Connecting the dots
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m excited about finding and exploring all the different interactive fiction sites out there. Some are pretty new, easy to follow and well designed, like Choice of Games, and some of them have been around since the good old days of Zork (you should not be worried if you do not get this reference!)
Anyway I’ve linked a load of them here at the bottom of the sidebar as I try to get ‘The Aegis Saga – Blood’s demo out to fellow minded interactive fiction fans.
Have fun! A lot of Choice of Games and Hosted Games authors have stories and profiles on these forums : )
Word count
. . .okay. . . may have slightly underestimated the length of my story ‘The Aegis Saga – Blood’.
Context! Harry Potter – The Order of the Phoenix was 257,000 words. Conclusion – I need an editor ; )
Places to promote ; )
http://blog.bibliocrunch.com/sites-to-spread-the-word-about-your-free-ebook/
There’s a ton of useful free sites to promote your ebooks and stories at Galley Cat, see above!
Brilliant article about getting your ebook out there!
This article by Denise Wakeman has so many useful tips from ebook writers. It’s got me thinking about how I can promote ‘The Aegis Saga – Blood’!
I’m going to look at things like free giveaways, friendly social media posters, YouTube and ebook forums 😄
Iphone 6 Plus
Managed to get this new iPhone 6 Plus running for writing purposes!
(justification? What?)
Though at the moment it feels like I’m using it nor for ogling cool things on social media . . .
Anyways, turns out that downloading the Dropbox app, and the PlainText app (both free) I can proof and change my story on Dropbox 😉
So what’s with this choice stuff?
You can create interactive fiction using a number of tools. One of the best is ‘choicescript’.
You can make interactive fiction easily too. If you want to try it out go to:
https://www.choiceofgames.com/make-your-own-games/choicescript-intro/
It’s easy to pick up and there’s plenty of help to be had on the wiki and the forum.
Zzzz.
Dang. .
I just fell asleep on my computer
not a good sign if I’m sending myself to sleep ; )
4 days to knock these chapters into fighting shape
I should have a good run at proofing the 8th chapter today. If only I could run it through a training montage. I’d be done by now!
