Author, father, retro-gamer, occasional funny person. I try to make words good. Sometimes they're even, dare I say it, entertaining words.

Ah, Noted. Apologies. I was worried you were getting scammed by getting charged for something you were entitled to, and jumped the gun.
The barcode has always been part of the cover template for me, so i didn't think about it needing to be a separate thing.

I'm pretty sure you don't have to pay anything. I've been getting my ISBNs from the government library service directly.

Idk your full situation, but aside from the time it took to have my account approved, I've had no issues.

Not for this one. It's a bit too new. Visual design is actually one of my weak points. It's only around the third draft I start to get a clearer picture of how they look. Like, the main character has a bowl cut, and that's as far as I've gotten.

A bit of both actually. I have an outline with the major plot points that I try to follow. It's all there being to end, but almost always, part way through, my brain does a 'Hey, Y'know what would be cool?' , and i need to throw the rest of the outline out.

The whole idea kind of spawned from a random stray thought of a young child talking like Dr.Doom, and spun out from there. Don't have much for them beyond that yet, but that's the fun of a first draft. You sort of start writing, and the characters let you know who they are as you go on.

A new sci-fi novel. Some silly time travel shenanigans with a failed supervillain, sent back to his child body in the past, trying to live a normal life when his former minions find him to pull him into a plot he wants nothing to do with.
Honestly just happy to get words on paper.
