P.H. James sent an update for The Seventh Aspect

Lots of great news! 

The Seventh Aspect is now an Inkshares staff pick! It’s also received a recommendation from none other than our fearless leader, and Inkshares CEO Jeremy Thomas! (I certainly didn’t see that one coming). To say I am humbled and grateful is an understatement. 

I’d just finished another big round of edits on the posted chapters right before he sent his recommendation. So keeping your drafts updated and improved pays, folks. You never know who is lurking. 

In honor of this fun occasion: 

1. I have a long professional history in showbiz, so I’m a sucker for dream casts. I’ve decided to share my dream cast for the main characters in chapters 1 and 2. Here’s the kicker: I’m not posting their character names. So that means you’ll have to read to figure out who’s who. 

2. There’s a reference to an infamous 70’s horror film in chapter 1. Our main extraterrestrial character has a thing for human sci-fi and horror media. So bonus points if you catch it and know what it is. It’s funny, I promise. Similar funky references will be sprinkled throughout the story. 

Two more chapters are on the way.  You’ll get to meet more of our alien researchers, and maybe even travel to another dimension. Mmmm....dimensions....

As always, if you like what you read, please leave a comment or review. Thanks so much again for your interest. It means a lot.  

Stay tuned…

        Good morning Dreamers!

        I hope everyone is well, I hope everyone is safe, and I hope my friend recovered from being attacked by a pack of wild dogs he thought he saw (he was... extra sober). We have officially hit the one month mark and are sitting at 193 pre-orders! I tell you what I’m going to do about it, as I’m currently fist pumping and typing one -handed, which is taking forever. I am going to release a chapter at pre-order 200.

        The second bit of news is that I’m partnering with S. J. McCune of Millicent Barnes Comics for some artwork. I’ve followed his for some time off kickstarter, bought some amazing artwork which is now framed on my walls, and could not recommend in independent artist more highly. Check his work out at  millicentbarnescomics.jimdo.com or comixology under the name.

        Thank you again for your support and let’s get these last pre-orders for Quill!

        Sweet Dreams,

        Stephen

            It’s kind of just the nature of the beast that people are generally going to be really positive with their critiques unless specifically asked not to be. At least for people who are currently funding, anyway. We want as many new followers as we can get, so we don’t really want to step on each others’ toes and make people mad at us.
            It’s kind of an unfortunate inevitability. Some people may say they want harsh criticism when they’re really overconfident in their story and can’t see there being much to critique, then when it comes in they still get defensive and take it personally.
            I, for one, welcome criticism of the most brutal variety. I’m not here to push my vanity project, I’m here to get a story ready for readers and to land it on bookshelves. A lot of people see it that way too, but when you’re critiquing someone else who you don’t know personally, it’s hard to tell what kind of criticism they’re willing to take.
