Feel free to barge in anytime. 🙂

I will most definitely be checking that link out, thanks for sharing. 🙂

Nine drafts? Yikes, you must be quite the perfectionist. xD By drafts I assume you mean editing runthroughs? Or do you mean actually re-writing/recasting each chapter? Even 5 drafts seems like a lot to me. xD

@rose-colored-fancy

Wow, that is crazy thought out…and I love it. xD It sounds like that will make the depth and nuances of your book all the better, keep me updated on your progress till completion. 🙂

@wisdomofprose

Hey Shira, I don’t think we’ve met. How long have you been writing? What’s your WIP about?

I’ve been considering NaNoWritMo, but my first draft is nearly complete so I’m afraid I will run out of word to write. xD We’ll see though.

Then I spent the next year researching self-publishing and marketing

Okay, you’ve piqued my attention. 🙂 What has your research shown? Do you happen to have a step by step process for step publishing type up somewhere that you could share with me? Or is it all in your head? xD If you ever have the time, I would love to hear…[Read more]

Nice, that’s great that you’re able to make a career at of it.

@rose-colored-fancy

Thanks for the tip Rose! That was a great video. I had been planning something similar to this, and I already have a mental list in my head that I want to recast, so I think were on similar tracks. Do you recast the scenes you have chosen to recast first? Or do you go through the book chapter by chapter and recast the scenes…[Read more]

@scoke

Hey Scott!

So do you plan to write any novels or are you going to stick with role playing? What is your current WIP?

Glad to have you man!

@this-is-not-an-alien

Thanks for all the tips Cathy. 🙂

Draft three or four? How many books have you written? xD

I really enjoyed reading that piece of your writing, that was unique way to show his internal conflict. Skillfully done. I do have one slight off topic question though, do you prefer present tense over past tense? You were using…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy

first-person retrospective, as though the character themselves are writing the book years after the event in a journal or something of the like.

I am totally unfamiliar with this PoV. xD Could you give an example of this is use?  Would it be like a “I then sat on a chair, and glanced out one of the many windows that had, at…[Read more]
