Dionne | 46 comments I've already gone past that. I just have to get over that one hump. . . my ol' doubts. But usually they don't last...like now.

Going to do this now.

I have been writing a story on my Goodreads account, but I am not done yet. But you may look at what I have so far. I did write it on paper before. So while typing it, I am modifying the story a bit.

Dionne | 46 comments Sounds interesting. What's it about?


message 406: by [deleted user] (new)

Hello! I'm Mandi. Reader, writer, geek. I've been haunting Goodreads for a while now and figure it's time to get social, so... ta da.

It's about a family, the Blackwoods, that is trying to keep each other safe. A sister that has a secret as well as always trust in her brother to a fault. A brother, a warrior, that will do whatever it takes to protect his sister and his family... no matter the cost. A kingdom with a tyrant for a king, that doesn't trust anyone, not even his own children.

Dionne | 46 comments What's the title? Seems interesting. And where can one find it?


message 409: by [deleted user] (new)

It's not done yet, so I don't have a title for it.


message 410: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm thinking of naming it either "Serana's Blood", "Garrett's Promise"....


message 411: by Dionne (new)

Dionne | 46 comments Wow. So, what happened? Everyone seems to have disappeared. haha

Dionne | 46 comments Hiya newbies. Wasn't too long since I first joined. I think you're going to have great fun here.


message 419: by Dionne (new)

Dionne | 46 comments Interesting. Oh, I've put up chapter 1 of my story in the fantasy section. You can check it out whenever.

So, what does one do in the role playing threads besides role play? Though I would also like to ask what kinds of role playing is there?

There are plenty of cool books to read. Did you read any cool books yet, or do you have any published work?
I love to read and write.

Check out my book, it's in bookstores.

I understand that, just trying to make light of something that was possibly wrong without starting anything bad I'm a bit weird that way hehe


message 435: by Vanessa (new)

Vanessa M Chattman (vmchatt) | 39 comments I joined a poetry book club. I think that's best for right now.

any club is good, as long as you like what's there. just read the rules, do as the rules say, don't overadverise either, not trying to be mean, I'm an aspiring author and was lucky enough to get some tips, just trying to help. most groups have specific folders for advertising haha, I wish you luck just you know, don't overdo it, it kinda turns people off sometimes :)

alright cool, well shit happens Vanessa sometimes it's wrong and sometimes just embarrassing but least you know, no need to disappear and what not

Whoa, okay, I wasn't telling you to leave. I get that you want people to read your book. I'm just saying it's probably better if you only post your advertising on a thread for that purpose. If there isn't one, ask the mods to make one. It's just kind of annoying when other threads get bogged down by links (especially over and over again). I do wish you luck in selling your book! Again, sorry if I seemed rude. I didn't mean to come off that way. Just trying to help.

I know that's for her bbuuuuuut my books are also on the market lmao but before I just go posting is there any certain way to do it correctly? not the advertising but the creating a subject and what not


message 446: by Anna (new)

Anna M. Watson | 66 comments No idea. It doesn't look like there's any particular way of doing it. But I haven't done it myself, so I'm not sure. I'm also not a mod. ;)


message 447: by Anna (last edited Feb 08, 2014 06:05PM) (new)

Anna M. Watson | 66 comments There's a "new topic" button there. That could work.

What do you write, Michael?

woo for nonmods lmao I mean woo for mods (paranoia haha don't piss off no mods XD )

mostly horror, a lil fantasy in the mix, mostly amateur but always willing to grow :) erotic horror, general horror, suspense but each (of the four stories in my ebook) carries a slight deeper idea that was inspired by a point in my life or just a normal moment (nothing new with most authors I'm just proud that I've evolved to doing that in my own writing)

damn self-centered paragraph much? XD lol I'm a tad bit hyper at the moment sorry O.o


message 449: by Anna (new)

Anna M. Watson | 66 comments haha That's the kind of paragraph I wanted, so don't worry. ;) I mean, I asked what you write.

Sounds cool. Did you publish traditionally of self-pub?

I write fantasy myself, but I haven't published anything yet. Still working on making it better. :)


message 450: by Michael (new)

Michael Benavidez I tried traditional, like getting it in horror magazines and what not, but that failed a bit and I was/am a tad bit impatient lol so I got my best edited to the best of my abilities and used amazon haha

I think fantasy is pretty amazing and hope you the best to getting it to the point where you have it best (its a theory that I have that no author believes their work is perfect even when it is lol)
