Cookies are yummy. 🙂

@kate-flournoy First of all, Daeuses are not intimidated by dragons.

Second of all, assassination attempts would be very tragic and make me feel sad.

Finally, I’ve decided to set up a Parliment!!! All of you are officially parliament members! Hooray! (But the king still has ultimate authority over all snacks.)

*salutes* Chosen one reporting for duty. So what are chosen ones supposed to do? Any ideas @dragon-snapper @kate-flournoy? I think we should eat lots of ice cream.

Btw, @northerner, if you go to the general forum page, there is a forum search feature at the top.

@emma-flournoy Okay.

Did anybody else feel “The Time Traveler who wasn’t ready” was off at all? @kate-flournoy @emily @josiahdeboer @catwing @northerner

@emma-flournoy What about this alteration?

“Journey of an incompetent time traveler”

@emma-flournoy I’m not entirely sure what your saying. Are you saying if you have never read the book, reading that title wouldn’t particularly interest you?

Also, are you thinking that “the gears of the world turn faster” would make a good title as it is?

@kate-flournoy All in all, I like it.

I was thinking for a while if it would be better for you to not have a blog and have an email list only, but after reflecting on it, I don’t think that would be best. That is, as long as you plan to blog for a while. Is blogging something you see yourself doing for many years to come, or are you mainly…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Sure. I only have one rule. Don’t pick apart my brain.

And actually, if you don’t mind me saying so, I wouldn’t start your blog and then come up with your plan for building your platform. I would come up with your plan first and then (if it’s the right thing to do) start a blog.

@kate-flournoy *cackle* *cackle* Yes. Indie is good. Have you thought about starting a platform anytime soon?

@epicaddie2 I’ll pray for you.

@kate-flournoy First of all, I can’t imagine why you would have to have a mentor to succeed. Methinks there have been plenty of authors who have succeeded without mentors. Here are my other thoughts.

1. You don’t need one on one training. You can learn everything you ever need to know from courses, forums, group mentoring, etc, etc.

2. There is…[Read more]

On the same line, if you have a mac, right-clicking on a word and then selecting “look up ‘word'” will bring up a dictionary, thesaurus, and short Wikipedia description of that word. It’s super helpful. If you have a laptop, it’s even easier. Simply hover the mouse over a word and then tap the trackpad with three fingers.

I love macs. 😀

@epicaddie2 @salome01w4g Signing off. Only wrote 374, but, you know. Slow and steady is better than nothing and steady.

@kate-flournoy Possibly. I mean, certainly, but I don’t know if the other options will sound good. “The unready time traveler” doesn’t strike me as very good. 😉

Anyway, I don’t think length is a very big problem. I’ll think through alternatives though.

What do the rest of you think of this title? @hope @emma-flournoy @winter-rose @graciegirl @d…[Read more]

@eipcaddie2 @daughteroftheking Er, actually, I have to do something for about five minutes first

@epicaddie2 @daughteroftheking I’m back. And now I’m aiming to write till 9.

@epicaddie2 @daughteroftheking And yet again I have to go. 🙁 I shall return though!

@epicaddie2 @daughteroftheking Okay! I’m back. I shall now be writing till 8:30.

@kate-flournoy The Time Traveler Who Wasn’t Ready actually ties in with the almost last line.

“Art ready, sir?”
“Do I need to be?”

@eppicaddie2 @daughteroftheking Ooops! I have to go. I’ll be back though.
