One of my current novels has hit 14,549 words at only five chapters in. It's been a long time since I've written anything that has gone on for an extended period of time or that I have actually been proud of. This story is close to my heart and one day maybe, just maybe, something will come of it.

Congratulations! Keep at it! ❤️
if it has your heart it will flower, either directly or through the seeds.

Keep this going. I still remember something about your cheetah anthro--is that still out there? It's not too many things that long ago that I remember. (Sorry I let my then-future-ex turn me off of it.)
I've been working almost religiously on my time-traveling romance novel titled 'Prehistoric Error'. I'm currently at 20k words and 25 chapter. First a 1st draft, I am happy with it.
As of yesterday my revamped poetry book, Diarrhea of the Brain, has gone live. It's available in both paperback ad Kindle version!
Amazon.com, Createspace e-store, and Kindle is where it is for sale.
Nice. Congrats.
Excellent. Everything is going according to plan. (Steeples fingers.) *Wink*
New chapter from my zombie novel has been posted.

Looking into creating a Indiegogo campaign to help launch my children's book.
If anyone would know, it'd be you guys. So, Fellow Writers, how does one do about preparing for a book launch?

My children's book is nearing completion - I'm getting closer to it everyday. My illustrator is amazing and we've only had to do minor fixes to her pictures. (I wish I could share them with you)

But yeah. Book Launch! I need help with preparing myself to make one!
I've found an illustrator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blast. I wanted to use a bugle as an emoticon. What is the world coming to?

How's does this sound? I'm planning on using this for the back cover:

Marbles is a bunny. He thinks he is pretty cool. Being a bunny, Marbles considers himself an expert in his breed and would love to share his knowledge with you.

With illustrations done in a beautiful black and white style, Marbles' story is sure to delight children both young and old. Not only do these illustrations stand out on their own but they offer a unique opportunity for this book to become a lovely, heartfelt keepsake; this children's book has a color-it-yourself option.

You and your child, whether together or alone, can color this book, personalizing it just right for the bunny lover in your life.

~NOTE: I have not found an illustrator yet but I have decided to go with a black and white option.~
FULL COLORED OR BLACK AND WHITE?

I've recently written a children's book and I am in the hunt for an illustrator. So far the quotes I've been giving are pretty pricey but I want to make sure that I'm going in the right direction. I have two styles I am interested in.

For this book, which is about bunnies, I want either a full colored with a water color effect on the pictures. This is going to cost me the most.

Or I want to go with black and white illustrations and let the parent, teacher, or child color the book in themselves to make it just a bit more personal. This one is still high in price but not as expensive and it includes a full colored cover.

But what do you guys think? Should a children's book be colorful or should I allow it to be black and white and let people color it themselves?

Sounds great. Be interesting to hear how it goes - will there be a difference in the success of one versus the other? Have you heard of other color-me storybooks, or is this an innovation, I wonder. Keep us posted!
It's an innovation I think. I haven't heard or seen anything like it before.
awesome! World needs brave souls with new ideas. Forge onward, little hero!
What have you heard about InstantPublisher.com?
So I just wrote a children's book today. Took me about two hours to write it.
I'm on the fence of whether or not I should self publish or go the traditional route. A lot of people are telling me to go with self pub.

Anyway, I'm posting it in my portfolio - I've been getting a ton of sweet reviews from people willing to read it (fellow writers and bunny lovers). I'm just looking into illustrators now. It's hard to find one I like.
So, aside from setting a personal reading goal of 25 books this year (I've already started the third book this year) I am setting a personal writing goal of a chapter a week. Doing this will push me to finish the second draft of my W.I.P novel.
There - I have posted the first four chapters of the second draft of SCARLET WAVE.

I'm very proud of what I have created but I would love some feedback and reviews.
