I like the idea of having a young child for a main character, and I’ve written short stories with children, but so far all my novels star adults…and a couple of older teenagers. Re-writing my characters as younger would really mess with the stories’ plots (because they are romances) but with a different genre, this would be an interesting…[Read more]

My book is called, “Memory Lane Was Moved”. It is for ages 9-12, but any age can read it. It is FREE for five days starting today! I would love it if you would tell your friends about it (especially the ones with kids)! Here is the link.

Fun fact, the Jason Bourne movies inspired this book!

@zee Thank you so much! In all, I have gotten 15 downloads.

Hey, @hobbitchild, I just picked up my copy of your book! Looking forward to reading it. Please do keep us posted on how things go. I’m pretty new at this game myself (having published my first book only a few months ago) but I’d love to help you out or share ideas if there’s any way I can.

Thanks for the tag, @hobbitchild! This is cool to watch. Feel free to tag me if you post anything more about this.

@zee

Yes, I’d love to help!

 The more eyes, the better!

Indeed mam.

I will do the same for you.

“you could give as much or as little critique as you felt in the mood for”

Thank you for offering to read my book.

Gracie, I totally understand if you’ll be busy, but if you’re willing to help, I don’t mind if it takes a while.

And you could give as much or as little critique as you felt in the mood…[Read more]

I’m new, so I hope you all don’t mind me jumping in to comment. Just wanted to say thanks to you, Rebekah, for being so willing to share your struggles and questions, and for having the humility to take even the painful advice in the spirit it’s meant. And to the rest of you, thanks for sharing your wisdom! I’ve also recently self-published…[Read more]

character development

I’ll tag you to a character building game on here.

It’s helped me with learning about and rounding some of my characters.

Would you be interested in giving me a more in-depth critique of the whole thing as I go along?

Interested, yes, very. (But I’m not sure you want me to do it.)

Disclaimer: I’m not sure if I’d be a very…[Read more]

I love your story past and plan! With that description, I would buy it.

I saw a few minor typos, but that (from my point of view) was all that was wrong per se.

I liked how you described the atmosphere of the old man’s home. And then this:

a dark sadness without an end in sight.

That stuck with me.
