That is great, @myclipboardismyviolin! You thought that out well!

@kayla-skywriter I used to have a horse that I loved to bits, so I know what you mean about the smell of horses. There’s nothing else in the world like it. It’s nice to meet you!

@myclipboardismyviolin Aha! I feel smart for being the first. 😂 I like Lindsey Stirling’s music, but I haven’t watched many of her music videos. Now I’ll have to watch…[Read more]

How did your goals go last week? What are they for this week?

@myclipboardismyviolin It’s lovely to meet you too!

*laughs* Same for me. I’ve been writing for 15 years unless you count that fairy tale I wrote involving rabid wolves and true love’s kiss. 😂

Ack, yes. My family had a quilt shop for several years, and that scent new fabric has is amazing. 😍 Clean fabric in general, actually. Especially cotto…[Read more]

I have returned.

Let the long post begin.

@nuetrobolt I would take a test to determine your temperaments. While opposite temperaments in one person do happen (I am living proof) they are very rare, so you should be sure. I think it would be a good idea for your characters, because, while personalities are…[Read more]

@myclipboardismyviolin As some other people have said, I’d highly recommend email list building as your first step. In my personal experience, giveaways that target your ideal reader with the items you’re giving away combined with cross-promoting with other likeminded individuals has brought me the most success in building an email list.

I would…[Read more]

@myclipboardismyviolin @selah-chelyah The time zone on this site is set to East Coast (New York) time.  I think it’s because a lot of the administrators live in that time zone.  So your post will show up as whatever time it was on the East Coast when you posted.

It’s cooler to think you can send messages to the future, though, isn’t it? 😛

@myclipboardismyviolin

Lol, I have noticed the same thing…really weird. 🙂

@daeus-lamb

Do you know?

It is finished now! @katherineh, thank you so much for the help! It’s good to have a fellow writer help out – massively encouraging.

No worries, I fixed that. 😉 One of the 26s was pointing to 24.

I’m glad I could entertain. Also, this was a really fun story to write, so thanks for letting me write most of it! I wish we could publish it…[Read more]

Ha ha. The happy ending is 24. I’ve decided that you can take 16, since 15, 9, and 8 all point to 24 – at least, some of the options, anyway. Just keep going with whatever plan you had for 16 and ignore me. 🙂

Other bad endings for sure include 21, 22, and 23. Though I really really wanted to write 23…:P

@myclipboardismyviolin I’ve changed a couple things with tenses (I think we’re sticking with somewhat of a present tense?? At least that’s what it feels like)… Which ending is the happy one? I can write a few endings, but I don’t want to take the one that ends well. 😉

@myclipboardismyviolin How’s the story coming? Sorry I haven’t been able to contribute very much; things have been busy.

@myclipboardismyviolin By the way, I personally never worry about the world hating Christian fiction. There are even examples of explicitly Christian stories doing phenomenally in the secular market such as Cry, The Beloved Country, Ben-Hur, and Chariots of Fire.

As Brandon Miller said in one of the first podcast episodes: “good stories get…[Read more]

And how does one build this magic email list?

Well, I’m trying not to overload you to the point of analysis paralysis, but for starters, you might find this article helpful: https, though it’s somewhat non-fiction/business focused. videofruit.com/blog/how-to-build-an-email-list/

As I’m sure you know, building an email list…[Read more]

@myclipboardismyviolin

*nods* I might be able to help with that some. Um… as far as my blog is concerned, Pinterest drives a lot of my traffic. As soon as I started designing Pinterest-friendly graphics (and mine aren’t even the most Pinterest-friendly out there, seeing as Pinterest likes vertical pins and mine are square) my traffic…[Read more]
