Sharyl Friend Pavlisko liked an update for Practical Applications For Multiverse Theory

SCOTT AND DAVEY ARE BACK.

PRE-ORDER PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS FOR MULTIVERSE THEORY 2: SPRING BREAK BOOGALOO NOW!

That’s right, people who bought our first book, the much-anticipated (by someone, we’re sure) sequel is now up for pre-order! (Here’s the link: http://bit.ly/2qti5sp)

Scott and Davey are back, and this time they have to stop all possible dimensions from collapsing in on the Spring Break and erasing all of existence. Yikes, right?

To make this publishing redux a reality, we once again need your help. We have to hit a certain number of pre-orders for the book to be published. And this time, we’re part of a contest presented by Nerdist.com!

WOW GREAT! I’LL GO BUY 15 COPIES RIGHT NOW!

Wow, thanks for the enthusiasm! But hold your horses for a minute. Inkshares is run a little different this time. This time it’s based on how many unique readers buy a copy of the book. So if one account order 15 copies, it only counts as 1 preorder. So if you would like to buy 15 copies to support us, you’ll have to set up 15 separate accounts and order a book on each account.

I WANNA SUPPORT, BUT HOW MUCH IS THIS GONNA SET ME BACK?

If you want a ebook copy, it’s an easy $10! If you want a physical copy (which comes with a free ebook copy), it’s $22.13 after shipping costs! Both of these count the same in terms of pre-orders/the Nerdist contest totals.

THE NERDIST, I’VE HEARD OF THAT! BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT YOU’RE IN THE NERDIST CONTEST?

The Nerdist is now a huge media empire, being one of the three winners of the Nerdist Publishing Contest would mean huge exposure for our book, and Nerdist would work to expand our multiverse story to mediums like TV, comics, or movies!

SO HOW MANY OF THESE THINGS DO YOU HAVE TO SELL?

If we sell 250 pre-orders, we get published in ebook format, with print-on-demand physical copies. If we sell 750 we get published with full placement in bookstores and whatnot. If we’re in the top 3 of the Nerdist contest in number of readers on June 27th, we get full publishing placement with Nerdist branding regardless of number of copies sold.

BUT THIS IS A SEQUEL, WHY WOULD ANYONE READ IT IF THEY HAVEN’T READ THE FIRST ONE?

Good news! While there will be references and extra enjoyment for those who read the first book, it’s designed to be enjoyed by anyone, even those who have never even heard of the first book.

So please, order your copy now, and then tell everyone you know to do the same.

OH YEAH HERE IS THE LINK AGAIN: http://bit.ly/2qti5sp

Thanks for you support,

Nick & Noa

Sharyl Friend Pavlisko liked an update for APEX

Dear Readers and Followers,

Good news! I have recently completed a detailed outline of my reworked manuscript. It took several attempts with a stack of index cards (each containing a single scene) to get the story just right. I’ve focused and tightened the story itself, and I’ve done considerable work on my characters and their motivations, too. Now, I’m awaiting feedback on the outline before I launch into the actual rewriting of the manuscript, which will be part revising and part new words on paper.

I’ve also been doing a lot of reading about writing in order to develop my skills as a storyteller, and I think APEX will benefit from the time I’m spending on that front as well. Thank you for your continued patience.

As a side note and shout out, I’m very proud of my fellow writers on Inkshares and the projects they’re working on right now, including Tal Klein, Ferd Crotte, Jane-Holly Meissner, Craig Munro, and Regina McMenomy. Just type in their name on Inkshares, and you’ll see what I mean. They’re participating in contests, hosting book signings, releasing novels after years of hard work, and so forth. It’s all very exciting and inspires me every day to keep pursuing my own projects.

Cheers, Debbie

Sharyl Friend Pavlisko liked an update for Human Resources

The developmental edit for Human Resources continues. During the last month I completed Act One of the rewrite, handing it over to Inkshares and my editor to review and "course correct" before pushing on.

I’m lucky to be working with such an engaged team who are working tirelessly to help me transform my rough-cut stone into a sparkling gem (of dark adventure). After reviewing the updated Act One, we have more changes to implement as we focus in on the core themes of the novel. That means a slight pause on the rewrite itself while the outline is tweaked further, then back into it with gusto.

I think it’s been a few updates since I thanked you all. I have this opportunity because of your generosity, and I won’t forget it. Thank you — for your belief, support, and patience. This process is a marathon, but I’m continuing to drive through it and each day brings us closer to physical books rolling off the production line.

BTW: If you haven’t seen it, Inkshares have a sci-fi themed competition running right now in partnership with Nerdist (https://www.inkshares.com/contests/nerdist-sci-fi-contest). There’s some great novels being pitched, so it’s worth checking out.

I hope you all had an amazing Month — I’ll be back with another update at the end of June.

Robert

Sharyl Friend Pavlisko liked the forum thread, Adding a chapter to an empty project: I've done the blurbs but it won't let me back in to add the chapter.

Hi @Wotevuh I am emailing you right now with instructions on how to do this, and a picture for your reference, but basically:

To add a new chapter, all you have to do is go to your project page and click READ, you should see a button that says ADD NEW CHAPTER.
