For the last several weeks, we’ve had some, how shall we say, “challenges”? with our web server. We’ve been working diligently with our hosting provider to isolate and resolve the issue, but it has been, how shall we say, “challenging?” 🙂

If you’d like to help Kingdom Pen move to a more robust web server platform we welcome your…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver You might not be able to make money with Traditional publishing either. There is no guarantee.

They give you an advance, yes, but you have to give that back if you don’t sell enough copies. Plus, you make SUCH a smaller percentage of every book that is sold.

On top of that, Traditional publishers just don’t promote books like they…[Read more]

The first episode is coming this Friday!

Self-publishing is vastly superior to traditional publishing.

Romeo and Juliet.

It’s considered one of the greatest love stories of all time but it’s not a love story, and it’s not great.

It’s really just a story about the two most unbelievably selfish and stupid teenagers of all time. It’s also just cheesy.

But I guess one could say it does a decent job of being a cautionary tale of what can happen to…[Read more]

Awesome!

We’ll start recording our pilot season as soon as possible then!

A few of the show ideas we have right now are:
– How to monetize your creative brand
– The formula for making a living from your creations
– Just Hit Publish (Why creators need to create and publish more)
– How to manage your time as a creative so you get…[Read more]

Great! Encouraging to see all the positive feedback!

Maybe we’ll do a pilot season and release some episodes and see what you guys think of it. 🙂

Yes, things are declining, but we don’t have to worry or fret because we can trust in God. 🙂

This also just shows the need for you, and Kingdom Pen, and Christians to get back involved in shaping the culture and our institutions.

Maybe one day Kingdom Pen can create it’s own online software as an alternative to NaNoWriMo.

Thanks! Glad you liked it. Owl City has definitely been an influence.

Do you have any recordings of your singing anywhere online?

This is such a cool topic! I’m always looking to add new vocalists for my songs!

I sing by necessity but I don’t really consider myself a singer since I don’t particularly like my voice and don’t think that I’m very good. Here’s an example. 

Hence why I’m always trying to find new vocalists.

Really cool songs @Samuel-p-robbins! Definitely sound like they could be soundtracks to a novel.

Definitely a touching story. What can we do to restore what was great about Kingdom Pen in the past?

@devastate-lasting That’s awesome! Which DAW are you thinking of getting?

@Leon-fleming Thanks! And that’s cool you’ve written some songs too! And I can totally understand the struggle of finding the time. It’s definitely been hard for me to keep up with both music and writing.

And that’s great you’ve got a couple of my songs! Glad you like them!

Well I’d love to hear anything you have!

And by micro-genre I mean you want to get really niched down as far as what genre your music falls into.

If you try to target fans of piano music for example, you’re a very small fish in a very big pond, and even if you are discovered, your music isn’t as likely to resonate.

Instead you want to dig…[Read more]

I absolutely love this idea!

Here is my latest work-in-progress…
