    So I have a bit of an issue with worlds that are purely fiction....

    I guess it's just a matter of time and practice for us all. :)

    The Gift Of The Lightlings

    Chapter One Thunk, thunk, thunk. Agri's hoe connected solidly with the soil. It wasn't naturally good, but he had worked hard to enrich it, and Leela would be pleased with the greens he was hoping to grow. Agri had labored hard to clear his small patch in the dense forest. The work...

    It is challenging! I let my imagination loose. I have an 11 year old and nine year old, plus an eighteen year old at home who all have great imaginations. They inspire me. I like Welsh, Irish, and even Afrikaans names. You can rework them a bit. Blessings

    Hi all, just a shoutout to say thanks. :) At the mo, I am only posting on my blog. I am working on a bigger project too, and possibly self-publishing at the end of the year, so I am going to be scarce. Love and blessings. Xxxx

    Helpful, thanks. Good idea to give it time. As with all platforms, you get more out of FB if you give and interact.

    Sounds like a sensible way to go. Of everything I've done, blogging is the most valuable. You get a lot of writing practice. It works for me as I mainly write short stories, but it would be a hassle if I was writing a novel.

    You have to really know what you're doing. Each platform has a target audience and own emphasis. Also, I wonder sometimes where the real bookworms hang out 🥸

    Social Media

    Yes, it's tough. I find it very draining, but on the other hand, actual friendships and connections can be made. I don't think writers sell a lot of books through social media.
