[PROGRESS THREAD] ChickenHawk's Self-Published Fiction EBooks
GOLD!ChickenHawk, I was wondering: do you use a Facebook profile or fanpage for you pen names? I don´t really want one because it is time consuming and keeps me from writing.- Karla

[PROGRESS THREAD] ChickenHawk's Self-Published Fiction EBooks
GOLD!No, it´s not weird :). I just found that having a plot before I start helps me a lot. But I´m sure there are a million ways to get that book finished- Karla

[PROGRESS THREAD] ChickenHawk's Self-Published Fiction EBooks
GOLD!Yes, I understand. I hated plotting. But now it gives me a good feeling. I know where my story is going and I am more motivated to finish it. I change things along the way (or add stuff) though. I hope your next book is as successful as your other books! When I hit a motivational wall I always...- Karla

[PROGRESS THREAD] ChickenHawk's Self-Published Fiction EBooks
GOLD!I know exactly what you mean by internal editor. But I learned to keep him quiet. I find that I write best if do NOT think to much about it. The editing comes later. I do believe that everybody is different though. I always found creating plots quite hard and a bit annoying. But since I found...- Karla

GOLD!Yes, that´s definitely true. I also believe that the more books you add the better for the books you´ve already written. So let`s keep writing ;-)- Karla

[PROGRESS THREAD] ChickenHawk's Self-Published Fiction EBooks
GOLD!Exactly!! 60k in two days is MAYBE possible but I doubt that this would be a book worth reading. Typing is NOT writing! I can write about 1.500 word per hour when I am writing my stories (but I am not a fast writer) 2k per day (like King) is perfect. It´s not too much and you are still writing...- Karla

[PROGRESS THREAD] ChickenHawk's Self-Published Fiction EBooks
GOLD!I agree! The only thing I do not like to much about this is that it´s not passive. Writing is fun but it consumes a lot of time!But I think the more books you have the better....because then you do not need to release 3 or 4 books per year (at least that´s what I´m hoping for ;-))- Karla

Creating my Fastlane with fiction books
PUBLISHINGHi everyone! Quick update: I just crossed the 50k word mark, which feels awesome :-)! My novel hash´t come to its end yet though. I think I will have to add another 2-3k before I am happy. After that I will edit my text and get a nice cover. I will also have to choose a pen name. Any tipps how...- Karla

Creating my Fastlane with fiction books
PUBLISHINGUpdate: I am 26k into my first novel. I will have written a bit over 50k words end of November. I want to publish my book before christmas. I think 60k should`t be a problem ;-). I am also busy finding a nice design for my cover. I just know that having a book cover will push me (because it`s...- Karla

Creating my Fastlane with fiction books
PUBLISHINGUpdate: Last month was the first month I made over 1.000€ with my books. This is not a lot of money but I think it is promising. As I told you already I started writing my first novel. I am 10k words in now and I am very much enjoying ist. I am aiming for 60-80k and should be finished by...- Karla

Creating my Fastlane with fiction books
PUBLISHINGThanks Bananas, this is what I`m hoping for. I will keep publishing kids stories anyway (even though I started with my first novel). What I don`t understand is, that in one month one story is doing well, the next month it only sells half of the copies. Well, maybe this is part of the game. Also...- Karla

Creating my Fastlane with fiction books
PUBLISHINGHi pz4ever, I am happy to answer any questions. I am publishing children books (these are short stories of around 4.000-4500 words). This means that they are for kids 5 years or older (since the stories are quite long for younger children ;-)). In the beginning I published them without...- Karla

Creating my Fastlane with fiction books
PUBLISHINGHi everyone, I have published another 4 kids stories so far. Not I´ve got 10 in total now. They are doing ok but not great. To reach my goal of 2000€ per month I´d need to have more than 60 stories. I will keep writing short stories for kids, but I also decided that I will participate in...- Karla
