@kate-flournoy Wahoo!

@epicaddie2 I’m a king. I’m capricious.

@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]

@mariposa

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]

@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.

@itisastarrynight Oooh. A graphic novel! That’s so cool.

Welcome to the community. 😀

@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!

@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 I felt it expressed my personality nicely.

@aislinn-mollisong It’s from an old latin medical book and people just use it for filler.

@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.

@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]

I guess I could do something like this: 

@kate-flournoy Okay, here’s what that could look like with a border. The problem with borders is that I can’t find any that are adjustable, so I have to find one that’s just the right size and look. Looking at this, I think it would look better with a border that encompassed the whole lower half. I could get a different banner/plate for the top…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy True. I was going to do something like that, but I couldn’t figure out how, so…I didn’t do anything like that. 😛

But I can do some sort of border. I’ll play with it.
