@kathleenramm I think for me it was probably plot and themes. I remember when I first started writing I didn’t really know what themes I wanted to write about, how to incorporate them, or if I even wanted a theme. Now I think that everything I write has multiple themes woven throughout, though I can’t quite tell what they are. (This is why I…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver Would I like to sprint? Yes. Do I have homework to do? Yes.

@e-p-writes

Okay, I’m going to reopen The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes now. Even from what I read, though it wasn’t my favorite, I still learned a lot about writing from it. The writing style really inspired me to develop mine.

I love how you described it like poetry or song. Because it’s so true, yet it’s not blatant or distracting. Which is…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Awesome idea! And since I have unlimited power with whatever is created on the site *chuckles evilly* Biblical Fiction is now a topic under “Genre Fiction”!

If there is any technical issues with it, just let me know and I’ll get right on it!

@faith-q

Haha, well, it doesn’t really have to be exciting to be unexpected.

Like the amount of times I’ve gotten story ideas out of an unexpected look, laugh, or hello is absurd.

Have you ever gotten an idea for a certain trait for a character from a person you know?

@cathrynv

That’s cool. Now you’ll have to credit Evanescence as a co-writer…[Read more]

@e-p-writes

Oof, yeah. Present tense first person isn’t something I’ve ever tried, but I can already see it going terribly wrong, haha.

The ending is pretty good? I was always a little curious about how it was going to end, but know I’m even more intrigued. I guess I’m going to have to finish it then!

As for your questions about The Hunger…[Read more]

Do we still exist

Ranting about my new novel idea to myself in the depths of my soul. Will I share anything more than a few cryptic words? No.

@kathleenramm Plenty of places that I don’t even remember. Probably something similar to your waffle house experience. If I remember I’ll let you know.

@e-p-writes

Welcome to KP! It’s fantastic to have you!

Yo, your favorite food are definitely top tier foods.

Blue used to be my favorite color, until I started liking other colors too much and now I’m just confused, haha.

I love The Hunger Games! Each time I read it I pick up on something new. I also love how deep the POV is and how the three…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Oh, almost everything. That you had to follow prose conventions taught in school or plot outlines that followed a specific formula, that your character had to go through a very specific and obvious development, that you had to write something that followed all of these things with a reasonable and expected ending…

None of those…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Oh wow. YOUR ART IS AMAZING. When I first saw it I had to double check that I was on the KP forum and not an art forum, haha. It’s seriously that good.

How did you learn to draw?

Also, Heroic Legend of Arslan looks like a really cool novel series. Do you recommend?

@godlyfantasy12

Awesome idea! I’ll make sure to check back regularly.

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

Dude, Shrek be spitin’ straight facts tho. Thanks for sharing this inspirational message. I really needed it today.

@melancholic-writer

The Premise to your WIP sound interesting! Do you have any favorite characters from the novel yet?

Also, flying is an awesome choice. I’d probably choose the same thing. If I could fly, I’d probably hang out on rooftops and trees all the time, haha.

@kathleenramm I pretty much just practiced writing for a while, then I took a couple of courses on style and things, and then I just wrote a ton until sometime last year when I felt like my style is more like what it is now. And it’s still developing, though right now I’m finally finding it satisfactory.

@scripter-of-kingdoms

Ugh, I could go on forever with characters too, haha.

Out of all the character you’ve created, do you have one you know the best?

@devastate-lasting

Yo, I’m not even surprised that people always compliment you on your pros. It’s one of a kind.

Was pros something that came naturally to you or did you have to work on…[Read more]

@melancholic-writer

Hi! Welcome to the Kingdom of Pen! It’s awesome to have you here!

Just a few questions to get to know each other better:

1. What’s the premise of your fantasy novel?

2. When and why did you start writing?

3. Would you rather be able to breath underwater or fly?

Great to meet your acquaintance! Catch you…[Read more]

@daisy-torres

Wow, I love that!  The dancing was really good!!  I’m super impressed, there’s no way I could do that XDDD
