The final major edit of The Demon of Capra Town is done! Going to go through it one last time for syntax, then put a bow on it.

The artist for the cover is working on it now. Once finished, I am going to do a small Kickstarter for pre-orders.

More on this soon!

Got my first sketches of the book cover yesterday. The artist is great. Getting very excited.

Good morning #5amWritersClub

Wrapping up this book, I learned something important about outlining the next.

Scene outlines would be better explaining how the character or plot is going to evolve, rather than the milestones and general actions. Both is better, of course. But the first is important

Clearing last night's cans off the desk in lieu of this morning's coffee. Nothing can stop my writing fervor!

Good morning #5AMWritersClub!

Editor feedback, WattPad comments, and an audience materializing without me doing any real marketing.... Any moment now, I'll be flooded with notifications.

Right?

Yeah, not going to happen - what kind of activities are you doing to grow your audience?

Scott E. Schwarz @developesque.bsky.social · Feb 2

Good morning,

Just wanted to drop a link to the first three chapters of The Demon of Capra Town.

Would love to hear what you think!
Full book available: Who even knows... couple weeks?

You know what really #GrindsMyGears - when you fill out an enormous, time consuming online form. Then, at the end, they give you a "More Info" link that when clicked takes you off site and totally resets your form.

Good morning #5AMWritersClub,

Today, an update on my upcoming #fantasy #novel:
The final edit round of The Demon of Capra Town is well under way.

I would like to release the first chapter soon as a "demo".
Any suggested sites?

12 Chapters, ~75 scenes. ~110K words

Scott E. Schwarz @developesque.bsky.social · Jan 27

I hope it finds its place in the world!

Scott E. Schwarz @developesque.bsky.social · Jan 27

Well now I'm curious. I could Google it, but I prefer to hear it from experience. What's Nanowrimo?

Scott E. Schwarz @developesque.bsky.social · Jan 27

This is great! My daughter recently decided if I can write, she can too. Now, at 6, she is making attempts. I'll let her know it worked for you 😜

Thanks for sharing!

Scott E. Schwarz @developesque.bsky.social · Jan 27

For me, I was running a D&D campaign that just couldn't stay on topic or schedule, and I had a great story I wanted to tell. I started writing my first book, and realized I needed to set it up better, so it became the fourth book of the series, with a prequel trilogy.

Scott E. Schwarz @developesque.bsky.social · Jan 27

Good morning #5amWritersClub,

I am determined to figure out what gets our little community interacting with each other! Today's question:

What made you decide it was time to start writing a book? Was it recent, or a lifelong desire?

I would love to find something with cloud saving and editor annotation features, even if just comments.

Scott E. Schwarz @developesque.bsky.social · Jan 26

I use Scrivener for writing the bulk of the novel, but I also use Google Docs for the easy/built in commenting system with my editor (read, wife).

Scrivener has a nice layout for lots of notes around the edges

I also like WorldAnvil and Inkarnate for organization and creativity.

Good morning #5AMWritersClub - What tools do you use for writing? Maybe we could share some good ones in the comments for others to check out.

Sounds like a great premise, lot's of room to explore character arcs and unfold a mystery!

Scott E. Schwarz @developesque.bsky.social · Jan 15

Good Morning, #5AmWritingClub - Can you describe your book in one sentence?

My upcoming #fantasy novel describer is my bio.

Reminder: People asking for your manuscript on here are likely scammers crossing from twitter. Its rampant and ridiculous.

Anakin and Padme meme, with Anakin labeled as Brain and Padme labeled as writer, for the sake of the joke and definitely not a reflection of their characters

Brain: I have new ideas.

Writer, smiling: For the current work in progress, right?

Brain: silent

Writer, not smiling: For the current work in progress. Right?

Goodness it's been a busy few weeks! Fancy dinner for our firm tonight, then back up in the morning for some #fantasy #writing

I'm so close to finishing this last edit of The Demon of Capra Town. But my brain is mush. Two chapters to go and one scene that is fighting me.
