The Indelible Indie-ish Inkshares
Catchy mouthful of a title, right? Well, sit back and grab a beverage (or snack) of your choice because I am going to tell you a story...
Once upon a time there was a website named Inkshares. Now, for fictional purposes, we are going to imagine several things.
Thing number one: Inkshares wanted to be different.
Thing number two: Inkshares wanted to help people.
Thing number three: Inkshares wanted to be awesome.
Dear readers, I can assure you that all three things are true. Inkshares is different, helps people, and most importantly...is very awesome. Now here is why in some quite technical, non-fairytale words..
Inkshares allows readers to choose which work they want published. If you like a story, you pre-order it and help that story grow to reach a pre-order goal. If you really, really, really like the story, you tell other people about it and get them to pre-order it so you can one day hold that story in your hands (or in your e-reader of choice). And most of all, you make a writer very, very happy by enabling them to reach a goal and get published.
Isn't that a happy story?
Okay, quaint and quirky aside, here's the rundown of Inkshares.
- Writers set a crowdfunding goal for their work
- Writers ask people to help them with that goal
- The people who helped ask others to help
- Inkshares uses the pre-order money (people are only charged if a project reaches its goal) to make the writer's work into something most awesome, pretty, and then present it to the world as we know it through Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Books-A-Million, and many, many more
If you liked this story (and you like me! *insert tooth-sparkling grin*) and you want to read my work in a shiny paperback form (or e-reader of your choice) then would you please use this link and help me on my pre-order goal? It's as easy as 1-2-3-4...
1 - sign into Inkshares https://www.inkshares.com/ (sign in window is the same as creating an account)
2 - search for my book "Scribbles: A Collection of Words" and follow it (Or use this link: https://www.inkshares.com/projects/sc... )
3 - check your email (you should have two emails saying you have $5 in credits each)
4 - You can pre-order a copy of my book using the free credits given you.
Optional 5 - Put Scribbles: A Collection of Words on your to-read shelf!
The End
Psst, don't forget to check out the other books on Inkshares from the people I follow!!!

NaNoWriMo Time!
If you haven't noticed, I love making my titles both catchy and punny...get the reference for this one?
'Tis the time of frantic fingers typing desperate words, right? Okay, so maybe not that poetic, but that description sums up how I take the month of November. Two years ago I started a terrible story (I might get back to it, but there's a high chance that I won't) involving Norse myths, Jack Frost, and yetis...and then the last week of November I switched to something different and had the rough draft for Afterwards, the first book in a planned trilogy.
This November, I'm thick in the revising and polishing of my short stories for Scribbles: A Collection of Words *clears throat* which you can pre-order on Inkshares (please do!) as well as revising what I am quite positive is the finalized plot version of Afterwards.
Big things, yeah? I think so, too.
So, comment time - and please do comment! I'm okay with the sensation of talking to myself whilst writing these blog posts, but some interaction would be lovely =) - how is your NaNoWriMo going? What's the project(s) you're working on?
Hope everyone is having as much fun as I am!
