ElTerprise: Good evening everyone *hugs and waves* :)

ddickinson: I am really hating the site tonight. I just lost a big post I wrote to Fearful, and I keep getting frozen pages, infinite loading bars, and many other errors.

I think I will call it a night on here, I will just go enjoy a nice book. Hopefully the site will be working better for me tomorrow.

Goodnight!

*goodnight hugs and waves*

I had a longer message, but the site consumed it :-(. So here is the brief version.

You could still have a website for a single novel, promoted as your debut novel, then you add more as you write them. You would need to decide whether you would publish your books under a company name, or your own name (or pseudo name). Many smaller authors use their name, as it adds a more personal connection between the reader and the author. But you have time to consider all these things.

I would really like to hear more about your novel and publishing and things, as I am very interested. Perhaps when the site is working for me we can have a better conversation about it all.

I hope you have a good night and enjoy what is left of your evening.

*big goodnight hug*

FearfulSymmetry: Hey! Good evening to you as well! *hug*

ElTerprise: Hej! *returns hug* haven't had the time to catch up in the thread yet...did you achieve your words goal on your thesis?

FearfulSymmetry: Yep, and finished my chapter, so it was a good day's work. :) I'm kind of exhausted now, though. :P How was your day?

ElTerprise: Yay - getting the GOGbear again :)

That's good :).Understandable that you're feeling exhausted now :P

My day was good. Had a nice evening with my family playing some board games :).

FearfulSymmetry: Theodore's better than the 500, at least. :P

Board games are fun! Nice to hear you had a good evening. What did you play?

ElTerprise: Definitely. We played some Carcassonne and Phase 10 (hmm...not a board game but a card game:P)...

FearfulSymmetry: Don't know any of those, but I assume you had a good time. :)

Well, I think I'll be off to bed as well. *hugs and waves*

ElTerprise: Yeah. I had a really good time :).

*good night hug* Good night and sleep well :)

FearfulSymmetry: Good night! I hope you'll sleep well too. :)

BillyMaysFan59: OK, my GOG Star Wars games backup is going faster than I thought. I was able to use a higher speed connection today. (visiting with family at a relatives' house.... Mother's Day celebration and all ;)

Downloaded Empire At War and Battlefront II, which totals to 10+ GB. Took a little while, but it went a lot faster compared to how long it would have taken on my DSL connection. That was most of what I plan to download too. Now I only have, say, 4+ GB worth left to download. That can be done over the next few days.

Anyways, enough of my ramblings. Happy Mother's Day to all mothers here, and hope everyone's having a good day/evening. ;)

CarrionCrow: -laughs- I did all my downloading on the DSL connection I have here. Half a megabyte a second if I'm lucky and don't run anything else that uses bandwidth, otherwise it drops to roughly 350 kilobytes a second.
Prime reason why I'm not jumping into the idea of downloading my stuff again now that most of the installers have the bits needed to work with Galaxy. It'd take a frigging month solid to do it all.

Looking forward to running through Empire at War. Did an Empire run a while back with a relative's retail copy, then it showed up here, so now I can see what the expansion pack criminal run is like.
