    Authentic

    I was thinking of going with the two-week trial, review a few books, quit, then come back a month or so later for another free trial. Or I might just scrape up $180 for a year. Currently, I am using Bookroar.

    Authentic

    Authentic is shutting down. Existing members will be shunted over to a bigger review site, Book Bounty, effective 12/1. Points transfer with the membership. The first two months at Book Bounty are at the same price as Authentic. After that, their cheapest annual package is $15/month or $180/year...

    Do you have any 'side' ideas tickling your writing muscles right now?

    This happened last week. I wrote 500 words' worth of notes and moved on. This happens often.

    Hey there! New fantasy author here!

    The Worldbuilding subforum is probably what you are looking for.

    Hey there! New fantasy author here!

    This subforum is where individual MS authors post threads to discuss their WIPs and what comes after. (Marketing, annoying, and filled with expensive traps.) https://mythicscribes.com/community/forums/writers-work.63/ My thread is titled 'Where do We Go From Here'

    Hey there! New fantasy author here!

    Most of my books are set in a tottering empire on another planet, where characters struggle to forge new lives in a nation they no longer understand while coping with past trauma in the wake of the Demon War. 'Empire' is he main series - six books plus the omnibus. It revolves around four main...

    Hey there! New fantasy author here!

    Welcome! Good fortune with your book! Best advice: Write a little every day, even if the vibe isn't there, even if you think it is horrible. That approach let me finish and publish a dozen books.

    A sci fi and fantasy setting for multiple stories

    I have a dozen dark fantasy tinged with SF books out there set on three reasonably detailed planets, plus references to several others (including Earth). The stories include knights, quasi-Roman soldiers, wizards of a sort, goblins, elves, dwarves, cat-people, utterly inhuman aliens, crashed...

    How do you keep your world notes useful while drafting?

    How do you keep your world notes useful while drafting?

    I have lots and lots of files filled with worldbuilding materials. That is mostly for prep and is rarely consulted during actual writing. For drafting, I have 'Title 0' files, one per story, with a bullet outline and a list of the main characters, towns, and stuff like that.

    Good afternoon from Eric, with one down and more on the way!

    Welcome! Congrats on the book! There are over a dozen other published authors in your position here at MS...and six or eight successful authors as well, including a name or three you might recognize. The rest, including me, fall somewhere in between. That said, one of the things I do here is...

    What is your worlds stance on lgbtq folks?

    Depends on where you live in the Solarian Empire, along with your social status. In the more conservative provinces, being Gay comes with a death penalty...for commoners. Elsewhere, Gays and Lesbians are tolerated. The main lesbian in the 'Empire' series is a formidable female warrior of noble...
