@abby1 Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!
I do believe you’re the first New Zealander we’ve ever had. How did you find us?
What types of books do you like to write?

Daeus replied to the topic Poems by Alfred the Great in the forum Poetry 8 years, 4 months ago
@supermonkey42 @dekreel Glad you enjoyed these. 😀
Reeding the advertisement in this and the notes on some of the poems, I’m actually getting the impression with this book, that it was not the original poetry of Alfred, but translated for Boethius, a Latin poet. However, it seems that Alfred was liberal with his translation and he made some…[Read more]

@NotAWriter Shockingly enough, I do have a top favorite book. It’s Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. I think I’ve heard of your favorite book/series, though I haven’t read it.
@Dekreel Oh right, my bad. 😛 I think he doesn’t write, no.

Eh, it’s all right, I trust you. 😛 Wikipedia is great though.
Yeah. I’m definitely more on the consuming end in this area. Like, all the way. XD When Douglas gets older though, we’ll see where he goes. He might not ultimately end up using a program such as Blender, ’cause he got this thing for his birthday that’s some kind of tablet…[Read more]

Yup, that does make sense. Robots are pretty cool things. 😀
Yeah, there are so many different ways robots could look I can imagine it’d be hard to settle on exactly what you want.

Daeus started the topic The Good Friends Platform League in the forum Publishing & Platform 8 years, 4 months ago
Greeting Keepers!
A lot of us are starting to build platforms now, or at least we plan to very soon. I’ve been platform building longer than most, and I’ve found that the #1 inhibitor of growth is that platform building is easy to forget about.
I thought, why not build a community for accountability and sharing?
(Note: I couldn’t think of a…[Read more]

@notawriter Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet.
Have you read The Count Of Monte Cristo? The Mistborn trillogy? Crime and Punishment? Cry The Beloved Country?
A favorite verse? Aaah! *beads of cold sweat* Well, if I had to pick, I’d probably go with. 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 “For the love of Christ controls us, since we have concluded…[Read more]

@NotAWriter Welcome to the bestistest place on the Internet!
As far as I know, I’m the only other non-writer on here. *wrings your hand quite crazily* Very good to have ya! Learning and talking about it with writer sisters is awesome. @Kate-Flournoy ‘s mine (older), and her characters are ones I daydream about. 😉
Do you have a favorite book?

Daeus replied to the topic Platform and Marketing in the forum Publishing & Platform 8 years, 4 months ago
No, 150 is not too audacious. It’s not easy, but it’s certainly manageable. You could even aim higher if you wanted to push yourself.
Fyi, if you’re going to market yourself on Pinterest, you’ll have to create a business account. (it’s free and the only major difference from a normal account is that it allows you to run paid ads if you…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic I Gotta Get Me Some Writing Books in the forum Non-Fiction 8 years, 4 months ago
@winter-rose The KP resource library has a list of good writing books I would check out.
As for marketing books, I’d recommend Your First 10,000 Readers and The Book Launch Blueprint by Tim Grahl. I think those are probably the most solid marketing books I’ve read. I remember How To Market A Book by Joanna Pen having some good ideas too. You may…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 While the perfectionist in me is wrestling with the fact that my crown should be falling off, I have to say this is really hilarious.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Heroes in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 4 months ago
@epicaddie2 ooh, good topic. I can think of several different definitions right off the top of my head.
A hero is someone who does the right thing even when no one notices.
A hero is someone who does the right thing even when others condemn him for it.
A hero is someone who is wise enough to see the world clearly and foolish enough to love it…[Read more]

@mariposa Great topic. I’m looking forward to what other people have to say.
For myself, I haven’t yet built a platform I can really base a business on, but I know that’s mainly my fault for not giving platform building enough attention. I have done a couple things with platform building though, and while some of them did not work, some of them…[Read more]
