@kate-flournoy Yes. It’s a self-paced video course, so you can definitely watch it at your own pace, whether that’s doing a couple a week or binge-watching a bunch of sessions at once. 😉

Feedback-wise, we’ve set up a bunch of short four-question surveys you can fill out after watching each lesson so you don’t need to give feedback on the whole…[Read more]

ACK! I NEED THIS!
Quick question— is this something I can do on my own time because March fifteenth is the due-date of my newest sibling… are there set times or can I weave this in how I need to to get it to you guys when you need it?

Howdy friends,

This is to make sure you see the announcement. If this piques your interest but you aren’t sure if it’s for you, if you have any technical questions, untechnical questions, or general comments, I’ll be here to answer them.

Alrighty friends, now see if you can help me with a subtitle here. I’ve got a couple ideas, and I want to see what strikes your interest the most. Pick your top four, as long as that many actually catch your attention.

If you haven’t seen the cover yet, look one page back on this topic. It should be a bit cleaner when done and have a stronger…[Read more]

I’ll be writing for an hour here if anyone wants to join. @dragon-snapper @winter-rose.

@winter-rose That’s such a cool idea! Lights in the dark always fascinated me. (Tangled, anyone?) Good luck!

@dragon-snapper *ducks flying sparks of glee*

@S-G-Dewey It’s hard to boil down exactly what I write, because honestly, I write everything. But technically, you could call me a fantasy author. 😉 And PUDDLEGLUM. Just…yes. “The bright side of it is, if we break our necks getting down the cliff, then we’re safe from drowning in the river.” XD

@ethryndal *takes blue ribbon from your hands* 😛

@dragon-snapper Dragons always win. 🙂

Yep, Kate’s right. Don’t worry. It’s not the new style.

@Sarah-H I think they’re copyright markings for until the cover’s finished, so no one can steal it.

@emma-flournoy Thanks. Do you mean the whole cover, or just Edwin should be less dark?

Here’s another question for y’all. Do you think I should change the scarlet font to a different color? I think that might do a lot to give it a more historical action, less murder story feel. If so, any suggestions? Gold maybe?

Heh. Yeah. Nobody likes those covers. 😛

Yes, now that you mention it the name probably should be bigger. Not huge, but bigger than it is. I’ve a new appreciation for the size of names on covers after spending fifteen minutes at the library just examining covers… it was shocking how many titles were squished into the corner just to make room for a gargantuan name. :/ Anyway. Yes. I…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Ah, good. The sword and axe was the main thing I wanted an opinion on. Also, it just came to my mind that the name might actually look better a little larger. I normally like them small, but I feel like a small increase would give it a more balanced feel. You think that’s right?

So here’s a question, I showed the cover to my mom and she got quite a different impression than I did. I felt like it gave the story a more historical action feel, whereas she thought it gave the cover a cheap murder story feel. She also thought the guy was holding some sort of sword or gun in his hand (that’s what she mistook the flames licking…[Read more]

*screams* @Hope you deserted me!

Oh wait, I can do this. Yeah. I’m fine. 😉

@Daeus I love it. Nothing really to complain of that I can see. I do think the picture of the man is a little fuzzy, but that may be just the distraction of all the watermarks and such on the cover. I love the crossed axe and sword. Overall, I find it very eye-catching and engaging.

Never mind. I will leave you in @kate-flournoy‘s capable hands.
