2017! I’m hoping to have three books published by then.

Is it a time thing, or a concentration thing? Cause there are ways to break the concentration problem if your committed.

*Sloggels in the dust* I can’t wait that long…

And I’m trying to hurry up! I’ve got at least five people on my back, so I’m bound to finish it at least before the beginning of 2017… maybe… 😛 😉

‘Pickiness is the mother of perfection…’ I like that. That should be my motto. 😛

Thanks Daeus— all very good points. I should probably do everything you suggested…

The thing with Gair, though, is he can be really nasty. Not the sort of person who just invites friendship. Besides that, he looks sinister even if he’s on your side, and…[Read more]

Welcome, @mas410! Welcome welcome welcome!

I knew I’d been having a creepy feeling of being followed these last few months…

But this is the bestistest place on the internet. In my humble opinion. I don’t blame you at all for stalking it. 😉

I live in Southern Ohio, and love poetry too, though I don’t have the level of skill it takes to…[Read more]

Hey M.K. So you’ve been stalking me in real life too! I’m going to put that on my resumé: stalked by someone.

The celtic ball is fun. Anyone else going this spring? We could have a writer’s social. That would be purty sweet.

How you mention someone is by clicking one their profile (the little link under their picture). They will have this…[Read more]

Hey M.K.,

Welcome to the most bestistest place on the internet. It’s great to have you.

Sounds like we have a lot in common. I mean, come on, we’re fellow humans. That’s pretty sweet.

But actually, I live in central OH too, and I write poetry, so that’s quite a lot.

And congratulations for starting here. That’s something I probably should…[Read more]

schkabow! I like this. There is so very little to comment on, but because pickiness is the mother of perfection…

straightened suddenly

This really sounds fine, but as you know, it is best to avoid suddenly when you can. Instead of saying “straightened suddenly”, how about saying “bolted upright” or something.

“The best general’s in the ent…

Hahaha… so fun, @writefury! I don’t think I’ve seen the Studio C you’re referencing, but I got the story just from the poem. 🙂

Thanks so much, @writefury! Denholm and Cobalt should be friends. 😉 😛
I’ll definitely work over that line and see if I can enhance it a little… it’s funny, because I didn’t really see that line as anything all that special or out of the ordinary, but now that you mention it I can see it has potential. 😀

Yes, one thing I forgot to mention is…[Read more]

How much option you have with your logo depends on which gig you choose. There are many good logo designers on fiverr, so look them over and pick the one that seems the best. I got mine for five and it had three revisions and the guy I used (unfortunately I can’t remember who he was) gave me about three versions for each revision and I think I…[Read more]

Well actually, now that I think of it, there is one way to make yourself look way pro you might want to look into. It is also one of the cheapest ways. Get yourself a logo. How much does it cost?

$5

Fiverr, so much potential, so little cost (I should sell that tag line to them). You can get an awesome logo there for $5 and a lot of other stuff…[Read more]

Hey Hope, I just had a couple ideas about your newsletter.

First and foremost, your section “What to expect from me” should really be on your sign up page. People like to know what to expect before submitting.

Also, I can’t tell what your picture is that you have behind “writing in the light readers”. It would be best to have a picture that is…[Read more]

Wahoo! You’ve got a newsletter. Things are getting serious.

I saw that he had that book. I want to read it and his other one as soon as I can, but I’m currently reading through all the marketing books I got from goodriter. I’ve also got “let’s get visible” is in mail.

I’m now reading “book marketing is dead”. It’s really good. I also just finished “how to market a book” which I would also highly recommend.

yep

@Sarah-h— well, there are pros and cons both ways. If you have them get married at the end of the book, you end on a really sweet, fulfilling note.
If you have them get married in the middle, you can show the development of their relationship as they are married, and have them grow a lot closer than they were when they were just ‘courting’.
I…[Read more]

Oh, heh heh, you’re thinking like hollywood showing. No no hollywood. Bad bad hollywood.

I mean don’t go like, “He thought he had never seen anyone so beautiful da da da. She thought, he thought, she thought.”

That is explaining things to the reader as if they can’t understand it. They can. That’s not to say you can never use, “he thought, she…[Read more]

Or maybe I’ll just stop assuming people understand my very subtle references to things I already said. Yes, I’ll try to do that. (…though I had a lot of fun)

@sarah-h What Kate said.

Pluuuuuuuuuuus….

Show don’t tell. Show don’t tell. Show don’t tell. Show don’t tell. Show don’t tell.

Yep

Got what right?

You’d better come back on here quick, @sarah-h, before this topic devolves into complete silliness. 😀
