So…I sorta disappeared for the weekend, but I’m back!!!

I have 3 characters; here are their descriptions:

Tagging @Ethryndal for gracing us all with her dazzling wit and making us all laugh with her snazz and sarcasm. Every forum needs a sarcastic elf.

@Joy perfect! So glad it was helpful. 😀

@jane-maree @cindygreen Thanks so much!

Glad it helps!

And yeah, obviously, you don’t want to spoil your story before you publish it. You don’t want to give everything away. Just give little teasers, and of course, talk about your process of creating your novel, because that doesn’t give anything away, but increases interest.

@daughteroftheking Thanks!

@reaganramm Wow! Thanks so much! This is infinitely helpful! I was wondering about this because I read an article about someone who said never to talk about your novel before publishing it because it would make the book jaded whenever it came out, but now I think that article was probably wrong. XD 😛

Well, I knew I wanted to publish before I go…[Read more]

Here’s our video, @dragon-snapper !

Hope it helps!

5 Reasons You Should Be Talking Up A Storm About Your Novel Before You Even Publish It

Great question, @dragon-snapper

We’ll shoot a video on this, but I can give a quick answer here.

In short, definitely!

First of all, why is your timetable so long? Why not publish this year?

Second, I think it’s a great idea to talk about your novel. In fact, the more the better!

Did Disney keep it a secret when they were planning The Force…[Read more]

@dekreel Classic.

@jenwriter17 Yeah. I think it’s the “Worst Allegory Ever” video.

@dekreel XD I figured.
