| spanky1 09/25/20 5:28:01 PM #495 | Well the timing is pretty good, as I just now literally hit the publish button on my second novel, the sequel to my first one from earlier this year. It's in the 72 hour review and publish phase on Amazon. Now to get started on my third book, which will be a standalone prequel. And I might as well @Romes187 What's the status on your book?

| spanky1 09/16/20 9:19:32 PM #485 | While working my desk job, often I'll listen to podcasts. I've been catching up on Writing Excuses, which is a great podcast about writing, with Brandon Sanderson and a few other writers. I'mma post this episode I recently listened to from 2014, because I think it's important: https://writingexcuses.com/2014/12/21/writing-excuses-9-53-writing-for-fun/ You gotta write for yourself! Do it because it's fun, because it's what you want to do. --- |

That all sounds neat as long as you have some interesting characters and plot that uses it! Character is number one when writing a book, imo. --- |

I don't think anyone's gotten that far in this topic, lol. This topic is full of rejection letters, self publishing, and procrastination, all in equal measure. :P --- |

I feel you could cut out at least 40 episodes that are just not good or pointless. I'm in the middle of season 5 and at this point I kinda want a list of main story important episodes. --- |

| spanky1 08/11/20 6:38:26 PM #461 | HotLap posted... Thinking about trying NaNoWriMo this year. Any tips on how to outline the story so when November rolls around I can just put words to screen? The way I outline is just make a paragraph for every chapter or chunk of chapters. Just outline the whole book that way, and you can kinda gauge how many words each paragraph will end up being, that way you can plan your way to the word count. --- |

He's OP when he joins until like the Sunken Ship then he slowly starts turning to shit Yeah this is what I'm looking for. Because like, to the people saying "always", for booster's tower he literally is better in every stat than geno. It's at a certain point that geno overtakes him. --- |

They've really pared them down now that big bar meetups are out of the picture, but they do still meet in groups and on beaches and stuff. There's a big one going on this weekend, actually. They're all conservatives who don't believe Covid-19 is a danger. This is my dating pool. --- |

What's the story behind them? Does the main bad guy just sprinkle magic dust on them that makes them come alive and then you have to fight them? Is it honestly, seriously as depressingly dull as I imagine it to be? Please tell me I'm wrong. --- |

After about seven or eight consecutive and annoying view points from the same person I would usually say something resulting in a hostile argument with either my friend, or someone on their friends list. Yeah, it's gotten a LOT worse since the pandemic. People I respected and admired posting things about how Tuberculosis kills more so why aren't we focused on that. It's just depressing. --- |

| spanky1 07/15/20 6:30:11 PM #428 | Eh, you shouldn't even market if you only have one book anyway. I just did it mostly for the experience of holding my own book in my hands. Once you get a larger library of books in your back catalogue, then you can worry about marketing, as it becomes profitable then because people will ideally read through your whole catalogue. I do understand though, it can be a hassle to go through the whole thing. Gotta find a cover for the book, gotta format and do the keywords and blurb and stuff. --- |
