    Don't! Thanks, though.
    But seriously, don't!

    There's a part right near the end where she is wearing a golden dress. I'm finding the image of you in this scene highly amusing.

    I think the three primary characters have existed since I was 19. (14 years ago) but old writing that mentions them is nothing like what exists now. Plenty of beginnings that never went anywhere, but sometimes I took things from them that made it to the end. I'd say six years ago. But plenty of months where it was ignored because I was lazy or disheartened.

    The whole thing in Dark Tower when Roland and Eddie talk to Stephen King.. That had an effect on me : ) I felt like it was a message to all lazy artists of all mediums everywhere!

    I am not buying it because of charity I am genuinely curious and interested and actually my sister's don't like science fiction but my big brother does :)
    We do not agree on whether it is okay to buy things just because you know the person
    If I wrote a book I would hope every person here that could afford it and reads would buy it :) that's what friends are for we support each other

    I didn't say it wasn't okay in principle.
    It's just I feel awkward when I'm the one people are being nice to.
    But yes I would buy any book written by any friend on here, whatever it was about, and thank you to any who do and of course I really appreciate the support. I just feel a bit embarrassed as well as appreciative : )

    I don't even know.. Postage to states might make it more than it's worth. I wanted to list at 8.99 gbp but then Amazon charges 2.80 postage. If I list at 10.00 it is free postage so works cheaper for buyer and I get 60p more per sale. But it makes it Look more expensive and also yeah, overseas, who knows.

    There's something EXTRA annoying about a spammer who posts in several threads in quick succession.

    I just checked the price of a book at 10.00 GBP and assuming tax and currency conversion is all the same, it'll be about $22. USD
