Thats sorta how I started with my story. Just looking at how my favorite authors started. hahah Weirdly enough I got absurdly stuck because I got almost the whole story done but hadn’t thought of how to begin. I eventually was like you know what? Gonna start with a prison tale along the lines of one time I was snatched from bed at an ungodly hour and thrown into jail for no discernible reason.

Writer Question has anyone used Ebook Launch?
- Show previous comments 2 more

I haven’t used them, but they look pretty damned good from what I’m reading. The prices for editing are fair, and so are the cover prices. If I were to self-publish, I think I’d give them a shot myself.
-
Okay I decided to give them a shot they look and feel legit.
-
I did notice they don’t have developmental edit services, so you’d have to budget elsewhere for that.

Eyecandy should be unisex in my opinion. Not every man has to be a bodybuilding adonis of course nor every women a perfect voluptuous sex goddess Give him a broad shoulders, or great legs or a big booty or a nice bulge or even those nice full jawlines. Her experiences sound like she got them early/ they were bigger than the other women around her. And she was not treated well because of this sudden puberty driven endowment.

Offering Sorrow is complete and it’ll be awhile before I return to this particular verse.

Ok, I’ve been drowining in shit due to a sick relative. Next week looking more likely. Sorry for the delay! Want to see how it goes.

Looking through some battle pics does confirm the smear on the ground bit.
-
True but I want to be accurate at least. Epic fantasy meets an alternate WW2 decaying timeline.
-
I’m gonna go with a standard shell from a panzer 3. I’m checking specs right now.
-
Right? But the character in question is a regenerative immortal type.
-
So I’m at a loss at the moment. What injuries can I expect pertaining to WW2 german tank rounds?

From JayDee on June 27, 2021 Fallen City – Bit of an action packed part here! The explosion at the start and the use of the meat shield was hella fun. Liked the portrayal of the pissed-off-at-humanity gallows god too. People forget these days that ol’ One-Eye had a temper… With prophecy broken fate is in flux but tends to go the path of least resistance. The journey to catastrophic war is picking up steam. The Jotun will not stand idle not when their only ally that treats them as people rather than monsters is suddenly attacked. The roosters that foretell the final battle might be drowned in the river that never freezes. Inertia however is ramping up. Asgard is definitely on team fuck humanity and Jotun are on Humanity’s side when they hear humanity’s cry for aid the war horns will beckon Apocalypse is on the horizon. SPOILER COMMENTS …did I get that right? Did Glykon just destroy the spear? Now that was a badass tough moment there. Glykon did destroy Gungnir, Its power wrecking the city. The oaths The Allfather forced on others are broken, his symbol of authority ruined. This object showcasing Asgard’s unassailable might ruined. It’s a loss of face, a loss of strength. his greatest act was he stole the antichrist, The Beast Of The Sea right out from under Odin’s nose and for that he needed Zahhak to cause commotion and take everyone’s focus solely on him. And he did it all *without* hands Glykon got some hidden depths! Also kinda funny the way he shows up and does his effortless convincing through the sock puppet like usual! Did she even need to use the human as a meat shield, or was it just a bit of “being an asshole for the sake of it?” The Beast Of The Sea is a unrepentant jerk, She’s also the most powerful of Lucifer’s remaining brood. Since Zahhak and likely other players have been tracking down her siblings. She isn’t afraid of throwing down, not when she can go straight into dark souls boss mode with her warform. She is not a match against a skyfather, head of a godtribe but then her true power lay not in combat (which is considerable She’s a daughter of a confirmed god killer) But in her ability to influence others especially humans. She can bring out the worst in others. It seems like being mortal has limited prospects in this chapter anyway, with the Valkyries going full massacre. No doubt a few regretting they’re not fitting in old Viking activities like the pillage, and the other thing. Humanity just got sucker punched and blows keep on coming.I would not want to live on this particular world right now. The fact that a head of a tribe of gods just openly destroyed a city is all the admission one needs to successfully infer that the Global Pantheon is not on humanity’s side.

Nearly done with the last preview.
But here’s a writer question isn’t it a nice thing to do to put your manuscript through spellchecker/grammarly so your editor doesn’t hate you? You know catch the obvious errors first.

“Sorcerer’s Stone” does run off the tongue a bit better than the Philosopher’s Stone, otherwise, yep, would’ve been better if the Britishisms weren’t removed.
As to my potter fanfic, not sure where the old disclaimer that I was American went to, apologizing in advance for not being perfect to British. However, I do try to insert some British where I can, particularly “todger” and “zebra crossing”.

Only have two HP fanfictions when where harry is trying to survive in a zombie apocalypse a scenario were the wizarding world is almost guaranteed to thrive in since wands don’t run out of bullets
And a dark lord Harry who AK’d peter in the graveyard, a relatively slow corruption story hahah.

I’ve only got one potter fanfic I’m working on, now A/U because it was a “continue the story” type of fic that was popular between book releases, and it’s interesting enough to finish. As it’s technically a sequel to my first “continue the story” fanfic, which itself was “continue the story” based on another (now abandoned) fanfic, I can’t bring the story itself to AFF w/o filing off the serial numbers which I couldn’t bring myself to do. However, it’s plenty fun to write with Harry being framed up to be a “suspected dark wizard” and it pokes fun at the Harry/Ginny shipping.

Never have done water-sports and tentacles might be fun. As for family, that’s why you use your personal accounts and not your public one haha.

From JayDee on June 25, 2021 “Returning light” “Harry thought of good times with his best mates and he was rewarded with a bang” Filthy! Oh OH, right, wrong bang. Carry on. This one seems to be fairly optimistic! Ol Riddle coming across as a bit of a dick in Harry’s recollection which definitely fits in canon. I liked how he got the ol’ Patronus running around and had a nice sense of comfort from the light. There’s a quote, I think Terry Pratchett? “Sometimes it’s better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness.” Anyway, good to get back into Harry’s head here and looking forward to the next part. Even if it is detailed laundry doing. To rise on the back of giants means you don’t have start from scratch. He’s got Dumbledore and others as examples he isn’t alone. Darkness has marked him but at his core Harry shines brighter for it.

Its a badge of honor. Oh you liked them doing carnal fornication?! well then that’s what they’ll do

How does it feel? I’m always torn when I make it to the end of something. I’m thrilled to be done, but never quite ready to let the little story go out into the world all alone…
You guys are making it to the end of things?

6k words let just wow. Home stretch is nearly in sight. I can’t believe it.

One more chapter… one more chapter… words seduce, and you’ll have that million in no time!

Maybe for my HP fanfic
Tarnished Lion =p nearly 30k dragon prints and yet three comments so I assume people enjoy it? I’m pretty sure it’s almost as many words as order of the phoenix
but I swore I’d be a full fledged writer by my birthday

My potter fic (on AO3) stands at 927k – that’s short, right?
Not sure the best way to get people to comment/review, otherwise I’d be minting them myself.

When’s the next one?

Am I wrong or is my grammar checker an idiot?
InvidiaRed replied to Ghost-of-a-Chance's topic in Writers' Corner
my spellchecker constantly flags grey/ gray. If I want to use them interchangeably I will -
I mainly ado full mage build. I should probably do that whole OP sniper archer everyone seems to do. The spells can be a little lack luster buts its hilarious when you can heal yours companions faster than they can get hurt.

12K words left and my wordsmithing is nearing its end
-
Lemme proofread… “12M words left” right?
-
Hahaha.
No, 8k left since I essentially had to rewrite the entire novel almost from the ground up. So find another editor
getting nervous tho. What if everybody hates it? ugh..
How do you fellow writers deal with the nerves?

I feel like there is a whole untapped subgenre of what happens when a zombie apocalypse gets worse.
*Werewolf howls*
or demons escaping hell or vampires going crazy as they try to find the last living humans before they go totally feral.
or even suddenly it goes disaster movie.

@GeorgeGlass Max Brooks*’ short story The Extinction Parade and the comic miniseries adaption pretty much matches that.
*The World War Z guy.
Edit – https://www.amazon.com/Max-Brooks-Extinction-Parade-1/dp/1592912346
“As humans wage their losing fight versus the hoards of the subdead, a frightening realization sets in with the secretive vampire race: our food is dying off. This is the story of the vampire's descent into all-out war with the mindless, hungry hordes of the zombie outbreak as humanity tries to survive them all! “

Chemical burns tend to be worse because acids will continue doing damage until washed off/ neutralized.
