@CK4Always Yep, that’s how it should be.

@CK4Always I’m not completely sure I understand what you’re asking, but what you described sounds about right. If you paste the link in an email or thread or something, everyone you send the email to will have access to the Google Doc.

Well that was stunning… I feel slightly dazed. This is something I’ve struggled with for a while—the deep places of my soul that need understanding, but no one can understand. Turning to fictional characters in fictional worlds to keep me company, because there’s no one else.
Thanks for this, @Christi-Eaton. It was monumentally encouraging and…[Read more]

@winter-Rose Yay! So glad it’s going well so far. Don’t get flushed down the toilet or anything—the Realm of Pen needs you. 🙂

@emma-flournoy @kate-flournoy @his-instrument What about this?

When fate seeks to destroy you, where can you turn?

Matthew has sworn to avenge a murder…

@emerald-flyer Makes sense. Wayne Thomas Batson’s Dark Sea Annals are probably my favorite works of Christian fantasy and he’s currently re-releasing them this month, so if you’re looking for new books in the genre, that would be my recommendation. 😉

@perfectfifths Cool; to expand that a bit, putting otherwise-unsympathetic characters in sympathetic relationships can be really crucial for building empathy between the characters and the audience. If a sympathetic character likes an otherwise-unsympathetic person, it’s easier for the audience to like that person as well, which sounds like what…[Read more]

@Daeus Meh. Though with that ton of downloads at least you know people are interested. Slightly at least. *snort* Good luck with thy promotion.

@kate-flournoy Don’t worry, I was sort of like that too when I first read it. 😉

Wow… um… wow.

Okay that was basically my existence in a nutshell… I think I’m going to be floored and absolutely useless for the rest of the day. 😛
Thank you so much for sharing, @Christi-Eaton. That was beyond encouraging.

Welcome! We are so glad to have you around here! I love seeing all of the new faces around the forum.:D Again, welcome!!

@aratrea That’s a really interesting question… One thing I find sad is that Aquila’s relationship with his son isn’t all he had hoped it would be, so for one thing I’d probably tweak that a little and make them more friendly with each other. 🙂

@jessi-rae Neat; how far into the story are you?

@emma-flournoy Sold? Not very many. When it was free though, I got something like 2,000 downloads. I haven’t been promoting it really. That’s why I’m trying to revive this ad thing. I actually have time for it almost. 😉

@perfectfifths Ah; I see. Yeah, I would probably fit it into the positive arc then. Here’s a question to consider that you may find helpful: if you were going to go through and revise Sutcliffe’s book, how would you change the story/the protagonist’s character arc to make the story more enjoyable to you? I find that when I do this with books I…[Read more]

@Emerald-Flyer Welcome to the site! You’ll find a lot of fellow fantasy writers here. 🙂 who are your favorite authors?

@Emerald-Flyer Fantasy is great (depending XD), and not everyone needs to write short stories too. Focus on the novels if that’s what you’re good at. 😀

@Daeus Have any idea how many copies you’ve sold?
