How did your goals go last week? What are they for this week?

I personally got only part of my goals done because I got a really bad cold that made it impossible to do my writing and editing. This week, I need to work on my blog tour, write at least 8,000 words, and do some editing.

@alia “Seeing as how if I do kill her off I’ll end up probably failing at doing it justice, I now feel like I have a lot to live up to.” Well, you have me if you need help… 😀

@myclipboardismyviolin  I agree with what you said!  Sorry, I didnt mean to sound mad. 🙂 I think Throne Warden was saying that he would only write help people who are…[Read more]

@ashira

While I agree with this philosophy expoused here for the most part, that angery question “Why do you write?” is too much. When I was younger, I turned to books as an escape [i]from[/i] reality, not as a [i]way to understand[/i] my own reality. As I’ve grown older, that has totally changed. Now I would tend to argue that, if we were…[Read more]

@myclipboardismyviolin, @nuetrobolt, @ashira, ooh a debate. please carry on as far as possible because this will help me decide. (I figure things out by debating. My sister will come into my room, give me a topic and a side to debate, and we’ll both debate until whoever needed a decision had made it)

Throne Warden, its true, not everyone dies in…[Read more]

@nuetrobolt  I agree, lots of people are heartless.  And there is a lot more evil in the world and through history than you seem to realize.  People DO kill little children, and do terrible things with them.  If you want me to give you a ton of historical and modern day examples, I can.  Satan is definatley that cruel, and when he controls peop…[Read more]

@bama-rose Amazon allows you to PoD through them, and if you do an offset print run (thanks for the terminology, @myclipboardismyviolin) you can sell them through Amazon.

Anybody else have ideas for this?

@taylorclogston @myclipboardismyviolin

Just out of curiosity, what is PoD?

I got this from The Complete Guide to Self-Publishing by Marilyn Ross and Sue Collier – I checked the 2010 version from the library – I should probably get a newer version.

As I probably don’t need to tell you, nine years in internet time is practically infinite and the self publishing space is very different to how it was then. I don’t have the e…[Read more]

@skye

I absolutely agree with @myclipboardismyviolin and the context of what Scripture says about this. Right on!

And I took this title a totally different way, as well. Lol! All kinds of really weird ideas.

@calebonline @myclipboardismyviolin @gabriellepollack
Thank you guys so much for your ideas. I think as of now, I have good enough reasons for her to be there without readers rolling their eyes at me. Haha. Initially, I thought when the story starts off she would already be sick/having issues. But when I figured out that it made more sense for her…[Read more]

I finished my goal! How did you all do?

My goals this week are to write 6,000 words, work on blog tour, and edit 6 chapters of novella.

Welcome, @myclipboardismyviolin! I’m glad you are here. 🙂

@myclipboardismyviolin I thought of another one. Jill Williamson’s Blood of Kings trilogy is awesome! Also, her writing gets better throughout the books.

@therealameliahoch I LOVE THE BOOKS OF THE INFINITE! I don’t think I’ve ever found anyone else who loves them, though, until now! 😀

@r-m-archer I know exactly which scene you’re talking about 😛 it kinda ruined the book for me, tbh. Also, LUNAR CHRONICLES!!

@myclipboardismyviolin As for my own recommendations, I would highly recommend Karen…[Read more]

No worries, that was me for awhile. I still go back there for all of my old favorite authors like Garth Nix and Shannon Hale, but I have ran out of Garth Nix books to read: send help. 😛 Basically anything by those two authors is really good – I particularly like Across the Wall by Garth Nix and the Books of Bayern series for Shannon Hale. The…[Read more]
