She seems to be looking at things mostly from the viewpoint of a more experienced (self published) author, but otherwise this should offer some help to all aspiring writers. One suggestion: get your editing and your covers arranged a bit earlier...
Oh dear. Season 1 was promising, and had some interesting plotlines. An interesting ending. Lots of possibilities for a great season 2.
And then season 2 actually happened.
Just a single season, YA, and a bit tight on budget, yet quite promising.
Unfortunately, there won't be a second season. I personally think it deserved one, but I can live with it the way it is.
Dutch: Blogger is gratis maar soms wat onhandig, daarom heb ik de 'about' pagina aangevuld met wat extra informatie.
If your work uses any em-dashes (—) or ellipses (...) you may have considered the following conundrum: should you enclose them with spaces, or not? And should you space out the ellipse . . . or not?
Well... it depends.
Series Review.
Are you old enough to remember the old Addams' Family? You might have seen one of the replays, or read any of the cartoons. Skip the nineties-something movie, and forget about the animated series. What you need is the original, weird stuff. So, where does the Netflix series sit?
I create and edit my covers in good ol' Photo Impact, with a dash of Krita on the side.
I've shared this link in the past (3D book mockup covers) but did you know there's a full fledged online cover editor as well?
I've updated immprep.exe, fixing two small bugs, and adding Word (.docx) support. Note that the command line parameters have changed, to allow for more flexibility, and support for other TTS applications (not yet implemented, but it's easier to do now). When working on Word support I ran into a few issues (for the full story and latest version of ImmPrep read on).
This is a follow-up to Book & Chapter Sizes.
I found some information on the size of best selling books, and it seems they're getting shorter and shorter. Is that Twitter, or do readers simply have less time these days?
Netflix has a habit of killing off promising fantasy series. Some barely make it past the first season, some get a few episodes more, but to be honest, Netflix (just like all the other streaming services) rarely give a series the chance to grow on people.
And so they killed this one as well. Fortunately, the core plot was done before the series was canceled.
Elon Musk is still messing around with Twitter (aka the sewer of the Internet) and this time he has irked the user base by imposing limits.
I applaud his actions.
Amazon is de grootste (online) boekhandel ter wereld, maar als Nederlandse gebruiker is niet altijd alles even duidelijk.
Een paar tips voor het veranderen van land, webwinkel en taal.
Dit is een update op de oude post.
A few hours after the closure of the race in Austria (at the Red Bull ring) a number of drivers got additional time penalties, leading to a shuffling of the race results.
During the race Hamilton complained about Verstappen, and I joked that it would be quite the joke if it was actually Hamilton who would get an extra penalty... and he did 🤔😒😂🤣
Anyway. It's tough. But let's be a bit pragmatic... maybe it doesn't matter as much as some claim.
Standard action flick with Jennifer Lopez as a former agent who went undercover to protect her newly born child, and has to protect the orphaned kid fifteen years later.
For a standard Netflix action flick, it’s surprisingly good (if a bit predictable). But the most important question isn't answered: how the hell does Jennifer Lopez keep in shape?
Why does Microsoft keep doing these things? My home server (a Windows 10 box) ran perfectly fine, and woke up when requested. And then, suddenly, it doesn't respond to a WOL anymore.
Possible reason: Windows 10 decided that their limited default Windows-provided driver was better than the custom, certified driver provided by Asrock.
Unfortunately, re-installing the original driver did NOT restore WOL functionality. Why, Microsoft, oh why... Anybody help?!?
Wallpaper.
Last month's wallpaper was a whopping 10kb, this one is actually the largest in my (small) collection, at 2.5 Mb. As usual I have no clue where it came from 😓 and feel bad for the original artist.
