Scene Analysis #3 - Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

Hey everyone, it's that time again. Another scene analysis. This time, we're doing Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. I wanted to do Terry Pratchett, but this scene actually caught me by surprise. I will explain later as we go down the page.

Scene Analysis # 2 - It by Stephen King

Hey there, folks! Here's the 2nd analysis. Today, we are doing IT by Stephen King. The scene I had copied is from Chapter 2, page 17 from my Kindle.

Scene Analysis # 1 - Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson

This is the first entry on a series of posts I'm planning to do. I've been doing some copywork exercises, but all were done on the computer. Recently, I decided to do it by hand. Reason for this is accessibility: I don't have to boot up my computer in the morning and do copywork for 30 minutes. Now, I do my copywork during lunchtime at work. It still takes 30 minutes, including highlighting and a quick scene analysis.

Here are shots on a scene I copied from Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson. This scene occurs in the middle of the book, so if you are reading this series, turn away now lest be spoiled (although nothing too breaking).

May 2018 Update

I have something planned for posting regularly on my Twitter and eventually Instagram. I don't want to reveal it now, but you'll see it eventually in my feeds.

I am finalizing the short stories for the Abandoned series. Currently four are near completion. I want to write two more just to pad the collection, so that may take another month or so.

The second novel is still simmering, but I'm planning to print that baby up this week. I can't wait to mark that up with red ink, commentary, cutting critique and some salty tears.

Compared to other indie authors, I am writing at a very slow pace. I'm okay with that. I am still getting my legs on this industry, and I'm learning as I go (though in a snail's pace).

I've canceled my Kindle Exclusive, and I'm back to distributing my book wide (hey there, click here to get my book!) I didn't like the thought of being stuck with one distributor. Also, I've invested some cash on Amazon ads. I may lose that money, but I'll chalk it up to "tuition fee."
