What do you guys think? I’d appreciate any feedback. I wrote it in four days, so it may be a little rushed.

@daeus  Right. As soon as I posted my topic, I was like, “Wait, Alfred didn’t write this directly…” So, oops! XD STILL, amazing poetry!

@daeus  Pbth, #2, hands down!!

@Daeus yep, #2.

@daeus – I vote for #2!

@daeus I’ll echo the others. I like the second one much better 🙂

@daeus Yeah, I’d vote for #2 as well

@supermonkey42  Wow. You ventured deep into the ancient, spooky cave of old, dusty topics and found a treasure! I’m impressed! I can’t let this turn back to dust…

@daeus  I just read the poem Of Fame and Death on page 41, and WOW. Just wow. I had no idea Alfred the Great was such a talented and deep poet. I especially liked the first seven sta…[Read more]

@daeus Okay, I know this topic is ancient (it’s the second oldest in “recent forum topics” at the moment), but this is actually pretty cool! Alfred the Great sounds like a good guy, and his poems are pretty good. I was skimming through the book, and I found it interesting that the translator inserted notes about Anglo-Saxon language. I have alway…[Read more]

@daeus Great idea! Thanks for tagging me, but I don’t have a FB account so I can’t participate (otherwise I also would have joined the Kingdom Pen staff FB group).

@daeus I thought about aiming higher, but I didn’t want to for fear of disappointment. 150 seemed like a good middle ground. 🙂

Thanks. I’ll look into that (January is going to be my marketing strategy month so I can have everything lined out for the year).

One last random question: why do you have a herd of turtles as your signature? I’m…[Read more]

@Daeus *deep breath* Okay, I’m doing this. Wish me luck.

“Is that bad?” Catwing backed away from Ethryndal’s squint. “I thought it would be fun for Christmas.”
“It /is/ bad.” Ethryndal’s straightened back up. “Wonder will slowly enter this world and it will mess it up the balance.”
“But that’s the point. To make things different, shake them up.” Catwing held her paws u…[Read more]

Nope! I don’t think I’ve even heard of any of those! But now i’m interested to see if my local library has any of them.
Cool verse! I love hearing what verses pop out to different people for different reasons. 🙂

@daeus Ah, okay. Makes sense.

Okay, so I tried to make Josiah Degrande, AKA The Wiser. I epically failed. But…. *winces* I’ll post it here anyways.

Using Gandalf’s beard has to count as something though, right?

@aratrea @daeus @dragon-snapper @catwing @dekreel @shannon @emily

How ’bout this?

@daeus @perfectfifths

Also, Daeus, why is your signature a bunch of turtles? Don’t get me wrong, I love turtles, but I figured it’d be something about raspberries and ice cream or something 😉

@daeus I’ve written down a list of various marketing goals for 2018. I’d like to have an audience of around 150 by 2019. Do you think that’s too high? I’d like to make a living from my art/writing someday, but right now my main goal is just to earn a little extra cash on the side.

Hmm… A marketing coach. That sounds like a good idea, but I’m n…[Read more]

@aratrea My main focus is art, writing, and fiction. However, I can write on a variety of topics. I have The Christian Writer’s Market Guide but it’s very outdated, so I’ll probably invest my Christmas cash in the 2018 edition (I do own the 2016 Children’s Writers and Illustrators Market Guide, but most of the magazines are secular and I prefer to…[Read more]

I’m just wondering if this might not be a little more realistic. 😛 @epicaddie2 @daeus
