Well, congratulations, you found my profile. Since you're here, read this! 

My name is Daniel, I'm twenty five, and I love to write. My books, which you see below, are hopefully going to be published sometime soon, if I get my a** into gear and start editing. I am very proud of my second piece, titled Born Of Fire, which spent six months at the number one spots in both Fantasy and Action categories. I owe all of my Wattpad fame to Jolyn Palliata and HunnyBee, thanks to them both.


Ghost Skills, which you see below, was my first story, and is completed. If you're going to read it, read the final version please. It's still pretty raw, even after five edits, and in desperate need of another.

Edge Of Justice is book two of Ghost Skills, and I'm still writing it.

Born Of Fire, is completed, and currently undergoing edits.

Descent Into Darkness is number two in the Born Of Fire series, and is my top priority, but, I can barely wrench an hour to write anymore, which sucks.

Shadow is slow going, but I will finish it!


Please read, vote and comment, and fan if you like.


Favorite Quote: To the actor who portrays a single character, I portray ten.

To the architect who designs a building, I construct entire cities.

To the cynic who believes in perpetual selfishness, I propagate love.

To the tyrant who oppresses a nation, I forge the revolution.

I, am a writer.

Second favorite quote: People who write fiction for a living are basically insane.
 
We tell lies that you will believe.

We create worlds you'll get lost in.

We steal your time and stories. 

We can make you fall in love with a person that does not exist. 

It's a powerful gift.


Third Favorite Quote: "When you notice an insect on the ground, do you stop to consider it a fool?

 The life of an insect is so beneath you that it would be a waste of your time to even consider judging it. 

That would be an accurate description of my feelings towards you.

@Somerlea Lol, fine. You, my dear, are a dork. Not to worry though, I have been accused of the same.

Don't think I am a dork....(okay, you can think it) But I just replied to one of YOUR readers who said they couldn't wait for the next chapter of your book. DORK ALERT!!!!  I'm kinda roaming around at this point looking at messages, and I clicked to see your message to me without looking to see where I was. A totally honest mistake, really. I didn't mean to steal your thunder. LMFAO

Like I said...you are amazing! I really appreciate the opportunity to learn from the best author on Wattpad, in my opinion. Oh, and I just figured out how to use all the buttons and things on this site. So when I first started talking to you a few weeks back, I didn't know anything about the "like" button, or the "vote" button. And I didn't know anything about how to dedicate a chapter to someone whom we find is helpful. Now I do, and I will be sure to spread the love. lol

@Somerlea Posting a completed book is fine, by most publishers standpoints, as long as you're willing to remove it from the site at their request.

When it comes down to the question of laying low or gaining as many fans as possible, I would say go with the fans. If and when your work is published, you, by that point, already have a dedicated fan base that would be willing to buy your book and help spread the word.

I'll send you  private message detailing another few things that you can try.

I wondered if I could get your thoughts on whether or not posting a completed story on Wattpad helps us or hurts us when we are looking to get published. I know you are getting close to being a  published author, so I was just curious. May I ask what methods you are pursuing in order to make your dreams of seeing your book in print come true? For example, are you interested in obtaining a Literary Agent, or are you waiting to be discovered on Wattpad by a Publisher? I'm trying to determine if it's better for me to fly under the radar on Wattpad with a story worthy of being published, or whether I want to concentrate on marketing on this site to gain readers to prove I am worthy of being published. So many choices, so little time!
Thank you in advance for your help,
Somerlea
