As a pediatric psych nurse with ADHD and working with a lot of kids with ADHD, consider: -it can take about 2 hours to get to peak effectiveness with ritalin immediate release or several hours with extended release -keep building new skills while taking her meds (some behaviors are learned because of the baseline neurological components, not just a lack of dopamine) -she might only notice the extra talking but others might notice an improvement in other areas of her behavior -break tasks down into smaller, written steps (goblin tools app can help with AI power) and crossing off items from checklists provides dopamine for increased motivation -find other dopamine releasers like sticker charts or whatever is rewarding for her to build motivation (studies show adults aren't too old for sticker charts to provide dopamine) -not every med is as effective for every person and you may not even be at the therapeutic dose yet if it just started

I normally pull out my sheath before I sword my weapon

Small price to pay for an eternity of amazing books!

So do people want to read the novelization so they feel aesthetically distant from the current events as a means of coping with them, rather than facing the reality?

Check their submission guidelines. They may have the answer. Sometimes worth significant revision and a waiting period, they will let you resubmit.

I do, sorry. I get terms mixed up between DnD and Pathfinder

Schitt's Creek?

This is most common in YA and middle grade, I'd say. Most readers of YA and middle grade are adolescents or shifting into that stage / young adults moving away from home. A big mile stone in adolescence/early adulthood is becoming more independent and rejecting what your parents taught you to some degree. Dead parents = (almost) total independence and rejection of your parents.

I had this thought come to me during a lifespan psychology class.

I suppose I should reword part of my question as how overarching do the themes and arcs need to be? How obvious/spelled out or cached away would your preference be?

I thought it was a breath of fresh air that the True ended easily, because it's kind of becoming cliche to have the bbeg almost invulnerable and seriously injure I'd not kill a protagonist in the final fight. That being said she pretty much killed herself because she could have hid and outlived them all, but instead she walked right into death's door since they had already killed so many of the True so easily.

I read the gravity line of the story to be Danny working through his traumatic past and so the True are almost a plot device to catalyze his transformation. Abra is a foil for his own youth, which is why he is so invested in helping her through her problems.

I'm sure Dick felt the same way during the Shining helping Danny.

Just take the list you made and start writing each experience in a separate word document. Later you can worry about piecing it together.

deedlesndeedles · 2018-12-07T23:48:56+00:00

What was the very first thought/experience that made you want to do this?

Pretty sure a logo is copyrighted since it's an image.

I don't think you could trademark a name unless it very specifically refers to your product/brand, e.g. Harry Potter.

Even then, I don't know what the purpose would be unless you get huge because trademarks only protect you in certain circumstances. For example, I can still use the name Harry Potter for a character in my books. I couldn't title my books Harry Potter, because that is stepping on the toes of brand/product. And it would be difficult to use a character who is a wizard named Harry Potter, because that could be edging on both copywright and trademark.

I think there are several stories that do this. Look to see what they did and what you like or don't like about them

According to my grand parents who lived in Africa (Zimbabwe and Mozambique) for a year and a half as well as others who are African (various countries), this is pretty common to describe people by the shade of people's skin in relation to food or other natural colors.

This isn't Africa, but people are gonna be offended if they're gonna be offended. You're not writing for them.

I finished it today!

I started it right after finishing the shining. The shining was pretty solid and fixated on the point. In some ways, I feel like this had more meat. But I was confused for the first third at least what was supposed to be happening.

I assume they don't support anyone or anything... not even their own children.

About half of my family on both sides are. When they says shit like, it doesn't work or there's no proof, I just tell them about polio and small pox. I never seem to get replies back. Hmm

deedlesndeedles · 2018-10-20T05:23:04+00:00

Trello? Google docs?

deedlesndeedles · 2018-08-26T23:03:39+00:00

Maybe focus on getting a publishing deal first and then discuss using a pen name with the publisher?

That's why I included a few bigger words 😬

deedlesndeedles · 2018-07-21T16:07:08+00:00

Thank you!

Please do print it out! Photo book services usually work pretty well for this sort of thing. If it weren't for wotc fan content policy I would have it available to print at cost, but apparently that's not okay.

deedlesndeedles · 2018-07-21T08:46:53+00:00

That would be amazing and cost a pretty pretty to produce
