RE: Make Your Writing More Vivid With ThoughtShots!
Your example makes me think of some of the scenes I wrote in my fanfic. In later stories. I mention how lightning flickered at a said character's fingertips hehe I like using flashheads, as premonitions, visions and such. With magic in the mix, it makes it so much easier. Especailly when one of the races are telepathic.
Sometimes I can be too explanatory. That's why for SD I have an editor. I'm almost ready for my big reveal about it, by the way. My artist is painting the picture and will be able to complete it very soon!
Oh my goodness! I'm so excited! I can't wait!!!
It must be an amazing feeling :). You've come so far!
Oh for sure! I'm formatting everything, getting confused about it all. But I did the e-book and that went well. The Appendices took forever to do, but that was my first time ever. So when I sat down to do the actual novel itself, my Table of Contents was smooth sailing. (The clickable type.) I did a template in Scribus today. And installed my fonts. Tomorrow I'm going to tackle the actual novel itself. Who know how long that will take. Amazon has this great page that allows you to enter the size of your print book, and the number of pages in your formatted version and it spits out a template for the cover that you can download and then use in Photoshop. That makes my life so much easier.
I just need to figure out most of the places I want to publish the e-book version because apparently, different stores require different e-book cover sizes, grrrr. But what I'm thinking of doing is creating a cover template, all complete, that I can copy into different sized projects. That way I do it once, but some versions look a bit cropped, and it doesn't affect the main image or text.
That's awesome of Amazon, seems super helpful!
One thing you can take comfort in is that once you do this you'll always know how :)
Oh for sure. These are definitely useful skills for future projects.
