I guess I could do something like this: 

@kate-flournoy Okay, here’s what that could look like with a border. The problem with borders is that I can’t find any that are adjustable, so I have to find one that’s just the right size and look. Looking at this, I think it would look better with a border that encompassed the whole lower half. I could get a different banner/plate for the top…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy True. I was going to do something like that, but I couldn’t figure out how, so…I didn’t do anything like that. 😛

But I can do some sort of border. I’ll play with it.

Okay, unless anybody think’s it’s a terrible idea, I’m planning to use this for a writing school I’m launching this coming year.

My general impression of Pinterest leads me to think that quotes are good to post there, so I thought I’d do some short writing tip graphics. To make it easy on…[Read more]

@his-instrument Another option is to add in an extra prologue or chapter in the beginning that has a very different tone just to give the reader something positive to latch onto.

@dekreel One thing I noticed is that most of your sentences are very similar in length. It would help to vary that up a bit. Have some run-on sentences and some normal and some very short.

Identical thoughts to @daeus Good premise, and if the entire story isn’t going to be as dark in the first chapters, you just want to include enough glimpses of light to indicate that. I don’t personally have a problem with dark, depressing stories when there’s a point to them, but you don’t want to unintentionally indicate that’s the type of story…[Read more]

@his-instrument I love the plot line.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to read the first chapters, but just some thoughts. I think you can set a tone in these first chapters that lets your reader know you’re not out to scare them. If you don’t get too graphic with the murder and torture scene and you give the reader one or two, morally good, hopeful…[Read more]

@catwing *yesI’mhiatusing* Yep, that’s it! 😀 Dr. Bones said it. *backtohiatusing*

@dekreel *stops doing hiatus and looks* Yes, it’s epic, isn’t it? 😀 I want one on my wall.

*returns to land of nothingness*

@lifeofkatie Okay, thanks. That helps. I think I’m going to give it a try. 😀

@introvert_girl That makes sense, though I think I’ll create all my own pins.

@gabbyj I did–it was a great experience! It worked quite differently then than I believe it does now, but I learned a lot of Scripture passages through that and grew a lot because of it over these three years.

That’s great that you’ve been able to discover new authors through our interviews. 😀 I’m thrilled that we’re able to interview so many…[Read more]

@dekreel Btw, if you want to learn more about this, K.M.Wieland has a whole book on it. 😉

@jenwriter17 It’s actually done already. 🙂 http://www.thescratchingquill.com/the-golden-ziggurat/

@introvert_girl @kate-flournoy @seekjustice

Thanks for your replies!

So, I’ve read and listened to some stuff about Pinterest and I think if there is a social media site that would fit me, this would probably be it. I think I’ll probably give it a try, but before I commit to anything I like to have a strategy for how I’m going to use it.

I have…[Read more]

I suppose I should make one then.

“Is that classical music?”

@perfectfifths @ingridrd @catwing @supermonkey42 @daughteroftheking @dekreel

And now for a question of my own.

Would your character rather go to a political celebration or a Christmas party.

Ike would rather go to a political celebration.

Perfectfifths Ike would rather be chased by ringwraiths.
@whoever asked this question: Go to a tea party, believe or not.
@catwing Would rather wear a very fancy suit.
@singforjoy He would rather be deaf, cause then he couldn’t listen to what people were telling him to do. XD
@perfectfifths Bossy chimp. It’d be a nice way to practice banter.…[Read more]
