Karla Van Der Berg

@blueberry Thank you! I’m probably going to continue bugging you about it =P

@coggleton Thanks for reading as far as you have! And thanks for the critique, though I’m not at a point where I’m continuing to edit the story details, and am on to the second book. I know the first one has flaws (and sometimes major ones), and I’ve spent too much time…[Read more]

@ncstokes You make it sound like there is only one out! There is not! There is more! Your cliff baby is soaring! 😀
@people Y’all go read it.

@blueberry I personally don’t read horror. That’s just me though. My brain thinks up enough scary things on its own. *glares at brain*
I hope you get some people to read your story though. It sounds kinda…[Read more]

@blueberry Thanks for making this!

I’ve been publishing a serial one episode at a time on my blog, does that count? Here’s a link to the first episode. Next one comes out next week, hopefully.

@daeus-lamb @coggleton @blueberry

Not to be too presumptuous, but are any of you planning on leaving reviews, or did I lose your interest? =P

@coggleton If I were a good structurist, the books would be important later =P I really want to do a knot magic system in the future now, thanks for the idea. Since there’s a bunch of theory and even some notation styles for knots, I think it could make for a replacement for the standard “draw a magic circle with runes” stuff you see everywhere.…[Read more]

@blueberry I subscribed to your channel – looking forward to checking it out!

@blueberry

For writing purposes, I would also recommend Shadiversity. It is a really good channel as far as realistic and helpful content!

@blueberry YouTube is in fact ridiculously hard =P Sorry your visual novel didn’t take off. I do enjoy listening to podcast videos, for whatever it’s worth.

I do have two channels to recommend here. The associate pastor of my church has a channel he uses for Christian worldview and silly things, like talking about national churro day. And a…[Read more]

@blueberry

I followed you! I have a YouTube account here, though it is a bunch of playlists and not stuff I have posted. 🙂

@the-fledgling-artist Thanks for the reference :-}

@blueberry I was really, really trying hard to do a weekly critique-and-other-writing-stuff channel. Officially, I’m still doing it but haven’t put anything out in a while. Life and actual writing come first, and neither of those are really in order right now.

I’ve never read visual novels, b…[Read more]

@blueberry Consider me subscribed.

@i-david

Hmmmm…. I have no idea. I’ll try a few people.

@dragonpearlninja @sageinthemeadow @blueberry @moonink

Can you guys check out David’s thread?

@blueberry

Really?? That does sound entertaining. And they must have really hated coffee…

What exactly does ‘homebrew system’ mean? That you just made up the entire story yourself?

@blueberry Here’s the number one thing you need to know. Every single tactic will fail you until you develop a sense of what marketing is, what’s important and what’s not, and view marketing in a holistic light. This takes time, patience, and good teachers.

Eventually, I think paid ads could work for you, but it will take a lot of growth before…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Ah… the ever bothersome special abilities.

If it’s like, the newer special abilities than I have no clue whatsoever cuz we don’t really get the new stuff. But with older abilities… I think I know most of them? I think it mostly just depends which cards you have in your deck, whether or not they fit well with each other. That,…[Read more]

@blueberry Hello again!

To echo @r-m-archer, one of the things I’ve heard is ‘personal promotion’. Let people not only know about the book, but know about you as well! Social media platforms are a great way of doing this, as are blogs.

But more than that, keep working hard, and always remember that it takes time. It will forever take time.…[Read more]

@blueberry

Muaha. How did that go? XD

Do you remember which Star Wars RPG you played?(or still do XD)

@blueberry

Congratulations!

My first question would be: Do you know who your target audience is? If you determine who your target audience is you can find out where they hang out online, what related things they’re going to be interested in, etc. and you’ll be able to better focus your efforts in places you’re actually likely to find people who…[Read more]

@blueberry

Hi! I’m late, but I love RPG!!! I’ve only played, like, 2, but… I still love it! XD I’ve played the Star Wars one Edge of the Empire last year and a D&D one several years ago. And some more games that might be classified as RPGs but I have no clue whether they actually are or not.

@r-m-archer

Did you say Magic the Gathering??? Do…[Read more]
