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]

@issawriter7

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.

@leon-Fleming that’s very good of you. Likewise, your apology is also accepted. Yes, some forms of poetry can be quite hideous.

Ha! Well if my arguing was of some use than I am glad. I also find it is easier to figure out your own thoughts on things if you write them down.

No, I am not on Story Embers.

@Leon-Fleming upon further reflection, I realize I must apologize. I have been arguing for the sake of it and not because I have something constructive to say. And you are correct that I have been stating opinion as fact. You clearly have me beat on your knowledge of poetry and I really don’t have a leg to stand on so I concede to you. Yes, all…[Read more]

@Leon-Fleming well I said it probably wasn’t the correct definition. Ok so that clears things up a bit. Personally, I still wouldn’t class it as poetry but until I become president of some world wide literary organization something-or-other, there isn’t much I can do about it. XD

I really think that we are saying basically the same things, but…[Read more]

@Leon-Fleming ha! Well that’s true in a sense although I don’t often find occasion to talk about Truffala Trees or Sneeds or Rare Who Roast Beast. XD

When I say prose I am referring to anything classed as poetry without rhyme. Haiku’s, for example. I am sure I am probably giving things a broader coverage than they deserve but that’s how I…[Read more]

@Leon-Fleming lol ok, so I see it as cheating to simply make up words to rhyme with the one you are using. Find a real word or change the word you are rhyming with. At the same time, the very things I think he was a cheat for I also see as quite brilliant. If you can’t find a word, make one! Confusing, I know.

I can certainly see why you…[Read more]

@Leon-Fleming well calculus was created during a pandemic so…

Ah, because the literary snob in me says that prose is cheating in the same way that Dr. Seuse was equally cheating and a genius by making up words to rhyme with. In my mind, if it is labeled poetry it should rhyme and you should have had to suffer a bit to create it. 😜 Just kidding…[Read more]

@Leon-Fleming hehe who is overly fond of math? XD

I see what you are saying. I am afraid I have never read any of Tolkien’s works but I think I get the idea.

Its an interesting concept. I have a bit of a prejudice against prose (ok, ok a big prejudice, blame the snob in me) but it would be interesting to see both mixed together. Perhaps sometime…[Read more]
