See! There’s always a second one. This is an example of what I’m doing: Using a small image as the intra-chapter break. The question is: Do I have the same background problem? That’s from the PC Kindle Reader (which gets worse with every release). I have the theme set to Sepia. It’s obvious the backgroundContinue reading “Intra-Chapter Breaks 2”

Drawing a Line
But where? The problem with non-standard fonts is that the data must be put somewhere. What’s the data? Who knows? That could be a rendered bitmap or the entire font. Where is somewhere? Who knows? That could be embedded in the book itself or it could be a reference to AWS data, which makes theContinue reading “Drawing a Line”
Learning 2 Write – XIII
Explicit Time I’ve already decided that chapters are going to be my unit of story/plot/logical time. My goal is to have each chapter be approximately the same page count, which is right now about six 8.5×11 pages, and cover approximately the same amount of story/plot, which is right now about one level. It’s nothing asContinue reading “Learning 2 Write – XIII”
Learning 2 Write – XII
Scope Continuing the post on Endings – the irony of which does not escape me – I had a thought: It’s not (usually) that I get tired of a series, it’s that the series changes out from under me. Many stories (not just LitRPG) start with the struggles of our intrepid hero. As he overcomesContinue reading “Learning 2 Write – XII”
Learning 2 Write – X
Endings I just finished Ithria Book 15. It ended as I feared: Cliff-hanger. Sort-of. There’s enough said that there is no doubt whatsoever about what will happen (the bad guys are going to get their ass severely kicked), but the actual happening will be in book 16. This is more a case of “the lastContinue reading “Learning 2 Write – X”
Learning 2 Write – IX
Paragraphs Already at nine? I see VIII, but I don’t see VII. Anyway… I’m reading Book V of Matter Destructor. It has very (very, very) short paragraphs. For example: When Hunter said it, the noise didn’t just dip. It died. Like someone had cut a cord. Heads snapped toward him in a wave, and forContinue reading “Learning 2 Write – IX”

Continuous Chapter Numbers I found one: The Matter Destructor. I just downloaded books three and four. I’ve read book three, but I don’t remember any details, so I wanted to re-read it before reading book four. The book opened on Chapter 62. It’s nice that Amazon remembers my place – especially when it doesn’t tellContinue reading “Learning 2 Write”
Learning 2 Write
I didn’t give this one a number because it is more of a book review. I wouldn’t be this harsh on Amazon, but the odds of anyone finding it here are low. The book is Induction: A Litrpg Apocalypse (Welcome to the Multiverse Book 1). It’s obviously the first in a series. I’m about halfwayContinue reading “Learning 2 Write”
Learning 2 Write – VI
Pacing I had a miniphany that I want to get down. “Do you have your pack?” I swung it off my back and held it up in answer. I had gotten into the habit of grabbing it whenever things got busy since I’d gotten here. “I” is the latest intrepid hero. This takes place inContinue reading “Learning 2 Write – VI”
Learning 2 Write – VIII
Repercussions This is a short one. A note to myself more than anything. I just ran across this: [He] knew from his limited reading on the subject that because of their longevity elves had built a society with a massive emphasis on conflict resolution. Something that made sense when he thought about it. For whenContinue reading “Learning 2 Write – VIII”
