Got the tag wrong. @rachel-l? @rachel?

Anyway, here’s the post she wrote for my blog.

@felicity

I’ve self-published a standalone short story, two short story collections, and a novel. I prefer self-publishing, personally, for the freedom it provides and for the opportunity to work with my own choice of collaborators (editors, artists, etc.), but I would like to try traditional publishing down the road as well for the sake of…[Read more]

@folith-feolin

Woah, this is awesome! I love the rhythm and the adventure-esc feeling to it.

The only suggestion I would have is to add some more specific details about your world or characters in the song. Like something that shows that this poem could only be written in this world, or by these characters. Like lyrics about a specific event,…[Read more]

@power

The groups haven’t even grown out of hypothetical-hood yet, and Palpatine wannabes are already taking control smh.

@freedomwriter76

Woah, great ideas! Don’t be surprised you end up seeing these things come into fruition in a very hypothetical way for a very hypothetical idea.

@mineralizedwritings

Ooh, those are really cool ideas. Both could even be fun things we could do here on the forum or blog!

Like a contest where the someone posts the first chapter,…[Read more]

Also, pay no heed to Mr. Zuck. I was just looking through things I had saved on my computer and thought this was funny, lol.

@wilder-w

Woah, it’s really cool how your writing a story for your friend. To have someone write a book specifically for you, man, that’s special.

As for your question, the best thing I think to do is talk with the person you know who is a single father. And maybe, if it isn’t too touchy, mention that you are writing a book with a single father…[Read more]

@pen_for_christ205

Nice! It was one of my favorite series growing up. But when I read them there were only three books in the series?

Huh, I guess the author decided to write a couple more because of their popularity. Are the last two books in the series worth reading?

Also, I’m quite curious, what would your ranking of the five books be?

Oh, having reread North! Or Be Eaten I can say I enjoyed it much more this time around and I’m not sure why I didn’t like it as well the first time? It features a culture I enjoyed, more character development for Tink and Artham (a couple of my favorites), and several other fun additions (to the characters, world, and conflict). It’s still not as…[Read more]

@joy-caroline I usually write from beginning to end of a book unless there’s a pressing scene I wanna write, though those scenes aren’t necessarily in chronological order. It just gives me a better sense of progression than jumping around, though ofc you’re free to do whatever you want.

@microphage6032 It’s about a guy who’s brother becomes a serial killer so he goes out to find him, but the only problem is everyone thinks he’s his brother. A retelling of the prodigal son, Cain and Abel, etc. It’s set on a different planet and there’s some things here and there but otherwise not too many sci-fi elements in it.

@ava-blue Yea, I have a cyberpunk AU for one, and school AUs for others, but I only really work on them when I’m super bored.

@microphage6032 Sounds a little like Cells at Work, heh. Right now I’m working on a sci-fi novel, though I wouldn’t necessarily call it full sci-fi or my main genre.

@godlyfantasy12 My username is lyz

@godlyfantasy12 Yes pwease :3

I use Amazon/KDP. It’s been really easy and straightforward to use; my only complaint is that I don’t like having to support Amazon’s values by working with them. XP

I like the character/integrity of Vervante (an independent print-on-demand service), but they will cost you an arm and a leg; that’s why I didn’t publish with them,…[Read more]

@power

Woah, how did you find it? There must have been some runaway link somewhere or something lol.

You didn’t miss it, you found it early! 😂 I’m still finishing up all the details of the shop, but the merch will be officially out very soon!

@lrose5 Good luck with that! Glad everything worked out.
