I’ve been thinking about writing an article as well. I don’t know what topic you could do, but I’ve been told that it’s a good idea to do something that you’re passionate about and that you know well.

I asked @kathleenramm about writing an article a little while ago. She should be able to give you some pointers. I know that @kathleenramm @grace-j @joy-calle @r-m-archer

Ok. I tried to tag those who I know have done article before.

So I have some questions.

I’ve been thinking about writing an article to submit to KP for publishing… but I’m not sure where to start.

Could I have some help in tips on how to plan and write an article?

(Never done this non-f…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

To help ya out a bit, I know that @gracie-j @joy-calle @r-m-archer and @rachel-leitch all have. Can’t think of anybody else right now. 🙂

@soleilnaia

Great question!!

…

To which I don’t have the answer. Lol 😅

I think @gracie-j and @r-m-archer may have websites/blogs. They may be able to offer some insight on this. 🙂

@booksandbeakers, I believe my introduction post also vanished into the “pending moderation” void, which is why I may appear to have popped up unannounced. 🙂 I’ve also chosen the self-publishing/indie publishing route, and honestly, the formatting for paperbacks on KDP is not that bad. I did it myself in Microsoft Word, and while KDP told me my…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Thanks so much for all the helpful info! I’ll definitely be checking them out.

@daisy-torres @r-m-archer thank you both

yeah i know amazon isn’t great to support but if it works… gotta pick the lesser of the evils and difficulties i guess lol

I’ll check out LuLu though

@wilder-w

Ooo, good question! I have not published a novel yet, but I do know of a few ladies on here who have:

@gracie-j @issawriter7 @mkfairygirl @e-k-seaver @r-m-archer

Hopefully they can help! Wishing you the best!!! <3333

@issawriter7

Thank you so much for your advice! I found it really encouraging.

@avacoulter

Thank you! I am so sorry I haven’t posted anything for like, 6 weeks … I’ve been in a real slump and kinda discouraged with everything about websites and my writing in general. It’s a but of hard spell for me … I’m at one of those places where I’m wonderi…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Thank you so much for the advice! I might try that for different cultures/nations in one world! (I have three major ones, atm.) I have (*counts*) five different languages, besides the universal one (I think) and a similar amount of writing systems (based on the same basic runes, just different styles) and those come together with the…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Ooh, neat! I have a culture that avoids living on land, too, with more Maori and Hawaiian influence on the language and some Viking inspiration planned for their culture (and their hair, because Viking braids are epic).

Thanks! Yours sounds pretty neat too. Viking braids are great. My sisters and I actually do a variation of one of…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Isn’t it?

They are interesting. So, those particular cultures are mostly concentrated in the VoyageFolk. They dress like the Norse and the Rus, speak like the Rus, and live like the Northmen in that they avoid living on land. At all. (with some of my own invention to blend them all.)

I have found it intriguing to study (ha, ha, that…[Read more]

WORLD BUILDING!!

I’ll try not to rant too much.

I love world building, and the great news is that I have two WIPs with two very different worlds to form. Huzzah!

And I get to use them as excuses to read random articles on the formation of the Baltic/slav tribes, whether the Saxons used slings, and what kind of bread was…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

WHYYYYY are you so smart??? XD I should really try to be simpler about my naming…

BUT SUFFERING CREATIVE WITHDRAWALS IS SO MUCH MORE FUUNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!

Also…

the reference though…

*Pointedly ignores the fact that it’s randomly snowing which decided to murder all the daisies even though it’s May*

Also I just have to say that…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

That would be fascinating, and it definitely does sound fun to do. 😉

Ugh, I’ve got quite the list of those! XD

@r-m-archer

The book you say? Hmmm. I’ll have to say I haven’t read it, (or watched it, other than a few clips of the play.) but it definitely sounds interesting! All I’ve heard about the book is that it is completely different from the play (or musical, or any of it for that matter. XD)

@kathleenramm

Certainly! They’re all good, in my own most humble opinion. (Of course they are, ’cause why would I mention them if they weren’t? XD)

Scout, Riffles for Watie by Harold Keith, and Snow Treasure, are all not exactly classics. I think RfW was written around 1957, ST around 1942, and Scout was sometime in the 50’s-60’s(Not sure). A…[Read more]
