@ck4always Ah. Do you have a google account? If you don’t, you should really get one. If you do, you’re all set. just google “google drive”. It’s an awesome file storage system. From there, click the “new” button and select “document”. Once your document is ready, you can share it by clicking the blue “share” button in the top right of the screen.…[Read more]

@ck4always Yes. A google doc would work best, but you can just post that in the thread. Post it under fiction > novel critiques.

@ck4always Yep.

@ck4always The writer’s corner is an accountability system. Say you want to write for half an hour, but you’re worried you’ll get distracted. You come on here and ask if anyone wants to write with you for half an hour. Knowing that there is someone else dedicated to staying on track for the same amount of time helps you keep from wandering off.

Welcome, @ck4always 🙂
You have now entered the bestistest place on the internet! How’d you find us? Is there a novel you’re working on at the moment?

@kate-flournoy Excellent. 😀
One option actually would be to do ecards.

@graciegirl Thanks for the update. The month time frame is best, but I’m pretty sure that even if it takes you a bit longer I can still meet my hopeful deadline. Enjoy your trip! 🙂

The theme I’m generally getting here is that we need to treat our reader’s with a servant’s heart. I went ahead and wrote on a piece of paper: “I exist to be a servant to my readers as Christ served the apostles,” then hung it up on my wall. Hopefully I’ll actually follow that principle. 😉
One thing I thought of that I…[Read more]

Great ideas, @kate-flournoy. Physical mail would be awesome to get as a reader. The only problem is getting addresses and non-continental shipping.
Alright, @aratrea! This is an official petition that I be allowed to interview Nadine a second time.

@jane-maree OK, we obviously need to do another interview of Nadine.

@catwing Book signings add value.
I actually just watched the Skit Guys for the first time. I think the one I watched was called “mommy goggles”.

Then too, your blog posts should be above and beyond what people expect.

Daeus replied to the topic The extra mile in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 8 months ago
@catwing That’s true. A blog can give people extra value.

@catwing Well, I think what you have inside of the book is certainly part of it. If you write a book that blows people away, then you’ve gone above and beyond what they expected. I’m more interested in things besides your story though. No book can blow every reader away. We need other lines of defense.

So folks, let’s see how inventive you are.
I was just at a conference and, in one of the talks, a guy said that whatever you do, you should practice the principle of going the extra mile.
I immediately thought of writing. Immediately after that, I was stumped. How does one go the extra mile in writing?
What people expect is a good story, a…[Read more]

@winter-rose There are 31 chapters.
@graciegirl It’s been fun. 😛 Thankfully my brother’s an ISTP, so that’s helped. My mom’s an ENFP too. - Load More
