Hi all

[Alison Lawrence]

Yes. Promotion is the big issue for most people. A big plus is how much you learn, and how determined you become

For me its like....take advantage of all their resources, but lose control, or keep control and have a high learning curve. But...I can learn the curve, so...ill be better off going through it. Just becomes how much money and energy do I want to spend. I am not sure yet.

The satisfaction you feel when you do, is worth it. Anyway, you can still submit your stories. I see there are quite a few places that accept fantasy submissions (unsolicited)

If I did shorts stories, I would do that. But I am too far down my own path to change up now.

Even as I post, I am editing it now, making ready to publish. I will be out of this phase in maybe a week. Maybe two, but not more.

I'm pretty much ready with everything else.

 

[Alison Lawrence]

Yes, I can imagine you would need to keep your focus. I have just started writing an outline for a new story as we chat. Keeping my options open on the length. May make a bit of a project out of it and see if I can get to 50 000 words or so. Not sure. Well, I'll sign off, and write a bit more and finish my tea. Thanks so much for the chat and kind words. See you around and let me know how you get along with the publishing.

Outline? What's that?

 

[Alison Lawrence]

Don't know if it's so much an outline as my messy notes

 

[pmmg]

As long as it works.

 

[Alison Lawrence]

True. Best wishes for your final stretch.

Hey Alison,

Your story posted in Portfolios cannot be commented on. If you are looking for feedback it would be better to post it in writer's work.

 

[Alison Lawrence]

Thanks! It's a bit confusing at first.

 

[Alison Lawrence]

Where is that?
