Amanda Orneck liked an update for Detective Diaries

Hello, readers!

Welcome to our 2nd Detective Sunday! I hope everyone has been well, and hope that whatever you are pursuing in life pushes you to your maximum potential. For this Sunday, I’ll just go over what has been happening with me and my concerns for Detective Diaries that you all should know.

Well, I’m graduating pretty soon--actually next week, and I’m pretty excited to finally be leaving high school. I’m sure I’m one of the younger writers on Inkshares, and I see that as a bad and good thing. I lack experience when it comes to being an experienced writer, and what I mean by that is that I haven’t been exposed to plenty of things I write about. I like to envelope the reader in the scenery and put them in the shoes of my characters, but it’s pretty hard to get the full experience when you haven’t met a person that is this way or haven’t been in a huge city during the winter. I think of myself as a visual writer--someone who can make words hold meaning that can relate to my readers’ senses; however, I may just be thinking too much about it. 

Moreover, the positive thing about being a young writer is that I can learn from those who has been doing the same stuff I have for a long time. There are plenty of helpful writers and readers on Inkshares that I have gotten tips from, and I appreciate their assistance. It’s hard trying to pursue something without any knowledge on your best approach to handle the situation. 

Lastly, my concerns for Detective Diaries is pretty straight-forward. I know the amount of chapters I want to leave you guys on, but I’m wondering about when I should press that pre-ordering button. It has been bugging me for a while, but I believe I’m overthinking. I won’t tell you guys yet, but once I hit the chapter limit I set for myself, we’ll more than likely transfer to the next phase. At that point, we’ll have more people in our small community, and I’ll just have to reach out to people to hit the milestones we need to surpass to make this a reality.

Thanks for reading, and have a great Sunday!

Until next time, Sixth.

    Amanda Orneck liked an update for The Pirates of Montana

    Greetings, Programs!  

    We watched Tron Legacy last night. It was enjoyable, not as fun as the original, but still visually stunning. It needed more Bruce Boxleitner though. I think we’ll have to re-watch Babylon 5 soon...

    Anywho. Big news!! We’ve reached our (Peter) Quill goal!

    A huge thank you to everyone who has supported the campaign! I truly appreciate it!! 

    And a huge thank you to everyone who pre-ordered yesterday!! The American Cancer Society thanks you too!!

    We are in the home stretch of the Geek & Sundry contest, so we can’t stop the momentum!! Please, if you haven’t pre-ordered Pirates of Montana, do so now! Lets keep rocking!!

    Rock on,

    Erin

        Thanks to you, it’s a BOOK!

        I woke up this morning to the fantastic news that Pilot X smashed through the 750 preorder goal we needed to get fully published by Inkshares. That means this is a real book now with a real editing process about to start and real book marketing et cetera.

        I know I’ve said this a lot but I cannot thank you enough. 

        Pilot X thanks you too. He really has come a long way since we mistakenly thought he was a crashed airline pilot in the 1990s. Wow is he more than that. He’s not even human. And I can’t wait for all of you to get to know him and his world better. There’s a planet of monks who discover the Dimensional War, a small hut with three Pilot Xs working in it, and of course the Pineapple Planet. 

        But all of that will come soon enough. For now you’ve made my year!!

        Y’all rock.
