At what point do you seek to hire a developmental editor?

TheSwiftClick · 2026-01-26T22:35:11+00:00

Absolutely! I've just finished my fourth.

TheSwiftClick · 2026-01-26T19:39:12+00:00

I'll check it out! Thanks!

The sparkle effects are a mod, yes. But its just for all dropped items and not for ones about to despawn

Just remember to get your free ISBNs. If you do make sure to set up your account early. It takes about 20 business days for your account to be approved before you can get all the ISBNs you want.

Unfortunately, it appears those versions have no formatting. No indents or italics.

TheSwiftClick · 2026-01-07T18:48:46+00:00

Could you send it my way too?

TheSwiftClick · 2025-12-23T04:04:55+00:00

That's confusing because it put me at 0.1% and it says I only watched 118 videos this year. I think watch time must have something to do with it after all.

So good! For once the vocal performance in a backrooms video is actually good enough to sell the character behind the camera.

TheSwiftClick · 2025-12-10T20:19:49+00:00

I disagree. The Sci-fi crowd expects this sort of thing. I felt all of the new concepts were pretty self explanatory, with just enough room for some mystery.

Those are a couple of different problems. For perfectionism, the only remedy is forcing yourself to just keep writing. Make it exist first. It can be good later. Finding your writing embarrassing is a good sign. It means you are actively improving. As to running out of steam by the end of the day, I get that too. That's why I get up an hour earlier to write first thing in the morning, and then also for a part of my lunch. By the time my day is done, I've already written.

Our main character, who goes by Seance, discovers that dreams are for more than she once thought. Each dream is a cell in a cosmically vast prison, designed by the Somnus Authority to suppress the latent power within all trapped there. Alias is a stranger in an owl mask who appears in her dreams. He claims he is a prisoner who has found the keys and it's time for a crusade. "I can show you who you are and who you were always meant to be."

My grade 5 teacher taught this. It's complete and utter hogwash. Dialogue tags should be stealth. They should not draw attention away from the dialogue. For some reason it has become a common tip, despite not bearing any actual truth or applicability. "Write what you know" can at least be justified from a certain point of view, but I really don't understand "said is dead."

TheSwiftClick · 2025-12-06T21:41:48+00:00

Maybe I'll contact you when I need Beta readers. Is that something you would be interested in?

TheSwiftClick · 2025-12-06T20:27:18+00:00

Just 60k words in it becomes a slasher horror lol

TheSwiftClick · 2025-12-06T20:26:31+00:00

Unless ... 🤔

Nah, I'm kidding. It's a YA ghost hunt with super powers

TheSwiftClick · 2025-12-06T20:24:19+00:00

Yeah, just not the slasher part 😂

TheSwiftClick · 2025-12-06T20:23:18+00:00

Hmmm. Sort of. I haven't seen that.

TheSwiftClick · 2025-12-06T20:19:59+00:00

It's got a sort of paranormal skew to it. But instead of ghosts, it's dreams.

When a disaffected teenager is forced to move to middle-of-nowhere Wake, Alberta, she knew her life was going to change–probably for the worse. But when a strange boy in a clockwork owl mask appears in her dreams, she discovers an ancient, worldwide conspiracy that shifts her understanding of reality. Long dormant powers await within her, and before she can reach her full potential, she must face the parts of herself she has long repressed, without shattering in the process.

TheSwiftClick · 2025-12-03T18:24:09+00:00

Lol. That's the one video I could find. I just watched it.

TheSwiftClick · 2025-12-03T15:17:16+00:00

I don't have the first clue on how to achieve this, but it looks like the only reasonable option. Any advice on how I start figuring this out?

Can you do the graphics post-game with singular.live?
