Welcome to the sixth writing club update!
I hope everyone has had a good November (and part of December (these posts keep taking me longer and longer into the month to post - they’re basically mid-month posts now lol)). These increased indoorsiness is often good for the types of projects we’re embarked on.
So without further ado, here are our dashing Participants for the month!
- @grrgyle - November goal
- @JacobCoffinWrites - November goal
- @okasen - November goal
- @hazeebabee - November goal
Have a great December and new year!
Apologies for replying so late!
I succeeded in starting off of Amazon and found another good distribution method.
But. Romance! I find that it’s more fun and escapist for me to write romance. I grant myself a lot more artistic liberty with it for some reason, whereas in sci fi I get caught up in details. There’s also a very strict structure to a true romance novel which I’m not an expert on, but basically readers expect a 3 act structure and happily ever after ending. I find the structure freeing kinda?
Re: correspondence style, I find this to be such a cool compliment. I consider my email skills to be really good honestly, ha. Though I need to write more letters to folks. I enjoy it and always mean to do it more.
And thank you!
That totally makes sense. I find I can write sci-fi defensively, like I’m imagining readers’ complaints and writing in little world building details as parries.
But then I remind myself that my favourite sci-fi tends towards fantasy, or lo-fi, or focuses more on interactions between beings, so maybe I shouldn’t bother with an imaginary audience that I can’t relate with.
Idk. Thoughts, lol.
Glad to hear you’ve found a nonazon distribution solution! I hope it works out well.
