@hannah-r It’s not really expensive. You basically just pay for a cover unless you can really design a good one yourself and then you can do a couple easy things yourself without paying for them and it doesn’t cost anything to list your books online. Print books don’t have to cost anything either with print on demand. Marketing is a broad subject.…[Read more]

@his-instrument Well, I see what you mean. Of course, elves and ghosts are different, since elves are basically just a different looking human, whereas ghosts are spirits.

The basic principle here is that the truer something is, the better. Truth, though, isn’t always simple. There are levels of truth. For instance, if you wanted to show a…[Read more]

@daeus Let me know how self-publishing works out for you. I haven’t given much consideration to that method because I’ve heard it’s expensive, but I’ve never known anyone who used that method. How are you going to market your book? That’s another thing I’ve heard is tough with self-publishing, because you’re responsible for everything.

Well @His-Instrument, it depends on how you define ghost I guess. And sorry Tolkien, whatever you say about no allegory, I’m not buying it. 😛 There is no way he was blind to the symbolism in his work. Even if it wasn’t supposed to be a specific allegory, it was allegorical in so many ways it’s impossible he did that on accident. Sauron of course…[Read more]

@his-instrument I am planning to self-publish soon. I’m hoping in about two weeks, but we’ll see if I can manage everything in that time.

I’m not actually doing my own cover design. I hired PerryElizabethDesigns, which is a company that advertised on KP before. I’d recommend them. They’re pretty affordable and I like what they’ve done.

@gretald, I hope you can make it! I have been to Delaware and back in a day, so I know that it’s doable, but that was for a competition. I don’t know whether you drive yourself or not, but if your parents bring you, there is plenty of shopping and restaurants in the Canton area, or they could hang out at LifeWay or sit in on the gathering. And…[Read more]

@northerner @daeus @kate-flournoy Thanks for the input.
I could probably find a way to have ghosts represent something spiritual in this story, but it might be a stretch. I guess my question is, do they have to represent something? If you look at Lord of the Rings (which is pretty much one of my favorite things to point to as an example of…[Read more]

@daeus
A couple of questions that have nothing to do with critiquing your cover. 1) Are you getting ready to self-publish? 2) How did you put together a cover? (I’ve done covers for fun before, but I’ve used Picasa, which can’t superimpose images, and I’ve had to go with photos I’ve taken, which is rough, as I don’t have a large selection of…[Read more]

@alia
Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry. That’s really hard. I’ll definitely be praying for the little girl and all those involved.

Hey, anyone who’s up for writing, I’m doing some editing now.

@Emma-Flournoy the ‘a deep uncertainty’ is after an ‘and’ so it doesn’t really matter.

@Daeus yessss. We loves it very much. Except you made web plural. Typo.

Ok. Watcha think? @kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy

Matthew is sworn to avenge a murder. His dedication to his wronged family is powerful enough to bring him through any trial, but youth and inexperience hold him back. Setting out to find new strength, he plummets into a webs of tangled plots, tragedies, and a deep uncertainty surrounding his…[Read more]

@winter-rose Yeah, I do know what you mean. Hopefully I’ll have version two tomorrow.

Thanks @Daeus. ‘Preciate it. XD

Also my wifi will probably cut out before nine, so… may not actually get the results anyway. :/

@kate-flournoy I’ll tell you what words are! They’re letters that mean something. Go forth and conquer.

WELL SOME OTHER WORD FOR WAR-ZONE! XD Web. Net. Trap. Confusion. Desolation.

Because plummets is a singular action that does not match up with the plural of tangled plots.

@Emma-Flournoy

@Daeus I’m… writing? 😛 More like sitting staring at my screen asking myself ‘wut r words’ and dabbing my nose with tissues and trying not to sneeze everywhere because I have a cold… but it makes me happy that I’m trying… sort of… I’ll try a bit harder, I guess. Just don’t expect stunning results. XD

@Emma-Flournoy *winces* Subtlety is a virtue, my dear. And if it isn’t it should be.

And I like the font as it is. That’s one of my favorite fonts. If popular vote demands I suggest another I shall do my best, but I really don’t think the font needs to be changed.
