@Koryn-Koch I know I’m suuuper late (shame on me) but HI. I’m Jane. *passes you pizza* WELCOME!!

@CK4always ‘ELLO. *throws welcoming confetti and passes you pizza* Welcome, welcome and thrice welcome.

@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?

You know, when I joined the forum, we were on Writer’s Corner #4. That doesn’t seem like that long ago, yet…

I’m not writing currently, but I hope to be able to later. @shannon @emily

@kate-flournoy Excellent. 😀

One option actually would be to do ecards.

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.

I’m on…working on…a thing.

*coughs* I’ll be on, until I’m not.

@kate-flournoy @jane-maree @ethryndal @perfectfifths @dragon-snapper

@Daeus YES DO. XD Nadine is honestly just the bestest. *nods*

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

@majerot Wow–that’s an impressive collection of work there! Also, that list of favorite authors is awesome. I can see many of my own favorites also there–particularly Dostoevsky. ^_^ My favorite of his is probably Brothers Karamazov; how about yourself?

@Daeus I think that your original comment about Nadine is a very very good example. Your readers are a huge impact on whether your book is successful (obviously) so you need to treat them as real people and be their best friend.
Nadine is honestly such an amazing above-and-beyond-er. She asks her street team/ninja’s birthdays when they join so she…[Read more]

@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.

@catwing That’s true. A blog can give people extra value.
