@Jenwriter17 I concur with the others and say that 3 POVs is fine.

I’ve found a couple of posts on Helping Writers Become Authors that you might find helpful:

@Mariposa artwork would probably fit the bill too. Remember that you don’t have to stick with the one option forever. You can play around with every email you send out. 😛

@Daeus I’m curious that you say that. When I sent out my first newsletter I had no pictures or anything and the biggest lot of feedback I got was for “more photos and…[Read more]

@seekjustice Thanks. 😀 I’m going to sign out now. It’s getting a bit late where I am. Thanks for writing with me! And I hope your plotting goes well.

@seekjustice I’m trying to write the last in the trilogy of Sector One. But I just started and beginning books is always hard for me. You know, getting back into the flow of voice and stuff. *groan*

Anywho, have you read any of Sector One?

@seekjustice I suppose a revolution requires brain work. XD

@seekjustice Are you still there?

@Mariposa I started up an email list last year, and I can confirm that the biggest incentive that got people signing up was having a cool giveaway. They had to sign up to enter the giveaway.

As for content, make sure there’s pictures. Aesthetic photos/photos of life/random pictures you’ve taken. They don’t have to be good quality, because…[Read more]

@SeekJustice well this is an interesting topic… XD

Okay so, I think everyone else has got some pretty good ideas. Personally I think an idea like euthanasia would be abused and executions would be said to the public to be “for the good of the people.” Think some sort of poison/drug injected directly into a vein that kills them in a few seconds.

@Sam-Kowal aw cool.

WELL PERFECT TIMING FOR THAT QUESTION. I actually just finished reading The Way of Kings a few days ago and I’m planning on starting Words of Radiance soon. I don’t normally read epic fantasy books so I was reluctant to try these ones but @Hope and my sisters ganged up and convinced me to give them a shot. And I’m absolutely…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper yes, I do! 🙂 I started one several months ago, so here’s a basic overview of how to do it.

1. Go to Mailchimp.com There are other email services to use, but I’d recommend that one. NOTE: they will ask for your address. It’s law for them to do this. My family has a PO Box, so it’s no big deal, but if you’re uncomfortable using…[Read more]

@daeus @audrey-caylin Thanks for the awesome tips! I’ll try to do as many as I can! 😀

Now, about the email list…I don’t actually know how to make one of those. Either you know?

@dragon-snapper

That’s a really good question! I think your blog will be a huge help with that. If you don’t have access to social media to help grow it, I’d suggest doing just what you’ve been doing — going around and commenting on blogs, leaving a link to yours in the comments. If you really engage with other bloggers, you’ll get more…[Read more]
