Daisy Torres replied to the topic Anyone know anything about Kindle Villa? in the forum Publishing & Platform 3 years, 5 months ago
@nanisnook Absolutely!!
@devastate-lasting Oh really? I didn’t know that.
Yeah that makes sense! I tried doing Wattpad a few years back, and I got fairly big, but I ended up closing my account because it ended up taking too much of my time and kind of stressing me out, but I’m hoping I’ll have better luck with scheduling my posts. Idk, we’ll see…[Read more]

Hey, guys!
I just found out Amazon Kindle is coming out with a reading program similar to Radish or Wattpad called “Kindle Villa”, where you can get paid for readers reading your novels.
That being said, does anyone have anything they’d like to share about it? (Questions are welcome too!)

@devastate-lasting Hey Lin! Just wanted to check in. I haven’t been active recently because I was on vacation in GA, but now I’m back home and getting back into my routine. 😂 What’s going on with you? What’s your WIP about?

@devastate-lasting Great job, Linyang!!!!!!! 😀
I’ve finished writing for the day. I did some research for my novel and wrote 183 words. My last line:
As far as I knew, she was never trained to be a spy, and, yet, she had the quality of one.
@devastate-lasting and @faith-q Thank you both so much for writing with me!!!!!! 😀 😀

Kathleen replied to the topic What's your favorite type of villain? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 5 months ago
So much yes on character who don’t feel like they were solely made for the plot! Those are my favorite kind characters whether they are a villains or any other type of character.
(Oh, and your not the only one who had their day made by the Shrek joke by @not-so-secret-secret-assassin haha. XD)

E. K. Seaver started the topic Launch Team Signups in the forum Publishing & Platform 3 years, 5 months ago
Hallo everyone,
Being a soon-to-be-published author, I need a launch team. And unfortunately, Instagram did not provide me the humans that I hoped would help support me, so I’m turning to my backup support group. If you have a social platform with a decent amount of followers (I don’t mean to be picky, but it’s harder on me if I have a large team…[Read more]

Hi y’all, so I’ve got a bit of an issue I need some help with.
I’m currently drafting and while I know its anything but perfect (which is fine) I’m still struggling with something.
How do you introduce characters into a new world and to new characters without making it rushed and just….blech. Lol.
So a bit of backstory. My two characters,…[Read more]

@abigail-mHi Abigail! Nice to meet you!
I don’t think I have a favorite setting. It kind of depends on the story. Though with most of my initial settings, a fireplace ends up in there somewhere. XD

valtmy replied to the topic What's your favorite type of villain? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 5 months ago
Oh yes I love it when the antagonist and protagonist mirror each other thematically.
I like unexpected villains (e.g. killer being a child or sweet old lady). I’m also fascinated by villains that have unique and interesting motivations because the power-hungry, petty-jealous-rivalry, s…[Read more]

Maybe one day you will get to make a story from it:) Because that totally sounds like it would make an epic one 😀

Hi Ella! I hope you had fun on your vacation! Me, my school just ended, so I’m trying to find a routine with a couple of different WIPs and music. I maybe started another 10 stories since the last time you checked in, haha, but most are on hold now. I’ll give you two: one is a potential short story/novelette called “Ravens of the Valley” about a…[Read more]
the vacay was awesome! stayed up till midnight and went on a run in the morning, lol!! i totally get that–i started writing 7 different ideas and rn i’m working on a different one. 🙂 those ideas sound great!! 😃 the assassin (Selena) has super agility/reflexes (u know how dumb that sound when i say it out loud? 🤣) and she can pinpoint any…[Read more]
Oo, Selena sounds super cool! Who are the people trying to track her down? Or is she the main character?
I’m loving this month’s theme! No, I don’t have Disney+, but I have seen the trailer for it!
So, it’s kind of complicated. Selena’s father left mysteriously when she was 10, leaving a strange necklace and a letter in which he promised to return, then she was transferred to the foster system. When she was 14, she ran away from her foster parents and forged a life for herself (it’s a dystopian world that’s half underwater + urban…[Read more]
Oo, that sounds absolutely awesome! I’m also getting into dystopian lately, haha. Best of luck on your endeavors!
What stage are you with it now?
