@kate-flournoy Well, maybe someday. (You know, like when gifs start working for you.)

@Daeus my luck says this gif won’t work, but here you go anyway.
Awesome stuff. You should, like… I don’t know, do a course on it or something. XD

Hi friends,
@that_writer_girl_99 asked me how I include the gospel in my stories without sounding cheesy. I figured I’d share my thoughts publically here so we can all participate in this discussion.
First of all, let me point out that this isn’t a dissection of the large topic of theme — this is just one part of that. Theme is about more than…[Read more]

@Celticcailin heyy so yes I do songwriting and composition and play half a dozen musical instruments and study musical theory. If you want me to check out lyrics and/or melody or whatever, feel free to add me to the email. 😉 I’d have to look over the song before I could give you much useful feedback though.…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic Outlining – Love It or Hate It? in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 7 months ago
I use K.M.Wieland’s outlining system for outlining my novel. I only do basic outlines of chapters when I come to them. I also keep a long bullet list of random ideas for my story and many of these ideas end up getting woven into the plot.

Daeus replied to the topic Outlining – Love It or Hate It? in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 7 months ago
I love outlining (or, at least I love how it works for me) and I don’t think I know anybody who has tried outlining and been disappointed by it. I also know a couple people who have tried outlining and been happy they did.
At the same time, I don’t recommend outlining everything. Your story needs room to evolve. If you outline too deeply, you’ll…[Read more]

Hey guys! 😀 So seems like everyone’s taking a hiatus. 😛 I’m going to as well. Whatnot with NaNo, School, blogging and trying to get my book ready for publication, I need more time than I have. So I shall return, but for now, I’m on a vacation. I’ll still be posting on my blog and I’ll be on facebook too. 😀 Visit me!

@valtmy You can public message a few people and then share the doc directly with them.

@dekreel As a connoisseur of endings, I have to say you did a great job. Now I love Kingdom Pen even more. 🙂

Alright, here’s how my crazy idea will work if you’re willing to join on. Basically, I want to hire you as a short term ambassador for me.
Here’s the details. It requires that you think other people would like to read my stories. The work you’d do is contact people you know and briefly share this link with them where they can get an…[Read more]
-
@daeus Okay! That makes sense! (Is this where I ask the questions, or do I email you?)
So I’m looking on your link. Basically when people push it does it automatically sign them up for your newsletter?
One problem is I don’t use social media… Could I print out some advertisements and give them out at church or school? Would texting also…[Read more]
-
You can contact me here if you prefer it to email, yes.
You’re correct that when someone signs up for the book, they are subscribed. (Fyi, the newsletter goes out about once a month.)
You know what, thanks for the suggestion about tracking visitors. I realized I’m able to do something of the sort. This is your personal link for getting signups.…[Read more]
-
@daeus Oh, wow, thanks! I’ve already sent out the link to a couple friends and family… 😉 Or is it too early for that? o.o
When you say “collect subscribers manually,” do you mean keep track of who signs up for the newsletter and making a log out of it? I think that makes sense…
Mannn, I wish my server would let me download your…[Read more]

Yeah, you can get started now and you have the right idea with the signup sheet. Just two columns with the name and email.
If you want to email me, I can manually send you the book as soon as I get a chance.

Hmm. Maybe a browser issue? I just tried it and it worked for me.

Hi @dekreel,
I wanted to check in and see how things are going.
I saw one person signed up through your link so far. Great job!!!
One of the reasons I asked if you’d like to volunteer for this is because I could use some practice mentoring people through how to do this. So if it’s fine by you, I would really appreciate it if I could have a…[Read more]

Hiya, @daeus! It’s going pretty well. Thanks for checking in. 🙂 Good! That’s something. XD
So far I have only reached out to about four or five people. Mostly family and a couple friends. I did most of it over text messages, saying something like, “A friend of mine recently published his book, and I was wondering if you’d like to read it for…[Read more]

Oh, wait, you already said I was an “ambassador.” Never mind… XD
-
Ah, glad you were able to read it! @dekreel
You can call yourself an ambassador or promoter person. Whichever you like. 🙂
That text looks good, though if you don’t mind, I think it would be great if we could experiment with some slightly different texts to see if we can get better results. So, right now, a quarter of the people you’ve…[Read more]

Aw, you too?! *sniffs* this is too much.
Well I hope you have a great hiatus! 🙂 We’ll have to have some celebratory part when you, Dekreel, and Warren return. 😉 when do you think you’ll be back?
Not you too! *sighs* When will you return? Can I still tag you?
@jenwriter17 @ariel-ashira Absolutely you can still tag me. 🙂 I just might not be able to respond all the time, but I love hearing from you all. <3
And I expect to return within a week or few. Certainly no longer than May 1.
@dragon-snapper Okay! 😀 At least you guys aren’t taking super long hiatuses 🙂
*waves good bye to another friend* Please return… You will be missed.
So long for now, Chosen Kid. :3
