Ricardo Henriquez liked an update for It's All Fun and Games

Hi everyone!  Very quick update for you:

First, It's All Fun and Games now has a Facebook page!  This will be where the day-to-day things get chronicled, so if you're interested in following along, please check it out!  I hate spam email as much as the next guy, so I'm going to try to minimize the number of updates you receive.

Second, I was featured in the local newspaper on Thursday (a day late for the contest, but there's no such thing as bad press), and on the UMaine news feed on Friday.  If you're interested in seeing either, please swing by the FB page.

Almost lastly, Inkshares interviewed each of the five winning books, and our answers are here!  Check it out, and throw a little love their way if their books strike your fancy.

Very lastly, The Catcher's Trap hit 750 preorders today - the ebook goal.  This means only 250 left for the print run.  Check it out on Inkshares.com.  

Thanks again for your continued support!  I've submitted my initial paperwork to go to the design and edit team, so things are trucking right along!

Cheers
Dave

    Dear Friends we reached 750 orders!

    Thanks to all of you who have supported me, to those of you who have ordered more than one copy of the book and to those of you who have shared the link with your friends and family.

    This means The Catcher’s Trap will become a published book!

    I don’t want to be sappy, but I have to (start playing Sarah McLachlan song) The young immigrant who came to this country 15 years ago, barely speaking English but full of hopes and dreams, never thought this dream would come true; thanks to all of you it has.

    So now we keep pushing. 43 days to go and 250 more books to sell.

    If you have not pre-order a copy of The Catcher’s Trap, please do. If you have already, please spread the word; hitting 1000 copies will be hard!

     

    thanks

      Ricardo Henriquez commented on The Invincibles
      Hi Jordie.

      I read your chapter as you requested. There is a lot of potential in your writing, you definitely have a gift for storytelling. Of course you are only 15 and have a long way ahead of you, but keep writing; the only thing that makes you good at writing is writing a lot. Just two tips regarding this text: 1. show don't tell. This means don't describe the actions happening describe what the characters are feeling, how the actions are affecting them. For example instead of saying "she was embarrassed" say "a rush of blood flooded her face; she tried to look on a different direction so he wouldn't notice" 2. pay attention to your verbs. If your protagonist is speaking in first person present tense, then you have to stick to it. Good job!

        I've gone through and updated the main page to reflect many of the changes coming to The Children of the Forest. If you haven't had the opportunity yet, check out the new Prologue chapter, read through the new summary, and let me know what you think!
