You're sinsational
Angelbreeze-
Hey! Do you take cover requests ?

Hello Nkem. I love your retelling of Bible stories and the different perspectives you highlight. I was wondering: have you ever thought of writing a historical romance focusing on some of the love stories in the Bible?
I would love to work with you on that!
Precious_Nkem
@fizzy78 Hi! I'm glad you loved reading my stories. And I'm sooooo flattered that you wish to work with me on a story. Thank you. ❤ Unfortunately, I favour a solitary writing process. Also, I find writing stories with romance as a main plot very mentally exhausting. First, it's fun, but my enthusiasm quickly fades halfway in. It's one of my biggest writing weaknesses.

I’m curious about your name. Are you Nigerian?
Precious_Nkem
@wandaislostagain That's awesome. All the best in your writing. And thanks. Glad you love my prose.

Awesome. I’m East African myself and also writing some a Biblical mythology story, although I take a slightly different perspective. I love your prose!

A little confession: Sometimes, when the stakes get too high in a novel, comic or series, I chicken out.
Thankfully, this doesn't happen all the time, but there are always stories in my library that stare at me in judgment because I haven't grown the liver to continue reading. [Does this happen to you?]
This leaves me wondering about my writing. Do I subconsciously write low stakes because too-high stakes make me DNF?
Oh well. A new chapter of The Sixth Life of Medusa is up. I will have a new chapter of Worst Cupid Ever on Monday. Sowi that I skipped last week.

@uzomahchel I've been hanging from some stories now. If it seems like I can't take what's about to happen, I flee. Or wait for a whiiiiiiiiiile before returning to the story/series... like a coward. Smh.
Precious_Nkem
@PennyPapers You understand me. These stories be giving me high blood pressure. I can't.

@Precious_Nkem I do this too. I took a break from Code Geass (anime) and The Rose Code (book) because I could tell they were about to get tragic and needed to step back a bit emotionally. I'm still on a break from Sword at Sunset (book) and another anime for the same reason.

What's the first thing that sells a story to you? The title, cover or blurb?
Me? The blurb.
Ironically, writing blurbs is my biggest nemesis. (┬┬﹏┬┬)
Anyhoo, the latest chapter of The Sixth Life of Medusa is out.

@Precious_nkem Everything you said is true. Blindsided by covers is a big issue( ･ั﹏･ั) The writing thing hurts my soul each time!

@Precious_Nkem you do have a point. There's a lot of that kind of surprise on Wattpad; covers do not always match the books. You might just be blown away by the actual work. But I think in the "real world" editors do their best to make the cover worth the story so it's a good shot to judge a book by the cover. This is just my experience speaking XD
Precious_Nkem
@totallySpiced yeah... there are some covers I come across that have me staring in awe. Whenever that happens, I'm likely to read the story.
Precious_Nkem
I never EVER get used to publishing a story for the first time--always get this queasy feeling. Does this happen to you too?
Anyhoo, just published a brand new story: The Sixth Life of Medusa.
Greek mythology mixed with the reincarnation trope.
I started writing the story to entertain myself and as more inspiration came, I decided to brush it up and share it with my readers, cause why not?
