HELLO MY FELLOW RP-ERS!!!
I HAVE HAD THE MOST STRANGE OF IDEAS!!
This is what happens when ur trying to draft ur book by the end of November and ur only a few thousand words in…..HA…
help me…AHEM! SO!
Idk how it is for y’all….but it always seems I have such an easier time writing an RP or just writing on Kingdom Pen period, then I do trying to write in my draft….
like…I’ll spend HOURS ON HERE…and then can’t make myself write a single word in my draft….
The struggle is real yall!
That being said, I had this CRAZY IDEA TODAY!!
WHAT IF…..
We wrote our drafts like we did our RPs??
……….
*crickets chirp*
OKAY OKAY HEAR ME OUT XD
Ik we obviously can’t do them like RPs in the way that we can’t have your characters responding to MY characters, BUT, I’m talking format wise, and writing ON KP, and then copy and paste into your individual file (whatever u use for ur drafts)
Because I just find it sooo much easier to write in here for some reason….
I think some of its because 1. I need to in order for OTHERS to be able to write back.
but also…it’s kinda freeing. I’m a perfectionist and so my biggest issue is just feeling it all has to be perfect.
Meanwhile when I’m in the RP format it doesn’t have to be all perfect. And that’s really what i need in my draft (no matter how bad that huuuuurts XD)
ALSO! If we (or I) did this, others could read my stuff and encourage along the way! (If they wanted to of course) cuz honestly I hate writing alone but at the same time I can’t write while surrounded by ppl lol, so this fixes that problem!!
anyway….that uhh may have made no sense at all….but umm…yea….I kinda rlly wanna try this now and didn’t know if y’all would be interested too, or at least would indulge me as I do it XD

#ProtectSebSeptember 8, 2022 at 1:53 pm #117080This could work! I have only like, three chapters written and they’re like, chapter one, chapter twenty, and chapter fourty-seven or something like that. You get the idea.
AND I’ve been wondering if anyone would even read my books at all, or rather if anyone of the age group I’m writing to would. So maybe this would help as y’all could help me with that…and tone me down because I can get pretty…wild on paper.
Of course I am hoping to publish, but maybe no one would want to read a wretched first draft form of my books instead of the real thing? Maybe?
This would also give me some accountability in my writing, and something like a deadline. (Royal procrastinator here) We could submit in turns like on the RP, so I’d have to write.

Exactly!! Or we can just submit as often as possible that way we don’t have to wait if inspiration strikes lol! (Ya know lol) but exactly!! Also first drafts are never perfect, u always have to edit them, and I’m sure ppl would luv to read ur books!!!And same with me, I’d love to share my stuff as well! And I also don’t always write in order (from beginning to end) lol so y’all would have to bear with me, but most of y’all know enough about my story anyway)
And I’m super excited to try this method out honestly!!! I’d luv if y’all would join me! But if not If y’all would just be there to read ma stuff and encourage me that’s good too XD
oh and gurl I am with u on the royal procrastinator thing. SAAAAAME!!

@godlyfantasy12. Sounds like a lovely idea!
I’m not sure how much writing I’ll be able to post. (Y’all know I’ve posted a lot elsewhere, lol)
And y’all, @godlyfantasy12, @koshka, I totally get you. I have a document over 800 pages long with random scenes for random books that are normally either towards the middle or end. XD
But even if I don’t share a lot here, I AM here to encourage! Can’t wait to see some epic writing. 😉

@godlyfantasy12. It’s my sister’s, but we share a room, so I do get to see it. 😉 (it was a surprise birthday gift. She was staying at someone’s house…and when she came back…SNAKE! XD)
COOL! Turtles are cute. 😀 Cool! Both of our dogs are inside. (Australian Shepherds. One Standard size, the other toy. XD Both female) I’m sure you’re excited about the beta. I saw one at one of our local pet stores, and it was red, white, and blue! Very pretty. I was like: “IT’S CAP!!!!!” XD XD XD #MarvelNerd.
September 8, 2022 at 8:22 pm #117107@freedomwriter76 oooh, cap fish…
lol.
I had a blue and red betta a long time ago called Fan. Lived two years, died a while back.
@godlyfantasy12 Cool! Snakes are awesome, but I doubt my mom would let me have one. A lizard….maybe….but not for a while….My family has a golden doodle named Sky. Cutest thing ever but an absolute lunatic.
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.

I had a scarlet beta with white tipped fins. (It was originally supposed to be our church’s toddler class pet, but came home with the teacher, aka Mama, and became mine.) I named it Excalibur. It died last year.
Our family also has two dogs (a shepherd Mut and a Pyranees Labrador named Sir Duncan), two cats, and a lizard.
And two bee hives, but those aren’t what I classify a pet.
