Where do I start for publishing? Do I just do it after I’ve read through my novel over fifty times over four years? How much should I pay to publish indie?

Editors, are there any out there that a youth could afford? How do I find them?

Cover design. Who do I go to do that? How expensive is it to get a quality cover?

How long should…[Read more]

I feel you about autocorrect and unusual words/names. I have the same problem, but what really gets me is when I’m proofreading along thinking, “All right, that’s just a name, that’s just a name…” and then later on, boom! I realize a misspelled word snuck in along with them.

As for questions, @e-k-seaver, I guess my biggest…[Read more]

Sorry to disappoint!

I have written a lot and had several people beta for me. Again, not certain if that counts.

Yours looks interesting–a little different than what I’ve tried before. If you want, I’d be happy to give it a shot. Would you be willing to beta read…[Read more]

So, basically an art trade is where we trade characters we’ve drawn.. So, we trade our art! It’s just a fun way to see what your character looks like in someone else’s art style!

That’s so interesting! I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks!

First off, sorry it took me so long to reply! I’m not on here very often. XP

Thanks for the information! I think I get it, but this is one of the first times hearing of the cognitive functions.

Ni and Si are both introverted, but the difference is intuitive vs sensing, right? So I need to narrow him down to one of those?
