They give you an advance, yes, but you have to give that back if you don’t sell enough copies. Plus, you make SUCH a smaller percentage of every book that is sold.

On top of that, Traditional publishers just don’t promote books like they…[Read more]

It’s considered one of the greatest love stories of all time but it’s not a love story, and it’s not great.

It’s really just a story about the two most unbelievably selfish and stupid teenagers of all time. It’s also just cheesy.

But I guess one could say it does a decent job of being a cautionary tale of what can happen to…[Read more]

Awesome!

We’ll start recording our pilot season as soon as possible then!

A few of the show ideas we have right now are:

– Just Hit Publish (Why creators need to create and publish more)
– How to manage your time as a creative so you get…[Read more]

Maybe we’ll do a pilot season and release some episodes and see what you guys think of it. 🙂

I know we have a lot of multi-talented creatives on here (people who create more than one kind of art).

I’ve been toying with the idea of creating a “show” talking about how to grow a following and income from your art.

I was wondering if this would be something people would be interested in, or if would be too broad since it would be…[Read more]

This also just shows the need for you, and Kingdom Pen, and Christians to get back involved in shaping the culture and our institutions.

Do you have any recordings of your singing anywhere online?

I sing by necessity but I don’t really consider myself a singer since I don’t particularly like my voice and don’t think that I’m very good. Here’s an example. 

Hence why I’m always trying to find new vocalists.

Have you read our free guide yet on how to become an unstoppable writer?

For those who have, what are your thoughts on it? Was it helpful? Do you feel unstoppable? Or do you still have questions?

@Leon-fleming Thanks! And that’s cool you’ve written some songs too! And I can totally understand the struggle of finding the time. It’s definitely been hard for me to keep up with both music and writing.

And that’s great you’ve got a couple of my songs! Glad you like them!

And by micro-genre I mean you want to get really niched down as far as what genre your music falls into.

If you try to target fans of piano music for example, you’re a very small fish in a very big pond, and even if you are discovered, your music isn’t as likely to resonate.

Instead you want to dig…[Read more]

Andromeda Coast · Robot City – Demo

Piano-pop/piano-rap…kinda like Twenty One Pilots then? Haha! That’s cool!

Ah, so more of a getting started with marketing advice?

I’m personally about going the Indie route and not signing to a label these days.

I actually have a guide that gives an overview of how…[Read more]

Congrats on already having a novella finished! And Fantasy and Sci-fi are right up my alley! My first novel, and the one I’m currently rewriting, is actually called “Frozen Fire”, which sounds pretty similar to “Fire and Ice”. haha!

And hey, another music composer! I do as well! Do you have any recorded…[Read more]

I write all of the music for my songs. I just use virtual instruments for the most part, and yeah, other software to arrange and mix. Here’s a short clip of what it looks like. 

And nothing to be nervous about! Everyone starts somewhere! 🙂

1. I love TwentyOne Pilots! My sister actually went to school with Tyler Joseph, and I started a band with a guy who used to play with him.

2. Rak Chazak!

3. That’s so cool you’re a songwriter! So am I! I actually have a Synth-pop band called Andromeda Coast. Do you write any music as well?

Glad to have you back!

Thanks, @skredder !

Hope this helps!

And yeah, obviously, you don’t want to spoil your story before you publish it. You don’t want to give everything away. Just give little teasers, and of course, talk about your process of creating your novel, because that doesn’t give anything away, but increases interest.

One thing you might want to do is look at what other…[Read more]

Hope it helps!
