@ACSutliff thank you for that 

@Olivia_Benedetti I convert word documents to PDFs. That way if beta readers want to print it, they can't change the document first, at least not without purchasing adobe suite. You can also set your beta document up as a google doc that becomes unavailable at a certain point, so that the readers can't have the book forever. Unless of course, if they decide to print it. That's a lot of paper and ink though! There's a way to make google docs read only. I know you can just share without giving editing rights, so that would be perfect for beta reading too. I did a beta read and it was through google docs. If you send a PDF I don't know if there is a way to make the PDF expire like a google doc can.

@morfusmax1 Hi! I originally wanted it to come out at the end of June, but I want to change the release date to November since that is National Epilepsy Month. And the book is about living with epilepsy. So, November. =D

@ACSutliff I haven't used it to write actual text, but sometimes I've used it to bounce ideas off of...like, "pretend to be <character type> and respond to the following dialogue..."  Has been useful sometimes as a sanity check.

@ACSutliff I type it in to help me with description and sometimes dialogue if I'm having trouble and I try to use what it did helping me to put it into my own writing. 

@ACSutliff that's pretty cool! I'll have to give it a try 

@GoldFantasy thank you for coming by to check it out. I’m glad you liked it. I had a lot of fun writing my trilogy In My Head. I’m currently working on giving the books a much needed update so I can rerelease them with a proper book launch. We will see how it goes! I’m actually looking for some currently popular music that I can put in my book. Hehe, I’m so out of the loop on the kind of music kids are listening to. My hubby thinks I should just let it become a period piece, but I want them to have smart phones so I need to update it. Haha. 

@ACSutliff Very nice trailer!! It looks like a great book.

@DreLeonWrites awesome! I’m glad you think so. 

@ACSutliff okay! I’ll get to thinking. Those two are great reviews. 

@ArielMLongee I'd like a review summed up in a single sentence. Does that make sense? Thanks for replying! Here is another example from a review on Amazon: "The world is so rich with details and the magic system is deep and compelling."

@ArielMLongee That's great but yeah, I was thinking more of a fan sentence. Here is an example pulled straight from a review on Amazon. "The best bits of Harry Potter and His Dark Materials grafted onto a painstakingly conceived magic system."

@ACSutliff That's a great idea. Then, maybe after, you can ask the kids to read it to see if they can pronounce it correctly.

@SeraDrake good points! I love the idea of a lexicon. It would be different for each race of people and I have seven! But Spanish pronunciation of vowels is very easy to understand. Something like that would be great. The vowel pronunciations are the same as for Japanese. 

@ACSutliff - My instinct would then be to go with Keaiana. I want to use Greek pronunciation even though it's a fantasy name. But it being fantasy, I would say go with whatever pleases your eyes and ears the most. Do you have a lexicon built the way Tolkien did, or do you just have fantastic names?

@ACSutliff We live and learn, just using and going about with what I learned <3

@DreLeonWrites  thanks for dm-ing me. You are very thoughtful to ask rather than just go ahead and put my book on Youtube. I appreciate it!

@DreLeonWrites I will put her book on my TBR! I think discord could be a fun place to do a book club discussion if you wanted, down the road when more people are available who have read the book. Will you organize it or ...?

@ACSutliff Im hugely interested in for it---it's part of my big dreams, which are currently coming true, through first from @Saphire_Skyes then through you so, I hope to let you two get to know each other, bc The Fall Ball is a dear book and author that I charish and would love to some time near future meet, as well as you, and did u know there is a Wattpad base place in califona I think it was where wattpadian can go... I think to meet one another, it's one of my dreams currently, to go there... and meet authors... welp, yes, I got discord, should we exchange through Dms?

@DreLeonWrites I have discussion questions! Would you be interested in them? Like legitimate book circle discussion questions to get high schoolers to talk about the themes of the book and such. I'd love for the questions to get used. Can I be in the discussion too? How would you host the discussion? On discord? First we would have to make sure to have plenty of people who read the book already to join us. I can try to get people with a message board post. So if you are really serious about this, I'm all for it!
