    So, I heard a saying: writing isn't just writing. It's also thinking, walking the floor, doing dishes... ect. ect. ect. I saw a scene in a movie where a writer was resting on his desk, and asked what he was doing. (I'm writing!) Then I found this was a cute image. :) (Don't be like this writer...

    Writing & Publishing How many changes to republish?

    Hi! It's been a while since I've been here; most people explain why they went missing. All I can say is God has been working on something with me; not sure what yet. I know it'll become clear when it's time. Nevertheless! I wish to ask a question. At what point is a published book considered...

    Hi! So here's the deal, the Lord had been really blessing me recently and I kinda want to share my testimony here. I lived on the rough side of the city for about 12 years, and recently I felt so restricted/unable to stay. I felt God wanted me to move, but there were no options. Nothing was...

    Writing & Publishing Advice for being bored with story

    Silly question: I've been trying to revise and edit my story, but it's boring me so badly, and I'm not sure why.

    Writing & Publishing Covers

       I just feel like stating this at this point... I always wanted to have an amazing jaw dropping book cover created for my book. Somehow every time it comes to snatch a cover, my cover is just lackluster and I can't find anyone within reasonable price range to do it in a style I like. Some are...

      Does submitting an entry from your book for critique to either someone or online, like in the critique area of these forums, somehow effect copyrights or ability to be self published or something along those lines?   Just curious before I get into something that I'll figure out, I was...
