    Millionaire Gurbaksh Chahal Arrested For Hitting GF 117 Times in 30 min

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Unless you were there, in the room, saying things like "without a shadow of a doubt" just sounds juvenile, because you don't know. Maybe on paper, but not in the real world; no matter how much you'd like it to be. By the time people are found innocent, the accusations have done all the damage...

    Millionaire Gurbaksh Chahal Arrested For Hitting GF 117 Times in 30 min

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Not sure what country you live in, but in the US it's "guilty until proven innocent." Has been for quite some time. The fact that he was mixed up in this at all will haunt him for the rest of his life. As for your non-stop posting of saying how this chick lied, how do you even know? Just...

    Millionaire Gurbaksh Chahal Arrested For Hitting GF 117 Times in 30 min

    OFF-TOPIC 
    If every person who cheated was severely beaten, 99% of North America would be too injured to work. You all seem to think cheating is some kind of rarity or something. In western society, cheating is a rampant, fantastical practice that is romanticized to both men and women in media, books, tv...

    Jumping on the bandwagon

    PUBLISHING 
    'Bout time! :) Great intro! Interested to hear more about your experience with Select as I'm still debating on using it. I'm really, really hesitant because of the 90-day lock. Having a book missing from a series on another platform seems like quite the price for some promotion.

    [PROGRESS THREAD]: Six-figure Fiction

    PUBLISHING 
    Naturally, my book doesn't have a best-sellers rank. But, on the sales page, it does have an area where it says "Look for Similar Items by Category." This area lists two categories where my book is listed (Non-fiction broad, and the sub-genre I requested). I've already emailed Amazon to change...

    Sharing Pen Name: Pros & Cons?

    PUBLISHING 
    Yep, many people think you have to "write for passion," but, even the best writers in the world have been caught saying that they don't do it just for passion (although, many do), they write for specific audiences. If they were just writing for passion, they wouldn't be concerned with output...

    Sharing Pen Name: Pros & Cons?

    PUBLISHING 
    Yeah - I was thinking about that as well. Might be odd for someone to Google your pen name and see your fastlane fiction progress thread or something. Additionally, depending on how much anonymity you want to keep, once you start linking handles together, it's pretty easy for anyone to follow...

    Thanks MJ, great idea. I agree, definitely #2 or #3 - I'm just not sure which. #2 makes it so that not everyone in the world is viewing it, but makes the access attainable if the rep count isn't outrageous. #3 makes it an invite only club - which I kinda find appealing, but new blood...

    PUBLISHING 
    Yeah, that's how it's looking (which seems pretty obvious, now). Although, maybe I'm an idiot, but I wasn't able to figure this out until after the book was published. Which means, for anyone else as dumb as myself, when you're targeting your categories, pick two sub-genre categories for your...

    That's one thing I'm wondering about. If you're listed in a sub-grene, are you automatically listed in the main? For example: If you're listed in: Kindle Store › Kindle eBooks › Mystery, Thriller & Suspense › Crime Fiction › Murder Are you also automatically listed in this?: Kindle Store ›...

    PUBLISHING 
    Ugh. Maybe I spoke too soon. Seems I did get listed in my primary sub-genre, but they put my book in nonfiction as well? This could make for some not-so-fun customer rants. Amazon's category incompetency is really starting to irritate me. :( Shooting them an email.

    Milestone Update Book one is now live in the store! Yay! I have no idea what the category issue was, as they didn't send me any further information regarding the issue. After browsing the "Last 30 Days" list for my desired categories, and seeing my book, it appears I got it where I wanted it...

    Yeah, I can certainly agree, it's something I'm still working on. I mean, really, we are all aiming for the events. They're the culmination of process, so I think it's natural to look forward to them. I'm still working on refining my process, but, you're right - it's tough. I didn't get much...

    Sharing Pen Name: Pros & Cons?

    I've been debating on sharing my pen name in my progress thread, and I thought it might make a good topic for discussion. I know some people say not to share your pen name to avoid having people saturate your specific genre, but I think that people who are going to write for your genre are...

    Ways to learn how to write before writing an ebook.

    I may have misinterpreted your post, my apologies (and I enjoy your contributions too). If it appears like I was trying to label you as one of those "real writers," please know that was not intended. I was trying to speak generally, covering a vague group of people. I was simply trying to let OP...

    I hounded them with a couple more emails yesterday, as the 7 day quote time just seemed too far off the mark. Seems they are changing things in the category area. This scares me. Because my book is targeting that category specifically. If it's denied, I really don't know if it will do as well...

    Ways to learn how to write before writing an ebook.

    PUBLISHING 
    No offense intended, but it's this kind of outlook that keeps people away from networking on writer boards/blogs/etc and even publishing their first book. I don't disagree that people should avoid throwing up garbage just to try and make a buck, but, it seems to me, that people who consider...
