I haven't yet, mostly because I have yet to finish part 1 of 4 and it's been 6 years

2021-01-23 21:24:04 UTC  

Definitely plan to, though

2021-01-23 21:25:26 UTC  

I wrote decades ago, got published in a few sci-fi mags and an anthology, then mostly wrote for a local newspaper for a while. Still getting back into the groove after life tossed me a few curve balls.

2021-01-23 21:26:48 UTC  

I do know so I might as well say lol

2021-01-23 21:28:32 UTC  

Is it possible to make some money doing it on the side

2021-01-23 21:29:02 UTC  

So the reason she has the burn scars might be obvious with the fact her household was burn to the ground, this was because she use to live in the elvish kingdom before it formed into the Alaia empire. The reason it was burned down was because the Axigridian republic (Note it's an empire now) was expanding and burned her household to the ground. But it was also because the Colonel she met. He told the republic was about them forming a militia (which is a lie) that was going to repulse them at a battle (She finds out later)

like, even if the published book doesn't go apeshit like Harry potter

2021-01-23 21:29:29 UTC  

I did. Not a lot, but some.

2021-01-23 21:33:27 UTC  

Dang. Well. That would do it. So the Colonel was from the Axigridian republic/empire and lied to Kaylin about it?

2021-01-23 21:33:58 UTC  

What are the names of books youโ€™ve published?

2021-01-23 21:34:03 UTC  

This'll give you a general idea of current market. Also a good publisher. https://www.baen.com/submit

2021-01-23 21:34:36 UTC  

I write short stories. I've never written any book-length stuff, until recently.

2021-01-23 21:36:22 UTC  

Oh I see

2021-01-23 21:36:24 UTC  

No, the Colonel was from from before the Alaia was an empire. He is trying to get her to marry behind the scene

2021-01-23 21:37:25 UTC  

Ohhhhh I misunderstood what you were saying, I thought you said the Colonel was part of the reason her house burned down, my bad

2021-01-23 21:39:09 UTC  

Thatโ€™s still pretty awesome, though!

2021-01-23 21:39:49 UTC  

Thanks. I'm hoping to get the novels I have half-done finished this year.

2021-01-23 21:40:29 UTC  

I had to put everything on hiatus for two years, because I moved for the first time in decades.

2021-01-23 21:44:44 UTC  

I hope all goes well!

2021-01-23 21:45:40 UTC  

The move has, but now I need to get back into actually doing things that aren't part of that.

2021-01-23 21:47:06 UTC  

Moving really takes a lot out of you

2021-01-23 21:47:59 UTC  

For me writing it down is hard because sometimes what is in my head is difficult to put into words.

2021-01-23 21:48:37 UTC  

I mean I have written stuff a long time ago.

2021-01-23 21:49:03 UTC  

I am a storyteller verbally. Not so much literally speaking.

2021-01-23 21:49:51 UTC  

Words are my only useful talent. I'm only a writer because I lack the skills and talent to share what I create in any other way.

2021-01-23 21:49:55 UTC  

When I worked in a group home the kids all liked when I told them stories that I created.

2021-01-23 21:50:32 UTC  

When I would be driving them somewhere they would ask me questions about the characters.

2021-01-23 21:56:19 UTC  

Naw tit's fine lol

2021-01-23 21:56:34 UTC  

Here's the challenge I'm looking fir

2021-01-23 21:56:41 UTC  

Food is calling. Have fun, folks.

2021-01-23 21:56:42 UTC  

In three words, how would you describe my story

2021-01-23 22:03:21 UTC  

War, characters, magic

not sure if that's what you're looking for but I'm really bad at summing things up in three words

2021-01-23 22:03:39 UTC  

That's so cute!

2021-01-23 22:05:48 UTC  

It was mostly boys because i made a superhero universe.

2021-01-23 22:05:56 UTC  

And they liked that kind of thing

2021-01-23 22:06:27 UTC  

I have a lot of younger brothers so I totally understand

2021-01-23 22:07:36 UTC  

I read this short story I wrote that was basically the Little Mermaid but instead of mermaids it was deadly basilisks and one of my little brothers was really into it until it got to the romance parts and then he walked out of the room just to annoy me, lol

2021-01-23 22:09:27 UTC  

LOL

2021-01-23 22:09:30 UTC  

Boys

2021-01-23 22:09:54 UTC  

I was living on a reservation and the kids there didn't really get that much entertainment.

2021-01-23 22:13:45 UTC  

I bet they really appreciated your stories
