      Oh, did you not see the thing about Notion I posted above?

      Notion is a notetaking software I would like to use for the planning team as it has some useful features in it. This will allow us to assign tasks to each other, share our work, and check the progress with each other. It’s more convenient than email in that way. Is that fine with you? I posted the link to it above.

        It’s 50/50 if I get notifs. Today they are working.

         

        is it something I have top download, because my laptop tends to crash and burn when I try to download apps.

        And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who couldn't hear the music

          Yup…

          Uh oh…

          Well, it can run in a browser as well. So you can try that, and no download will be necessary.

                I don’t think so. I just have your proton email. Can you send it to me please, either using the Google doc or with your other email address?

                  Just checking, did you both see the thing about Notion and the place to share the email address you use to sign up so that I can add you to the project?

                    The links were posted earlier in this forum.

                        Thank you! I have added you to the Notion workspace! Please look through the pages I have on there.

                          Sorry, I forgot too. Just surviving Midterms over here. I’ll look into it…

                          Edit: requested access with the wrong email, actually. I’ll request access again later this morning after I make sure the notion app is working.

                              @ellette-giselle @loopylin @whalekeeper @elishavet-pidyon @esther-c (Realized I was confusing the last two of you as one person. Oops! Too many names starting with ‘E’. Esther, did you see the thing about Notion for people who are interested in helping to get this website started/moderating)

                              I wanted to let you guys know about a girl named Eva who reached out to me using the forum I had made to get contact info from you guys who are interested in helping out. Mistaking her for one of you guys (again, all these ‘E’ names are confusing me), I added her, then she sent me this message (yes, I did get her permission to share this):

                              Hey,

                              I hope this isn’t too random! I’m Éva, and I’ve been trying to join Kingdom Pen for a while now, but the sign-up wasn’t working for me. I saw the forum thread about the new site and sent a request to join the Google Doc since I was having trouble accessing the new platform directly.

                              Thank you so much for adding me!

                              I wasn’t exactly trying to become a creator—especially since I wasn’t officially part of KP to begin with—but I’d love to help however I can. I do have experience with digital design 😉 and I’m really excited about the new site and what you’re building.

                              No pressure at all if you’ve already got things covered, I just wanted to reach out, say thanks, and let you know I’m happy to contribute if there’s a spot for me.

                              Thanks again for your help!

                              Éva

                              I told her I wasn’t quite sure about letting her help at the moment, but I was glad that she reached out. Maybe once we get to know her a little, I will allow her to help.

                              I find this motivating to get this new site going, because this is a reminder that there are people out there who want to join, and don’t have many ways of connecting with other Christian authors. (Unlike my sister, who can at least go through me.)

                              Another interesting thing to note. Are you familiar with Brett Harris? He, along with his twin brother Alex, is the author of Do Hard Things. He’s currently running a fellowship for Christian authors callled, Next C. S. Lewis. Are any of you attending that? Anyway, he sent out an email to everyone attending this listing his top resources for Christian authors, and Kingdom Pen was one of them! I wounder if this is how Eva found out about us. The fact is, that we may have many young authors trying to join, but can’t.

                              Here’s my question for you. Eva, my sister, and many others can’t join this community, and it will be some time before there is a new site they can join. So what are some ways we can include these people in the meantime?

                                I know, there are a tone of people that I’m actually in contact with who are trying to join kp. We do need to get a new site up I think.

                                  Ok, sorry to add to the confusion, as I did not get Notion figured out yesterday. I will try again today. Mostly it’s getting the free time to sit and open stuff up.

                                  Éva’s story is definitely an impetus. I hope we can open Kingdom Pen back up for others, even if it’s by proxy/substitute by making this other website.

                                  I am a part of The Next C. S. Lewis Foundation, actually, lol. I wonder if Brett and the others know about the issues going on here. I know someone was going to contact Josiah DeGraff, but I don’t know if that went anywhere. Hmm. *gets lost in thought*

                                  Anyway, yes! This makes me more excited to get the branch off community together.
