Also… check the site this Saturday for a special bonus video. Not going to say what it is about yet, but I think y’all might like it. 😉

@mariposa That would be fantastic! Not sure if that works with our tech, but I’ll look into that.
Also, just got to say that the drawing you did of us that got posted to Instagram is absolutely fantastic. 😮 You seriously nailed what our faces looked like.

Josiah DeGraaf replied to the topic So I finally started a website. Feedback and suggestions welcome. in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 4 months ago
Ahh… I recognize this theme! Played with it a fair bit myself before switching to a different theme for my website.
I’ll second everyone saying that the heading letters are difficult to read. At the very least, I would make them larger. I’m not sure any color would show up well, against that background, so you may want to…[Read more]

@hope Thanks for the advice on page order. That makes sense. The email follow is for the “newsletter,” but I’ll be posting infrequently enough that I’ll be sending an email every time a blog post goes out. What do you mean by follow buttons? And what do you see as being the advantages of allowing WP-follow as opposed to funneling readers to…[Read more]

@sleepwalkingmk Awesome. Yes, those look like good motivations, especially the protection aspect. A false sense of selflessness can go a long way to creating a compelling villain.

@lifeofkatie Got ya–thanks for the clarification! Yeah, not sure how much I can do about screen sizes, but I’ll see if I can resolve that. 🙂

@lifeofkatie Thanks for the feedback! Are you referring to the social media buttons or the link to the ‘Contact’ page? On my screen, the ‘Contact’ page is on the same line as the other pages, but that may not be the case on a smaller screen. What kind of device are you using?

Wow. OK, you and your sister are seriously the best. Because I wouldn’t have known about half of that stuff if you hadn’t commented. xD If she ever wants to help KP web design, just have her shoot us an email, haha.

@daeus That’s what I had been thinking would look better, but I wanted to verify that. I’ll brush up on my CSS and see if there’s an easy way to make that work.

Josiah DeGraaf replied to the topic The Thread Where I Complain in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 4 months ago
I know very little about screenwriting. @michael-stanton would be the person to ask about that if he has the time to respond.
I’ve found it sometimes helps to get some distance. A while back I was having a rough time with my current WIP, so I set it aside for a month and tried to forget about it. Once I came back to it, the fresh perspective…[Read more]

@Kate-Flournoy Ah; yes. That awkward moment when you forget your own website’s mission statement. xD Thanks for the feedback! I’ll see if I can make those page options any bigger.
@daeus That’s helpful. Were you picturing just a box outline around the smaller text, or for it to actually a box insert that would block out the cathedral picture…[Read more]

Hey KeePers!
So after telling people for about six months or so that if they’re serious about writing they should have their own author website, I finally decided it was high time that I started following my own advice. xD And I’d love to get your feedback on it before I officially “release” it, so to speak.
The website is currently live at…[Read more]

Seconding what everyone else said. There was some great advice in this thread. Also a number of things I was guilty of, like that proper noun thing. =P Thanks for doing this!

@sleepwalkingmk Okay–good work there. Your revision of the first EiL is looking better too; I’m seeing the connections more between obedience & the story’s theme.
We’ll be covering villains and other major characters later on in the course, but one quick thing to think about with regards to your villain: how is his EiL going to be related to the…[Read more]

Hey KeePers!
You should have gotten an email about this last night, but I just wanted to make sure everyone was aware of our fourth panel discussion that’s happening this upcoming Monday on self-publishing and writing.
In short, we have three self-published authors (Kim Vandel, Rachel Rittenhouse, and Jeannette DiLouie) who are going to be on…[Read more]
