@Dragon-Snapper That’s WONDERFUL! D’ye get to edit it now, or are you working on something else?
Just so you know, the title Sector One is very cool.

Snapper replied to the topic What to do with a blog/website ? in the forum Publishing & Platform 8 years, 8 months ago
@itisastarrynight So, I had that exact same question just a week ago.
And I started a blog. I had no idea what I was going to write about, but as soon as I started it, I started finding ideas.
To get a general idea of what bloggers blog about, I’d check out a bunch of blogs. There are some good ones on the page of my blog.
For me, I get the…[Read more]

@itisastarrynight Blogs, like social media, serve two potential purposes. 1, To promote yourself/get people on your email list. 2, To interact with readers. Actually, they also serve a third purpose of helping you get used to writing regularly.
If you really want your blog to be a major way you promote yourself, you need to blog about something…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm ehehe… well they better not be, because I’m using them. 😛
No, honestly, I think they are. But then, so is a lot of other stuff. I’m confident using ‘elementals’ in my work because the system, while it does incorporate elements, isn’t just about elements. In fact the element part is probably one of the least important bits.…[Read more]

@gretald, @bluejay, @writefury, @daeus, @hannah-olsen, @mark-kamibaya, @Sarah-H, @kate-flournoy, @emma-flournoy, @dragon-snapper, @michael-stanton, @aratrea
Do you guys think elemental powers (i.e. fire and ice powers) are cliche? And if they are, what are some reasonable alternatives?

@epicaddie2 Definitely! I know what that’s like. I had to fly without my parents last year (I was with my sisters so it wasn’t as bad), but I was a little nervous too. 🙂

I love everything by Sir H. Rider Haggard, Elisabeth Elliot, Douglas Bond, and John J. Horn.
I’ve never heard of those books. What kind of stuff do they write?

@Northerner Was that poem published on here recently called The Human Mind by your sister, or by a totally unrelated Olivia White?

And now for my trademark question: What are your favorite books and TV shows?

Oh goodness. I just finished reading On the Dark Sea of Darkness and it has become one of my favorites. Thank you so much for this video! I’m off to watch it 😀

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Featured Pictures for Posts in the forum Publishing & Platform 8 years, 8 months ago
@gh24682468999 this is my favorite image site: https://pixabay.com/
Like all image sites, it has some questionable content if you poke in the wrong corners, but overall it’s pretty good.

@gh24682468999 Good question. There are a number of copyright-free photo sources out there. We mostly use Unsplash and Pexel.

@perfectfifths Well, anything, but I think particularly descriptions/sentence structure. I want to make sure it flows just right and is easy to envision.

@daeus Thanks. I don’t know why I didn’t receive it. 🙂
What kind of feedback are you looking for?

@daeus Okay, so I just clicked on the link…and couldn’t stop reading. This is magnificent! I only made one comment at the end, but that’s just a suggestion. 🙂 Great work!

Completely unrelated. Other Olivia Whites do seem to follow us around, though.
Funny.
We’ve bumped into other Sophia Whites, too — one of them, when we lived in the Cities, went to the same hospital and our records got mixed up once. It’s weird how often that happens.
Oh, and then when people who know us personally call each of us by the other’s name, things get even more complicated in no time.
Uh, yikes. That’s freaky.
What, you and your sister? Do you look similar? That I’m used to. People think my oldest sister Elizabeth and I look incredibly similar (supposedly, we really do, but I don’t think the resemblance is THAT close), and we get called each other ALL the time. People confuse us for twins even. She’s four years older than me.…[Read more]
