@jenwriter17 I agree with everyone else here. Three POVs isn’t too many—just make sure you aren’t headhopping between characters. Always insert a scene break before switching POVs. 🙂

@jenwriter17 No need to apologize! Long is good, especially when it’s packed with helpful information. Thank you for your input and advice! 🙂 It’s really helping me to formulate my ideas and strategies.

@jane-maree Cool! I’d probably do a giveaway then, like a chance to win an illustration for their book or perhaps a free portrait of themselves.
I rarely take photos so do you think artwork would suffice in place of that? And perhaps Aberdeen comics?
Thank you so much for your advice, Jane! 🙂

@aratrea Actually, my email list subcribing is rather…rare (I only subscribe to 2 right now). I usually prefer to pop into someone’s blog once a week rather than subscribe to an email list. 😜 I don’t even “follow” blogs in the normal sense by clicking the follow button; I just save their blogs to my favorites list and regularly check them. I…[Read more]

@livgiordano I like the idea of exclusive artwork. I post about 4 pictures per month on my blog, but I could always reduce that to 2 a month and have the other 2 be for my subscribers. I’m planning on writing an ongoing series of short stories featuring the same characters which I might include in my email list also (probably with i…[Read more]

Okay. I’ve been checking for posts, I just haven’t gotten around to commenting yet. Your blog looks good! 😉

@Jenwriter17 *facepalm* Riiight. I couldn’t remember if I had tagged you before, so sorry about that.

That’s okay! 😉

@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

I’m seriously considering creating an email list and I needed y’all’s sage advice. What are some ways to attract people to sign up? A free ebook is a good incentive, but right now I haven’t any books to offer. 😉 I was debating about having free short stories like Josiah, but I also thought about offering a free downloadable card (if that’s p…[Read more]

@livgiordano Thanks. 😊 I know what you mean about writing consuming your life—I used to have time for so many things…like baking, running people over (on the wii 😜), playing emoji blitz… *sigh* 😥 Now it’s either writing or art, or art or writing (or the forum, but that sort of counts as writing, doesn’t it?). 😉 But I love writing so much that…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Hmm…different title…maybe something like “Forced Allegiance” ? I’m really not sure; I’d have to know more of the plot. 🙂
I like @skredder’s idea of having the resistance be bad too.

@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?

Daeus replied to the topic Irrational or Rational? in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 3 months ago
@inkling-for-christ I’m not sure that fangirl automatically equals dreamer, but definitely dreaming is not irrational. I’d like to debate anyone who thought so. *roars*
I might come back here and rant about that sometime.
In the meantime though, I think that’s a cool story idea and if you need any help writing guys, I could help. Guys are not…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Do you/will you soon have an email list? You can build your platform entirely on your blog, but it just makes sense to have an email list along with your blog and an email list is a better way to sell things. Most importantly, and email list is permanent unless your followers unsubscribe. A blog follower is more likely to stick…[Read more]

Hey guys! I know that KP has lots of articles on this, but some of the options of building a reader base aren’t open to me. Like social media. I can’t do much of that.
Do you guys have any suggestions as to how I can promote my blog and writing to build a reader base?
