@daeus Actually, after reading everyone else’s answers I want to clarify.  I already have self-published seven books and am in the process of publishing another.  I have very good reviews from several of the many purchasers of my first six books. (I’ve sold over a hundred books.)  So, though as @clairec said, writing is more of a hobby for me th…[Read more]

@daeus

Yes, I do want to make a difference on the culture with my writing, not only on the secular publishing market, but on the Christian one as well, because I rarely enjoy anything I read in either of those (though there are novels I do love in both).

I feel my ultimate calling by God, is, like @kaya-young to become a missionary, however, I…[Read more]

@Ariella-newheart Oh yes, I have a whole book from Creation Ministries about how dinosaurs could have inspired dragons, and I’m obsessed with dragons and dinosaurs, so it was really interesting.

Oh, and the weather is very cosy thank you. Perfect for curling up in the green grass and smoking a pipe  and reading a book and “good-morning-ing” Ga…[Read more]

@rochellaine Thank you so much for those comments! I made a few wording changes and added the breaks. (plus fixed a few typos I missed the other times I tried rereading) 🙂

And you’re right. She’s not disapproving the bribe. She’s just pointing out a bit of irony. I added a sentence that’ll hopefully make that a wee bit more clear. Plus, it adds…[Read more]

@livgiordano OH NO!!!! I haven’t finished the last book yet!!! Is that a spoiler?  *screams* *bursts into tears* What am I going to do if Edmund dies?  Please tell me that doesn’t happen!

@rochellaine @salome01w4g I love the Boy Colonel, as well as the other two. XD.  I think Chester might be my favorite though. And Edmund. Wow. I think he deserves a high ranking. *cries* Especially that ending.

Okay, @skredder I’ve made a few comments indicating where you changed POVs.

I have a couple more comments to make.  One is that you usually capitalize “Prince” even when you’re not using it as a noun but as an adjective.  The only time I’ve seen “prince” capitalized except as a name like “Prince John” is when the writer is speaking about the “…[Read more]

@skredder Yes, it works!  I’ll make a few comments.

@rochellaine I think this new link will work. If not, let me know and I’ll try a different link.

Casse has only lived in cities or towns for most of her life, so she hasn’t had a lot of experience climbing trees. She can climb onto house roofs quite…[Read more]

@rochellaine YAY! That is true, free stories are awesome!

Okay, that would be great too!

Okay, thanks for the advice! (Info? Instructions? :D)

Okay. (Wow. I say that too much…) 🙂

Thanks!

@salome01w4g Praying!  What time zone are you meaning when you say 5 pm?

@daeus, sorry I didn’t see this till now. You probably already have enough answers, but I’ll do it anyway. 😉

Absolutely, but, and this ties in with the second question, as I believe someone maybe already mentioned, writing is a secondary career path for me at present; a hobby, if you will. I love it very much, would like to impact culture and…[Read more]

@sage-g  I’ll have to check out Book of a Thousand Days. Kindle is wonderful!

@ashlyvye  Ohhh! You really like the Mistborn Trilogy!. 😉 I’ll have to find and read them!

@rochellaine  HHmm… I like old romance novels! I’ll have to read those too before you *threateningly* throw those GLH books at me!

@sarah-anson Wow!  Those names are really cool!  I especially like the names Laria and Efren.

@warrenluther04 There are a lot of people here (including myself) who jump at the chance to beta-read.  Part of that reason is we all love the chance to read a free story! 🙂

Since I rarely read fantasy and am quite uncomfortable with magic, I might instead just tag people to read your story, but you’ll definitely be able to find several willing…[Read more]

@skredder There are a couple places where it’s better, but there’s still quite a bit of “head-hopping” going on. Sorry.  🙂  Would you be able to post it in an “edit” link so that I could comment on the places where it changes POV?  That would be a lot easier than trying to explain it all here on the forum.

Oh, I just want to say that reading ab…[Read more]

Thanks everyone!

You may be wondering what my goal was with this. I had a theory that most writers like you want to make an impact (you seem to agree), but that at the same time they fear being a professional author will be too hard for them and so they don’t treat themselves completely seriously. I didn’t phrase the question for that one…[Read more]

@salome01w4g No big brothers?  Aww.  I’ve got three, and my oldest brother is just as protective and caring as Dev!  Do you have any siblings at all?

I felt really cheated at the end of the fifth book when we didn’t get the scene where Tully told Mikkel he actually wasn’t marrying Bree.  Mikkel must have been so relieved!

I liked the twins pre…[Read more]

@daeus Absolutely. One of my goals is to become published. And I am vigorously trying to get contracted before college.

@daeus I would like to become an established author, but in terms of a career I feel that God has called me to be a missionary. I view writing as an extension of that. I would like for thousands of people to read what I write (if it’s any good) but it’s not my main goal.
