The Last Poster Wins! [v23]

Yeah, it's the same with movies. You have to hook the viewer/reader in FAST because attention spans are short. While it may seem necessary, don't do a lore buildup right in the very beginning. If something out of the ordinary doesn't happen within the first few minutes of diving into it, people will look elsewhere.

I made that brutal mistake with the novel I'm still trying to get published. Knocked out like five pages worth of introductory/exposition material just to jump ahead to where the story gets wild. I haven't tried submitting it again since then, but I'm waiting for a colleague of mine to give the red-lined version a look through first. I changed the ending around as well since the original submission.

Man, trying to get something published is BRUTAL. It feels like most places don't even want to try it unless you're famous, you have already published something in the past, or you know someone on the inside.

Like I told Gemma. My mom actually knows a writer and hangs out with her. Maybe I can talk to her and see if she can contact her publisher and hook you up? That is IF she’s okay with it or can.

Ohh, I'd love that. It feels like something you need to network with to get anywhere with it.

Things are not quite ready yet with the revised version I'm having my coworker review, but I'll take a raincheck on that. Seriously, I would appreciate that BIG TIME when the time comes!

Cool deal! No worries! I can at least give her a heads up and see if it will be an option for when the time comes.
