    A quick question about romance

    Going with a more 'normal sounding' nom de guerre might be a good idea, but my family is hardcore Mormon and I really don't want them to notice that I usually put at least one decent sex scene in my books. That is far too easy to get around. -- Generate a name the same way one does in the...

    Sci-fi?

    Alski said it: -- "Write a good one and I might read it." There are no good sci-fi stories on the 'Hub, so there's no audience. Yet. So, write one. Just remember to follow-- Azimov's Law of Science Fiction: "If you can take the Science out of the Science-Fiction -- you did it Wrong."

    A quick question about romance

    Just lucky I guess! :) ☕ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lucky! No one likes the term vanity-press. Especially those using one. -- The screaming all started because there were quite a few vanity press publishers out there pretending to be actual publishers. People lost a lot of money to them think they were...

    A quick question about romance

    For Writers under 30, Fading to Black rather than writing out the sex scenes is actually pretty normal for that age group. Writing Sex is Hard-- err, difficult. First one needs at least some experience in actually doing you know...sex to even know what to write. (Teen-age fan-fics only prove my...

    A quick question about romance

    First: -- Do you want this story to be ADULT? or -- Do you want this story to be ROMANCE? There IS a difference. In fact, there's a huge difference. Romance and Adult are two completely different Genres. Each focuses on, and details, different things. They also have different Plot patterns...

    Writing Making MAGIC 2 - Writing Magical Battles

    Oh Good! Phew... That takes a load off my mind. I do have books, over 30 of them. They're just under a different name and with the publishing house, or rather ePublishing house. I used to have four publishers: eXtasy Books, Loose-Id LLC, Mojo Castle Books, Kensington Pub. -- Sadly, two of them...

    Writing Making MAGIC 2 - Writing Magical Battles

    ROFLMAO! -- I see nothing wrong with being a bit of a troll, seeing as Yes, everyone else is doing it too. I happen to be a tree-hugging, hippy-type, dance-naked-in-the moonlight-no-matter-how-silly-it-looks, Wiccan. In case my previous post didn't give that away. I adore the way you think. --...

    Writing Making MAGIC 2 - Writing Magical Battles

    Okay, now you're just bragging. *snort* -- I only have a few years in the military, but I am a huge fan of history myself. Though, not so much military history. This is probably why writing large battles are so much work for me. Agreed!!! I definitely agree. There hasn't an invention created...

    Writing Making MAGIC 2 - Writing Magical Battles

    I agree. There is a huge difference. -- Battles with Magic tend to be written like grudge matches with fireworks tossed in for flavor. Very close 3rd person POV, lots of minute observations of the opponent's subtle body language, plus a ton of stream-of-conscious, internal narration featuring...

    Writing Making MAGIC 2 - Writing Magical Battles

    Hmm... I'll have to look in on that, but I was pretty sure D&D was the one who changed the orcs from 'dark skin tones' to green because of certain laws being passed on racial sensitivity in California where Wizards of the Coast based their company. I could be wrong though.
