*salutes* Chosen one reporting for duty. So what are chosen ones supposed to do? Any ideas @dragon-snapper @kate-flournoy? I think we should eat lots of ice cream.

Btw, @northerner, if you go to the general forum page, there is a forum search feature at the top.

@Daeus I had a moment’s pause, as I noted, because I thought it was a little long, but after that split second I had no problem with it.

@emma-flournoy Okay.

Did anybody else feel “The Time Traveler who wasn’t ready” was off at all? @kate-flournoy @emily @josiahdeboer @catwing @northerner

@Ethryndal got it. *tries not to eye Galadriel too weirdly* I, however, am past midlife crises, being already dead.

… Galadriel is chanting like an ewok.

@Ethryndal I think you broke me.

@emma-flournoy What about this alteration?

“Journey of an incompetent time traveler”

*dying scream* NOW I HAVE THE EWOK CHANT STUCK IN MY HEAD!!
*SOBS*

(Well… that makes me happy then. 😉 NOT THAT I KNOW MORE. That I was able to help you with it. 😛 )

@Ethryndal *chokes* Your ‘writing master’?? *coughs**wipes eyes* S-sorry. I just… always assumed that was sort of a joke…? 😛

@emma-flournoy I’m not entirely sure what your saying. Are you saying if you have never read the book, reading that title wouldn’t particularly interest you?

Also, are you thinking that “the gears of the world turn faster” would make a good title as it is?

@Overcomer oh good. *grins* I like giving people chills.

@Overcomer *glances around cautiously**whispers* here. Have a link. It’s not running yet but I have it up and a few things on it, and if I don’t give it to you know I’m gonna forget. 😛

@Overcomer nice! Share it with us once you have it running. 🙂

@That_Writer_Girl_99 thank you. That means a lot. 😉

@Overcomer I know! I’ve missed you. 🙂
That sounds like a great book, and that is an excellent thought. I have a grand total of two colleagues (@Daeus @Hope) but we have strengths and weaknesses that balance each other out, so we can all learn from each other and teach each other in different ways. You’re right; those partnerships are crucial.

@Daeus thank you. Good thoughtful answer. Believe it or not I actually hadn’t thought about it one way or the other; doing long term or not, but now that I have, it’s a definite yes. I never really set my heart to do anything unless I’m going to do it long term anyway. 😉 If it was just for promoting myself— yep, website. But since I feel like I…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy All in all, I like it.

I was thinking for a while if it would be better for you to not have a blog and have an email list only, but after reflecting on it, I don’t think that would be best. That is, as long as you plan to blog for a while. Is blogging something you see yourself doing for many years to come, or are you mainly…[Read more]

@Daeus how dare you shove your superior experience off on me!

No, you’re right. I guess I wouldn’t go so far as to say I haven’t done any planning— I have a basic idea of what I want. The blog actually serves two purposes for now (or once I get it running). The first is to help other writers by sharing what I learn. The second is to promote my…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Sure. I only have one rule. Don’t pick apart my brain.

And actually, if you don’t mind me saying so, I wouldn’t start your blog and then come up with your plan for building your platform. I would come up with your plan first and then (if it’s the right thing to do) start a blog.
