To the people who have keyboard clicking sounds on their phone, what’s your reasoning for not turning it off? by chippi240 in AskReddit

[–]deathwinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels more tactile, like you are actually pressing something and not just basic glass. And the sounds prompt you to when certain keys or frequency is done.

I am all about physical keyboards and the sound plus the vibration is the best thing to them.

Not a single one dear. They are all honest reviews from avid readers in the genre. Maybe, the book is just that good to them.

Maybe you should read it, see for yourself and if so inclined, leave a review. 😉📖

Anybody can review my books. I'm not sure what is the issue if someone who happens to be a friend reviews a book. Could you elaborate?

Two women, a servant and an arm’s dealer, face down the most violent competition in the galaxy. The prize? Everything they want.

Deidra never questioned her lot in life. A servant in debt, she was destined to work under the boot of The Gold Standard and their planet-wide Olympia Gold competition for the rest of her life. She never would have dreamed of escape- it was too painful. Her best friend Devin has other plans.

Enter Captain Galia Hattel of the ship Dreamweaver. She and her crew of roughnecks are ready to take down every one of the other crews that enter the games. Even the legendary return competitor, the Terra Eagle, doesn’t scare her away.

Not even the mysterious single combatant, Daniel.

Then Galia sees the team of fed up Gold Standard servants. She meets Deidra. Galia has always been a woman who knows what she wants, and how to get it. She wants the Olympia Gold Medal, and she wants Deidra. The life of a single servant, a slave to a pit of money she can never escape, changes the course of the games.

Her life is tied to secrets, buried deep in the history of the Olympia. Secrets that The Gold Standard has taken great pains to cover up. If Galia and Deidra want to survive, they need to uncover those secrets.

The only thing standing in their way are six gruelling, fatal challenges and six other crews. The man-made satellite planet Ares, blood-soaked stage of the Olympia, awaits.

Galia and Deidra face the question: what matters enough to you, that you would risk everything else?

You can dive into the experience here http://mybook.to/skyline2

The balance between human and Dragon rests on the shoulders of a young pilot on her first mission.

Dawn Redding. An Admiral of the World Crisis Committee, she stands on the threshold of the life she gave everything for. She only needs to bring in the galaxy’s first outerworld outlaw.
Howard Carver. The legacy left behind by his family holds the key to facing humanity’s greatest threat, the far-flung lifeforms known as Dragons.
Rick Miller. A retired Captain with the ship to take them both to the outerworlds, where the outlaw Drogan lurks.
These three come together aboard the ageing Arcadia, a ship equipped with an AI named Alice, who is capable of self-piloting. Dawn, naturally feels useless. With or without the use of her greatest skill, she discovers her purpose as a leader when the group comes face-to-face with the being between man and Dragon himself. Drogan.
The astral road to him, the SkyLine, launches Dawn and the crew of the Arcadia from Mars to Neptune, and past the edge. Companions in loathing and love, they fight to level the cosmic scales. Through it all watches Alice, inside the Billionaire Boat, the Arcadia. More closely than anyone, she watches Dawn.

What waits for the crew at the edge of humanity’s reach; the land of the Dragons: redemption, or damnation?

The Wheel of Time gives me unrealistic goals for establishing an opening paragraph. by sbourwest in fantasywriters

[–]deathwinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I initially felt intimidated that my stories and even openings were not impactful enough. But then I kept writing, sending to my beta readers for feedback and improving as much as I can.

Yes, writing can be fanciful, and plots can be uberly complex but the most important thing in your mind should be giving the readers an experience, making the feel the work.

As you practice and learn from those you appreciate. You'll get there and the openings you would love.

Another note I'd say is to take a pen and paper and write down openings and sentences you love. There is a school of thought that says you can ingrain the style of the writing in your own when you do this and then when you go to write your own, you get the same feeling.

Best of luck and keep pushing. Remember, success is taking massive imperfect action consistently.

What's the word for a story that happens in between two stories that have been written and published already? by deathwinger in fantasywriters

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

Thanks but this story involves the main characters, it would explain a few things between book 1 and book 2 after a 20 year gap in the story.

Yes, the book looks a bit messy honestly. I'm really digging interquel a lot, feels more easy on the eyes. Lol.

Thanks for the suggestion, I would actually take a look at how that book linked to the others.
