Here’s a collage for a novella I haven’t even hinted at on here, (So conniving) mostly as it has not a working title.

Or character names. For anyone. (I’ve written most of the first chapter without even an idea yet. And I plot. Not pants.)

Anyway, here’s my MC!

@godlyfantasy12

Aaaggghhhh! All I want to do now is somehow drag your published work out of the future, curl up in an invisible corner, and trade this world for A’Grend.

*Sigh*

The impossible wishes of an imagination.

@godlyfantasy12

*I sand in stupefied wonder at the door. Such an intriguing hall, such high stacks of locked chests hiding who knows what secrets…*

What gave you this idea!?

I have so many spoilers, most of them back-stories for charries. Like the reason behind Viktor’s best friend’s loathing of Dorwinian boots. Or which certain MCs will end…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76

Oh, and thank you for sharing! It was good.

I’m often too hesitant to share any of my actual work, but I need to stop that. 😉

I hope your day continues to get better!

By the way, I totally get the whole tragic-story-makes-you-cry-even-though-you-wrote it thing. Especially when it’s based off a real event. I may have a few of…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76

Oof, that’s HARD! And well done wrenching out your reader’s heart strings. 😉

Your story sounds amazing, and from what I can tell from this clip, you’re writing over a time that is often ignored in YA historical fiction: the season of healing. Am I right?

By the way, if you are interested in the Jewish side of WWII, have you…[Read more]

*A catlike figure, draped in a dark cloak, slips noiselessly into the Kingdom Pen Hall. It slides up to a table and drops a parchment next to a miniature castle. Many apologies, it whispers, then vanishes into the shadows.*

@koshka (’cause I know this of all my WIPs is your favorite.) @joy-caroline @godlyfantasy12

I have made another random collage. This (submitted above) one is for Winifrith Aetheling, a MC from my Kingdom of Shadows series. I really liked how it turned out, especially since I didn’t envision something I’d hers being in that color scheme.

For…[Read more]

@lydia-s

Yes! It’s such fun.

You saw David?

Totally not jealous. (I say sarcastically, a small smile touching the corner of my mouth.)

We have been listening to the soundtrack/music for it as soon as it came out.😂

Thanks!

@kathleenramm

I LOVE world building, and my characters are very dear to me. I can spend hours on the first, and the second have been introduced to my friends and family as acqaintances of highest regard.

However, what I like best about both of them, is how they contain bits and pieces of real stories. Even my WIP that would not at all be…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76

First, my apologies for the belatedness of this response. Thankfully I haven’t forgotten that I didn’t reply yet, as has happened on occasion. (If I ever don’t reply to something for a looong time, that is probably exactly what happened.)

Medieval Fantasy has been quite the adventure to write! I don’t know if I’m good at it or…[Read more]

@keilah-h @power @e-m-trepke

Apologies for the late response! My cousins were visiting all week! 🙂 I’m going to assume it’s alright if I take a turn since no one else has yet!

An ice crystal slid down his sleeve and fell to the dirty tile beneath his feet. The room their group had evacuated into was significantly warmer than the…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

For my current WIP it would either be the themes or characters, as they are heavily intertwined. It’s the first project I was able to pin down a point of focus before starting the book.

(I don’t pants, however I’m not sure if what I do counts as plotting. I have nearly the entire storyline in my head, but only a few scenes figured,…[Read more]

Greetings, @freedomwriter76 and welcome to KP!

I’m called Elishavet around here, and I mostly write realistic(no magic) medieval fantasy. I also write poetry and children’s church material.

While I have never actually written historical fiction, I love to read it. One thing I like about the genre I do write is that I can work in as many random…[Read more]

Viktor

Silence descended upon them, letting only thought move. Viktor fingered his sling and waited for the sound of heavy footsteps.

Rough leather between his fingers, smooth stones at his belt. He glanced at Alya. She clutched her torch and gave him something like a smile.

What would happen…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Ah, good question. I’m far from an expert on this, but I have been in a similar situation with some characters.

His name was Reúven, my MCs closest friend who in some ways was like a mentor. He was also on the edge of being perfect and flat. He wasn’t really human.

So I stepped back and looked at his character. After a bit of…[Read more]

So, I’m still working on my playlists, which is why I haven’t shared any songs yet.

But I really want to share some!!! So, here we are.

Oh, by the way, @Koshka and @lydia-s You have good taste. 😉 Sight and Sound is awesome! They’re one of the first I go to for bookish songs.

Also, I have had a hard time getting songs for my…[Read more]
