@abby1 Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!
I do believe you’re the first New Zealander we’ve ever had. How did you find us?
What types of books do you like to write?

Daeus replied to the topic Poems by Alfred the Great in the forum Poetry 6 years, 11 months ago
@supermonkey42 @dekreel Glad you enjoyed these. 😀
Reeding the advertisement in this and the notes on some of the poems, I’m actually getting the impression with this book, that it was not the original poetry of Alfred, but translated for Boethius, a Latin poet. However, it seems that Alfred was liberal with his translation and he made some…[Read more]

Greeting Keepers!
A lot of us are starting to build platforms now, or at least we plan to very soon. I’ve been platform building longer than most, and I’ve found that the #1 inhibitor of growth is that platform building is easy to forget about.
I thought, why not build a community for accountability and sharing?
(Note: I couldn’t think of a…[Read more]

@notawriter Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet.
Have you read The Count Of Monte Cristo? The Mistborn trillogy? Crime and Punishment? Cry The Beloved Country?
A favorite verse? Aaah! *beads of cold sweat* Well, if I had to pick, I’d probably go with. 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 “For the love of Christ controls us, since we have concluded…[Read more]

No, 150 is not too audacious. It’s not easy, but it’s certainly manageable. You could even aim higher if you wanted to push yourself.
Fyi, if you’re going to market yourself on Pinterest, you’ll have to create a business account. (it’s free and the only major difference from a normal account is that it allows you to run paid ads if you…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic I Gotta Get Me Some Writing Books in the forum Non-Fiction 6 years, 11 months ago
@winter-rose The KP resource library has a list of good writing books I would check out.
As for marketing books, I’d recommend Your First 10,000 Readers and The Book Launch Blueprint by Tim Grahl. I think those are probably the most solid marketing books I’ve read. I remember How To Market A Book by Joanna Pen having some good ideas too. You may…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 While the perfectionist in me is wrestling with the fact that my crown should be falling off, I have to say this is really hilarious.

@mariposa Great topic. I’m looking forward to what other people have to say.
For myself, I haven’t yet built a platform I can really base a business on, but I know that’s mainly my fault for not giving platform building enough attention. I have done a couple things with platform building though, and while some of them did not work, some of them…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Ah, well not everybody knows it, obviously. 😂😆
Maybe I should substitute that with a tagline then, like, “take your writing to the next level.”

@princesswriter Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!
What are some of your favorite authors? Are you writing anything at the moment?
See you around!

Daeus replied to the topic Pinterest in the forum Publishing & Platform 6 years, 11 months ago
@kate-flournoy @seekjustice @lifeofkatie So, just making sure I’m not crazy here. My sister showed me around on Pinterest a couple days ago and it seemed like someone had to click on your pin to see your description to click on your link to go to your site.
Therefore, I want people to click on my pin, right?
That’s why I have that call to action…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Ah, okay. Here are two more examples then.
Don’t ask me why the lines on #1 are short. I designed them a little longer.

Daeus replied to the topic Pinterest in the forum Publishing & Platform 6 years, 11 months ago
@lifeofkatie Do you have an example of what you’re talking about. I can’t quite imagine it.
And, sure, I’d be interested to know what programs you use.
@kate-flournoy I’m not exactly sure what you mean. :/
I’m using Canva.
I did experiment with a border like you were talking about. Here are three designs. None of them are amazing, but I think…[Read more]
