I’m going to read these things, but I got to wondering on my drive to work today…

have you ever noticed how there’s all of these creative people out there that can come up with amazing universes filled with exciting adventure, but are never able to follow it through because they’ve moved on to the next big thing? and then, there are the people that can really run with an idea once they think of it, but have a hard time getting over that first hump?

well, hooking those people up would be awesome. i’ll need to read the culture & character clinics, but I’m thinking a simple online repository for people to input & search cultures or characters (“i want to write a book about intelligent kittens, but i don’t know how to get it rolling…”) wouldn’t be half bad.

maybe have voting available for folks, and veto for Your Mightiness. I don’t know if it’s something you’ve considered, but I wanted to throw it out there. If there’s not a product that could do that already, I bet I could build it. That’s my job, yknow… 😛

Holly,

My mum always said “ A watched pot never boils.” So, I’ve only been dropping by, every now and again to check on the progress of Create a Culture Clinic.

Today before reading the entire announcement that the clinic was available… Purchased, downloaded….reading at the same time doing the same happy dance as TinaK.

Shawna, the way I look at it is…there’s always next year 🙂

Oh, no, I wouldn’t want you to spoil it, either. I was teasing. I just wanted you to know how… umm… effective it is. 🙂

(Besides… it’d need BEVERAGE ALERT stamped all over it…

My Nano came to a rather abrupt pause, too. It’s not that I don’t think I can do this, though… it’s that I want to stop and go back and play with the story’s world… and if I do that, my chances of actually finishing this month might go from slim to none. Then again, if I do, it might be easier to write those words. Damned if I do, damned if I dont…

Oops, in my excitement, I left a sentence dangling, didn’t I? *tee hee* Bad monkee!

In the sentence that reads: “It’s astounding how finding the key for an old rusty lock can do…”, I meant to finish that with, “…wonders to jump-starting a fading project.”

I’m just a big silly!

This is amazing stuff! Thanks for the time in putting this information together, Holly. My novel has taken one giant leap forward using the “Create A Culture Clinic.” It’s astounding how finding the key for an old rusty lock can do…and the sad thing is, I had no idea how or why the lock (on my writing) had gotten that way until I read through this.

I wish you well, and look forward to delving deeper into your writing.

Regards, Christian

“… something utterly cool that they could invent, create, or explode…”

I think I just died over here. Umm, you forgot the beverage alert, lol.

You’re being mean, Holly. Not only have you halted my NaNo-ing for the day, but now I feel like I cannot possibly craft a plot that will live up to the worlds and characters I’m creating. You’re such a poopy-headed story-ruiner. ;_;

Holly what have you done to me! Don’t you know its november!

I’m having enough trouble with my Nano procrastination as it is. I don’t think I’ll be able to resist the temptation to start playing with this now I have it in my grasp.

Help me …

That’s great, Holly! I’m glad to hear you got this finished. It seems these e-books are doing great for you! I’ll get your book, but first I have to earn money, because people got rid of the barter system and that makes getting anything for me nearly impossible.

Congratulations Holly!

I’d love to get this, especially as Christmas is coming up — people have been asking me what presents I want. I’m just wondering… what’s the delivery time like for overseas? For Australia? I only ask because the last time I ordered a few books (not from your shop, Holly, but in general) they took 2-3 months each to get here.

Hoping to be able to get a few of your books soon!

lol… what, nobody yelling first?

I just now came back to comment… went off to purchase, added a link to my blog, started printing, started dinner… priorities, you know.

Got it! Heather’s first paragraph applied to me — until I read your teaser. I would have purchased the book anyway, but that made me see why I needed it.

Purchased, downloaded….reading now.

Are these e books doing well for you Holly? Could I ask, just because I’m curious, how many copies have been downloaded of say…Create a Language?
