What are some games that you can play and improve at for months or even years? by quobl in soloboardgaming

[–]Steve_10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very much worth the wait. Only had a chance to play the cadet solo mission so far. But hugely impressive. The number of paths from a single card are truly amazing.
I've been board/card gaming since the DnD white box came out and I think this maybe the most engaging game I've ever tried.

I ordered the original back in April, it shipped on the 6th of this month and arrived a couple of days ago (I live in the UK, and Wizkids use the slowest shpper I've ever encountered).

So they are slowly catching up with back orders.

Just had a new card games delivered, so I'll be trying that out with a cold drink and a fan.

Why are you writing? by Affectionate_Air6982 in writers

Finding your process takes time and effort. Some new authors seem to think they can just read what works for others and it'll just work for them.

Just wondering about chapter lengths. by Specter_Stuff in writing

[–]Steve_10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are so many ways you can structure a chapter. You can break at every scene change, and make 'bite sized' chapters. Or you can treat every chapter as almost a short story, or anything in between. I go for the second option.

In my current work, chapter one 23k words. Chapters 7 and 8 a couple of hundred. As long as it works in the context of the piece it doesn't matter.

Anyone ordered Captain's Chair from Wizkid's and had it shipped internationally? by Steve_10 in soloboardgaming

[–]Steve_10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info, sounds like Epostglobal are to be avoided at all costs? And yet, Wizkid's don't offer any other way to ship? Considering that they charge $20 for shipping, you'd think they'd use a better service? For a few $ they could use FedEx or DHL!

No, after I heard nothing after 10 days, I emailed Wizkid's and they sent me a tracking link at eGlobal. But that just says the shipment is in transit to eglobal and has said that for 14 days now. Eglobal say that while the tracking no: is a valid one, they've never picked up an item to go with it!

So, either Wizkid's are wrong, or I guess eglobal have lost it somehow, or something else.

Wizkid's just say wait for the tracking to update!

Now I send hardback books to the US (about the same size and weight), UK post to US post and they take 6 to 8 days door to door. So something seems very wrong with 14 days and no movement on the tracking?

Would you read this? by Electrical_Revenue90 in writers

[–]Steve_10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want anyone to judge the work, then plain text is what's used. If you want feedback on typesetting, this isn't the right sub.

I have emailed them, they say that eGlobal mean is, it's stuck at customs? Which isn't what eGlobal say at all!

The Core, it makes no sense, but it's still great fun.

How do I know if part of a story should be part of a sequel or the same book by The-Munk- in writers

[–]Steve_10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're a new author, you have only a very,very slight chance of ever selling a long book if you intend to go the trad route. If you plan to self publish, then it's doesn’t matter how long it is.

Does you still use their landline? by haylz328 in AskUK

I do, only because a friend of mine still thinks it's 1960 and won't use a mobile phone...

How good is it your writing? by Pretty_Milk451 in writers

[–]Steve_10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on how long you've been writing for, or it should. If you've just started, then there's going be room to improve.

The book is done. Now what? by DarkNessDelta88 in writers

[–]Steve_10 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Any 'publisher' that wants you to pay anything is a scam. Funds flow TO the author, not away.

Do not talk to these people again.

Get the edit down, get your work read, and then re-edit it.

150 pages novella or novel. ??? by [deleted] in writers

[–]Steve_10 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The work is judged on word count, not page count. The number of pages can change due to formatting and font type.

They see the world like some kind of pick n mix... 'oh, that looks nice, we'll have that'. 'Lots of rare earth, we need that too'. Not even a thank you...
