rabidbite - on to a better place. Once star falls while your other rises Let's hope it does rise. I'm more worried about proper advertising than quality of the work. I think the book is good (will be much better as I finish the final line edits and the final proofreading). Now its just about finding proper exposure. By the way, I might add a "Game" page to my website. Perhaps a list of games I've played and such, and links to their developers, etc. I'd probably do that after I actually sit down and finish fixing the forum. rabid

rabidbite, is the book going to be printed, or is it just an e-book? Originally just an ebook, but I've had people asking for a print version. Thus, I'll have to go through www.createspace.comrabid

So, talked to Red Adept Publishing. I have to get the 2nd manuscript as ready as I can inside of 3 weeks. So, I might be little seen for the next 2 weeks or so.

Simply posting to say that I'm still alive.
I am still waiting on the proofreaders so I can put the 1st book up for sale on amazon.
The 2nd manuscript is coming slow, but its coming. A lot of rookie mistakes to fix in it. Switching some scenes around and removing a lot of Cerberus's observations about humanity. They become fluff and take away from the story pacing. I prefer his observations to develop through dialogue and scene synergy.

Some of Cerberus's views on humanity were the best part of his psyche. There were many points in the story where one begins to wonder who the true monsters are and that was great. I loved how he was often pulled in to different directions with his need to both kill and protect. However you tackle this latest battle, I know you will come out on top and we will be amazed.

Hey rabidbite! Found a tip for you from this really cool writer, Writing tip that worked: When you're stuck, write whatever comes to mind. Somehow writing about laundry turned into an alien space battle.

Not me, alas. While I wish rabidbite the best of all possible successes, I am not one of those gregarious people (I hate that the word social has been used this way! I am not anti-social, I am anti-gregarious!) who has a facebook or twitter account. And I have privacy concerns with both companies ... But that is neither here nor there. rabid, are you getting paid for this? If so, maybe you qualify for SFWA membership. www.sfwa.org/about/join-us/sfwa-membership-requirements/If you do, go there, join the members forums, and ask what you can do there. You will drown in advice from people who actually make a living selling their fiction, so ... well worth joining if you qualify. Gräv I need to make a LOT of money before the Science Fiction Writers of America group even looks at me. rabid
