Thirty Chapters of Inspiration

http://lilyauthor.tumblr.com/

I'm posting the inspirations I've used per chapter for my psychological thriller manuscript as a promotional thing, while I wait to hear back from people in publishing. Images, quotes, video, and audio. I'm up to chapter 5, and aim to post about 2 chapters per day.

Clever idea, Lily. Well done.

Many thanks! It still makes me a tad nervous, but I'm forging ahead lol

Just thought I'd share the following: I have NO idea what I'm going to be checking out. I'm fairly intelligent but I try to keep my mind open so I can really see & maybe understand (but, art is subjective...) but at the very least you don't have to battle thru any mental blocks (none due to this anyway!). Here I go...

*waits*

Can't wait to check this out....

I hope you enjoy it :) It might be closer to an acid trip than a promo, fair warning...

Hey, I'll try anything... once :)

Official book trailer for my upcoming thriller, Elixir:

Welcome, Ted. Thanks for sharing your trailer, good job! Feel free to post it under the genre category as well.

Oak

Thanks Oak. I added it under the YA category.

forgot I had posted here. Update, I finished the thirty chapters of inspiration. It was a lot of fun and I'll definitely do it again. (No puns, Donna).

FUNSUCKER!

Hahahahahahaha....

Hey Lily...so the link above is for said chapters?

Sorry disregard...Already knew this. Hope to read soon :)

All thirty of them, it'ss the whole book in fast motion, with soundtrack!

Too late lol

Nice!

*sticking tongue out*
:D

Thanks! I had the best time. I would recommend this for any author.

Will jump on it when done with John's book :)

It's not really reading a whole book, you know. Just the various inspirations I used, music, videos, images, etc. You could probably use it as wallpaper lol

Aahhh I see. Was going to ask how it differs from Eden Fell.

Hey...took a quick peek (a quickie;)
Looks awesome! My Internet is being mentally challenged and couldn't see all of it. Will try again tomorrow.

Thanks, yeah it's completely different from Eden Fell lol

Indeed Lily :)

It's nice to know that book trailers do work. I had this book review on Amazon and the reader mentioned viewing my trailers on Youtube and how they led to the book purchase: Thoroughly enjoyed this book cover to cover, 2 May, 2014
I've had some readers email me directly with similar comments, so keep those trailers coming, they do work.

Hi Martin, I've created a Children's Book section, if you would like to post your book there, otherwise it may get lost in this thread.

Thanks for sharing!

Many thanks Oak,
Where do I find this section?

Martin

Hey Martin...there's a thread titled Children's Books where you can post your trailer. You have but to scroll down group home page to find it :)

Create a new post, and when you select the 'folder' Children's Books will be an option. If you have any issues, I can post it for you, but it's better you do, so viewers can reply and communicate with you directly.

Let me know...

Martin Wills

Many thanks again Oak and Donna...all done now

Best regards
Martin

Hi Sarah. Welcome aboard. You should post this on the proper thread as well. If you don't see one let me know. I think we have all genres covered. Thanks for sharing.

Good to meet you, Sarah. Thanks for sharing.

New to the group and excited to share. Please let me know what you think of the trailer. My memoir, The House on Sunset, will be released later this month. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXI96...

Hi again, Sarafina, feel free to post your trailer under the genre specific folder to geet some more views.

I am trying to post a new discussion about my new book trailer but after I preview my new discussion, the group won't let me post because it says the body of my post must be at least one character in length. But I wrote a whole description of the trailer in the body?!?! Can anyone help me figure out what more I need to add so the post will show my trailer? Thanks!!

Carrie sorry to hear. Not sure why it's not letting you post. I'll look into it. Maybe Oak can try to figure it out too.

Odd. If you still have an issue, please forward the verbiage to me in a private message and I'll post it for you :)

I thought I would post a link to my book trailer. (Okay, it's really a link to my website that has the book trailer on the home page.) Please, feel free to comment on how you like it - or don't like it.

Thanks.

Hi Randy...you should post this on a thread for this genre. If you're not sure or can't find one let me know.

I could use some help. My story is speculative fiction, but not really Science Fiction. What category do you suggest?

Hey, Oak. I figured it out after posting here. Thanks for the suggestion. :)
