Thank you so much for sharing! @livgiordano

The one thing I think of, when it comes to deciding on a theme, is myself.

Sometimes, when I’m writing, I step back and take a look at my characters, only to realize that within them are little pieces of myself–loneliness, creativity, past regrets. This makes the characters more realistic; by drawing on these feelings and memories, I make them…[Read more]

Alright, folks! Friday is here, which means the next newsletter is just around the corner! But don’t worry, you can still get your advice into the newsletter! Just drop your advice here!

@ethryndal @kballen @livgiordano @rochellaine

That was for compiling the ebook. Publishing it to Amazon is also very easy.

@photobloggergal Yes, it’s very easy. Do you have Scrivener? That’s what I used so I could help you the most with that, but it’s also easy to do with Word and some other programs.

@hope and @daeus both have. Hope even created the Kindle version of the Best of 2016 KP eBook we created last year. 🙂

@livgiordano That sounds like an awesome WIP. Good luck with it!

I like 2 and 4!

Oh, somebody already asked my question. 😛

@livgiordano Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!

I’m a YDubber too, though I don’t get on the community much.

What’s your favorite fantasy book?

That’s really cool that you write novels. Do you have anything you’re working on right now? @livgiordano

@livgiordano To tag someone, make sure you add any dashes or other things that might be in their tag (the italicized line under their username) and just put @ in front of it.

For example, Sam’s tag is actually @sam-kowal

Hi @livgiordano, welcome to the most amazingest place on the internet! Glad to have you here.

What do you like to write? Stories? Poetry?

Also…are you left handed or right handed?

@That_Writer_Girl_99 aaah yes yes my sister read Scythe and O-O it sounds amazing. I haven’t gotten around to reading it but I 10000% plan to.

To whom it may concern…I recently finished a book in two hours–something I haven’t done since I was little. It was good, really good. I’m not gonna say anything about it, except that if you’re looking for a book with a great plot and plot twists and awesome characters…read Scythe, by Neil Schusterman.

@jenwriter17 Yess… I’ve been on a bit of a sci-fi kick lately, so here’s what I got in addition to those mentioned.

-Ender’s Game & Speaker for the Dead (the sequel) are my two favorite speculative fiction books of all time. There’s some language in both books, so if that concerns you, you probably want to stay clear of it, but the themes are…[Read more]

@SeekJustice THE RECKONERS AAAAHHHH *so much flailing*

@Jenwriter17 yessss for sci fi. I definitely also vouch for The Reckoners series (Brandon Sanderson) and also The lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer.

@Dekreel *punches you in the shoulder* GO FOR IT!

@jenwriter17 Definitely Out of the Silent Planet (C.S. Lewis)! And if you want something in the YA genre as well, there’s the Girl Who Could See (Kara Swanson) and Replication (Jill Williamson)

@epicaddie2 You don’t have to do this, but if you want to write a really in-depth historical fiction story, I’ve read that you don’t want to just read about the time period, but you want to read in the time period. Read the books that were famous at the time, preserved letters from the time period, newspaper articles, etc.
