Thanks everyone!

You may be wondering what my goal was with this. I had a theory that most writers like you want to make an impact (you seem to agree), but that at the same time they fear being a professional author will be too hard for them and so they don’t treat themselves completely seriously. I didn’t phrase the question for that one…[Read more]

@rochellaine No, I appreciated your answer.

Well then yeah, I’d say that describes how I feel about it. @daeus

@that_writer_girl_99 By “sold out” I don’t mean that you’re crazy about it, but you’re at least determined.

That depends on what you mean by sold out…? @daeus

Okay, let me put this a different way. Would you say you want to reach thousands of readers with your books or are you sold out on doing so?

That’s the goal, yes. @daeus

Okay, second question: do you plan to become an established author?

@aratrea I can do it.

@mnvalentine I completely agree with you! I love the Harry Potter series, and I think it has a lot of positive themes. I’ve no problems with the HP books, and simply mentioned them because @princessfoo had. Really great thoughts there!

You’re right. When I think culture, I think of it on a grander scale, and with an emphasis on the mental/spiritual ways books challenge us to think and act. On that note, you’re right–the Twilight and Hunger Games books present a number of smaller issues that were only escalated due to their popularity. @princessfoo

*sighs* Gryffindor, hm? Guess I could tolerate that. Not as cool as Slytherin, but still cool…

Anyway. I just started listening to Imagine Dragons, but I really like them. What’s your favorite song? I think mine is Thunder, I can’t resist singing it when it comes on. @ashlyvye

@princessfoo As far as cultural impact goes, I’m not sure Twilight or the Hunger Games series had much to give. They were popular, but empty. More for entertainment purposes than to present food for thought.

*raises hand*

@aedesia Welcome to KP!

What do you like to write?

Hello there @ashlyvye! Welcome to KP. If you have any questions about where to find something on the site, feel free to ask!

Ooh, you like Harry Potter? Do you know which house you’d be in? *crosses fingers and hopes for Slytherin*

@catwing nope, it’s pretty easy to use! If you’re switching from blogger to wordpress there are a couple technical things you want to be careful with, but I know of some good tutorials.

I have to go right now, but if you think you’re going to do it and have any questions, feel free to public message me 😀

@dekreel bye!
