On the Lookout!

Well you guys, you all know how perfect I'm not. Let's face it. I'm full of past-tense errors, semi-colon obsessions, lists, bracket addictions...ellipses...repeated phrases, and like, probably some other stuff. But what better way to take care of these things than by getting some help?

That's right! I'm looking for editors!

Oh. You meant like, educational help? Silly you then.

But yes, editors. I need people working permanently and devotedly! Now now, I know what you're thinking: "How can she possibly expect people to be devoted to something that she takes constant breaks from?" Well, to put it simply: ... Because reasons.

No seriously, I know that I'm a mess. But not only will having editors make me more motivated to work, but you'll also get more updates! ..I think. Yeah probably.

So if there's anyone out there wiling to deal with this mess, just let me know! You guys know the drill, drop a comment, send an email to inkdreamsnovel@gmail.com, do what you will! I really appreciate any and all help that I can get.

Thanks guys! <3

Wattpad!

So to help spread the word about InkDreams, I started adding the entire novel up to Wattpad.com! I used to have just the first twenty or so pages up.

This means I have some work to do. First I have to separate the novel into sections, so that the different sections appear on new pages like they do in the pdf files. Then I have to scroll through the text in the wattpad text editor and fix EVERYTHING. I mean, nothing shows up the way I want it to. There are all of these spaces added in, my indentations are completely gone (not to mention the text editor uses some weird unidentified system where it'll tab over, but I can't use the tab key on my keyboard so I just have to insert spaces and copy-pasta that crap.) sigh. I only have the one font/font size as well. And you guys know how much I love to use different fonts.

By no means will I be adding the Notes on the Novel onto Wattpad. Right now that is for subscribers only! <3 That, and I'd have to rearrange the sections every time I updated, which is just too much hassle right now.

Please drop by Wattpad and give me your support! My profile page is at http://www.wattpad.com/user/AveilieaBelle, and InkDreams can be found through this: link. (Or you can just go further down on the profile page! It's there under my bio :D)

Thanks you guys for all of the support! I know it's been awhile since I've updated y'all, or sent out an email with the latest. But I can't send out the email until I've written more of the main story line. So far I've just been writing Prom and Halloween. (Yeah yeah, I'm still working on Halloween. I'm aware that October was months ago.)

Life's been busy and a little hectic. I hope everyone's having a marvelous winter break, that finals went well for my college students, and that everyone has a happy and safe holiday! No matter what your religion, please send out some prayers/thoughts to the families affected by the shooting. I didn't want to be a part of the bandwagon originally, but you know, this is important. This is the good bandwagon to get on, the one that brings us all closer together, brings out our humanity, and makes us thankful for everything we still have.

Thanks guys

Pirates, Fairies, and Bullies, Oh My!

That's right guys, PIRATES!!! I really have no idea where they came from, but all of a sudden I found myself writing about them. Exciting stuff they be.

I'm going to send out an email tonight, probably around 12-Midnight with the updated release of the novel! Don't forget to sign up for the subscription list, or send an email to inkdreamsnovel@gmail.com about subscribing, and I'll add you to the list personally. You won't want to miss out on this exciting release!

This new update comes with a bit of the Halloween scene to be added in, a past life where the Trio are Pirates, and the beginning of a new bullying scene with Miss Monika!

I'm sorry this has taken me so long you guys, but I'm finally back in a mindset of constant writing/typing. :D

So life has been a little hard on me lately. I can only imagine that some of you are also having a hard time out there. I'll keep you guys in my prayers if you'll keep me in mine, how's that sound?

Also, I'm thinking of having a Google+ Hangout meeting! Wouldn't that be exciting? It'd be a Q&A session, and I'll answer questions to the best of my ability without spoiling much. I'd really appreciate some feedback from you guys, so maybe I'll ask some questions too. If you're interested, you can comment below, post on our Facebook Page, the NEW GOOGLE+ PAGE, or send an email (look above for email).

To add on to the excitement, I'm trying to make a Spotify playlist for either the individual characters, or for the entire novel. If anyone has suggestions, or wants to submit a playlist, I'd be more than happy to receive it! Maybe there will be a contest....

I hope everyone's doing okay out there! Don't forget to +1 the Google page, "like" the Facebook page, and send an email with your feedback! (Don't forget to subscribe either!! That's kind of important)

Much love to all of my fans out there! You guys are the best!

1111 Views and 100 Likes!!

Now this has to be something special!! I was just telling myself that I'd have to make a new post at 1111 views, and when I go to check how many views I have, that's the number that showed up!

Yup, something mighty special indeed!

I can't thank everyone enough for their attention and support! <3 You have my love and gratitude.


Hopefully everyone in America has been okay during the storms that have been hitting for a couple weeks now. In North Carolina, there have been some pretty rough ones, and I'm thankful that I haven't been hurt, and that my friends are safe and sound. (And my fans too of course!)

Now I need to get to writing... Maybe after I finish the second Game of Thrones book ;D

Gotta tell you guys, Game of Thrones is AWESOME. Sure, it can be a bit smutty (both the books and definitely the HBO series. I mean, c'mon guys, it's HBO. What did you expect?), and the show a tad bloody, but the story line and characters are fantastic! I strongly recommend the books and show both to people 16 and up. Viewer discretion advised and all that finely bolded-print stuff.

Anyway.....

For those of you who are interested in reading InkDreams as I write it, just join the subscription list, or send an email to inkdreamsnovel@gmail.com asking to join the list! I'll set you up as soon as it hits my inbox!

Everyone stay safe and enjoy what's left of your summer!

1000 Views!!

....-explode-

Oh my goodness you guys!! Thank you all so much for your love and support! It really does mean a lot to me to have so many views in such a short time (not to mention all of the Facebook 'likes'!) I never thought that within only a couple months that'd I'd have so many views.

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their summer! I know I am! I haven't gotten a whole lot of writing done since the last email update, but I promise to get back on the ball soon!

For those of you who have yet to receive the email containing the story thus far, either send an email to inkdreamsnovel@gmail.com, comment below with your email, or go to the Subscribe page! If there are errors with sending to the email or using the page, please let me know so I can fix it ASAP!! Don't forget to 'like" the Facebook Page!

Again, thank you so much everyone!

600 Pageviews!!!!

Oh wow you guys! Over the last WEEK I've gotten a hundred views!! I can't say how thankful I am for that.  I know, I know, most of the views are just one-time viewers clicking on my ads. And two hundred of said views have been from Russia. (Only THREE from the US, for those that were wondering.) But still, numbers are numbers, and I'm still grateful.

I promise I'll send out a subscription update this week. I have a lot of typing to do, but as soon as I finish typing up what I've got, I'll send it out! <3

Remember to "like" the Facebook Page, and send an email to inkdreamsnovel@gmail.com to sign up for the Subscription list! (Otherwise you won't be getting a copy of the novel!)

Again, thanks so much everyone!!

-Lindsey

So Many VIews!!

Holy crap you guys! Four-hundred and twenty page views. That's a lot. (To me at least). I'm really liking this advertising! So a huge thanks to Russia for giving me eighty-something views the past couple of weeks! <3 You have my gratitude.

Now, I'm only writing the novel in English (for now. I'd love for it to be popular enough to be translated), and I understand that a good portion of the views are either "oops I clicked this ad" or people just checking out the site. But don't hesitate to send an email to inkdreamsnovel@gmail.com asking about the novel or to join the subscription list! Seriously! I'd love to sign you up! Feel free to check out the Facebook Page too!

That goes for all of the other countries as well! I see you out there Cambodia! <3


Near the end of the week I'll be sending out the next update. I want to write ten more pages or so, type them up, and then send it off.

A huge thanks to all of my viewers and friends out there! I hope everyone is having an excellent summer so far, for those that are already out of school, and that life is well for everyone!
