Tomas, sorry bro, I remember getting your message and I was going to respond but I was too busy floating in the water I forgot to.

4Th of July is next week which is the 3rd quarter of the year so I will be busy that entire month. I wont be able to write until next month. But then I'll have 2 months to kick back and smash my fingernails against the keys.

Just got back from Parker Canyon Lake with the family. I'm burnt and tired lol. How is everyone doing? We are getting some crazy heat waves down in the SouthWest. Stay safe, enjoy the evenings and keep in touch.

@K,

Congrats on the release of Noemi's Reckoning. No wonder your getting so much spam mail.

Ah well. It would have been cool if you did.

After you publish it you can still go back and update it.

Learned the hard way? Did you bite your finger and use your own blood to write ideas down on the wall?

checking in. Did anyone get their book published?

Just finished chapter 11 of a side tangent when I'm supposed to be working on my 2nd book of my trilogy. I'm shooting for a 2k word chapter and its going really well. I feel like this is a good choice of fluidity in case anyone is wondering how long or short to set their chapters.

How is everyone doing? Its getting hot here in Arizona.

I found that people who plant trees also run a shady practice.

Lmao. I received a text message yesterday saying, Kevin this is your last chance to claim your ps5. I thought to myself, who's Kevin?

I hadn't realized that there exists such a huge black market for books. From what it seems, if someone wanted to read indie books for free, there is a large availability of that for only the small fee of an actual review. No need to pay a monthly fee for self published books.

No worries, worked out well anyway since I'm actually re-reading it.

I was under the impression that it was complete but you were waiting to officially publish it because you were working on the rest of the trilogy and had reservations about things changing as you continued writing. It wasn't until I clicked on your blog that I became mentally woke.

Tomas wrote: Many groups have quite strict rules about links and self-promotion, so I try ..."


True. They are usually strict and don't allow helpful links in just to avoid harmful links which is just bad moderation in my opinion. Because the GODS are dedicated to helping and informing scribblers, I think we can better moderate and categorize helpful links/info without spamming each other into annoyance.

By the way, I hadn't realized that you had officially launched your book. I added it to my currently reading page so that I can leave you a review. Reviews are by far the most difficult things to acquire in a community full of readers lol.

@Tomas I don't see why it would be a problem. The intention of the link is to better inform other scribblers. It's posted with good intentions. This is the entire idea behind GODS. Helping each other to achieve success through knowledge and sharing.

Now you just need to write a blog about the different self publishing companies. KDP, Ingramspark, Lulu etc.

There are a lot of options available to you. Were you trying to go for a traditional publishing route or self publishing?

If self publishing are you thinking more along the lines of ebook, paperback or hardback covers?

@ Thomas, I just did in April. Working on my next projects. Do you think you will be publishing this year as well?

@Rachel congratulations! What's your next step after your final review?

Sonja I added it under the authors beware topic. Thank you!

Were their emails the same as the ones I posted?

Most likely just free subscribers to their content.

I fired off 4k words yesterday on a stray idea that turned into the beginning of a new story. Feeling pretty good today.
