@dekreel your pictures remind me of a “series” I did when I was about seven or eight. It was like a cartoon, where I drew stick figures and those little dialogue bubbles for when they talked… 😛

My first story was called “The Hotel That Burned Down.” I was six, and my…[Read more]

How have your stories been coming along?

I personally haven’t started a freelance editing business yet, but I’m really hoping to in the future! Right now I’m practicing by critiquing other peoples’ manuscripts for free and taking some courses through The Pen Institute.

@jane-maree recently started her business, so I’d bet she…[Read more]

I guess one other way to get more “likes” on your page is to invite people to “like” it. That’s what I did when I first launched my author page. Beyond that…I’m still pretty clueless on FB 😛

1. Ditto to what Josiah said — I’d love to follow you on there 😀

2. I don’t really have much experience with FB, to be honest 😛 I connect with most of my readers via Instagram and Twitter. I occasionally do an FB post, but mainly because that’s what everyone else does. *hides* I think @jane-maree and @winter-rose will have…[Read more]

I think it’s still fine to have…[Read more]

Sure! These two are the best: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-switch-from-blogger-to-wordpress-without-losing-google-rankings/ and https://www.labnol.org/internet/switch-from-blogger-to-wordpress/9707/

I’m pretty sure Wordpress.com has a tutorial on their site as well, but for some reason I never thought of using it 😛

As…[Read more]

I have to go right now, but if you think you’re going to do it and have any questions, feel free to public message me 😀

@dekreel bye!

@catwing I moved from Blogger to Wordpress about six months ago. I think it was the best blogging decision I ever made! 🙂

@catwing Hey-o! *waves*

@clairec this sounds like a really exciting opportunity! My main bit of advice is to be honest: write from your heart. People can connect with your posts much easier when you’re being honest with them and writing what you love. Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable. I’ve noticed that with Christian-themed…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper “When theme is executed poorly…” That’s classic XD

YAY!!! *throws confetti* 😀 Congrats on all those words!!!

I know. It’s a silly law. I really wish I knew a way around it 😛

I’m subscribed to a ton of author newsletters who use Mailchimp, and though I can see the addresses, I typically have no clue where they are beyond the state. I guess someone could look it up, but you can also keep track of…[Read more]

So…I’d say step away for a little bit if you can. Go do something else creative that you love, like music or drawing. Or just sit…[Read more]

I usually let my draft sit for several weeks or months once I’m done (it seems you’ve already done that). Then I go and read through it, not making any changes, but marking things that I want to change. I do this with the comments section in Word or just write a list.

Depending on how…[Read more]

First, congrats on being almost ready to publish! That’s awesome 😀

I’ve had a blog for a little over a year now. What was surprising was how difficult it was to actually get people to read and comment on my blog. I had to go around and comment on other peoples’ posts and leave a link to mine. I learned that you have to foster…[Read more]

1. Go to Mailchimp.com There are other email services to use, but I’d recommend that one. NOTE: they will ask for your address. It’s law for them to do this. My family has a PO Box, so it’s no big deal, but if you’re uncomfortable using…[Read more]

That’s a really good question! I think your blog will be a huge help with that. If you don’t have access to social media to help grow it, I’d suggest doing just what you’ve been doing — going around and commenting on blogs, leaving a link to yours in the comments. If you really engage with other bloggers, you’ll get more…[Read more]

ahhh, what am I saying? CONGRATS ON THIS. *promptly goes to stalk it*

And yes, I believe he does 😀 I think he’s taken sparring classes before. I know that a while back he wrote a really, really good article on writing realistic sword-fighting.

This might be totally wild and not right, but what about a Kapeefer civil war? Like, one side isn’t necessarily “bad;” it would be more like a capture the flag sort of thing. Like they’re competing for something…maybe to see who will get special sword-fighting lessons from King Daeus? 😉

Oh, I’m sorry! That can be frustrating 😛 Hm…what was the original premise/plot that you had?
