    Share your Novel Covers!

    Today I worked on the cover art for book2 of my series! Important, seeing how Book1 is now entirely available online and I didn't want to start uploading chapters of book2 until I had a nice cover!

    Oh, Burgers, maybe? Too bad the wheat and gluten will try to murder me if I ingest it. I'm usually smart enough to not eat foods that my body will reject. (Btw, you muffins are safe. You folks are filled with gluten. Can't have that)

    I'm Back and Looking for Feedback

    I would have read more, alas, there were not any more for me to do so. I can't tell yet if it's going to be a favourite or not, because the mystery is such that I have no idea where things are going next! I did love the Astral/Dreamscape/Purgatory zone in the prologue and am curiuos if we'll...

    If it's between the werefood and me, I would rather eat them and live. I'm sorry, werefoods. Your sacrifice means I got to live.

    I'm still doing it (Not at Ubi, but I'm still eating. With money. From making games). I am not ashamed.

    I wanted to eat and pay rent. The things a girl will do for money.

    I'm Back and Looking for Feedback

    Like you said, three isn't a lot yet to judge the story by. Lots of mysteries going around about who Lona is and what's her connection to the withces, gods or hero. A few comments: In both chapter, you have some frequent tense slips. "Guille turned to face them" (past) followed by "he gestures...

    Most assassin's creed are the collaboration of 6-10 studios. They're pretty big projects involving thousands of people. (<<< Worked on a few of them)

    Author Preferences: Show or Tell

    I accidentally default to "telling" a lot, due to my background as a Dungeon Master for decades, I feel. I also tend to have a bit of a pedantic streak and like to use precise vocabulary. That said, I notice that I will "Tell" a lot more when I don't want to spend too long on a specific...

    Recommendations A good VR into reality story

    My story is all about the first one you asked for: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/1360568/state-of-the-art/ VRMMO, that affects real life. Others in that genre I can think of: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/60207/twisted-destiny/...

    Tell me your retcons

    Worst I have had so far is characters growing further than expected, or running away with the story. Retcons of setting details also happen as I further flesh out things. Like "oh, I established something about the price of gas in chapter 14, but there is a gas-powered car in chapter 6. I...

    Royal Road Censorship is the funniest thing I witnessed all morning

    I am surprised the cover art for my story State of the Art got John's approval at this point. The dracan girl on it shows probably as much cleavage if not more than the goblin here.

    I'm My Own Biggest Fan!

    I have many chapters of my novel that I really love more than others. It makes me so happy when readers will point out those I like less, and say how much they loved them. It tells me my intuiton to write them was right, and even if I might not enjoy reading them as much, those chapters belong...

    What if there was a genre named, 'Character.'

    I feel like the TV series of "The Expanse" feels like that, almost. Sure, it's all tied to a single narrative, but season1 feels like a Film Noir detective show, season2 like a space opera, season 3 (or was it 4?) feels like Star Gate. It impressed me how that show's seasons kept the same...

    What are the earliest memories you have of yourself?

    I remember 5 year-old me climbing in my parent's bed, asking them which day of the week it was. It was a weekend. I slipped in between them and went back to sleep. That's my earliest memory, and I can't even think of more to say about the what and why. Just that it feels almost like the moment...

    Names with a meaning vs random names

    First name is usually something that sounds appropriate. Last name, I try to pick something that fits the character or their culture.

    Do any of you lot have a 'Comfort Food'?

    I love bread. But it hates me back, and wants to murder me. Sigh, suddenly realising you’re celiac. (Gluten allergy)

    What kind of keyboard are you using?

    We have the same needs! I use a logitech G213. Love the sound and feel of every key press

    Am I the only one?

    I'm glad you didn't. Anna's Dream is such a whimsical story!
