Oh wow! I am too excited. I opened the SPFBO post on their site ( Queen's Book Asylum ) and instantly went light headed. I'll get over this eventually... until then, I'm just going to enjoy the natural state of euphoria brought on by excessive nervousness.

I knew that was the biggest flaw with this contest, at least with making it into the top 10. For example, if someone wrote a REALLY good litRPG, but the blogger it was handed to hated litRPG's, it would never make it into the spotlight and could never be resubmitted. I had to downgrade my...

It makes me sad that I'm going to be stealing the Top 10 spot from James I just wish I was in a different bracket than James L. Rice, because I know he deserves that top 10 slot!

Do you have any self-published work? I thought you were traditional. Yeah, I submitted it with my AI art and claimed it as such. Look at some of the other covers in recent years... they are all insanely good!

Demesnedenoir Congratulations on getting in before the 41-minute mark! That was crazy. We ended up in the same bracket. "R. R. Hunter - The Untold Prophecy" is like six spaces away from yours. I felt really good about going in on this one, but now, not so much. lol Tell you what, if you make...

Thank you! I still owe you 6k words, just hit me up

Thank you very much. I was really sweating there at the end. I didn't think I would get the pre-release jitters, but it was pretty nerve-wracking. Released the eBook first, and I'm still waiting on printed proof copies. I copied my Google Doc over into Word to get the formatting done, but...

Thank you very much!

What an amazing journey! I cannot thank the Mystic Scribe community enough. I am so grateful for all of the guidance and advice I've received here. I wouldn't have been able to do this without it! https://a.co/d/g4meNMy

I had just posted in the self-promotion forum and it looks like it has been removed. Was it the short URL?

Heh. I did some work with VIPkid. Big company in China. Teach children English remotely. I believe I read that VIPkid or a similar company was saving all video from the 1-on-1 classes and having AI face scan to find the most effective teaching strategies. In the end, they would have AI teachers...

So, the latest and greatest that I've found since then is 11Labs. Just mind-boggling good. They give you 10,000 characters (not words lol) per month, so it's not feasible for audio screening and testing large blocks of writing. It can technically be used to create audiobooks. You can probably...

I actually did! I wrote 6 chapters that I thought turned out rather good! Went back the first book and added an epilogue and which makes the rest of the manuscript look like even more of a pile of not-to-bad scraps

This! So much this. Especially for any writer who plans for an audiobook. Some sentences read find, but come off awkward when read aloud. I've done this myself on a few spots and found sentences that needed touch ups

All of that is solid advice, thank you very much! I almost fell into the pattern you mentioned, but couldn't help but make touch ups during my re-reads. I feel like the bones are pretty solid, I watched for plot holes with extreme prejudice lol. Only a few patches needed to be made in that...
