This guy sounds fascinating!  His backstory is awesome, and he sounds like a genuine character.  For likeability, you could:

1)  Give the MC and Ridley something in common (a hobby, a genre of music, a favorite food, etc)

2)  like @elfwing said, moments of vulnerability.  That would make the reader open up to him really fast…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

If you have the resources, go for it!  No regrets! 😉  If it totally flunks, don’t sweat it.  If it turns out to be the best choice you could have made, yay you! <33 (I think a yt channel would work well for that)

@joy-caroline

Awesome topic, I LOVE this kinda stuff!

Hmmm….  *ponders over which best most devastating character lie to use*

Enter Dylan.  He believes he can’t be loved.  He wasn’t loved or appreciated by his father as a boy, and then he witnessed his mother’s death, which scarred him.  He put all his worth into MMA fighting but didn’t thi…[Read more]

@abigail-m

I’ll check it out!

@e-k-seaver

Ahhh!  I’m at chapter seventeen and I just can’t stop!  This book is well-written, intriguing, and TOTALLY PUBLISHABLE!  Make it happen, Emily.  This needs to be published.

I just can’t stop thinking about how amazing this is!  I don’t know how many times I’ve laughed out loud…  (and I seriously almost cried once!)  And the chara…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver

Got it!  So excited, I’ll check it out later today.

@lydia-s

Bahahaha!  I know, me toooooo!  My sister was really annoyed about how much I was gushing about Dylan… he’s just so amazing!  If I could bring any of my charries to life, it’d be him (and then I’d marry him!) XD XD XD

@godlyfantasy12

Thank ya kindly!  <3  Ooo, cool!  I’d say Corvina might be a conflicted character, and Arabella might be a really sweet, friendly personality.  Am I right? XD

@kathleenramm

Girl, I’d totally read this!  Totally keep writing… GO GO GO! 😉

@anatra23

Thanks!  I know, it’s kinda weird to see the dialogue out of context.  But th…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver

Congrats Emily!!  I’ll do it!  Dystopian is my all time favorite genre.  I’m so excited to read this!

Thanks for the opportunity!

@gracie-j

Hey Gracie!  Aw, thanks girl!  I love quiet, gruff guys… they’re so soft on the inside, like cinnamon rolls… XD

@keilah-h

Nice!  She seems pretty curious, and now I’m curious about your story! 😃

@writerlexi1216

Hahaha!  I already love Felicity!  😉

@devastate-lasting

He totally sounds like you described him.  If I had to go on an adventure now, I’d want him to be the leader! 😉

@daisy-torres

Can I hang out with Catherine for a day, please?  Just a day? XD

@lewilliams

Hahaha!  Poor Horace.  *cough* dumb teenagers *cough* 🙂

@kayleigh-idea

Hey Kayleigh!!  Of course!  That’s a great idea, I definitely get wanting that feeling of satisfaction. 🙂

@elfwing

Hey Elfwing!  Thanks!!  Oh I totally get that!!  That’s an awesome idea, thanks for the advice!

@daisy-torres

Hey Daisy!  Aw, thanks!!  That’s super helpful, especially the part about realizing that he can love <…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

This is ALL too relatable, Lexi!  The way I usually (try) to overcome writer’s block/burnout is picking up a different project.  I have *counts Scrivener docs* 25 WIPs from the last 2 yrs.  Not that they’re perfect.  (Or finished.)

This way really helps me to take a step back and pick a project that I’ve been developing pre…[Read more]

@maryg3

Hey Mary!  (Btw, before I forget, it looks like your website link on your forum signature is cut off… maybe shorten it?  I think it’s limited to 80 or so characters…?  Just letting you know, I do that all the time!)

Thanks!  I’m trying to decide on a title right now.  Do you like Camino or They Came at Night better?  I kinda like…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Great topic, I love it! 🤣

Well, my weirdest story was probably my first one.  *epic music plays in the background* The Teres of the Man.  

Complete with illustrations!!  Oh yeah!  XD  It was about a horse named Wanna (not Wanda, Wanna), an anteater named Carrie, and a frog named Joe.  And the villain was (to quote straight from t…[Read more]

@ben-dykes

Hey Ben!  I’m Ella.  Welcome, welcome!  Ooo, cool!  You want to write more action in books?  Cool.  I like to write YA dystopian and thriller/suspense mainly.  My WIP synopsis is:

24 miles off the Island of Camino, a commercial airline goes down in the Pacific. Only one passenger survives.
Dylan, an orphan-turned-foster child, was li…

Hey Mary!  I’m Ella, and welcome to KP!!!  I’ve been homeschooled for most of my life, but this next year will be my second year at a classical Christian school.  My WIP synopsis is:
