No worries. I’ve done that before. XD

It’s gone pretty well so far! The paperback delay was frustrating (I still don’t have my copies; Amazon is taking forever), but no one has seemed too upset about it or anything. XD And it gave me an excuse to do more with the shop on my site, which is a long-term plus. The book seems to be…[Read more]

There are a lot of characters in each, so I can’t really blame you. XD Older superhero versions are often best, lol. Though I’ve had some surprises recently with newer superhero media.

So am I, so I definitely understand. XD

Aw, thank you! I really appreciate your sharing the infographic to your story. ^-^ Honestly, just sharing stuff is awesome…[Read more]

Smallville is DC, not Marvel, but it’s pretty good! I watched the whole series and enjoyed it.

I was advised to start with either Mistborn or Elantris and Mistborn caught my eye more readily so I went with that. XD That is super annoying. 😛 It’s worst when they have apparently random books from a series with books missing in between, as opposed…[Read more]

Ooh, neat! That reminds me a little of the way kryptonite works in the old Smallville show. Throwing in that bit of political/social intrigue is really cool! I love how you’ve integrated those elements with one another. 🙂

Interesting! I haven’t read Elantris yet, but having read the first two Mistborn novels I’m definitely interested in reading…[Read more]

I do! I have a whole folder here. Thanks for asking! What’s your social media handle? I’d be happy to follow you. ^-^

I know that feeling, lol. I’ve gotten a lot better about it over the years, but I definitely jumped around quite a bit before settling on this next project. XD Your duology sounds neat! Discovery writing is a lot of fun. What’s…[Read more]

I’m participating! I’m plotting a sci-fi novel. Hopefully I’ll start drafting by the time the challenge ends, but we’ll see how things go; I’m trying to take this project slow and ease back into writing after almost three years of editing and publishing prep, lol. (Those three years are finally finishing up when my fantasy novel releases a week…[Read more]

Awesome! I’m glad it helped. 🙂

I’ve known some guys who fit that description and are still definitely masculine, and in trying to break it down I think the main thing is that they do a good job of filling their biblical role as men. They do exemplify gentleness and self-control, they’re polite, but they’re also protectors, they’re not afraid to do the hard things, they often…[Read more]

@kaytlin-phillips

Kaytlin! Welcome to SE! 😀

You’re welcome. Likewise! 🙂

No worries! I’ll usually talk for as long as there’s a conversation to be had, so I’m down for long conversations but I’m also content when a conversation naturally winds down/someone runs out of things to say. *shrugs* I’m pretty chill. XD

Yeah, for many horse people it’s a passion of theirs, and for me it’s more of a casual interest. XD There’s nothing wrong with that, and I actually love seeing people do what they love, so that’s another fun thing about working with horses and their people, lol.

Aw, thank you! ^-^ Yes, I’m so happy with the artwork! My cover designer and the…[Read more]

@unicorntamer

Not really. I have some photographed in my phone because I shared them with particular friends, but I don’t consistently post my finished designs anywhere. (I have a DeviantArt account I created for following artists; I could start posting there if I wanted a place to share my designs more often.)

Probably. That’s the…[Read more]

Yeahhh agreed. XD

I was a summer camp counselor at a Christian horse camp last summer, so I worked with horses for about three months there. I learn quickly and I’m pretty comfortable around (most) horses, so it’s a good fit for me. But I do feel out-of-my-depth sometimes since most of the folks I’ve worked with (both here and at the summer…[Read more]

@erynne

I’ve been working a new job that’s been zapping my energy, lol. It’s not bad work–I groom horses and do some maintenance stuff on an equine farm–but it is pretty draining. On the other hand, having a lot of my time taken up has pushed me to make better use of the time I have left over and I’ve been able to get some platform-building…[Read more]

I use plenty of references. XD Style… Realistic, I suppose? At least, that’s the intention. XD There’s a mix of for-fun and for-characters. I started out focusing on characters, but after I decided I enjoyed design I started doing more just for fun as well. I also have several designs that aren’t for specific characters but are representative…[Read more]

@noah-cochran

I actually just wrote a social media post about this question, lol. Here’s a brief excerpt from that post:

The average line editor will cost somewhere between $500 and $800 for a novel-length work, and sometimes more if you have a particularly long novel. I’ve personally considered one editor who charged around $300 and one who c…[Read more]

Self-publishing, I presume? If you’re going the traditional route, you’ll need an agent and the agent will connect you with a publisher who will provide an editor. You can hire an editor on your own beforehand, but it’s more common to hire an editor out-of-pocket when you’re going indie.

First, you need to be aware that there are different kinds…[Read more]

@josiah The forum ate my post. 😛

Whoops! I forgot to answer this question. My dystopian tends to be a little more sci-fi than dystopian, with the societal problems more subtly beneath the surface than a lot of dystopian and more emphasis on the technological advancements on earth. (Not a whole lot of space travel involved, since for some reason I’ve always had trouble with that…[Read more]

Ooh, nice! I love the look of watercolor, though I’ve never learned to work with it personally. The most visual art I normally do is some fashion design with colored pencils now and then; clothes seem to be the only thing I really have a knack for. XD

YES! You do ballroom! Me too! I love ballroom dance. It is so much fun. Swing and waltz are…[Read more]
