when i was little, I was a dinosaur kid. books and models. I was a fan of Allosaurus, and felt cheated when Tyrannosaurus Rex got all the limelight. I have no idea how the raptors got so popular. And stegosaurus was cooler than ankylosaurus, sorry. lol.

I thought writing "trashy smut" would be a w-h-o-l-e lot easier than it turned out to be. It took a whole lot of starts and "scrap it, start over" before it started to "catch". Three diff POV trials. about 16 different... okay, lost it there. Back up and keep going from point x... until I could...

okay. this is true. I honestly have this one reader. read the entire work, and talked about it. Yeah, it was the greatest thing ever. I feel like I got the most out of any little thing they dropped, because any opinion that reader has, is "informed". A person reads one chapter or part of it...

Not like *anyone* wouldn't enjoy financial success, I mean dial 1-800-come-on-now. But still, I believe its really about the thrill of doing something people say "it can't be done", and yet you begin to make inroads to doing it. OP is at 100. I'm at 50. Its a rush.

hitting a milestone is significant. mine was to just have some readers. now I guess having 100 would be my next one too. you can't put a price on the feeling, and normies never understand. to a normie, anything you can't spend has no value. But to us, these things are priceless. no amount of...

I know RI is likely "reverend Insanity". MLA is always "Max Level Archmage".

oops. I was in a DIalogue style thread. My boss picking me up for work was beeping as I finished that post. My bad, may pygmies eat my flesh.

Reading it is no problem. I was raised on paperbacks. What drives me c-r-a-z-y is the autistic nitpicking about all the rules writing it like that.. My way, I can just WRITE and its fine. If not fine, then it seems to be good enough. I have no complaints on my dialogue style. I have some...

c37. Looks like you;re doing same/similar that I do. Just in-line instead of separated into paragraphs. We no longe have to worry abut wasted papers as a resource. digital paper is free. So I go with a blank line between every paragraph, every dialogue. Too easy, too clear. Easy to read. Same...

I like the "watercolor" aesthetic. reminds me of 1960's 1970's covers. A bygone era. I think the font might get funny when viewed small. we have pretty small cover art images here, as compared to other places. I read "Abaddon" as "Abandon", and that's at this full size. Thumbnail, it will get...

someone helping me called mine "action identifiers" or something. I handle dialogue different from most. example: ------------------------ "Yes." "Just a suggestion. Where I come from, when we're very young. A parent, another responsible adult. They will sometimes, and I know how this...

that fuzzy little prick.

I like the idea (maybe) of *adversarial* reviews. IE, author A vs author B. Impartial judges decide who is better.

Julia? This is the *second* time, that your themes and ideas have come so close to home that I suspect you of bribing my cat to look on my laptop. LOL

on another site, I heard authors relating that you can't listen to loud critics. especially the 1%. They'll try to "bully" you into writing what they think you should. Led to the trope that "readers are not to be trusted". It pains me to think in adversarial terms to readers, but... many authors...

not always, eldoria. Back somewhere else... we have a toxic dysfuctional atmosphere. We only post writing sampes anonymously through drop-sites. If you link to your actual work, its common for someone to come and .5 or 1-bomb you. Sounds ilke a taste of that is already here, in "glorious...

I've encountered underwater as a dramatic element added to adventure/drama numerous times. "Raise: the Titanic!" - Clive Cussler. "The Deep - Peter Benchley", etc etc. Now then though, Piers Anthony did a *weird* fantasy where people are bicycling cross the Atlantic seafloor to test new tech...

is your drywall guy making a living off you, patching the holes you punch in the drywall. he's got a good gig.
