Since I self-published, all my actual, finished book files are one lulu.com. Other than that, a thumbdrive is pretty reliable. I don’t think Daeus’s hypothetical situation is very likely to happen. 😉

Ha! Yeah, I’d better know about this. I completely lost 8 or 9 chapters of my book after dropping my computer. The answer is dropbox. Look no further. It is free and it works great. You don’t have to keep backing your book up as you keep writing either. Once your file is in dropbox, it backs it up every time you save the file. Even if a nuclear…[Read more]

Here’s a question. How would adding fantasy to the real world be any better than just creating your own fantasy world? And might it not actually be worse?

physiognomy – Dumas’ fault.

I’m not really sure; I’ve messed with the idea of some fantasy elements in our world…like time travel and book characters coming alive and yelling at their author (two different ideas). I’m not very comfortable with aliens, though I wouldn’t mind having a sifi space story that just takes place somewhere with no mention of earth… Perhaps part…[Read more]

Okay. I agree. But why? What makes it that way? After all, there is no verse in the Bible that forbids it, is there?

Or is there?

Hm… this comes pretty close. ‘Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.’ And that’s… in Proverbs,…[Read more]

Good thoughts. I especially like the idea of setting up your own small government in a dystopian world. That could be a thing— imagine a book with that as its plotline. A few devoted advocates for law in the midst of a vast sea of anarchy, struggling to bring some order without becoming as tyrannical as the anarchy they are trying to replace. I…[Read more]

Oh that’s good. I may take you up whenever I need a beta reader after all, Hope.

I know. I’m so mercenary. 😛 🙂 😉

Warning: all who enter this forum do so at the risk of their own sanity.

Okay, I’ve filled my obligations. 😛

Welcome just the same, Ivy! And yeah, fantasy is awesome. That’s primarily what I write. What genre do you most like to write?

Hi Ivy! Super glad you’re apart of the forum!

Wow, Never Alone sounds wonderful! Can’t wait for it to be published… (I’ll add it to my, “books to be read”list 🙂

When you’re not reading or writing, how do you enjoy spending you’re free time?

Ah, thanks, @ivy-rose. Not sure if I quite deserve it considering the earlier drafts you read…though I do (quite humbly, of course) claim to be a pretty good beta reader when it comes to plots, characters, and emotions. 😉

Welcome, @ivy-rose. 😉 How is Never Alone coming? Will I get to read it through again? Also, um, what’s indie publishing?

Hi Alia! Welcome to KP! How neat that you lived in China. I’ve not seen Doctor Who, and Star Wars isn’t exactly my favorite, so I’m not much help in that department. 🙂

Amanda, I have a sister adopted from China, too! 🙂

I’m new here, and I’ll introduce myself properly in a little while. 🙂 I just wanted to say that I’ve had the privilege of reading King’s Armor already (twice, in fact) and it is well worth the read. Hope is an excellent writer. And, she’s an amazing beta-reader, too. 🙂

I’m back.

Well, where there is no justice there should be some. This is not to say that you should always force justice. When however you live in dystopia, it is probably time to set up your own government, even if it is a very small one. But let us say that won’t or hasn’t worked out. What then? First, it is interesting to note that the bible…[Read more]

Probably not. He would probably just take it and swallow it.
