@emma-flournoy Okay.
Did anybody else feel “The Time Traveler who wasn’t ready” was off at all? @kate-flournoy @emily @josiahdeboer @catwing @northerner

@Kate-Flournoy Galadriel is having a bit of a mid-life crisis. She’ll be over it soon.

I just read that story you had on it, The Broken Scythe. Wow…I have chills, seriously. I love it! 🙂 I’ve always liked your writing, @kate-flournoy.

Sure, I will. 🙂 Be sure to share yours, too. I can’t wait to read it, @kate-flournoy .

I’m actually making a blog too, @kate-flournoy , mainly to give me practice in writing and sharing my work regularly. My blog is mostly for non-fiction though, articles and snippets of stuff, but I also hope to use it to build my platform. (I’m not overly concerned with that at this point though. I’m just focused on developing my writing…[Read more]

I really don’t think I’m the right person to help you out on this @kate-flournoy, especially since… well, you’re one of the people who helps me with my writing the most.
But I’ll be praying that you find a solution to this.

Hey, @kate-flournoy ! It’s been a while. 🙂
I was just rereading a book (I highly recommend, especially for new or struggling writers) called “Writer…Uninterrupted,” and it asked that I make a list of people who were on my writing “team,” like “List the one teammate you would call when you are in trouble on your quest.” I realized that I…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy If getting a good mentor is possible, I’d definitely seize on the opportunity. Like @his-instrument, I downplayed the importance for a while. Then I found one. And while I currently only have one on the publishing/marketing/business end of things, it’s insanely helpful and is going to help me avoid a lot of pitfalls. If I could find…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy All in all, I like it.
I was thinking for a while if it would be better for you to not have a blog and have an email list only, but after reflecting on it, I don’t think that would be best. That is, as long as you plan to blog for a while. Is blogging something you see yourself doing for many years to come, or are you mainly…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Sure. I only have one rule. Don’t pick apart my brain.
And actually, if you don’t mind me saying so, I wouldn’t start your blog and then come up with your plan for building your platform. I would come up with your plan first and then (if it’s the right thing to do) start a blog.

@kate-flournoy *cackle* *cackle* Yes. Indie is good. Have you thought about starting a platform anytime soon?

Daeus replied to the topic Mentorship in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 9 months ago
@kate-flournoy First of all, I can’t imagine why you would have to have a mentor to succeed. Methinks there have been plenty of authors who have succeeded without mentors. Here are my other thoughts.
1. You don’t need one on one training. You can learn everything you ever need to know from courses, forums, group mentoring, etc, etc.
2. There is…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Possibly. I mean, certainly, but I don’t know if the other options will sound good. “The unready time traveler” doesn’t strike me as very good. 😉
Anyway, I don’t think length is a very big problem. I’ll think through alternatives though.

@kate-flournoy The Time Traveler Who Wasn’t Ready actually ties in with the almost last line.
“Art ready, sir?”
