Kimmi,
That is amazing and heart-wrenching. Very evocative and poignant. Great job!
Some pain can only be mitigated by being present and connected.
Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep. [Romans 12:15 NLT]

I lean against the door post, looking through the cracked door at my little sister. Sitting on her bed, squeezing a penguin to her chest. I stand there, my heart pounding. I don’t want to be the one to tell her. I don’t want to be the one who finally crashes her world in two.
I swallow hard and make my leaden legs step forward. The white door swi…[Read more]

Hiii! *bowls over with hug*
1) I use ConverterKit but I mean I haven’t actually even sent my first newsletter out yet so…so far I’ve like it, I can’t get any automations with the free version but I’m used to jimmying stuff and I’m sure I can burn that bridge when I get there XD. I was able to design my own landing page and import free royalties p…[Read more] -

This is a good idea. I almost mentioned something along the same lines. If you give readers PDFs of short stories that they can download and read like ebooks, or even if you just have them somewhere easy to find on your site, that can work well.

ConvertKit is a good newsletter service you might like! I’ve personally decided to go with MailChimp, but I have a few friends who use ConvertKit for their newsletters, and it works great for them.
I personally enjoy it when bloggers share short stories through newsletters. You could always have that as a little bonus at the end…[Read more]

1) I use MailChimp, but I’ve heard a couple of friends recently recommend Flodesk. All of my info about it is second-hand, but the folks I’ve heard from rave about it.
2) I don’t personally read short stories outside of book format very often. When I do I tend to read them on someone’s site where I’m not going to lose it if I put it off for a…[Read more]

Hi, all,
So I’m wanting to start an email newsletter soon. A couple of years ago I had one with MailChimp, but really didn’t like that service much. I want to try one again, especially since I’m on a mission to build an author platform without social media. I would love some advice from anyone else who has an email newsletter!
1) What service do…[Read more]

Hi Cathy,
Absolutely. Here is the essence of what is happening, as the Apostle Paul writes to the Corinthian Christians:
So then, dear friends, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from every impurity of the flesh and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God. … For even if I grieved you…

Oooh that’s a good analogy!! Like how Christ takes our sinfulness and turns it into something fruitful and something that results in a great good, like how He allowed the Original Sin and turned it into the story of His Love to the point of dying for us. And that they continue to ritualistically cleanse the city especially because it’s a con…[Read more]
