@writerlexi1216 I know how you feel! Becoming a writer was the best thing (aside from becoming a Christian) that ever happened to me! I’m glad I could help! And having a strong middle is a good thing, so don’t despair over that! I’d love to help you strength your beginning!
And use as many exclamation points as you want!!!!!! π
February 17, 2021 at 3:01 pm #93213@writerlexi1216 DEFINITELY read the Artemis Fowl series!!! The books are so good! If you’re going to watch the movie, though, I’d recommend reading the first 3 books first. (The movie’s not as good but the actor who plays Artemis isΒ reallyΒ cute. <3 XD)

Ahahaha… I may have to watch the movies then π
February 18, 2021 at 10:01 am #93290@writerlexi1216 Iβm the same way! Almost always prefer books to movies. π
Hahahahaaaaa yes you may π π π
(seriously, heβs REALLY cute..)

i'll make the winter now my homeFebruary 18, 2021 at 10:59 am #93295Yeah I think books are better than movies (most of the time). But it’s neat when there’s both because then you can see the story both ways.
Ahaha, I’ll check that out, then! *sigh* I really need to read more books, but every time I read it just makes me want to write lol
February 18, 2021 at 11:15 am #93297@writerlexi1216 Me too. I really love to see how they embody the characters in movies.
Lolll, same!! I read the Green Ember series a while ago and it just made me wanna write… also when I read good books it inspires me to make fanfic. XD

i'll make the winter now my homeFebruary 18, 2021 at 2:30 pm #93342Oh, I’ve never heard of the Green Ember series? It sounds interesting, though! π I’m always open to book recommendations, so if it’s one you’d recommend, I may look into it! Ahaha, I know, right? It’s super hard for me to read without getting the itch to write!
Speaking of which, I’m thinking about posting a little of my book (but I don’t really like the first chapter so I don’t know XD)
February 18, 2021 at 2:31 pm #93343Oh, and you changed your tagline!! I love it!! π *heart eyes*

@writerlexi1216 It’s a really good series. Definitely check it out! π I really love it, it’s among my favourites. πOH MY GOODNESS, REALLY??? I would SO look forwards to reading that!!!! You don’t have to post it if you don’t feel comfortable, but I know I’d LOVE to read some of your book. <33333
Eyy thanks! XD

i'll make the winter now my homeFebruary 18, 2021 at 3:29 pm #93359Cool!! I’ll look into that then!! π
EEEEK, I know I’m kind of nervous about posting it, really π I feel like from Chapter 4 on it’s good, but before that….. Ehhh, I dunno XD But I would love for you to read it! Lemme get a little more writing/editing work and I may post some! π I also have no idea how much to post lol
February 18, 2021 at 3:38 pm #93362
@writerlexi1216 Even if you feel uncomfortable posting, at least know that if you ever decide to post it I won’t judge you π I posted my prologue on here once, but for beta reading I just sent specific ppl the whole story through email. πstaring at the fields

i'll make the winter now my homeFebruary 18, 2021 at 3:47 pm #93364Aw, thank you for saying that! It’s not that I don’t feel comfortable (because I know all of you on Kingdom Pen are super encouraging and kind π ), it’s just I can be sort of self-critical, I guess. But maybe feedback is exactly what I need to give me some motivation! Because the book really picks up the action around Chapter 4, I’d probably post that much (if not a little more), so that you could see the more action-y parts of it. But there’s a few scenes that I haven’t written yet (I skip around a lot lol) so I’ll need to fill those in, otherwise it won’t make sense XD But thank you for offering to read it!!! I’d be super happy to hear what you think!!! β€οΈπππππ§‘
February 18, 2021 at 6:51 pm #93372February 18, 2021 at 8:19 pm #93376@writerlexi1216 Yeah! I’m a self-critic too, so I know how you feel… If you want me to give you any feedback, please let me know! I’m currently in the beta reading process and feedback has helped me a ton. π I’d LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to see your book (any part of it!) and would be honoured if you picked me to read for you. <3 Β π€
