fiction, you can maybe tweak some of the story, while still keeping the main idea. The one thing you must do though, is stay true to God’s character.
Bryan Davis does this very well and I believe he may had a couple of blog posts on it.

David B. Hunter replied to the topic Favorites? in the forum Book Discussions 9 years, 1 month ago
I highly recommend the “Dragons in our Midst” series by Bryan Davis. As well as the two subsequent series in that story universe.

Hi, Alia, you lived in China? That’s neat! I’m a homeschooler and proud of it as well! *High five* I tried to read LOTR, but I just couldn’t finish it. I think I got almost to the end of the Two Towers.

Oh, this is perfect timing. I’m learning about the American Revolution and a similar question to this was raised and the series I’m thinking about starting this November may have a similar situation to yours, Hope.
Alright this is from Romans Chapter 13.

Could another secret agent try to stop your MC. They could kind of have a running feud through the book.
