So, a bunch of the advice I’m reading says I need to start building up my author platform now, well before the book is ready for publication. But first, I have to settle on a pen name! I really like the name Felicity, and I want to pair it with Coleman or Colson or Collins. What do you guys think?

Greetings!
          Although I've only posted about half of my chapters for my new book (The Darkest Blue), I'm much closer to finishing the second draft. As such, I'm starting to look for detailed criticisms so I can ready my novel for publishing. My target audience would be young adult women, but I would like feedback from anybody and everybody if I can. If anyone is interested, please let me know if you are interested in becoming a beta reader.

Hey, people. The insomnia is on tonight. Partially my fault anyway. I was working on my novel earlier (at a reasonable time) when I realized, “Hey, even if this never gets published, even if no one ever reads it, you are living your dream. Every moment you spend writing, revising, editing, you are living your dream. Your dream isn’t to be a famous author. You want to be a famous author so that you can make it your full time job and do it all the time. But right now, you are living your dream.” So many people have grand dreams, but don’t follow them. They’re too busy and think that maybe later they’ll achieve their goals, but I’m doing it. Thank you to whoever reads my status or my book. Thank you for being amazing, giving me validation on my dream. I’ll be honest, I would still do this without you - I am addicted to story after all - but it does make it so much better to know that my words are read, my voice heard. Thank you so much.
