C.B.’s comments from the Support for Indie Authors group.

In Aladdin the animated series, to combat the Genie's powers his magic would not work on other magic. Magic could not alter magic.

I always liked that.

Also, it didn't work on machines, because reasons.

Pop!

I moved your post to the correct folder Sam.

We always need hips, because they cannot lie.

I've started a relief fund for them. Please donate generously. We desperately need Thigh donations.

I like it. I shall attempt to make it Chapter 26 even!

Perhaps the word is 'hallelujah'"

It might even be less than a word. It will probably be:

!

and that is it.

Christina wrote: "Make sure this is the chapter with the longest chapter name."

That was the plan. :D The chapter name tells you far more than the chapter. It will be a grand reaction shot to something vital.

I make every chapter as long as it needs to be. :)

In every full length book I have I try to make a one page chapter, as a joke about how short that chapter is.

I strive for one day having a chapter that is a single word. :)

That is probably a good stance to take, considering your book cover and title combo makes me think of this as fan art! :D

Here is your first fan art - For the Love of a Centaur by A.S. McGowan



Seriously, if this book isn't about accidentally falling in love with your father's centaur business partner, I don't think I can continue on. Just look at his tie! It is amazing.

Warcraft was great! it's the exception though to video game movies, not the rule. :)

As long as they aren't movies!

Oh sweet Maker. If I answer this properly it will take the rest of the month!

I will just say.... All of them! I blame all of them!

:D

It appears as if you already engaged, a few days ago.

I'd suggest deleting that comment, and honestly this entire thread. Don't throw your possible career away because of one star. You reported it to Amazon, nothing else will help at this point.

Disengage.
:)

Hello Rizember, this isn't the place to promote your services. You can start a thread in the SIA Reader and Writer Showcase if you wish.

Um...
cAPS lOCK? LoL

I certainly have a book layout style that is unique! :D
Besides that, I always include:

- An onomatopoeia as the first word that relates to the theme of the series.
- A joke about the book cover.
- Someone saying nothing but a ♥!
- A blurb that follows the same layout.

I believe that it good idea to have the entire story fleshed out before you publish any one part of it.
It doesn't need to be all written mind you, but I found it helpful to have everything planned out, so that I had the ability to go back into book 1 and revise it before releasing it.

That would also help with a decision about length of the book. Once it is all fleshed out you will have a better idea how many words there will be and if you should split it or not. :)

I've been in the beta since the very beginning! I haven't used it, I already use Createspace. Sorry, I can't help.

I'll agree with Christina here. I originally wanted to make my shorts perma-free but I prefer them now that they have promotional potential instead.

The ability to freebie things quickly for events or days is marvy.
