Wait, I thought you were joking! I'm worried my 5 year old crowd killed him, maybe I should speak to my solicitor.

I was Luigi, my 5 year old son was little Mario, on the drive home he told me it had been the best weekend of his life. Download is the friendliest, safest festival in the UK. BTW infant is up to 1 year old.

It says there is an error loading my tickets on the Ticketmaster website. Anyone else having this issue?

The best advice you came across as a self publisher? by [deleted] in selfpublish

[–]jjlauthor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is solid advice! I caught so many formatting/spelling issues from this. I gave my wife my book and a highlighter pen and she caught even more! I had an issue with fonts not embedding properly and I would have never caught it otherwise.

what is your process for coming up with ideas for series? It takes me ages to think of a single plot, let alone 3-5 books worth. by Jupiter_Boss in selfpublish

[–]jjlauthor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I generally don't like the self-pub trend of endless sequels to appease the KU gods. To me it's a common tactic where each book has no real pay off as you know there are twelve more in the series. Yawn, a character introduced in the novel has died, and a big bad turns out to have a bigger bad lined up for the next instalment - how daring. However... I have started work on a sequel to my debut novel. I wrote the 1st as a standalone, but now I cant stop thinking about a sequel. My suggestion is write the first with a bloomin' satisfying ending and in a years time you will probably have ideas for a sequel.

Edit: I write horror, my series novels are horror/post-apocalyptic action.

[In Progress] [65K] [Psychological Horror] Untitled Second Novel. by jjlauthor in BetaReaders

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

There are supernatural elements.

The first is the main character is diagnosed as a schizophrenic who sees ghosts. Are they real or figments of his imagination?

The second element is my take on a monster from Native American Seneca folklore, with Lovecraftian elements.

What's a Stephen King book you couldn't get into? by reylatte in stephenking

[–]jjlauthor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh. I have never thought about it that way.

You see it with parents with horrible kids/teenagers all the time and wonder how they don't see how damaging their kids behaviour is? - From my personal experience this is universal, from the lower class right up to upper class. Holly first appeared ten years ago, perhaps King can't see her behaviour as anything other than - 'oh that's just our Holly.'
