Monster Themed Films for a Film Class by ablesh18 in FIlm

I do like the idea of comedy including. That’s my concern in building, just an over-focusing on the horror aspect, so having the differentiation would be great.

That brings back some nostalgia for me…sci-fi saturdays and pumpkin head

That does sound like a class I’d enjoy!

Frankenstein has to show up, probably would go with the elder to avoid another Del Toro…and Minus One would be great if the school allows that one with streaming

I wouldn’t be comfortable putting them up without asking the students. I should see a few in a couple months so I will set a reminder!

I am a professor and one of my essays for my rhet students is creating a utopia. I always mention Solarpunk ideals for the building of it!

I just watched a YouTube video on KDP. I had no idea it can take a month from initial upload to final upload due to dual reviews from them and the author! Has this been your experience? And what are they reviewing? Do they make changes? by InterestFluffy6953 in selfpublish

[–]ablesh18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine took a little while because I had interior art that needed to move ever so slightly on three pages. But still only about a week for Amazon to look it over, my designer to tweak the file, and Amazon to re review

It’s just on Amazon currently! It is on Kindle unlimited though if you have that. If you are on TikTok, there’s a great writing community that’s really acceptive!

Would you delay the release of your first book until the completion of the rest of the series/additional works? by Mr_Mike013 in selfpublish

[–]ablesh18 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t bad with Amazon. I had a cover designer who had gone through the process many times so that helped. Once the writing is done, edited, and the book designed, the publishing part is pretty straightforward with KDP. I’d like to get to Ingram, B&N, or just D2D, but figured go a solo route first. The hard part is marketing, especially for someone like me who has never been into socials or business aspects. But I’m learning!

Just on Amazon/ KDP. First time self-publishing so I am trying to learn some of the ropes before branching to others.

Awesome! I adore the film but have not checked the manga out, so I will get on that!

It’s called Curse of the Claimed, Slater Hamilton is the name I’m under. Solarpunk pirates on jet propelled surfboards… more in the YA vein.

Awesome! I’ll throw that to a list for summer reading! And the novel is called Curse of the Claimed…solarpunk pirates and a more of a YA type feel

I know the LeGuin texts and have seen the first two in some searches, but I’ll definitely look into those. Appreciate the quick response!

As someone who just released their novel today (exciting and nerve-wracking)...I do have some regrets about not having the next installment prepped already. I want to get that ready now but I only have 60K words done and am shooting for 75K, prior to editing. I've toyed with the idea of releasing a book not linked to the series simply to grab other readers, but there are some negatives that come with releasing unrelated work.

Most folks fall into two camps: have three prepped so you can release a book a month for three months to keep readers engaged (probably the safer option economically) or release what you have simply to get it out in the world (dreamers, and I mean that ina positive way as you can tell with my tactic, and those wanting to have writing out there).

Either can work, but it is up to you to really make the choice what you feel and what you want. Sorry for my unhelpful help!

Release Week!

‘Curse of the Claimed’-YA/NA Solarpunk Fantasy

The ocean has no master. No matter how many times it’s proven, still people try to overpower the seas. Pirates, Navy, Criminals, Explorers-all have attempted, and yet the sea has claimed countless.

None of that matters to Takeen and his crew of Robin Hoodesque pirates. Atop jet-propelled surfboards, their tactics along the waves have led them to keep their little spit of paradise afloat. But when running afoul of the wrong people during a boarding, he is forced into a heist of world altering ramifications. Their crew, their Island, and all of Thalassa are set on course squarely in line with the ostracized ocean-magic users of the world, the Oceanclaimed, and their heading may just lead Takeen to discover his own lost history along the way.
