RE: Character Arcs: Subtle Yet Essential
Thank you for your post. I am in the process of writing a memoir about an unforgettable online dating experience and this information will be beneficial for me. Although my characters are real in life, your post helps me understand how critical it is to portray their personalities and transformations throughout the book. The title is "A Shoebox House". I created a web site and FB page that I use to post excerpts of my rough draft, including descriptions of my characters. My goal is to publish it in early Spring. I researched when to start promoting new books and the time is now... before it's even done. I love the Steemit posts that have provided the education and support that I need to accomplish my dreams in writing.

If you are making parts of your book available, you want to check out the Ethics in Publishing post on the writers' block account. Allowing too much out fully in public can give limitations when you publish through Amazon. But thank you for the feedback. Happy to have helped. With a full length novel, you will want arcs on more of your characters.
Thank you for the advice. I read the post you referred, and it is helpful. I will reconsider what I post in the future. In the past, I have posted excepts of my rough draft, which contain between 200-500 words. It is likely that I will have edited the draft by the time it is published. The assumption that I am posting for marketing is somewhat correct, but also includes my desire to improve my blogging skills; most of my posts are unrelated to my book. Steemit has been a great resource in all areas and I respect the content of feedback and posts.
