Ooh I had an idea for a si-fi story where “islands” were built and hovered in the air using artificial gravity because the government deemed the ground-level “uninhabitable” so cities were built on the island and an AI was designed to control all the resources. This had a sprinkling of magic to explain most of the technological difficu…[Read more]

Hrm. The first step to stop shouting into the void is to realize that you are not in a void. You need to go out and grab some people. This is why I like Twitter because I can just follow and retweet and respond to the people I want, and then find out from them what social media content to produce to keep them around.

But who should you invite to…[Read more]

@taylorclogston I’m taking notes. That’s definitely good stuff for Amazon publishing that I appreciated reading.

Mostly the approach I’ve been taking is to build my social media platform and website before publishing any books, because that’s the approach that I feel comfortable with – I want to publish my books to an audience.

But it is a LOT…[Read more]

@rebekah-elizabeth You’re quite welcome! Glad to be of help. 🙂

@josiah Thank you for the advice! I appreciate all that you do for SE members, and, though I don’t often have time to be active on the SE forum, the influence you and the other staff members have had on me over the past few months through the podcast, summit recordings, and emails has been invaluable. Thank you so much!

Hey Livi,

Nice to meet you. I’m Mason but my nickname is Birdman (hence my username). Happy early birthday! That’s cool that you’ve tried composing.

Thanks for taking…[Read more]

@sam-m Thank you! 🙂

Hey there! A bit of a late welcome, but better late than never, I suppose 🙂 Your book sounds awesome!

And nice to meet you! I’m Livi. I’m a week away from turning 16, and I also enjoy writing (surprise, surprise XD). I love music, and I’ve tried to compose a few songs (none of them went anywhere, but it was a…[Read more]

They are offering some interactive events, mainly zoom meetups I think.

I have some familiarity with that convention (at one point I was tossing the idea around of attending it in-person a year ago or so before everything else in the world happened) but haven’t kept up with it in 2020. Are they just offering sessions or do they also offer agent appointments and other interactive events?

This is the first I’ve actually heard of that convention.

@daeus-lamb Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll check it out!

@r-m-archer I read a book that kinda had this theme. Synapse. Christian guy. It had more to do with the problem of suffering and didn’t go super in depth on AI, but it could be worth reading for inspiration.
