*appears* I come to write!

Shirley Temple was great. 🙂 @mariposa

@sage-g Whoa…
@mariposa Whoa…
@dekreel Nice! I like manga too! Yours is good.
@dragon-snapper Ohh…
@jessi-Rae *Grins* You made Snow White an assassin? I may draw her. Maybe. *is not that good at drawing curly hair right, so, we’ll see* *also must find time, it’s always hiding under things* I like fairy tale rewrites.
*whispers* Why is…[Read more]

@sage-g @dekreel @mariposa @dragon-snapper Those are all amazing! 😀

I have a character someone can draw, if they want to (though I unfortunately won’t be able to draw a character in return, as I’m not gifted in drawing or painting or anything like that). Her name’s Darcy, and she’s a 17-year-old princess and assassin with fair snow-white s…[Read more]

@mariposa, Wow! Thanks so much! I’m getting a really good image of what my MC (Evelyn) looks like by combining the several sketches you guys are doing. @sage-g, @dekreel. 🙂

@mariposa  You, my dear, astonish me!!!  That is…wow.

@itisastarrynight
I wont say I toldya so :p haha.

@mariposa Wow! You are really good with colored pencils! 😀

@sage-g I actually own a few copic caios, though Im not too handy with them(they’re amazing tho) . @notawriter thought you did use some alcohol based markers, but the colors were way too light and blended for my eyes to believe it.
@mariposa The facial anatomy looks amazing!

@livgiordano I get your concern, I think the same thing a lot too. Actually on @mariposa ‘s blog (thetinytealtypewriter.com) she just did a post kinda about this that might help answer your questions.

@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]

@anne-of-lothlorien @mariposa Actually, statistics show that people are far more likely to read an email that has just text. People say they like pictures, but when it actually comes down to it, they distrust emails with pictures in them. Of course, it depends on your niche, but I think it’s most likely your audience will pay more attention to you…[Read more]

Oops. @mariposa.

And I will say that you should try to make the emails visually attractive. Put color in, with photos, maybe a logo for your blog, artwork, etc. Everyone likes to read something more than a page of black lines.

@mariposa @livgiordano Okay, got it! 😊

Btw, guys do you think 3 POVs is too many?

@daeus @jane-maree @mariposa @daughteroftheking @sam-kowal @seekjustice @radically-surrendered @kballen @aratrea @livgiordano @notawriter @itisastarrynight @skredder @audrey-caylin

@mariposa Yeah, I’ll probably ask people for title ideas when I more plot figured out

@daughteroftheking I agree. I want one of the main characters to be in the government, one of the soldiers or something. I don’t think I’ve read any dystopian books, but I have watched movies. So hopefully that’s just enough to kinda know what I’m doing but not…[Read more]

@mariposa I think offering a short story if you sign up for the email is a good idea. Nadine Brandes offers you to enter a $10 dollar Amazon giveaway if you sign up for her emails, which is a good idea too, since sooooo many people use Amazon. And since you’re so good at drawing, I think offering something related to that is good too. Downloadable…[Read more]
