@emma-walker A blog runs through a program called Content Management Software (CMS). CMS has to run on some computer somewhere for a user to access the posts created with it. This computer is called a “server,” because it serves up its files to people who ask for them by typing in the right address.
Any computer can be a server if it’s set up the…[Read more]

Also @jenwriter17 and @r-m-archer what do you mean by saying your blog is hosted?

Something I forgot to add was I was thinking of also having an Instagram account with the blog name, and use it for the blog as well, so that I can reach out to more people. I would probably create a post on Instagram linking to a new blog post every week, as well as more picture type stuff and smaller things that won’t really make a good full b…[Read more]

@r-m-archer a good portion of people I know use WordPress, my only concern as of now is money.

@emma-walker I’ve used WordPress for years and it works great for me. 🙂 I have one blog (my primary, writing-related blog) that’s hosted through Black Chicken Host and a handful of smaller blogs that I have hosted for free on WordPress.com.

That’s awesome that you’re starting a blog! 😀 I personally use WordPress (hosted by Bluehost) which has worked out really well so far (but I know of people who use Squarespace as well). One of my biggest tips, especially since you’re planning on blogging about your author journey, is to do some branding. Figure out what defines…[Read more]

Idk what website I should use. I know that there’s WordPress, and G…[Read more] -

@taylorclogston Okay, yeah… Apparently the growing up thing is still too new for me to realize when it’s happening. 😐 But yeah, I absolutely loved especially the first Penderwicks book (which I read several years ago, I think)… Which is probably also the best of them all (although, again, I haven’t read them all). But for ages 8-12 I do think…[Read more]

@sesi Hey!
Honestly, I’ve asked myself the same question about books I used to love. Some of the characters feel so flat, like cardboard cutouts. I don’t think you’re over-dissecting the story, you’re probably just suffering from the same thing as me, called “growing up.”😁
As for avoiding it in your writing…Abbie Emmons (she’s on YouTube)…[Read more]

@sesi Perfection vs imperfection is hard to balance in books for kids, yeah. I haven’t read the Penderwicks books, but even in the Look Inside for the first book I get a bit of what you’re saying. Rosalind does seem weirdly glorified as a responsible leader even to her parents in just those opening lines.
In general, it sounds to me like you…[Read more]

Oh… @daeus-lamb I should probably tag you…
Sorry if this seems like an unnecessary question… It’s just been bothering me a lot recently.

Hey Guys. It’s been so long since I was on here last and I’ve missed you guys. Dunno if anyone remembers me but hi!!! *realizes she’s already rambled*
Okay, my goal is to keep this short and sweet. Idk if anyone here has read The Penderwicks or the rest of the series but they’re really good. Especially for kids…
So maybe it’s just that I’ve…[Read more]
