RE: A Day in the Clouds (Chapter 3) - The Hours Between 0700 and 0800
Thank you for the enthusiastic reaction and the continued support, my friend! I was on the fence about making weekly updates, but I decided that I didn't want to run out of ammo. If I published thrice weekly, then I would have nothing else to post for several months! Haha! The decision is really biting me in the ass, but I have to live with the consequences. I wish there was a "READ" flag for posts that we've read so that we won't miss out on anything. I mean, since read counts are already being tracked, might as well, right?
I really tried to go back to my childhood for this one, and I'm glad about the response it's getting :D Whenever I see some kids not wanting to take a bath, I ask myself what reasons could they possibly have? Children really do make a big fuss about a lot of stuff that us adults find mundane, which is an infinite source of entertainment haha!
You did an excellent job of capturing that, I feel almost as if it's a faint memory of my own!
I understand why you're posting as you are, I just extremely look forward to the day I can read it all at once :)
I think the feature that would be most helpful by far is if we could have a favorites at the top where home and new is, I would have a much smaller list than my following list, and be able to see everything posted by those select few each day!
When the story is over, I'll compile it and send you binge-friendly version to read :D It's the least I can do for one of my most avid supporters!
That would be awesome! I will definitely do the same for you, looks like email exchange is in our future ;) With Today Again I will be spending time on re-writing and revising when I'm finished putting it through here. Reborn however, I will likely put through one final edit and then I'm going to self-publish and get it on Amazon. I have another book that's stand alone which i will be experimenting with the self-publishing process using a site called blurb. I plan on posting a step by step and letting everyone know how well it works. If it's a good place then Reborn will most likely go the same track. You are the reason I decided to start posting it here, yesterday I put up an introduction and included the prologue again, today the first chapter went up. I have to say I'm feeling pretty excited about it, and I have to thank you sooo much for giving me the push I needed with your enthusiasm and the great idea you had about the potential of posting both versions. Though likely what I'll do is when I'm finished putting through this version, I'll just put the novella through and then the first couple chapters of the other version since that's mainly the difference. The second book Renewal is finished too, so as long as everything goes well with Reborn, I will put that through here too :) And I am a ways into book three, though the rewriting etc. will take a while.
Oh, that sounds great! Blurb didn't exist when I published my debut novel back in 2014. I did the whole process from the ground up, which was strangely satisfying. From the writing, to the editing, to the marketing. It was such a great learning experience that every author should try at least once. It's on a lot of publishing sites, so I'll be trimming the list for the re-release. Amazon is the only that's safe from the chopping block haha
That's really exciting! Yeah, Amazon definitely gets top priority :)
