@emma-flournoy Yes, but your sister is on my side, so there. XD I do still like Writing in the Light, and will keep my blog named that or will rework it into a tagline. But Inkfeather sounds… cooler. More official.

@Northerner Never heard of Iggyfeather. I think there are enough ink and feather things that the name doesn’t take anything from…[Read more]

@Devastate-Lasting Welcome to the most wonderful Christian forum ever. Or rather, the most wonderful forum ever. 😀 I’m an INTJ, but I have several INFJ characters. Well… at least one MC who I am in the middle of tormenting. *grins* Sorry…

35 books… and I’m hesitant to start my seven book series. I have over a dozen books planned, but not…[Read more]

@Jess Yes, and there is Wingfeather. But I think it is far from both Wingfeather and Inkheart to work. And it actually clicks, unlike most of the other names I’ve been trying. 😉

Soo… I think I actually might have found one I like, thanks to my eleven-year-old brother. Inkfeather Publishing. What do you all think? @jess, @daeus, @mariposa, @northerner I know feather is used in some other names but there are only so many names and it is very ‘logogenic’. XD

@jess So my point is proven. XD *sighs* Hmmm… a feather looks cool. Feathers or wings. I’m thinking logos here.

Ugggg, Kate’s going to hate me if I’ve gone to all this trouble and then stick with Writing in the Light. *glances warily to the side*

@mariposa Hmmmm… Writing for the Light? No. That’s just as long. Writing With Light Publishing. That’s a little shorter…

There is also Featherstone Publishing.

@Daeus Yes, there is still that. *scowls* It’s not that I don’t like the name but it’s also logos… @Kate-flournoy, you care to explain?

Free books? *perks up* Eh… I suppose. *goes to click a few buttons*

@bethanysinkyroses, @jess, @dragon-snapper, @mariposa, @winter-rose, @kate-flournoy, @everyoneelsewhohelpedorsawthis

So, my final choice, partly because it’s my favorite and partly because it seems to be the majority of everyone else’s favorite is:

Blackened Rose
Bloodied Crown
Broken Seal

Now, I might change the Bloodied Crown one later on.…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Congratulationssssssssssssss! Unfortunately, I don’t have the time for beta reading. 🙁 Too much to do, too little time. But I wish you all the best and if you have questions about the publication process itself, I’d be happy to help. 🙂

@Aratrea The advantage of a follow button is that you’ll get followers that way who aren’t otherwise committed enough to actually sign up to a newsletter. Depending settings, they will automatically get an email when you post something and your post will show up in their reader feed. I know there are a number of blogs I follow because it just…[Read more]

@his-instrument What Daeus said. You’ll only ever have one blog page (though you can change which page your blog posts go it, be it blog or writing or something else). But each post you can add to one or more categories and then you can link categories in your menu so when you click on writing, all the blog posts that are categorized under writing…[Read more]

@his-instrument, @dragon-snapper *springs to attention* Did someone call? Beta reading and email exchanges, is it? I think you’ve already emailed Kingdom Pen with your email, @dragon-snapper. You can do the same thing, @his-instrument. Just email Kingdompenmag@gmail.com and give me your real name and forum name so I know who you are, then I can…[Read more]

Also, I’d recommend getting easy ‘follow’ buttons on your site. There’s the email follow, but I’m not sure if that is for the blog or newsletter. And a WordPress follow button would be very helpful to your readers.

@Aratrea I really like it! Everyone else has touched on things I would mention – mainly that it is very much a ‘story first’ blog rather an an ‘author first’ blog. Which is great, if you plan on just posting about your stories. If you plan on posting articles or stuff about yourself, you might want to change that aspect of it, even if it is just…[Read more]

@northerner Hmmm, no. But it could be. XD

@jane-maree Still, do you have a favorite?

@kate-flournoy I thought you’d like those ones. They’d help me in cover ideas too.

@dragon-snapper Hmmm, yes. But this title won’t be on the same page as the other titles and the rose is a pretty important element. There might be a little repetition, but I don’t think it’s enough to be jarring.

Thanks for all your help, everyone! I’ll post a few…[Read more]
