Everything related to writing
So… this upcoming Saturday, November 28, 2015 I have a book signing at Needful Things Market in Owasso, OK. Come on out and see me, and get a copy of the book signed. I’d love to see you there! Also the end of the semester is screaming right along. Week after Thanksgiving is finals week….
So, it got to me this morning that there are never enough hours in a day. There are never as many days in the year as we think, and there are never enough years, period. Now, I’m not scheming on literal immortality, but the fact of my own mortality hit me pretty hard this week….
I have typed in Word for years, and I’ve maybe used 10% of the tools it offers. Two features that I haven’t used until venturing into self-publishing are the Space After, the Section Break and the Page Break. Surely, the return key is just as good, right? Well, maybe for regular use. When you go…
I got the first proof copy of my book a couple of weeks ago, and there were more than a few formatting errors, even though Createspace said everything was fine. It turns out that unless you have the formatting in mind when you create the document, there are going to have to be some adjustments…
When you first venture into self-publishing, you know there are going to be costs involved. Hey, if it was cheap, it would be a whole lot easier to break in, right? But there are some things that might escape those keen observation skills starting out and sneak up to bite you in the–wallet. (This…
Friday was a big day for me. I apologize for not posting sooner, but the first novel in The Nova Chronicles is complete. I put the end on Bone Sliver at around 12:30 am CST Saturday morning, and I guess I took the rest of Saturday to recuperate and crow a little online. It’s been…
Hey Y’all, If it seems like I haven’t been posting as much lately, it’s true and here’s why…I’ve been working on finishing Bone Sliver. I’ve got about five or six chapters to go before the first installment of The Nova Chronicles is ready to go to beta readers. Beta readers are very important in an…
When people speak of “entertainment value” they are usually talking about what the audience gets from being entertained. This is about the other thing. Last semester a guy in my Writing For Mass Media class named Matt told everyone about the Tulsa Review and that they publish student and faculty stuff and that they would…
So I’m thinking that since Bone Sliver is written in first person, the back matter should be too. Let me know what you think! Hit me up on Facebook or by email! Thanks, D.E. Chandler BONE SLIVER So, I’m the guy who failed. I failed to save the world, and it’s officially gone to shit. …
School will be starting Monday for me, but if my grades hold, I will graduate with my Associate’s degree this year. Starting Fall 2015, I plan to be pursuing my Bachelor’s. Still looking at transfer college options, but OSU and NSU are likely candidates. Not sure what I’ll do after that, but I plan to…
