Xyxyx (and other) updates
R. S. Leergaard:
I have gone ahead and made the revisions. Mostly grammar and spelling errors corrected. Some larger changes include:
Moving my (sort of) disclaimer, the explanatory paragraph and the list of critiquers from when I first had this idea to the beginning of Vol. 1. (The thank yous to the people who've admitted to reading Xyxyx remains at the beginning of Vol. 4 and has expanded by one.)
Last weekend I ask some other KDP authors for their opinions of the book cover. Several said it was too dark and hard to read. So, the biggest change is that each volume now has its own cover. The layout is the same for all, but each vol. is labeled and has its own background color. They also suggested I change the name of my book, but there is no chance of that. Apparently, they don't like the name of my young, omnipotent being.
No major changes to the stories. I did change the name of the paradise Amos mentions in his made-up story (vol. 1 part 2). It's still a song reference, just a different, and possibly more appropriate, song. Also removed the (Feelin' groovy) references in part 9 and fixed the head-hopping in part 8.
I think that's it. The revisions should go live in a few hours. In the meantime, the old versions will remain available. Thank you. :)
R. S. Leergaard:
I'm pretty sure those of you who already have the stories will get the revised versions the next time you update your Kindle Library. If not, let me know. I have some promotion days available. ;)
shades of grey:
You, sir, are still awesome.
R. S. Leergaard:
Thank you. :D
There won't be any more story changes, though I may still correct typos as I find them. I must have proof-read these things a hundred times, but I still find typos whenever I re-read them. :o But this was always an experiment right from the start.
I wondered if an author could get away with talking directly to the readers in the middle of a description. It may be distracting, and maybe even annoying to the reader, but it sure is fun for me. 8)
