I think I have a Purgy first - my book was pulled from Smashwords for sexual content between minors. I'm going to tweak the scene & re-publish it.
Whoa. Congrats?

I keep trying to read Sharkbite my favorite stories from childhood. Onions, ONIONS I TELL YOU. Gah. I have no idea how my mom ever got through these sob-fests. Tackled my favorite tonight - the Velveteen Rabbit - and fortunately he fell asleep halfway through because I was bawling like a baby.
trinza, are youa pantser too?
it definitely is challenging. i hit 35k
(more than half way) and am taking
a break.
That one ALWAYS gets me. At a cousin's wedding last year, one of the readings was a scene from that book, when they talk about what it means to be real when you're truly loved, how once you're all beat up and worn and nothing matters except the love that made you real. Me = bawling at the ceremony.
Jo, I don't read the sad books to my kids. They don't need Charlotte's Web or Hans Christian Anderson. Happy endings! We need happy endings. They definitely prefer happy middles too -- don't like the trauma characters go through on the way.
No sex between minors. At all. I think it can be implied because my other books have been okay. But the opening scene & a later one are too explicit, I guess. They didn't say which ones, but I have a good guess.
Jo, that's awesome!
Er, what are the typeset pages, exactly? Are they like pre-ARCs? For editorial? *clueless*
Oh. That is weird--I would have though the typeset pages were analogous to the old galleys.

note to self: if self pubbing, don't
use smashwords.
