Hey everybody,
I found out about this webinar on twitter and I already signed up myself. It’s free and what writer doesn’t want to get better at selling books? (I do.)
I thought some of you might too.

Thank you Daeus. 🙂
I didn’t realize until I posted how long the scene was— sorry to give you such a substantial chunk all at once. 😛The one thing you need to know about Dallan is that he only worships Dallan. If Dallan can further his own interests by saying anything and doing anything, he will, no matter what it is he has to do. He does…[Read more]

Well, first of all, the emotions are fantastic. Dallan is wonderful bad guy. This is really well done. I only have four small points to make.
1. The second paragraph needs improvement. First of all, why is the darkness flame streaked? The big thing though is that the section, “to the voice that had broken so unceremoniously in on his meditations”…[Read more]

I have a scene I would like feedback on. Specifically, if either of the characters seems inconsistent. There’s a lot of backstory here, so a few statements may seem rather vague, but all in all I think it pretty well explains itself.
It’s the middle of the night in an army encampment.Here it is.
“Harold? Harold, is that you?”

Children of memory sounds good. I don’t think someone who has never read your books would know what it means though. It could mean a lot of things.
Generations of remembrance doesn’t sound right. Tales of remembrance would work though.

What do you guys think of ‘Children of Memory’ or ‘Generations of Remembrance’? Nothing’s final— I’m still working, but I want your opinion.

Hahaha! My siblings are tough ones. They found literally every jump-rope in the house and wrapped them all ’round and around me until I looked like some sort of… mummy or something. It took me about seven minutes to wriggle free. I’m afraid I fail as Samson. 😉

Yes! I may have to write that someday… notice I’m pointedly vague about when ‘someday’ will happen. 😛
The story could have a co-MC in an aspiring police inspector whose assignment it is to find this terrifying hobby monster and bring him to justice. -

I just made some major changes to the appearance of the site. Let me know what you think.

The Hobby Monster, a thriller.
I could see that actually.
It would be best if the story had several points of view so we could see everybody being terrified of the hobby monster and trying to figure out who he is. Meanwhile, we can see him thinking himself as doing the only good thing someone in his position can do and draw pity on him.

You know you’re a writer when you let your little siblings tie you hand and foot to a dining chair ‘just so you can know what it feels like’.
Seriously. Do this. 😀

I just had this incredibly random thought I had to share.
What if we have a protagonist with a tragic background that has made him distrustful of people, so he turns to things for companionship— specifically, art. What if we have a shy, tragic art collector whose mission it is to go around saving great pieces of art from those who don’t value…[Read more]

Yes, that’s an excellent one. I don’t think it’s used much unless to make a quick pithy moral either. That could make a great theme though.
