    Hello

    Hey guys!

    I had this strange, nostalgic urge to run back over here and look around. Damn this site has changed a fair bit in the last... 43 weeks since I last popped in.

    So, what's up?

    How to Make YOUR Blurb/Description Better


    So, I've been spending a fair bit of time here. It's a site for writers, similar to Fimfiction, but a tad more... general.

    Infatuation

    So, My friend Malus did a thing.

    You're not obliged to, but if you feel like it, take a gander. It's a letter, of sorts.

    LINKY!

    How You Go About It - The Editing Process

    I've been writing for a little over two years now, both as a terribly time-consuming hobby, and for work. When I started, I thought that rereading, editing and drafting were sins. They were wastes of my precious time. Now, after many a mistake, my views have changed.

Ravens Dagger's Ebook Index · 3:32pm Nov 30th, 2012

All right, let's cut to the chase.

My dream has always been to become a published author. So, in order to achieve this, I decided thumb-twiddling would get me nowhere. I wrote a few eBooks, some of which I am proud, some not so much, all of them are free.

Here’s the page where I’ll list them. As I said, they’re all free, because I like free! But! There’s a nifty ‘Pay what you want’ feature that I won’t encourage you to use, because I honestly don’t need the money that bad, even if I should spend that six hours a day differently.

Anywho! Here’s a list of the eBooks, and I’ll be adding more to this very page whenever I’m done!


Title: Of Kids and Crushes.
Description: Lucas is not the luckiest boy, far from it. He’s not popular nor fit, and the girl he loves most can’t get her head out of the field. Some of that changes when he finally gets the courage and misfortune needed to break out of his shell.
Link: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/260198
Words: 28 Thousand and change.
Author’s Opinion: Dear God, what is that thing? Honestly, it’s somewhat solid writing, but I just don’t like the story... I still managed to finish it.



Upcoming Work: Of Courses and Corruption (working Title)
Sometime next Month!


Also, the IRS likes keeping my hard earned money... So does Canada (But I get health-care and free insurance and stuff) ‘Merican’s are meanies! Now I have a mountain of paperwork to fill...

First nonsense post for me?
RavensDagger ->:ajbemused:

OH write an adventure story! I'll read the hay out of it.

I enjoy your writing and I would like to get your eBook but every time you say something about it you claim it is terrible.
I like your honesty but you really need to work on how you advertise.

You have a goal, and a dang good one.

He's turning into one of those "woe is me" artists that think their work isn't good enough to get paid for doing. We need to make him feel special or we'll lose him to that dark void of cliche authorism!

Also, you can just put 0 in the amount if you want... :twilightsmile:

555510

Ah... I probably do. I like honesty...

Don't worry, I love the next story to bits! Hopefully that'll show through my 'Advertising'!

FOR FREE!?!?!?!?!!?

556028
Well, 'pay what you want'

Just enter 0.00$
Or, download the sample, which I've set to be 100% of the book. (I encourage you to download the actual thing though, the sample doesn't give a tick on my sale counter thing)

I know, I just wanted to make a joke :twilightblush: Unfortunately I couldn't find a shorter version of the clip :facehoof:

Just a random guy here to wish you the best of luck on becoming a published author! :pinkiehappy:

556238
Thank you, good sir!

Maybe one day I'll make a living off of this! Well, I can dream...

28,000 words approx.? That's about two chapters worth of This Platinum Crown. I'll be finished by tomorrow.

Whoopee Canada! Insert Patriotism Here!

557665
Snow, Maple Syrup, Lumberjack, Snow, Slush, Wet, Logs, Eh, Français, Snow Sucks, Beavers and Igloos.

557675
Polar bears, Eskimos, and free healthcare.

Are you ever going to make a name that does not start with "Of"? :rainbowwild:

Canada? I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE A FELLOW CANADIAN! I 4M 3XITE!!!

557877 Good on you!


You know you're a Canadian when you know the four seasons of Canada: winter, winter, almost winter, and road construction! (Not my joke)

Lucas is not the luckiest boy, far from it. He’s not popular nor fit, and the girl he loves most can’t get her head out of the field. Some of that changes when he finally gets the courage and misfortune needed to break out of his shell.

Now, one of the things I said I would do is provide a far better description than this. Now, there is not only some grammatical errors in this, but it is also fairly straight forward and lack flair to make it appeasing. Here is my revised version
Lucas is not the luckiest boy. He lives a very exciting life, but he made it a goal to change it. There is a girl that he loves in his class. She is a athlete that focuses on nothing else but the field. After some time, he has decided to come out and confess his love to her, but doesn't know how to easily come out and say it. This is his story that shows the hardships of love in life.
I like this one far better. It is long enough for enough information to get out, and short enough to not give the whole thing away. Maybe consider adding it? oh, and I have left numerous comments on the google e-doc version of OKaC. I suggest that you look at them as they have numerous revisions that need to be addressed.

May the odds be ever in your favor good luck

Um...

Isn't that what they say to the tributes before 90% of them die?

Let me give you a tip about advertising your product from my father: No matter how good somebody else product is, tell people it's ugly; No matter how bad your product is, tell people it was so damn good like it was created by God Himself.

562936 well, welcome to business world! but don't worry, that's why an artist (Literature, Graphic or Music) is different since there is a taste factor and many other that doesn't exist at the other commodities.

But what you can get from my father advice without telling lies and other evil businessman doing is
JUST BE CONFIDENCE, just look around here, you are pretty famous and write better (at least to me), why stop now?

And everybody here is because they are watching you right?all that 800 more watcher, why don't you try to get watcher outside the fandom, I know you can, just be confidence and keep creating, cheers! :scootangel:

(I'm starting to sound like an old man :rainbowlaugh:)

Try to make it for kindle DX :scootangel:
P.S. I didnt like the Trixie episode....

Keep up the good work RavensDagger, also do try to admit to yourself that all your works are good once in a while
(Does anyone know how to get the EBook on a kindle?)

564122>>564162

It'll be on Amazon soon!

Hey that means that there is a chance for you to be great :twilightblush:

564320 I probably sound stupid for asking but the book is about human kids right?

568543

Yes, human characters (No, you don't sound stupid. Asking is never a dumb thing to do)
I couldn't write with equine characters without having Hasbro sue me...

What's bad about American's?!:twilightangry2:

DONT YOU BUCKING DARE SAY IM BAD BECAUSE OF THOSE ASSHOLES. THEY ALMOST TOOK MY PARENTS AWAY AND LEFT ME HOMELESS. Sorry I just don't like being judged. Like derpy.:derpytongue2:
