@That_Writer_Girl_99 yup. Sad truth. XD

@Dragon-Snapper I really, really like both of them. They’d be better with the music, but as that’s not quite the point… 😛 I probably like the first one a tiny bit better, just because I’m an INFP and it’s more mysterious than the second, but they’re both good. The others gave great advice; I’ve got…[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]

@His-Instrument I like it! The first page looks very nice and professional. However, I was wondering about the solid green background headers for the other pages. For one thing the green is a little glaring, and two it’s not that engaging just to have a blank sheet of color. Could you put pictures there?

*snorts* @Dragon-Snapper no! Of course not. I just want to make sure I study them both properly before I say anything. 😛

@DaughteroftheKing Yeah. What he said. XD

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

@DaughteroftheKing *excessively evil chuckling*

This topic.

I likey.

Well, it sounds like you have a good thing going already— he seems a very detailed, duplicitous character just on the surface without people knowing he’s got an evil layer, and that’s brilliant. If the character seems complete as he is (with his own little contradictions…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper what they all said.

I will just add that it’s definitely not an uncommon problem to have. There were times in the past two years as I waded through two drafts of my WIP that I just felt like going and drowning any capability of conscious thought in a deluge of mindless articles— anything to save myself from having to open my…[Read more]

@Aratrea I really like it!

First thing I noticed— in your bio you said, when you were describing KP, ‘through proficiency and purpose.’ I thought it was ‘with proficiency and purpose.’

If it’s possible, it might also be better to have your page options in a little bit bigger font. It took me a second and a few confused glances to find them.…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 sounds like a plan.

Ahhh… you can do it. 😉

@Cloudy just want to let you know I haven’t abandoned you; I’m going through the story bit by bit and formulating thoughts and such. 😉

@That_Writer_Girl_99 meh. Logic. Who cares about logic? 😛

Forget the logic for a sec. What is the most natural emotional course for the characters? Go wild. Not even kidding.
And one question that might give you some answers— what is the Warden going to do with Blake? What are they saying/doing, locked up in that office together?

*pulls out sword pen and sticks it behind her ear* How can I help?

@That_Writer_Girl_99

Oooooh, I like it!

There is one thing that could use tweaking though. Both Kara and Matthias seem a little scattered and unfocused as to their emotional state. Now they’re supposed to be; I know. They’re both confused. But the reader shouldn’t be. It’s not that both of them shouldn’t be struggling with several different emotions at once, but that…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 don’t think so. Heading over there now.
