@His-Instrument What they said. Exactly. 😉 If you still want someone to read the first few chapters, I could probably do that. If you still think it’s necessary. The premise really interests me at least, and I know already I wouldn’t put a book down just after that.

@his-instrument My thoughts are that in the opening chapters, you want to be intentional about showing the reader what the tone of your story is, so they know what to expect. If the dark/sad elements in the beginning are conveying that, it may not be a problem. Unless you just want the story to be lighter in tone overall. In that case, I find the…[Read more]

@his-instrument I love the plot line.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to read the first chapters, but just some thoughts. I think you can set a tone in these first chapters that lets your reader know you’re not out to scare them. If you don’t get too graphic with the murder and torture scene and you give the reader one or two, morally good, hopeful…[Read more]

@his-instrument  I love the storyline!

It does sound kind of dark. Maybe you could like spread out the dark a little bit…?

Anyway, sure! I’ll read it. 🙂

Someone who has more experience with plot line might be of more use, though…

Thanks @his-instrument! I’m not really sure if I want the character to have a real meaning to her (yes, I finally decided that they’ll find a girl on the doorstep!) name yet, but thanks for the suggestions and…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy If getting a good mentor is possible, I’d definitely seize on the opportunity. Like @his-instrument, I downplayed the importance for a while. Then I found one. And while I currently only have one on the publishing/marketing/business end of things, it’s insanely helpful and is going to help me avoid a lot of pitfalls. If I could find…[Read more]

@His-Instrument @Daeus @Dragon-Snapper thanks, guys. You people are the best.

I definitely agree with you about being cynical of most authors out there, Daeus. If I did seek out a mentor, it would be for the marketing/publishing side of things, even though I’m going indy.
Honestly, I feel like I can learn just as much about actual writing…[Read more]

Gotta love things like this.
