New to twitter so everything is all new to me. i go by Dacgno, (Diabetic Asian Chef Guy Number One) lol. From OHIO just in China visiting family. SF/F author
Had a nervous breakdown. I paid reedsy for a developmental and copy edit for my entire book.
After 8 rejections,
I paused querying temporarily and sent my 1st ten pages to an agent for consultation.
He caught so many things like repetition, and I shouldn’t switch to different

Jake: hey Ray what’s up?
Me: points at monster*
Jake: Snaps fingers*, “welcome to earth 4, hopefully this earth works compare to your last 2.
Me: yeah, it’s getting really tiresome.
Thank you all for your kind words, I’m going to take your advices and take a break from writing. Clear my head on this matter. I apologize if I haven’t replied to anyone’s response.
I am actually surprised my previous tweet got so many views.
Oh my gosh! I found my old Map I created. This is the Map for my book series Roceria.
Made this when I was 19 years old.
This world is called Efana, and book 1 takes place in the Continent of Antinia.
Boy I was such a nerd. lol
Anyone else make a map for their fantasy world?
Is there such a thing as a anime style novel?
My novel is starting to seem more like a anime, should I make it more realistic? Or keep it on the same path?
Hey question to any writer. When sending a document to a beta reader what software should you use?
Like I was thinking of just sending my chapters by docx using my email. But I heard Google docs is better.
Can anyone tell me how I should send it?

Build a trap door in your house. Have them come over and when they stand above the trap door you flip the switch. The pit ends up being a slide that leads to the outside into a pool of mouse traps.
I really need to stop watching cartoons.
So my protagonist is at the wizard academy and her classes are Healing Spells, Defense Arts, Potion Crafting, Plant identification.
And
Algebra and Trigonometry.
Remember kids, Math is everywhere, even in another world.
I just want to state something that I want to get off my chest. I don’t have a degree in writing. English was my 2nd language and I’m just an amateur at best.
That being said,
Writing has saved my life countless times. I’ve suffered a lot from real world problems and the death

Meats, any type of meat I try to spend more money for quality. I’ve seen chicken filled with hormones and antibiotics. Pigs and cows the same way. It’s disturbing.
I make sure to buy mine at a local butcher or a farm.
When you don’t post in two weeks, your view rates drop significantly. 😩
I haven’t posted in two weeks because I finished editing my book. I wanted more so I wrote a sequel and once I finished the sequel. I wrote the sequel to my sequel. lol
120,000 words typed in two weeks.

again? i would love to meet some new writer friends (& hype up the ones i’m lucky to know already) so go ahead and (re)introduce yourself! 👀💕
So my MC Trint has a Baby red dragon that poops and pees in his bed all the time. Causing the two to get into hilarious fights and a lot of burnt clothes.
Still they are best friends and wouldn’t abandon each other ever.

Exercise, it helps to bring dopamine to your mind and gets the creativity juices flowing.
Apple juice before going to sleep, gives you wild lucid dreams and write them down as soon as you wake up.
There are others but I stick with these two.
Can any author or writer here tell me their experiences with a small publishing house? I’m curious if maybe a small publishing house would be better for a new author such as myself.

Me: world exploding

I was always a RL Stein goosebumps kid, love those books. But they didn’t cost an arm and a leg only 4.95. This was back in 1998. Now I worried it’s just to expensive.
@JFLhere
Me: So…what kind of probe do you use?
Alien: we don’t do that anymore…
Me: excuse me for a second
Me on phone with my space ship crew: what the hell guys?! When did are rivals stop probing humans? Are we still doing this outdated crap?
Had a dream where I got a book published but my picture in the back of the book was me wearing a bunny costume. Not sure how I feel about this. What does my dream mean?!!!
Am I going to be published or do I get a bunny costume?

Hi everyone I'm seeking beta readers for my new novel
Roceria
It's just going to be the first 3 chapters for now. I want to get opinions on it before I move on to the next 3 chapters.
Genre is Fantasy, YA
The story is about three boys who get transported into a world within a
I’ve officially entered a new realm of writing.
I present my newest WIP
“The Last Knight of Alaria “
Romance, Drama, Low fantasy.
Now time to hate myself for I have 4 Wip’s to finish. Each with a different genre. 😭😭😭
Hey writers, what is the most words you’ve written in one day?
The most I ever wrote was around 10k. The idea came to me in bed and I had to write a summary so that I could remember it later and turn it into a novel.
Imagine meeting your Main Character in real life. What would they say to you? For me, my MC would say, “why do I have to fight the big monsters, why not a small fluffy bunny…or a one legged creature…god you’re a dick!”

I fell for this with my first game I bought.
The legend of Zelda, a link to the past.
Always thought the main character was named Zelda. Took me a while until i figured it out.
@AuthorTOBurnett
Jaguar goes for throat so no
Komodo dragon has bacterial bite practically poisonous so no.
Rhino are very territorial so they will charge. So no
Gorilla, I’ve seen Disneys tarzan enough that I just need to go “ooh ooh ahh ahh ooh ooh”.
Taking myself out of the query trenches. No matter how I can rewrite Beyond Destiny. I just can’t get it to be a stand alone.
Thinking about the self publishing route but before I do I’m going to finish editing Roceria and going to try the traditional method with this one.

Chinese food for take out, Italian food for eating in.
Now the irony is Real Chinese food I prefer dining in.
Real Chinese food like Cantonese lobster, pork belly with taro. Filet tilapia with Chinese broccoli. Ma po tofu with Szechuan sauce.
I had to go deep into my memories to remember why I loved writing. Writing helped me get out of my depression and prevented a lot of pain for me. I am now going to give writing everything I got. No matter how long it will take, it is my goal to become a published author.

I’ll be fine with this.

I as a writer, totally understand, it's a business that you need the writer to make money for you to make money. query trenches are relentless.

To an ancient store where people once went and rented movies for a couple days only to return them or else face a penalty.

The number 1 thing I want to do just right before I die?
Tell my doctor to cut off my right hand and freeze it in a middle finger position. Then have NASA launch my hand to the center of the galaxy using a missile. Probably take millions of years

But this information is great! Thank you!

My MC of my 2nd book series is a 16 year old boy who accidentally gets turned into a female. She then becomes a wizard and goes on a journey. Getting in ridiculous funny situations while ending up in a love triangle between 3 men. A Ninja, Vampire, and a wizard.
Who will win ?

Think about how fast you can construct a toothpick bridge with that many legs and webbing.
Also you would be a freak of nature but still, toothpick bridge!
Was watching a nature documentary and I got inspired at an idea. So take it away Trint!
Thanks Ray! Hey everyone, I’m Trint. I’m the MC of Ray’s debut novel “Beyond Destiny,” I’m here to explain a terrifying monster that I had to face in chapter 2.
