Hello!

@ben-dykes

Hey Ben!  I’m Ella.  Welcome, welcome!  Ooo, cool!  You want to write more action in books?  Cool.  I like to write YA dystopian and thriller/suspense mainly.  My WIP synopsis is:

24 miles off the Island of Camino, a commercial airline goes down in the Pacific. Only one passenger survives.
Dylan, an orphan-turned-foster child, was living with his uncle when he got the chance of a lifetime: travel to the ideal vacation destination, Camino, for a three-week internship. It’s the chance of his dreams, but it all goes terribly wrong when his plane crashes and he’s stranded alone on the ocean, fighting to stay alive.
Drifting in and out of reality, Dylan wakes up on a beach with two strange girls standing over him. This island isn’t Camino——in fact, it’s the opposite of the lush, high-end place. And as it turns out, the girls aren’t the only inhabitants. This island is a clock-work mechanism, with each member doing their job to keep it in order. But after Dylan’s appearance, disastrous events begin to happen on the island. Inexplicable and far too coincidental, the inhabitants begin to turn hostile.
Soon, Dylan is not only trying to get home, but fighting for his life.

What’s your WIP about?

Some tips… ummm.  If you like writing sprints/word wars (aka competitive writing) then you should check out the “Official Writing Sprint Leaderboard.”  You just tag people and hope they’re writing. 🙂 That’s pretty fun.  Also, if you tap “forums” underneath the “recent topics,” you can see which users are online, so you know who to tag if you want an immediate response.

Anyways, have a good time on KP!

Hey Ben! I’m Precious and I’m also kind of new here. I’m also interested in writing science fiction and fantasy and I’ve read some cool adventure fiction. I think that Brandon Sanderson brings the best of these worlds together. I’d recommend The Reckoners series (I read the first one and it’s great). I’ve also heard that Mistborn is a heist based fantasy which seems cool. So you might want to check that out.

What are you favorite adventure and science ficiton books. Or books in general? Can’t wait to hear from you!

Hi there!! Good to meet you! As far as advice, I’d say don’t be shy to ask anything you want answers for, the people on here are very friendly and even though I’ve only been on here a couple months its been so so helpful for my writing journey

I don’t bite unless provoked and am generally amiable and happy unless I’m too hot, too cold, around people I don’t like, haven’t slept at least eight hours, haven’t had morning coffee and tea or am otherwise lacking in comfortableness. (mostly kidding)

I like writing and reading about wars; not that I think they are a good part of history per se, but they have an unexplicible fascination for me.

So… *cracks knuckles * what is your least favorite flavor of ice cream?

What kind of music do you like?

By the way, if you like sad-ish music, check out Fare Thee Well by the Rankin family.

Also, check out Homecoming by Florian Bur; it is one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard in my life. I highly recommend it.

Do you like dogs or cats better? or neither?
