@AuthorSamKnight's #writingtips: Don't forget to remember that you forgot to remember last time you told yourself not to forget to remember. Remember this advice next time someone gives you advice. Use it as a measuring stick of value to consider that advice before following it.

@AuthorSamKnight's #writingtips: For initial sales, the opening of your story is the hook. For future sales, the rest of the story, and more specifically the way you end the story, has more to do with whether someone will ever read something else from you. Don't short the ending.

We have the pre-order store up for The Complete Saga of Seven Suns. If you missed the campaign and want to preorder some of the books before we send in the print order, go grab them now before we shut the store down! the-complete-saga-of-seven-s…

My best crowdfunding campaign ever! The Complete Saga of Seven Suns exceeded my wildest expectations. Heartfelt thanks to all 1521 supporters. Now for the complicated part—organizing and fulfilling it all.

@AuthorSamKnight's #writingtips: The internet is a great place to air dirty laundry but you need to think thrice before flinging your opinions. They are boomerangs and they will come back at you whether you are correct or not. And rarely is there a correct and not, just opinions.

@AuthorSamKnight's #writingtips: A big part of writing, like in life, is doing what you say you will. People don't often notice when you meet expectations, but they notice when you don't. If someone is looking for help, they don't pick people they think won't follow through.

Good morning.
Last day of the Kickstarter campaign.
If you haven't yet, check out the project page.
I talk about the books and the launch party. We have pictures of the various kinds of excellent swag we have available: maps, caps, mugs, patches, shirts, and more.
We have cool intangible things: you can get written into the books, or drawn in as an illustration.
15 hours to go.

COUNTDOWN: TWENTY-FOUR HOURS TO GO
I don't know if you've noticed, but I've been running a Kickstarter campaign. Turns out, it's been successful; we funded right away, and have continued to accumulate pledges steadily for the month since. As of now, we're over $63,000.
The purpose of Kickstarter campaign was to put my epic American fantasy trilogy The Witchy War back into print in a new hardback edition, and also to launch a new publishing company, Hapax Press.
Twenty-four hours from now, it ends.
I will livestream the last four hours on YouTube, starting at 8 pm eastern / 6 pm mountain. I'll have on the first squad of Hapax Press writers to talk about the Kickstarter, Hapax, their books, and more, and to take questions from the audience.
Here is the link to tomorrow night's livestream:

@AuthorSamKnight's #writingtips: You don't have to beleive in yourself to be an author. Not many of us do. But you do have to write, or there isn't anything to (make)beleive in other than your potential.

Tonight we start the 48-hour countdown to the end of the Kickstarter campaign.

$500 more and we hit the interior illustrations stretch goal.
Now is a great time to check out the campaign and consider backing it.

So. Anthropic stole my books. Then it got caught. It didn't say sorry. It was ordered to pay for what it stole. Then it said, well, the writers have to tell us what we stole. – at McKenna, WA

COUNTDOWN: DAY SEVEN
The Witchy War Kickstarter campaign ends Thursday at midnight, eastern time. We'll close out with a livestream on which I'll introduce you to more authors and talk about our plans for Hapax Press.
Later today, I'll be posting about the launch event in the spring.
In the meantime, if you haven't looked at the project page, now's a good time. You can see the stretch goals we've unlocked, learn about the books, and consider ordering your own copies today:

At this very moment, my biggest focus is avoiding being scammed by bots designed to exploit the marketing insecurities of writers.

@AuthorSamKnight's #writingtips: Some people refuse to read a book with a prologue. I get it. Some books with prologues probably shouldn't have them, and no one wants a history lesson first. But don't let that stop you. If you need one, you need one. But if you need a prequel...
Sam Knight retweeted
In sum, "Instinct: An Animal Rescuers Anthology" was a great anthology. Definitely worth the time I spent reading it.

@AuthorSamKnight's #writingtips: One of the first things I did was try to figure out how many lines per page and words per line. Yes I feel dumb now. But I didn't know I didn't need to know. My point is, whatever it is that made you feel dumb is okay. You're learning. Keep going.

@AuthorSamKnight's #writingtips: Create a Search and Destroy list to keep next to your computer. Put things on it that you know you overdo but don't want to. Like -ly words, sighed, chuckled, smirked, just, and the em-dash. When editing, go down the list to check or remove them.
