yess they would!!

yeah, horse isn’t too bad apparently, but duck is cheaper lol

haha yeah geese are terrible fowl. XD and turkeys are scary but pretty, and they’d make good distractions XD

@hallie-jean

ohhh I did the bubbly gal falling in love with the tall dark n handsome guy toooooo

It is my FAVORITE love trope in my writingggg!!! the journey of learning to better understand each other is so fun and developing their characters can be a total hoot and also give some tears. I would say it’s my top favorite, but I have not used it…[Read more]

@devastating-lasting

So true!!!!

I love ducks!!! they’re good pets and would make very innocent looking spies, and also information carriers if you trained them…

Chickens!!! yessss. They’d make good traveling companions! push comes to shove eat the chikcen… muahahaha  They’re also good at catching mosquitoes and other annoying bugs!! so…[Read more]

@power

These are incredible!  Have you thought about published some poems on the KP blog?  I did it once, with the poem The Journal.  You should totally do it!!

Also, welcome to KP!  Feel free to join any topics that you want.  Do you only write poetry or do you write fiction/nonfiction too?

@hallie-jean

oooo great point!!!

*gasps * Ladybugs! Perfect! You gave me an idea!

and GIANT grasshoppers! For my dragon people!!! They get on their grasshopper and it jumps and flings them on the air and they get a jumpstart flight!!

thank you! You gave me ideas!!

Moths would be cool too… I mean Gandalf used one…

ohhh what if the…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Ugh, I totally get what you’re talking about!  Sometimes  daydream about my other books while writing a blah one, and I’m like “why am I even writing this??”

So I’d say go for it.  If you got problems, face ’em head-on.  That way, you’ll be able to get over the problem more quickly.  And as for your idea, I’m loving it!!!  I’m per…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

ooo my friend loves those critters!! Good choice, good choice! That must be so fun! Do they talk? O.O

what did you name it?

yeah… that is a great idea when I need some critters! Thanks!

i have an albino deer and elephants and a ferret and a cottontail rabbit in mine, and the ferret is named Lokee  XD

@joy-caroline

wow I would say YES but I really like adding a  traumatized person to my stories and then tying in their story with the plot!

I would say as long as you make sure to keep it tied into the plot, do it. Like maybe they just miss each other or something…

anyways yes!

@hallie-jean

yesss! That’s great! 😂 love it!

@joy-caroline

Good point… I like zebras too! That’s a good idea! 😃

@daisy-torres

cool! Haha sounds perfect for unsuspecting mischief… and a talking one at that!

my dad had a pet ferret at one point named Loki 😂 it was a cheeky critter; it loved to hide under the couch and then when peo…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Undoubtedly, most definitely, undeniably dark and brooding love interests… 😐

They’re just so amazing, you know?  And even if he isn’t the love interest, he’s probably gonna be a side character.

Also, hate-to-love romances are pretty amazing.

So ya, to some it up, romance tropes are most common in my WIPs… hehe!

@kathleenramm

mine is so secret identity!!! I have at least two people in each book of my series; sometimes the same and sometimes new ones. Not intentionally

i love the chances for discovery and adding layers

“well… we’re like onions.”

“So… they smell?”

“Yes— no! We have layers! Onions have layers!

“Well cake has layers!

@keilah-h

cool cool! I haven’t seen many Star Wars, and only two Marvel, and the last ones listed I have never heard of… they sound cool! that’s a fun idea, combining two fandoms! 🙂

@keilah-h

don’t get me wrong, I think it’s really cool you do those!

@keilah-h

Ahh ok. that sounds fun! what movies/books have you done fan fics on?

You know… the ready-made part is probably what makes it hard for me; I love making new things, and trying to replicate artistic works (except accents and voices) really doesn’t work for me, be it characters or drawings and paintings.

@keilah-h

sounds cool! Good for you! I have never succeeded at fan fics, but everyone is different and I appreciate writers who can take a character and make their own fan fic and it turn out really cool. From what you’ve described here and other topics, I’d say you must have lots of fun doing them! Keep it up! 🙂

I must admit… I love doing…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

thank you!

i do like those kinds of characters as well. After all, no one is perfect.

In this case it’s the villain’s fiancé/soon-to-be wife who  defends him and yet criticize him. She loves him fiercely and the two are rather a funny pair, but it works XD. She’s got a quick temper and trust issues but once you have her trust,…[Read more]

@hallie-jean

Hey Hallie! Good question! A first draft is the first written version of your book. For me, I like to write all my words at once, then edit it afterwards. I always try to edit while I’m writing, but that’s not a great habit to build, because it can make me pretty discouraged. And like @devastate-lasting said, notes would be good to…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I have unwittingly written many XD. I admit I automatically do that with characters. Maybe too much. I have two favorites.

The main antagonist, who I mentioned in the topic of the week, is the one I’m currently doing. I debating a few endings… but I decided on a positive character arc instead of him staying locked up in the far…[Read more]

@hallie-jean

I do the same as @daisy-torres. Although, I do keep my first draft in a separate doc in case I reread later and don’t like my 2nd draft. I like to end a chapter mysteriously as possible and pick up on a different POV if there’s more than one. I like stories where the chapter ends in one charrie’s POV, and starts in a different one;…[Read more]
