According to other authors I've spoke to, it's not great, but not terrible. Some say a great description will get a 10% buy rate.
Hi I published my book a few weeks ago and am trying to improve my conversion rate. Currently about 2-3% of those sent to the Amazon page buy it...
To start with its a mixture of him choosing where to go and his friends telling him what they need to do to fix him. They also have a lot of...
That's interesting, in fact I can think of a character like Tony Stark that I really disliked when I first watched Iron Man but that has grown on...
The problem is these comments are after only a couple of chapters. There's no time for growth, as they don't really give him a chance. It's...
It really depends how often it is done. If they go off on tangents all the time then it could become irritating, but if it's like once a chapter...
In my WIP I have a protagonist that is pretty anxious. He's physically quite strong and fast though never described, but there are people around...
I'm giving it a go with my current WIP. It's on Scrib if you fancy a read, see if it's the same sort of thing you are thinking of....

I try my best to give the impression I am all George RR Martin and will kill anyone off, but the truth is most characters that I kill off have a...
If you wanted to do something a bit different, if the guy is unconscious and cant swallow for a while, you can rehydrate by pumping water into the...
It's interesting, because on another forum I read a lot of people saying they hated italics for direct thought but were ok for emphasis :p...
This is mine. The most important for me is their weaknesses/flaws and motivation.
Hey, have you been reading my notes!? :D Thanks for pointing out the book, I'll add it to my list to read. Hopefully it's not too similar, but I...
