Faith Kindred

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?

@Salome01w4g Heh. It’s Flor-noy. The Flour rhymes with door. 😉

@salome01w4g ooh brother, now there I do not envy you. 😛

@Salome01w4g *grins* You can do it. Go forth and conquer.

@Salome01w4g never. Seriously, never too late. If you’re serious about this story and an outline is what it’s gonna take, outline it.
I’ve been very vocal in the past about my hatred of outlining, but lately I’ve been eating some pretty serious humble pie and planning to outline all the rest of my ideas from here on out. Too late for my current…[Read more]

@Daeus ooh, good point.

@kate-flournoy Excellent. 😀

One option actually would be to do ecards.

@Daeus oh yeah… didn’t think of the address or shipping bit. Hm.
And YES. About the emails— totally. And you’ve succeeded; I love it when I get one of your official emails because it’s usually hilarious. *grins*

@dragon-snapper thou hast summoned me from the depths of digital art. What dost thou callest upon my extensive wisdom for? Dost this concernest my sister’s blog post?
Btw, I pretty much stood over her shoulder the whole time going “Oh, what about this gif?” and “You need to put this caption!” It’s a miracle I’m still alive!:D
Oh, and does anyone…[Read more]

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.

@Daeus for others directly… I think oftentimes it just surprises people when you remember them personally in a sea of other voices. Initiating contact instead of just responding, reviving an old joke, or maybe even remembering their birthday and surprising them. (*gulp* I barely remember my own… 😛 ) In other words letting them know that…[Read more]

@daeus I discovered that for me, sometimes “go the extra mile” means “work extra hard to make sure my writing is the best it can possibly be.” To take the extra time to do another edit. To study more about craft. To be willing to learn. That’s really hard for me, because I don’t like to work on one project for very long. 🙂 But it’s been so worth it!

@salome01w4g and @catwing, there may be a few more Aussies than there are Hannahs. Maybe we should call in support from all the Sarahs and Emilys in the world, too. 🙂 Are you both from the U.S.? Hannah was the name of the year in the U.S. the year I was born. Which is funny, because one of the reasons my mom chose my name is that she thought she…[Read more]

@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?

@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.
