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

Oh I see

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

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

That’s still pretty awesome, though!

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

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

I hope all goes well!

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

Moving really takes a lot out of you

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

I mean I have written stuff a long time ago.

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

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.

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

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

Naw tit's fine lol

Here's the challenge I'm looking fir

Food is calling. Have fun, folks.

In three words, how would you describe my story

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

That's so cute!

It was mostly boys because i made a superhero universe.

And they liked that kind of thing

I have a lot of younger brothers so I totally understand

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

LOL

Boys

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

I bet they really appreciated your stories

Yeah.

I appreciated the audience

Until I was told I was not allowed to tell my stories by the guy who ran the place.

Honestly war is the best way to describe my story lol

Because the kids liked mine more than his

That’s awful, I’m sorry :/

He was jealous of a lot of people.

He was one of those bosses everything had to go his way and there was no room for adapting

is that way ebtter than shitty amazon?

Baen publishes actual books, and has been around for decades. If you go to an actual bookstore and check the fantasy and sci-fi sections, chances are half were published by Baen. Also, they pay you, not the other way around. LOL

Wait....
