Josie M started the topic Building a Platform…Any Advice? in the forum Publishing and Marketing Nerds 2 years, 5 months ago
I’m ready to start building my platform, which is exciting and also super scary! I’ll be honest, I’m terrified (prayers would be appreciated). I don’t know a lot about building a platform, so any advice would be welcome.
Right now, my plan is to build my website and blog. Set up a newsletter (I have my reader magnet ready). And try to keep up…[Read more]

I am attempting to start the story in a medieval fantasy/steampunk age that will progress over the time of story with the discovery of inventions and re-discoveries of technology that will progress to a star wars like era. It will tell the tale of a journey of survival and expansion to the stars in pursuit of peace and…

Mostly the MENA region (Middle east and North Africa), and as I said, it’s a medieval setting. So, the country has a tribal system with seven tribes (absolutely modeled after the twelve tribes of Israel XD) Each one rules themselves, but they often cooperate or clash. A few of the tribes are based on the Amazigh and Bedouin n…

Exactly and another part to that is that lesson that I feel is most important, especially now, is what defines right and wrong, ourselves or a greater example.
Yes, very important!
Yeah I am not sure if they would be cute but definitely someone you want on your side both in peace and war. It is a lot of creatures/races with many…

That sounds amazing! That’s a great premise and I love your cast of characters! How many books are you planning in the series? What’s your favorite part of the project so far?
Thanks 🙂 I’m planning on seven books. Favorite part…well, I guess it would be the learning. It’s kinda weird, but we really can learn a lot about lif…[Read more]

That plot sounds really intriguing! How many books are you planning for the series? Are you writing it in third or first person? What’s your outlining process? As you can see, my interest is very much sparked. 🙂
Glad you like it 🙂 I’m planning on seven books…well, it was originally supposed to be a stand alone, but…that didn’t h…[Read more]

I write fantasy as well! Those are awesome themes!! I really like the last one, I use it a lot too. I think another of my favorite themes is that despite darkness there is always goodness in the world, even if it seems to hide.
That’s a good theme. I think we could all use the reminder that there is some goodness out there…[Read more]

I really that theme. I am trying to weave morals based on God’s truth into my story and create godly applications. My chief theme is to teach how important it is to always do what is right no matter the cost.
That’s an important theme…and relevant to today. Too often, people back down when what’s right comes at a cost. But it’s w…[Read more]

I am terrible at throwing knives! But it’s fun, so…yeah. I try 🙂 My first bow was a compound, but I only use recurve now. I recently got a traditional Mongolian horse bow that I love! It’s a little different than modern American styles, but it is so cool looking! 🙂

About my writing…I write fantasy. I try to weave God’s truth into the stories. Common themes in my work are faith, courage, and following your God-given path. One recurring theme is that no one is ever so far gone that…[Read more]
