I’m not sure, actually 🤔When I joined two years ago, it took them a few weeks to process my account stuff

Ughhh, that’s annoying 💀 But I suppose you live and learn. 🤷🏻‍♀️ At least you know for next time. :))

My only fear would be that it would slowly lose momentum and people who want to stay up on posting and moderating it and it would just fade away like KP and even SE has.

OH! And I wanted to let you know, I talked to someone who’s done publishing through Amazon and she says that you an get replacement copies if they mess up the formatting and send out the messed up books to people. I’m not exactly sure all the details and how that works with shipping or refunds, but I can talk to her again and get the info for you…[Read more]

Ok, interesting! Yeah, that does answer my question! 😊 I’ve considered self-publishing, but I think I’m gonna go with traditional. At least that’s what I’ve been thinking about and drawn to lately. Your reasoning totally makes sense though! <3

@whalekeeper @highscribeofaetherium

I know, it is really sad 🥺

Yes, Whaley, I do remember that! It lasted for like a week or something 💀

You know what’d be really cool is if we created an offshoot of Kingdom Pen since it’s not super active in articles and stuff. Like all of us in the forum who are interested start a website similar to KP and…[Read more]

It just occurred to me that we might be the only reason KP is still going….. The Meet the Team page has gone down from like five people to now only one—Reagan Ramm. Kathleen isn’t even on there….

@whalekeeper

Yeah, that makes so much sense!

Oh yeah, I get that. I have a lot of writing knowledge, I just don’t always apply it 💀😂

@whalekeeper

No girl, I love it! I think the key to writing chaotic scenes is pacing. Like if you have a lot of long sentences people are going to get confused, but in your case, you stuck to shorter/mid-length sentences and sprinkled in only a few long ones. It worked really well 👌

Love it!! I love your writing style so much actually! I’m not sure what it is, but something about it makes it easy and engaging to read 🤩

@liberty (moving the convo over here so we don’t spam the short story topic 🤪)

Well, I’m slowly getting back into a rhythm too. I’m starting to write consistently as well. I’m hoping to start working on a WIP. I’ve also started freelancing and am writing for an Amish magazine, which is very exciting! So far, I’ve had one story win 3rd place in th…

Hey!! I appreciate you reaching out. You’re so sweet! 🤗

Things are going pretty well right now! Volleyball made our schedule crazy over the past six months, so it’s nice now that it’s over and things have slowed down some. I’ve started working on some study rhythms for school to keep my grades up since I fell behind in some lessons…[Read more]

Awesome!! I’m so excited for you!!! I can’t wait!! ✨
I’m not sure if you’ve answered this before, but I was wondering why you chose self-publishing over traditional? I have nothing against it of course, I’m just curious. 😊

  @esther-c Tysm, girl! <3
  
  I went with self-publishing for a few reasons.
  1. To have complete control over my novels, what I'm writing, etc.
  2. To get more of an income from it (publishers take a LOT of the money when you publish your book simply bc of the agreement and the fact that they do most of the work).
  3. Often, publishers make you sign a…[Read more]

Aw man, that sounds really difficult. I understand annoying siblings, but I can’t imagine how hard it is for you right now. 🫂 I will definitely be praying! <33

And don’t feel bad about asking for prayer! That’s what Christian community is for 🤗
