Gotcha. Like I said, I just wanted to make sure that had been done first. If that’s not getting anywhere, then this does make good sense, and I hope the new site does well!

Maybe an obvious question–and I haven’t watched the whole presentation, yet, so I apologize if it was already covered–but why not just… put this “I’d be willing to moderate!” effort toward increasing the team of Kingdom Pen? Why not volunteer here instead of splitting the user-base, if there’s really loyalty toward Kingdom Pen and wanting to…[Read more]

Yay! I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

Can I ask what you’re pasting from? When I was copying and pasting from Gdocs, I always had to paste into a Word document in between or it would all paste into Scrivener in overlapping lines. 😛 Unfortunately, for some reason, Gdocs and Scrivener don’t seem to like to play nice.

@theducktator

Thanks for commenting! I’m glad the posts were helpful!

I filled out the survey. As a technical note, you may want to change the question about average phone use—either to take text input rather than a number only, or to be more specific (e.g. “how many hours do you spend on your phone on average per day“)—so that your data is more clear. I input the daily average hours my phone has tracked and…[Read more]

I love to discuss worldbuilding! How I approach the worldbuilding process depends on the world. I have three main worlds I revisit, so I have three main processes, which I laid out in a blog post a few years ago.

There are certain factors that overlap among all of my worlds:

• I always have some core framework in mind–whether that’s a timeline…

I don’t know the answers to all of these questions simply because my experience doesn’t cover all of them, but I can say:

2. Yes. I actually keep my Scrivener files on an external drive so that I can easily switch between my desktop and laptop (both Windows computers), so I don’t need to move said files, but prior to that I did keep copies on…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon Thank you! I’m glad they were both helpful to you!

Aw, thanks! It’s good to be around! I can’t keep up much (it might help a little if I changed my KP email address so I get notifications to an email I check more regularly… though that wouldn’t help with the obstacle of busyness, lol), but I try to pop in when I have time and…[Read more]

We’ll see if KP lets me post the link or not, but I actually have a blog post all about how to approach the creation of allegorical/pseudo-allegorical religions!

@booksandbeakers

Traditional publishing. A traditional publisher won’t charge you anything, they’ll only take a cut of the profit when your book sells. Spending money on marketing would be the only expense.

Yes, I used KDP. I tried IngramSpark for my last book and gave up because it was such a pain and way more expensive, so I went back to KDP.…[Read more]

Traditional vs. Indie publishing

@booksandbeakers

M’kay, KP is liable to eat my post if I try to put links in it, so I’m going to lay everything out and then post individual links to each post I reference. I apologize in advance for how obnoxious that is, lol.

If you’d rather save money than time and you want a great-quality end result, traditional publishing is the way you…[Read more]

@felicity

I’ve self-published a standalone short story, two short story collections, and a novel. I prefer self-publishing, personally, for the freedom it provides and for the opportunity to work with my own choice of collaborators (editors, artists, etc.), but I would like to try traditional publishing down the road as well for the sake of…[Read more]

@felicity My pleasure!

I can’t figure out her tag. That’s frustrating. I’ll have to look into that.

But here’s a direct link to my post on her blog, as well, so you don’t have to scroll down and find it.
