Hello! I’m Avery–fantasy writer, cat lover, singer, and child of God! It’s so good to be here in this community. 🙂
A little bit about me:
+ current university student, former homeschooler
+ current WIP: Shades of Deception, 1st in a YA fantasy trilogy featuring spies, talking cats, and prophecy
+ favorites: the color blue, crepes, Dr. Pepper, cats, writing in a hundred-year-old oak tree
No, I don't know why it's on fire. *sighs*
December 31, 2023 at 4:10 pm #171915Greetings and welcome! You can call me Bridget or HighScribe. I’m a current homeschooler and I’m working on a fantasy universe with multiple planets with my brother, @jonas.
Your WIP sounds super cool!! Feel free to tag me if you ever share more 😉
I can’t think of any questions atm, so I’ll leave it at that. Nice to meet you 🙂
Signature is limited to 100 characters? That seems awfully unjust. We refuse to be bound by these ru
December 31, 2023 at 4:13 pm #171916Nice to meet you, Bridget! It’s always cool to meet other homeschoolers (And don’t worry, my sanity is long-gone, as well.😉)

December 31, 2023 at 4:14 pm #171917Hi! I’m Jonas/Cloaked Mystery. I’m a current homeschooler in 12th grade. I write fantasy, and as @highscribe mentioned, the two of us are working on a fantasy universe. I particularly like designing magic systems.
I also am bad at asking questions as is tradition, so I’ll leave it to others!

December 31, 2023 at 4:19 pm #171921Hey there and greetings from Burne!
I’m -GRCR-! I’m a fiction fantasy-ish writer, an avid artist, a journalist for my fictional newspaper, and a character-lover/creator that has over three hundred beloved charries (oh, and I love them so much that I wish they were real people, lol). I enjoy listening to music and imagining my characters singing the songs.
Anyhow, welcome to KP! 😁
Oh, blue is a nice color! One of my favorites too… well, equal with red. Is there any particular shade of blue that you like?
Here are some random questions for you!
If you have any characters, how many do you have?
Which perspective do you enjoy most: first person (I walked), second person (You walked), or third person (He/she walked)?
If you were going to write an entirely original and new book, what would you create first: the world or the characters?
And, what song will forever remind you of last year?
Well… that’s it from me. Hope you enjoy KP, and I’ll see you around! 🙃

December 31, 2023 at 4:38 pm #171926Hey y’all!
@esther-c Very nice to meet you!!1. How long have you been writing? Well, technically since I was nine, but seriously since I was 12… and there’s still so much I don’t know! I kind of self-taught and just did a lot of random stuff and explored and experimented… then recently I realized, “Hmm, it might be helpful to know what I’m doing.”
2. What are you majoring in at the university? (If you don’t mind sharing of course, 😉 ) English! I am an English person through and through.
3. What’s your dream vacation? Italy. I’d be able to see Renaissance history and Ancient Roman history all in one place. 🙂
4. Favorite part about being a writer? Hmm… The mystery. My brother will never understand me. 😉 Jk, my fave part is the characters. I love them. They live in my head and drive me insane. XD
@grcr Wonderful to meet you, as well!If you have any characters, how many do you have? Umm… I’m not smart enough for that kind of math. Too many. In my trilogy, I have (only counting semi-important charries)… 15? Probably more I’m forgetting atm…
Which perspective do you enjoy most: first person (I walked), second person (You walked), or third person (He/she walked)? Okay, so complicated question. Mostly I write third person limited, usually in a multiple POV story. But I really love writing first person (especially with less-serious personalities) because it’s such a great way to explore the character’s individual voice.
If you were going to write an entirely original and new book, what would you create first: the world or the characters? So… kind of both. If I got a new idea, it would usually be about a character in a specific situation that suggests the worldbuilding. My current WIP started from the idea “spy with a talking cat.” Another random idea I had was “infant raised in a library where no one ever talks.” Once I had the idea, I’d probably focus mostly on the main character, thinking things from their POV and seeing what they do and how they act and what their attitude is… I’m something of a plantser, so I wouldn’t start intentionally working on worldbuilding or character development in any serious/planning capacity until I’d already started writing the story. XD
And, what song will forever remind you of last year? Ooh, that was on my to-do list for today, so thank you for reminding me. (Kind of a plantser with my life, too. Organized chaos over here.) Hmm… according to Spotify Wrapped, it’s Shadows by The Afters, but that’s just because that’s on my typing playlist. According to my own opinion, probably HAPPY by NF. (If you know the song, you’re worried about me. If you don’t know the song, you think “Oh good, she’s happy!”) XD
No, I don't know why it's on fire. *sighs*

lol 😅 cool!

Ah, cool! I write in third, one reason is because I struggle with writing first person fsr (I guess I just don’t practice enough lol)…

Oh cool! I think you’re the first person to have said that! But hey, that’s really interesting.

December 31, 2023 at 5:01 pm #171929Welcome to KP! I’m Janessa, aka Trailblazer, and I write primarily contemporary or historical fiction, but I also enjoy mysteries, and I’ve done a little journalism as well. I’m also into photography and hiking in the mountains. I’m also a former homeschooler who spent one year in public school (yeah that was an adventure I’ll never forget) and now currently working full time while writing in my free time.
And now for some questions-
I’ve been asking every new person this week this question: What is one thing God did in your life this past year?
What is one thing on your bucket list? (Aside from Italy, as you already mentioned)
Do you have a favorite quote?
