The results are in!
Note: I’m listing these in no specific order to give you all my thoughts
Liberty:Â First of all, I love your style. I think I’ve read one other thing of yours before, but I don’t remember being blown away by the word choice like I was with the first…[Read more]

Okay! I finally got to read through this so far. Here’s my thoughts:
1) Joseph is a dear little boy who might need to be protected from his author.
2) You tend to rely a little heavily on Telling over Showing. For instance, you saying he is struggling with nightmares is unnecessary, since I can see that well enough from his POV…[Read more]

That is awesome. I wonder if our ancestors fought with, or against each other… XD

Gotcha. I just meant I didn’t have much to say about the segment, but I still enjoyed reading it.

@ellette-giselle Looks good! I don’t really see anything to fix 😊

Alrighty, I finally finished reading through all of your stories for the first time. I’m gonna read through them again and then give you my thoughts, so hopefully you’ll have the results by this afternoon.

Baron (Brutus)—with Group 1, Elderstrand edge
Brutus sighed. “If he calls for help, I will not hesitate to answer, but you must all go on. He is fighting so you can get a head start running, don’t waste it. I’m staying here to make sure he’s alright.”

Felicity—Group 1, ElderstrandÂ
Felicity shot a glare at the guy who had just brought everyone to the roof. He was currently lying down, exhausted, and right within kicking range. Felicity did not like being pulled from a fight before she could finish it.

because girls think stuff is gross that guys think is funny
Oh…that honestly makes sense.
I’ll give you my thoughts when I give it to everyone else, but I think you’ll be surprised. I’m a farm girl, I’ve seen some gross things.

Brutus nodded, even though he knew the strain on him would probably temporarily cripple him.
He lifted Leon from where he lay on the other rooftop first, bringing him back over to their group. He was still out cold, and…[Read more]

I did think it was funny. I also thought it was gross. Quite gross. Grossly gross. But it was funny.
Still wondering how y’all come up with stuff like that though.

I wish this forum wasn’t mostly girls
Uh…okay. Out of the blue but okay. I don’t understand how that relates to your story but okay.

Copy pasting tags has always worked fine for me. You just need to make sure they’re spaced out properly

Thank’s Freedom! I’ll take a look!

Just copy and paste from the last person’s post, and then delete your name out and add the name of the last person.
Sometimes I forget that you’re relatively new to KP, XD. It feels like you’ve been here as long as I have most of the time.

Awesome!! Thank you for the update! It’s good to hear that things are going well, even if there have been many tears involved (that just means its a good book, right?). Hope your characters aren’t giving you too much pain. XD
@koshka Thank you! :3 And yes, many tears involved XD (but yesss. I personally love books that make me cry😆). Pffffffft they always are: it’s just a given by this point🙄 I’d say Leon more than Riker in Book #2 tho, but then again, they’ve both broken me🫠
Thank you so much for the update!
Oh now I really can’t wait! Reading the impactful stories is so, so good. I’ve written a few of those books that really make me cry, but it’s often those books that end up having the most beautiful message and I am the most excited to let others read. So I really can’t wait! Do you have a tentative release date…[Read more]
@ellette-giselle I’m so glad you’re excited!! :3 And I’m certainly hoping it’s impactful💜
Hmmmm…no exact release date, as everything depends on getting some final steps done, including (but not limited to): finalizing a blurb/cover, getting it up on Amazon and getting a proof copy to look over (which the copy could take up to 2 weeks for me to…[Read more]
I’m so excited!!!!!!
I’m also looking at a spring 2025 release for the first book in my Saga! We’ll have to see who gets their book out first!
@ellette-giselle Ooh exciting!!
Oh my gosh Freedom!!! That’s awesome girl!! I’m so excited for you!!
And tysm for keeping us updated, I’ll be praying that the publishing and editing process goes smoothly. 🤍 I’m planning on getting Freedom’s Fire this month or for Christmas, I’m SO excited to read it🤩
And I’m so excited to read book 2 but also so not prepared, I’ve already…[Read more]
@lightoverdarkness6 TYSM GIRLY!!!! 💜💜💜💜
Ty for the prayers <3 AHHH I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU TO READ IT!!!!!!
yesssss, it's a roller coaster that's for sure😭
Awesome!! I’m so excited for you!!! I can’t wait!! ✨
I’m not sure if you’ve answered this before, but I was wondering why you chose self-publishing over traditional? I have nothing against it of course, I’m just curious. 😊
@esther-c Tysm, girl! <3
I went with self-publishing for a few reasons.
1. To have complete control over my novels, what I'm writing, etc.
2. To get more of an income from it (publishers take a LOT of the money when you publish your book simply bc of the agreement and the fact that they do most of the work).
3. Often, publishers make you sign a…[Read more]
Ok, interesting! Yeah, that does answer my question! 😊 I’ve considered self-publishing, but I think I’m gonna go with traditional. At least that’s what I’ve been thinking about and drawn to lately. Your reasoning totally makes sense though! <3
OH! And I wanted to let you know, I talked to someone who’s done publishing through Amazon and she says that you an get replacement copies if they mess up the formatting and send out the messed up books to people. I’m not exactly sure all the details and how that works with shipping or refunds, but I can talk to her again and get the info for you…[Read more]
@esther-c Best of luck to you with traditional publishing!💜
and wellllllll Amazon messed up the formatting for the actual document, so a replacement would (first come out of my pocket, Amazon doesn’t pay for replacements) but would be just as messed up anyhow simply bc the document itself was messed up because I didn’t know that Amazon’s paid…[Read more]
Thanks girl!! 🩷
Ughhh, that’s annoying 💀 But I suppose you live and learn. 🤷🏻♀️ At least you know for next time. :))
I’m so excited!!! And somewhat concerned for your poor characters. 😬 What are you doing to them?!
@theducktator Yay!!!! heh heh heh
they’ll be finnneeeeee
