What do you use to make your covers...I want to make one for Caravan, a prototype of some sort just to give me some inspiration to finish that book! (sorry I haven't really been on here or SC got the new update before everyone, I have an Android device, so haven't been able to post anything on there and I've been pretty busy)

I make my cover and publish my books on an awesome website that puts them on Amazon. It is called Createspace.com.

Hi! I had a question about create space ... how does it work for them getting payed for publishing? Like do they get a percent of your earnings our do you have to pay them upfront? I'm considering publishing, but I don't want anything expensive. Thanks, Jessica.

Ok so the account is free to make. I published my entire Isabelle book for free. The only time I pay is when I buy books for myself to sell personally. It costs me about $3 per book and I sell them for $10 so I'm making quite a bit of profit.

Ok thanks! Just by chance do you have a chatting app called kik? My phone isn't set up for texting so I use that.
Jessica
6/1/2015 08:55:08 am
Because I'd totally love to talk to you about a few writing related things ... if you're OK with that ;) because if you do have (or get) kik (it's free) my user name is jedigal44 =)
Carrington

I do not have kik and I am not allowed to get it but I would love to help you out! We talk on here...I don't care.
Jessica
6/1/2015 12:10:51 pm
Ok no prob about kik ... anyway I'm Jess (obviously ;) right now I'm writing multiple stories, one of them is in the medieval time but in a kingdom called laynia. I LOVE horses, too =) Do you have any tips on how to get stories novel length? I set out to write long ones, but I usualy get "bored" in the middle and I move really slow from then on. Any suggestions?
Carrington
6/1/2015 12:24:53 pm
Wow! Sounds like we have the same issues! I would dearly love to write a 50,000 word novel. I believe that is considered the novel length. The closest I am to that right now is on my sci-fi book and it currently has 32,000 words. The key is not to write yourself into a corner. Keep it interesting. When you are interested and eager to tell what happens, it's easy to keep the story going.
Jessica
6/1/2015 05:25:32 pm
Yeah, my longest finished book is like 5,500, but I'm working in ones that will be longer and remaking the 5,500 word one. It's called sunset valley, and I started it when I was eleven or twelve ... fun book but the writing isn't the greatest. Just by chance where do you live (approximately) I'm in north idaho and I'm fourteen.
Jessica
6/1/2015 05:32:34 pm
Btw congrats on your longer story! In guessing it's the hunterlands? =)
Carrington
6/1/2015 09:36:51 pm
Umm...I'm not allowed to answer that. Sorry! And yes, it is the Hunterland. Thanks ;)
Jessica
6/2/2015 02:51:55 am
Oh sorry I didnt mean to pry .... I was just curious. But cool on the hunterlands! I'd live to get even that many words XD But maybe I will someday ... =) I'm trying to on my medieval one.

And btw, I love minecraft and survivalcraft, too. ;) My world is horse quiz ... it's on the recently posted and rated 4 1/2 :-)
Carrington
6/4/2015 04:42:22 am
If you don't mind my asking, what is your book about?
Jessica
6/5/2015 08:47:05 am
It's about a 17 (almost) yr old princess who's mother died (she doesn't know how) and her father is going to set her with an arranged marriage, which she doesn't want, and then as she fled the kingdom she finds out that there is an army coming so she and her friend Tristan must rude back and warn the kingdom, then she must make things right with her father after the battle ... if they survive "ooohh" ;) that's my storyline, but I'm only a few chapters into it... unfortunately I'm a slow writer XD How long are your Isabelle books just by chance? I haven't read them but they look great! =)
Jessica

Carrington

The first book is 25,000 words. The second is slightly shorter but I need to do a bit of revising so that may change.
Jessica
6/5/2015 04:58:33 pm
Ok ... wow that's way more then I have! Good job =) I'm thinking I have about 3000 ish on my story so far, but I have it all on paper except a little is typed.
Jessica

YAY! Horse quiz is not to far down in the top ranked! So exciting! =D
Jessica
6/15/2015 06:31:38 am
Just by chance do you have a game called my horse?
Carrington
6/15/2015 06:46:38 am
I don't play that game but I do play other horse games!
Jessica
6/15/2015 08:07:47 am
Okay cool! It's a fun game but it isn't one I play all the time. ones do you play? And btw, I'm a strong Christian, too ... I guess it slipped my mind to mention that. Do you know who AiG is, and if so, are you into that sort of thing (apologetics)? My family definitely is =)
Carrington

I've decided change my storyline and I got a title! Yay! I'm calling it "chasing the dawn a tale of courage"
Carrington
6/26/2015 05:07:13 am
I do like that storyline! I also like the arranged marriage idea too. Maybe you could incorporate that into it as well!
Jessica
6/26/2015 05:43:56 am
Thanks =) I was planning on something with arranged marriage but I didn't want to make it too much like the movie brave ... do it probably won't be as main ;)
Jessica

Well I'm happy to announce that my story is progressing at almost 11,000 words and is not yet halfway done! Thanks for your help in this! :-)

Reply
Carolyn
4/13/2015 12:17:32 pm
I loved it! If you can try to get at least one chapter a day I will work on my stories. ;) what I was planning for emergency was for Martin to finally kick the infection and then for Douglas to mention his daughter which triggers all martin's memories, including the fact that Douglas was the one who hurt him. He's enraged at everyone for lying to him including frank and KK and shine but makes Douglas and frank accompany him on a flight. While flying the plane is attacked and Martin is shot through the window. They crash land into a lake and the cockpit is nearly submerged. Douglas rescues Martin but frank gives him CPR since Douglas' arm is broken. Now they are trapped in the middle of nowhere with a busted radio and injuries, martin's being life threatening. Frank feels like he's reliving when they were captured in Afghanistan.

Hey. So what did you think of my plot ideas? I'm not really sure how they would be rescued but it would be an interesting situation for Frank and Douglas would finally understand what Martin and Frank went through in Afghanistan.

I have some bad news. I'm done with SC. I can't no longer publish things and with the new whitelist I would never get to see Emergency. It's be made so you can no longer have RP worlds. Just cool maps. I was thinking we should make our own MC world. And I totally want to help finish the story since I couldn't make what I wanted to happen in SC.

Wow...I feel like I've been hit by a bomb! Yeah, I read the post and was like WHAT?! Then I got all worried. But...I DID happen to have a backup plan where we can still do our story though it won't be on SC.
Reply
Carrington
4/14/2015 09:45:08 pm
Ok...so my plan is now finished! If you look under the tab "Other Works" you should see a new page called "Emergency." We can continue our story there...maybe it will be faster. I do ask that you use the names from the book though. I know it will be different and I don't like it either but this website is public and receives a fairly decent amount of views so and again, I don't want to plagiarize. Sorry for the trouble. At least we can continue!

Love the chapter!!! And sorry about that. I will remember. Also feel free to delete my comments. It was the only way I could get in touch with you. I love the new page!!! And yeah I'm bummed about SC. Shame on people for ruining a perfectly good game. I will try to get on MC more often now that I've figured out how to do it. If you want, I can start writing some of the later chapters since I already had it played out in my head. It'll give me something to do to help. Also, I kinda liked it when Dylan got bitten by the snake. Made it more intense! But I do understand putting it down on paper is a lot different than in the game. By the way, sorry for fifty thousand emails. My computer said they weren't going through.

Of course we will!!! We can make a series out of it!!! Also. How about I write the chapters and save them. When we get to that part I'll send them to you. You can tweak them as need be and make sure it flows with the story.
Reply
Carrington
4/15/2015 07:57:10 am
Sure! That will work great. If you send them to me through the forum it will go directly to my email. Can't wait to read them! I do have one slight...not issue but question. If you write some of the chapters, it wouldn't be right for just me to have my name on the cover saying that I wrote it. What do you think?
Reply
Carolyn
4/15/2015 11:08:10 am
Hey. I can't wait for the next chapter! So much suspense!! Hey so, my parents really don't want me RPing back and fourth much so I thought maybe we can just skip to the part where Martin finds out it was all a lie that way I can get an idea of how I want the dialogue to flow in the chapters ok?

Don't worry...they won't get hurt (Except for Frank when we crash the plane) I know you all are probably tired of that. I'm sure you will NEVER guess what's going to happen though. I'm just trying to come up with a good excuse.

Ok, Carolyn. So I wanted to clarify something with you. The lake where the plane crashed...I'm envisioning a really wide body of water, very deep in the middle. It is fast moving with a strong current. The bank is made up of rocks/pebbles washed smooth by the water. a few feet away are tall fir and pine trees. The sun is beginning to set. They've got major problems.
Reply
Carolyn
4/16/2015 09:53:55 pm
Yes. But I was also envisioning sorta mountain like structures. Cause there's a shallow cave they will take refuge in. I got the idea from a place in Cardiff, Whales where my family vacation all the time. How's your chapter coming? I know you couldn't do much yesterday.
Reply
Carrington
4/17/2015 01:22:11 am
Oops! I forgot to mention that didn't I! Yes, there are mountains all around, just covered with the trees. I like the cave idea! Perhaps they should be stranded for a bit. Maybe Jaques could pay a visit to Kelsey and Sandra, telling them that the three are dead or something along those lines. Could get interesting!
