@sarah-h Yeah, everyone goes crazy. I really don’t think most people understand what Christmas is about. They just celebrate it because they get presents.
It is my singing teacher’s end of year concert. All her students, (those who want to) singing a song or two that they have learned that year. It’s lots of fun.
We do not have small holidays…[Read more]

@jess They kinda sing in the acted out one, but not a lot. 🙂 You have got to tell me what you think when you have watched it.

@julia-r Welcome to the book club. We’ve finished voting and the chosen book is….The Hobbit. We will be starting in two day. Your Thursday, my Friday. (I’m Australian, in case you didn’t know.)

@his-instrument and @jess You were talking about the Jungle Book. I’ve seen the acted out one. It is 100 times better than the animated one. (That might be because I didn’t like the animated movie….) 🙂 I like acted out movies the best. (Get ready to jump if/when you watch it)

@his-instrument Yes we have spring and autumn. Winter falls in the months of June, July and August. We are expecting snow down to very low levels on Monday. (Your Sunday)
@sarah-h I HATE Halloween too. We (my family) don’t celebrate Christmas or Easter. @anna-brie I think Halloween is rather a big thing in Victoria.
Yes, Australia Day is a big…[Read more]

@julia-r Hello and welcome. DISNEY! DISNEY! DISNEY! Yeah…. 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 I love Disney and Pixar and every movie in between. I am always singing and repeating from them.

@julia-r
Write a story about a PRINCESS who turns into a frog and she needs to get a PRINCE to kiss her to turn back into a person. I don’t know if that’s a good dare or not, but you like Disney, and that’s the best I could do. 😉

@julia-r
Hi! Welcome to Kingdom Pen. I have to say that you picked the perfect place to grow as a writer and gain some writerly friends. I’ve done both since I joined. 😀 It’s great to meet you!
I’m with you on painting and drawing, Disney, and travel. What was your favorite place you travel to? Favorite Disney character (I like your…[Read more]

@Jess
Cool! That sounds really fun. 🙂 Let me know how it goes!

@Jess
I’ve never written a script before, but I act. My advice is to create natural dialogue because that’s all you can write. Script writing in some ways is harder than writing a story because you can’t use any descriptions besides stage directions, though, on the other hand, writing dialogue is the easiest thing to write, at least for…[Read more]

@his-instrument I can’t generalize everyone and say for sure, but I know with my father and brothers, they are much more likely to try to figure out something like directions themselves, while us girls will stop and call home for directions, or would go ask someone much sooner than they would. I wouldn’t go so far as to say they hate asking for…[Read more]

Villain names tend to have v, x, r, or M…but not always. And I love s, t, e, and a names for a hero. Though, again, not always. It just…a sound to a name. It sounds strong and determined, like Ethaniel. ;D or Torin. Or it might sound playful, like Jathan.

And I do that too with so many of the names, @gretald, @kate-flournoy! There are…[Read more]

I’ve written some scripts for my siblings and I. With dialogue, try to picture someone saying it. Preferably the people who are going to be acting the part. Some lines sound cool in writing, but when it came time for them to be spoken, it just wouldn’t work. And it depends on the quality of the actors. There were some things I knew my siblings…[Read more]

@Daeus thank you. I feel much safer. 😀

@Anna-Brie Trevelian… is a mess. 😛 You wouldn’t think it to look at his cold, hard exterior, but inside he’s broken to pieces. Which is going to be enormous fun to write. *rubs hands, cackles gleefully*
And I won’t name a character Galbatorix— it’s the name of the villain in Christopher Paolini’s Inheri…[Read more]

@Daeus
Really? No killing allowed? I thought this topic would be fun. Just kidding. 😉 😛

@anna-brie
I agree about some names sounding ridiculous, especially if the story is set in another world. If the story is in another world, the names should be unique, but not…too unique. Like Farentobiolis (I just made that up; it’s pronounced…[Read more]

It’s great fun how sometimes a name and a character just completely click. Sometimes, before I even name the character, I know what letter his name has to start with because it’s ‘his’ letter, so I brainstorm names that begin with that letter.

@kate-flournoy I do the SAME thing! For some reason, I usually have a character “letter” in mind.…[Read more]

@anna-brie
Wow, cool! It’s always fascinating to hear about holidays in other countries. 🙂

Ooh, great topic @Anna-Brie! I love names. Pretty much what everyone else said in regards to villains, though as in all cases with all things there are exceptions.
As for heroes… well, it depends on what kind of person the hero is. When I think ‘hero’ I usually think ‘noble’, ‘strong’ and ‘complicated’. Don’t ask me why I think complicated. :P…[Read more]
