BGOL Artists, I need your help for a book cover (Porn Inside)

[daTiger]

It says the name is taken. Is it worth it to pay the $70 to attempt to get it or the OR should I just register THENAUGHTYNURSECHRONICLES.COM and call it a day and save the money

Adding THE may be cheaper, but you know how stupid people are, I'm sure I'm going to have to waste some time on saying THE when people aren't smart enough

The one company says a $10 backorder service (see below)

If not, we can help you get it with our domain backorder service for only $10.00.

We'll negotiate for you anonymously with whoever currently owns the domain.If the owner of the domain isn't ready to sell yet, we will watch it every day to see when it becomes available.If the owner doesn't renew, we'll get it for you before it becomes available to the general public.

I would wan't the actual book title domain myself. I would probably go ahead and buy THE as well. It's worth it for the small amount of money it takes to own them. Your book could become a best seller, so you would want to own all platforms.

edit: I misunderstood, I thought they would sell the domain to you for the $69.99. My bad, I see that is the broker fee for working for you to try to get it. I would still look into it. I wouldn't think there's a lot of competition out to buy that domain.

It gets like that sometimes, Bro. Also, it's good to step away from the work, then come back to it. That way, you can see it with a different mindset.

I'm looking forward to seeing what comes from your hard work. You got this, Bruh.

Thanks, slick. I am pondering making a couple changes, some old school references

Remember is a story about a female nurse manager

"He moaned, and I opened my mouth just in time for the third and fourth blasts to score direct hits and sink my battleship"

"Thoughts of Brian invaded my mind like the Marines storming the beach at Normandy"

Are those references too antiquated, and should I consider changing them?

There is also a reference to baseball:

Like a baseball pitcher taking a sign from the catcher, I shook her off. Not yet, baby. Please just a little while longer."

"Felix ran hard to third base, his mouth leaving my neck making a beeline to the love below

"A stand-up triple when he could have run the bases and I would not have resisted, nor regretted it"

(In sexual terms, 3rd base is known for oral sex and homerun symbolizes going all the way or full sex)

But the target audience is women and those are clearly male friendly, quasi universal terms.

Should I change it?

Keep us posted! I'll be among the first to buy the finished product!

Unfortunately, you have to keep your audience's intelligence level in mind. You have to know who you're writing to.

You have to ask yourself:
1) Are they educated?
2) Will they understand the historical contexts you have written on the page?
3) What are the cultural biases they may have?

For me, I'd rather an audience step their mental game up, and catch up to me. Instead of me dumbing down my writings to suit them.

You won't capture everyone. But the good thing is, you don't have to.

I hope that my writing will be like Archer. If you've seen the series, they have some references that honestly you have to look up.

I used some words, sardonically (mockingly) baleful (threatening harm; menacing.
"Bill shot a baleful glance in her direction")
ignominious (deserving or causing public disgrace or shame)

For example, but I used context clues for all of them. They are words that I picked up over the years and I didn't necessarily shoehorn them in, but you know as a writer you start pulling words out of your ass sometimes

 

[godofwine]

I'm FINISHED!

Just under 30,000 words, that's about 60 pages and right on par for a novella.

The Naughty Nurse Chronicles Volume I is COMPLETE!

I have to send it to a couple friends I trust to give honest opinions and feedback, but I believe I've covered every angle including triggers and other issues.


Question about references in fiction.

I mentioned, "If it's a lie then we fight on that lie" from S03E12 of The Wire

I also mentioned car brands. Do I need to reference them somewhere at the end of the book?

I don't know the rules when it comes to what needs to be mentioned and what doesn't. However, I am in college and I know they say whenever you use a reference you have to notate it

But I'm DONE!

Congrats bruh!

I think general mentions of trademarked names is fine. It's called "fair use."

Use of Trademark Names in Fiction - DAILY WRITING TIPS

A couple of years ago, a site visitor asked about the necessity of obtaining permission to refer to trademarked products by name in fiction. Here’s the

The Wire reference, I'm not sure of. May want to consult an attorney on that or maybe someone on here will know more.

I'm so psyched, man. I'm going to work on my Hunters short story next, then another one of my erotic pieces that's popular with my friends,

After that, my novel End of a Nightmare. I already have the domain name sewed up. I have an ex special forces technical guy, all I need to do is finish the book. This one is a game changer

Good shit. You on it bruh. Just let us know how we can get ahold of them when you finish.

 

[godofwine]

Okay, back at it. Added a lot more detail including shit that women enjoy like a deluxe bathroom with a steam shower and a completely remodeled kitchen

I'm going to a store tomorrow to look at a steam shower up close so I can add the detail to the story to make it more realistic. After that I'm done and I'm ready to send it to a couple friends then the copy editor hopefully no later than July 10th

Got to do that research

 

[godofwine]

Okay. It's done. It's done, like all the way done.

35,086 words.

I just sent it off to two of my friends who are going to give me a good review and then I'm going to send it to the copy editor hopefully by July 10th.

It's about to be on and popping. I'll let y'all know when it is available

You know it's wild you ask some friends to look over your work before you turn it in, and it's been over a month. I just looked it over myself, added almost a thousand words and I'm about to turn it into the copy editor by the end of this week.

35,945.

Tightened up a few points, some misspellings caught. I think it's real good. I can't wait for its release. I'm really impressed by it.

Even though it is an erotic fiction story, I believe it tells really well.

I got to find more information on self-publishing over the next couple months because that's going to be next on the docket. Getting this out to as many people as possible

 

[godofwine]

Okay, I sent my novel to the copy editor this past Saturday and paid her half of the fee. What is the next step? Does anyone know? I now have to self publish, but I don't know how to get that done. She said 4 to 6 weeks

I'm here for any kind of advice you guys can offer

I would go through the above before I gave anybody any more money.

Years ago, I talked, on separate occasions, to two black comic book creators.
One had successfully published a book on his own. The other was in the process of getting
his book to print. Both were extremely intense when talking about their respective projects,
and both were clearly very serious people.

I recall the one who had published (and by the way, I DESPISE American, superhero style comics. But I digress...)
previously said "I spent so much money...I wish I was spending someone else's money..."). He did, however, get
the job done, and I recall several pieces about him in local papers on occasion.

All that being said, I would seek out a free help clinic for entrepreneurs. They exist, I ate a magic brownie a while ago,
and it's kicking in, so I am not about to google it. I would get as much advice as I could, if possible, from people who have
DONE WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO.

Any specific directions/suggestions/hopes, etc., from anyone else (including myself) is purely speculation.
Speculation fires you up, and maybe strokes the ego a bit, but, at the end of the day, it ain't gettin' the job done.
You have invested way too much time, effort, and money in your project to leave it subject to the whims of armchair
publishers, many of whom never read a book without being forced to do so, let alone published one.

The fact that you are clearly possessed of an above average intelligence, as well as the motivation to avoid wage slavery,
is the reason I am responding. The educator in me won't quit trying to at least lend a positive word to someone who is more than fodder for malt liquor salesmen.

I don't participate in the forum much here lately, and just took a peek. I saw this in the new post alerts.

Good luck to you man. But there is absolutely NO experience like experience. That is why I suggest talking to
someone with experience.

You will do well.

Peace.

Appreciate your help and if you could point me to someone specifically I would greatly appreciate it. We can DM and I'll give you my number. But, I'm trying to get this done without going over the top and spending my own money when I don't have to.

I'm just now getting to the point where my head is above water financially and I'm not trying to go down so I have to take another breath or two.

Though I am good creatively, when it's something I don't understand it's easy for me to be led like the cat with the laser pointer, and then I'm lost.
