@perfectfifths Not too late! 😀
I do have music for each. The first one is a bit slower than the second. I do plan to record them, I just have to get a half-decent mic. 😀

Thanks for your input everyone! I do think I’ll be going with the first one, with the addition of a few edits to make it more organized, and straightforward. Also, good input…[Read more]

@hope @jane-maree Don’t worry, guys. I totally understand saying no. No is probably a more important word that yes is, don’t you think? 😀
Although, I will tag a few others…

@dragon-snapper Congratulationssssssssssssss! Unfortunately, I don’t have the time for beta reading. 🙁 Too much to do, too little time. But I wish you all the best and if you have questions about the publication process itself, I’d be happy to help. 🙂

@Aratrea The advantage of a follow button is that you’ll get followers that way who aren’t otherwise committed enough to actually sign up to a newsletter. Depending settings, they will automatically get an email when you post something and your post will show up in their reader feed. I know there are a number of blogs I follow because it just…[Read more]

@daeus 42 poems.
It is 81 Word Doc pages, single space, 12pt font. 9900 words. I may take out a few poems, but I haven’t decided yet.

@kate-flournoy Haha! *bows* Thanks!
No worries. I get it…life tends to be busy…for some reason… 😛

@Dragon-Snapper dahhhh!!! CONGRATULATIONS AUGH I’M SO EXCITED FOR YOU HOORAY FOR CADET SNAPPER AND THE VALIANT FIRST ASSAULT!

I… would love to do this for you, except I’ve promised myself not to take on any more projects until I get two or three of my others wrapped up. 🙁 If it’s still up for beta-reading once that happens, I might be able…[Read more]

OOH @SleepwalkingMK I know that one! I wasn’t playing ’cause I don’t technically have time but I can’t resist. Till We Have Faces. 😀 Your favorite book.

@hope Thanks for the advice on page order. That makes sense. The email follow is for the “newsletter,” but I’ll be posting infrequently enough that I’ll be sending an email every time a blog post goes out. What do you mean by follow buttons? And what do you see as being the advantages of allowing WP-follow as opposed to funneling readers to…[Read more]

@northerner @winter-rose @jess @kate-flournoy @daeus @daughteroftheking @ethryndal @graciegirl @anyone else
I’m writing. I’m not sure for how long, but I’m here regardless.

@kate-flournoy Well, I’ll likely be recording them and entering that into the contest…So yeah…people seem to be liking the first one better as of now.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 yup. Sad truth. XD

@Dragon-Snapper I really, really like both of them. They’d be better with the music, but as that’s not quite the point… 😛 I probably like the first one a tiny bit better, just because I’m an INFP and it’s more mysterious than the second, but they’re both good. The others gave great advice; I’ve got…[Read more]

@his-instrument What Daeus said. You’ll only ever have one blog page (though you can change which page your blog posts go it, be it blog or writing or something else). But each post you can add to one or more categories and then you can link categories in your menu so when you click on writing, all the blog posts that are categorized under writing…[Read more]

@his-instrument, @dragon-snapper *springs to attention* Did someone call? Beta reading and email exchanges, is it? I think you’ve already emailed Kingdom Pen with your email, @dragon-snapper. You can do the same thing, @his-instrument. Just email Kingdompenmag@gmail.com and give me your real name and forum name so I know who you are, then I can…[Read more]

Also, I’d recommend getting easy ‘follow’ buttons on your site. There’s the email follow, but I’m not sure if that is for the blog or newsletter. And a WordPress follow button would be very helpful to your readers.

@Aratrea I really like it! Everyone else has touched on things I would mention – mainly that it is very much a ‘story first’ blog rather an an ‘author first’ blog. Which is great, if you plan on just posting about your stories. If you plan on posting articles or stuff about yourself, you might want to change that aspect of it, even if it is just…[Read more]

@his-instrument I shall now proceed to tag @hope. 😛
