So, my final choice, partly because it’s my favorite and partly because it seems to be the majority of everyone else’s favorite is:

Blackened Rose
Bloodied Crown
Broken Seal

Now, I might change the Bloodied Crown one later on.…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Congratulationssssssssssssss! Unfortunately, I don’t have the time for beta reading. 🙁 Too much to do, too little time. But I wish you all the best and if you have questions about the publication process itself, I’d be happy to help. 🙂

@Aratrea The advantage of a follow button is that you’ll get followers that way who aren’t otherwise committed enough to actually sign up to a newsletter. Depending settings, they will automatically get an email when you post something and your post will show up in their reader feed. I know there are a number of blogs I follow because it just…[Read more]

@his-instrument What Daeus said. You’ll only ever have one blog page (though you can change which page your blog posts go it, be it blog or writing or something else). But each post you can add to one or more categories and then you can link categories in your menu so when you click on writing, all the blog posts that are categorized under writing…[Read more]

@his-instrument, @dragon-snapper *springs to attention* Did someone call? Beta reading and email exchanges, is it? I think you’ve already emailed Kingdom Pen with your email, @dragon-snapper. You can do the same thing, @his-instrument. Just email Kingdompenmag@gmail.com and give me your real name and forum name so I know who you are, then I can…[Read more]

Also, I’d recommend getting easy ‘follow’ buttons on your site. There’s the email follow, but I’m not sure if that is for the blog or newsletter. And a WordPress follow button would be very helpful to your readers.

@Aratrea I really like it! Everyone else has touched on things I would mention – mainly that it is very much a ‘story first’ blog rather an an ‘author first’ blog. Which is great, if you plan on just posting about your stories. If you plan on posting articles or stuff about yourself, you might want to change that aspect of it, even if it is just…[Read more]

@northerner Hmmm, no. But it could be. XD

@jane-maree Still, do you have a favorite?

@kate-flournoy I thought you’d like those ones. They’d help me in cover ideas too.

@dragon-snapper Hmmm, yes. But this title won’t be on the same page as the other titles and the rose is a pretty important element. There might be a little repetition, but I don’t think it’s enough to be jarring.

Thanks for all your help, everyone! I’ll post a few…[Read more]

@bethanysinkyroses Will do. 😀 And yes, I have a blog. It is: https://authorhopeann.com/

@Jess Yes, that is my favorite set too.

Good bye, @winter-rose And good day to you as well, @dragon-snapper. I got most of a fight worked through and now I must leave.

@Winter-rose Have another strawberry.

@dragon-snapper I think you misspelled brown, mushy thingies.

Ignores all mushrooms and eats strawberries by her lonesome.

@dragon-snapper that works too. 😉 I’m going to write until 3:00

I’m going to be writing for about an hour-ish. Anyone up for a word war?

@daeus @dragon-snapper @graciegirl @ethryndal @jess @winter-rose

@mariposa Oooo, yes. That’s a good idea. *scowls at self* seriously, Hope. You have light in the title and don’t once think about using that as a theme?

Thanks so much, everyone. That prompted several cool ideas. So… what do you think? Favorites or changes? I’ve two places I couldn’t decide on a word so I included both.

1. War for Aslaria
2. War for Zahava or Zulema
3. War for Veritas

1. The Sacrifice
2. The Steadfast or Subjection
3. The Subversion

1. Ancient Oath
2. Rejected Pardon
3.…[Read more]
