@daeus @dekreel Or am I? *waves hands around like a really old-school hollywood movie ghost* Still think this is cool idea, btw.

Here’s our video, @dragon-snapper !

Hope it helps!

5 Reasons You Should Be Talking Up A Storm About Your Novel Before You Even Publish It

Great question, @dragon-snapper

We’ll shoot a video on this, but I can give a quick answer here.

In short, definitely!

First of all, why is your timetable so long? Why not publish this year?

Second, I think it’s a great idea to talk about your novel. In fact, the more the better!

Did Disney keep it a secret when they were planning The Force…[Read more]

@dekreel Classic.

@jenwriter17 Yeah. I think it’s the “Worst Allegory Ever” video.

@ethryndal Looks like you’ve already gotten some great answers here! In my opinion, this is natural. When I started writing my current novel, I thought my primary theme was anger with a focusing question of “How should you deal with your anger?”, but during drafts and revisions, the primary theme ended up morphing into moral principles with a…[Read more]

…And we just finished the first video that is a result of this topic!

How To Find The Motivation To Finally Finish Your Story

Let me know if this helps! 🙂

This is awesome! Thanks guys!

And keep them coming! Don’t hold back! 😁

@Dekreel I know! Sorry! Life has been crazy. But I’m back now!

Also, did you see the recent video Haley and I did to your question on self-doubt? Was that helpful?

Hi, @dekreel

We can definitely relate!

Haley and I shot a video that hopefully should provide some encouragement, and help you finally kick that comparitis and self-doubt to the curb!

How to stop doubting your ability to write, and finally stop comparing yourself to other writers.

@that_writer_girl_99 Seems hard to believe it’s only been a year. Feels like you’ve been a part of this for much longer than that. 🙂

Step #1: Post the FB page link here so we can follow you. 😀

Step #2: Make sure it’s linked on your blog, and possibly include a link to it in your welcome email sequence for new subscribers (assuming you have a mailing list).

Step #3: My personal approach has been to be posting writing or reading related statuses 4-5 days a week, and then as…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart Accurate.

@dekreel Ok; not going to lie, that last pic of me kind of creeps me out…

@rochellaine Haha; I was worried for a moment that I should have recognized your name on here long ago. xD No; you’re fine. I remember who you are now, and I remember enjoying talking to you since there weren’t a bunch of people who stopped by the booth for extended periods of time at CHAP. Glad to know you ended up making it over to the forum. 🙂

@dekreel Wow; well, I got to say you captured the standard opening thread replies and what I do when meeting newbies on the forum. xD

@rochellaine Were you one of the people I met at the CHAP conference last summer? Trying to remember when and where we met since I’m terrible with names. 😛

@mnvalentine @kaya-young Sweet! Send me an email (josiah@josiahdegraaf.com) and I’ll send you a link to the scripts. 🙂

@daeus Sending you the link, friend. Thanks muchly. 😀

@anne-of-lothlorien Wow; that’s perfect.

Holy cow, all of these memes are so perfect and I don’t even know where to begin. You all have seriously been making my week.

@jess-penrose That works!

@jess-penrose Yes–that looks great! Depending on the plot/genre of your story, it may be interesting to also have an answer that you can lose your right to freedom if it’s for the greater good of society. (I’m thinking of times of crisis where citizens or soldiers may be coerced to do things because otherwise the nation may be overrun.) That sort…[Read more]
