XD This was a great topic!!!

@devastate-lasting

If you like Percy Jackson and the Olympians or similar books, you may find it quite interesting! <3

@hallie-jean

haha!!

thanks!

@elfwing

Hahaha!!!!! I think it’s brilliant!

Awww, your poor characters!!!! I want to read this story so much!

@elfwing

Hahaha!!!!!! Yes! My favorite romance trope is opposites attract!!!

I’ve been trying to write more morally gray characters and secret identities bc I love mystery too!!! Also love anti-villain and anti-hero tropes!!!!!

@hallie-jean

lol Yes mwahaha And one of my MCs is scared of heights… bad thing when you can turn into a dragon and are expected to fly… XD I am so cruel. Tbh I really don’t like grasshoppers but they’d made good giant rides lolol and if you take into account the good lawnmowers they are…

@elfwing

Oh!!! Peacocks!!!!!!!

@elfwing

LOLLLL glad I could help!!!

The grasshoppers in your story sound awesome! I think that’s such a cool way to incorporate such an underrated creature!!!!!

And the garden scene would be hilarious!!!!! XD

I LOVE turtles!!!!! A turtle that keeps secrets…why have I never thought of that!? I may have to use that!

@devastate-lasting

Duck…[Read more]

@devastating-lasting

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]

@kathleenramm

HoW aM I sUPPosED To chOoSE?!?!?

I probably use too many tbh, and I haven’t really thought about it until rn… Anyhow!!!! I actually agree with what @joy-caroline said about the “found family” trope! I was thinking about it the onther day and realized that I think every story I’ve every written may have that trope XD And I totally…[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]

@power

…Woah, I don’t even know what to say.

These are amazing (HUGE understatement)!!!!! I’m no poet, but I like to dabble in poetry every once in a while! And when I do, I definitely enjoy it! It sounds like you really do! Is it bad to say I relate to the words you wrote a lot??? XD

Are you a poet?? Have you written anything else? If so,…[Read more]

@elfwing

Does anyone ever see many insects in books??

Like butterflies, ants, beetles, millipedes, caterpillars (I know they’re butterflies, but I never hear about them in this form either), grasshoppers, ladybugs, bees, etc…

I’ve heard dragonflies, spiders (technically not an insect), and lightning bugs getting tons of attention. Especially…[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]

@elfwing

Okay, correct me if I’m wrong, but does this example work??

A frog hopped onto the desk, right next to the ring. “Aww! He’s kinda cute!” the antagonist squealed. “Why would they send me such a harmless–” the frog swallows the dark ring, full of powerful magic that the villain had worked so hard to get his hands on for years….…[Read more]
