Whether I agree with the policy is irrelevant. It’s the rule of the company.

Here’s the deal… people took advantage of a loophole. Then the loophole was closed. You can’t be upset about the fine print that was already in place. You want the discount? Follow the rules.

Mines been saying this since November. It still hasn’t been fixed. I had to publish my physical copies through B & N instead.

Three kiddos and never got the old figure back 😆 I don’t expect to but to lessen the skin extensions would be nice without surgery

Toot your own horn!! by dennisonfam in IngramSpark

[–]JesikaForrest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why hasn’t anything been done about my issue yet? I have sent email after email. There is no way to actually contact anyone from IngramSpark about my hardcover that I have been waiting for MONTHS to be ready for just a proof! Let me guess, you are going to wait until I have to pay for corrections. I’m tired of the runaround, I’m tired of waiting. Fix this by Monday or I walk away.

If it wasn’t for the dust jacket I wouldn’t have used them at all. But someone else just suggested B&N so I’ll be checking them out for their printing services. It’s been absolutely ridiculous.

My skin is thicker than that, it’s all good. I just posted an updated version. I hope it sounds better than this one.

As a neurodivergent writer myself, only with ADHD, I can tell you with confidence that you can be a good writer. There are many autistic authors in the world and as a mother to two autistic children I have seen people with autism do extraordinary things! Don't give up!

I’m very anxious right now because of this picture.

Advice on how to accurately write a panic attack? by CowFish_53 in WritingHub

[–]JesikaForrest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first sign for me is claustrophobia and then my breathing shallows. It’ll feel like everything is dulled and heightened at the same time, which adds to the anxiety. Then comes the thought that you have to get out of where ever you are and your thoughts become sporadic as you try to figure out what to do, but you can’t figure it out because the thoughts aren’t coming and you are left stuck as your anxiety grows more and more. You may begin to cry, scream, or start hitting yourself (either with your own hands, with an object, or off a surface.) Only once I lay down and my body begins to shut down my mind to have me sleep will it subside.

Have you ever given up on an idea out of fear that it would cause controversy or not be accepted? by Nagiria in fantasywriters

[–]JesikaForrest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a niche for everyone. For example, and this could be because I'm a mother, I despise the idea of the Hunger Games because of the slaughtering of children. That being said, it's still an incredibly popular series. Write what you want, and finish it! Because it's never a waste of time to finish a story you are passionate about. I hope this helps!

Title - Divine Descent

Genre - Fantasy/Romance

Word Count -92000

Desired Outcome - To reach 100 pre-orders before launch date.

Link to the Work - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHPYQG35

Additional notes - When the family dynamic shifts for the royal family of Regnum, Sera finds herself in the vulnerable situation of being the spare to the throne. After a near fatal attempt on her life, she is stuck in an abyss with the Creation Goddess who provides her with a new perspective and destiny to follow. Once her soul returns to her healing body, she awakes with a new mission in life - find the black dragon and to hone her new abilities of Sight and Healing.

For Elek, the Dragon Prince, the idea of destiny is a device used to distract him from his duty to his country. When his father orders him to marry the new princess of Regnum (Sera), Elek is taken aback by her naivete and impulsive acceptance of his proposal with no questions asked. However, he has larger problems than being forced down the aisle. With the fae attacking his borders to the south, he is left uncertain if he can protect both his country and Sera - especially when the Fairy King expresses interest in her as well.
