@daeus or @aratrea I think there’s something wrong with my book so far. I’m pretty sure it has to do with characterization, but I can’t put my finger on what exactly is wrong. Can you guys read through it or something, and help me figure it out?

I took some game designing courses on Youth Digital, and now they’re having a contest just for their students to make a project and a commercial for it. I just entered with a commercial for my current WIP, Spy Star, and what they’re going to do is first, some people from Youth Digital are going to pick the top five commercials entered in the…[Read more]

So, about this, @aratrea. Is this something you think would be valuable to the KP community?

So, I have a new baby sister that was due to arrive very early September.
Unfortunately, she is lying sideways, and that is bad.
On Friday, Mom, Dad, and I are going to the hospital, and they are going to attempt to turn the baby.
If that is successful, then Mom will just have a natural birth.
If it isn’t successful, then she needs to have a…[Read more]

@daeus, I currently have the Silmarillion out from my library at the moment, I’m planning to read it soon.
@that_writer_girl_99 No worries, not every is into classics! I have read The Chronicles of Narnia and they are some of my favourite books!
@aratrea, thanks!
@Christi-eaton, my mum actually suggested I listen to Les Mis today, so I might get…[Read more]

@aratrea Possibly… I just thought the fact that his relationship with his son wasn’t everything he had hoped it would be was sad. 😛

I just finished it (again 😛 ) and I have to say, I think I enjoyed his story a little more the second time round – not because I knew what was going to happen though (I had a vague idea, but I couldn’t remember…[Read more]

@ck4always Not much. 🙂 You?

@emma-flournoy Why, thank you. *bows*

@aratrea Not super far, unfortunately. Pretty much all the characters are figured out, but the hard part is where to begin. I guess you could say I’m still in the planning stages…

@aratrea Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll look into it.

@aratrea Probably Tolkien, but I have yet to explore many of the great books out there so the list isn’t set in stone.

@daughteroftheking I love the Lord of the Rings and the Chronicles of Narnia. I also enjoy reading the Inheritance Cycle. I unfortunately have not gotten to many classics as of yet 🙂

@jane-maree THANK YOU THANK YOU! *returns…[Read more]

@aratrea That’s a really interesting question… One thing I find sad is that Aquila’s relationship with his son isn’t all he had hoped it would be, so for one thing I’d probably tweak that a little and make them more friendly with each other. 🙂

@emma-flournoy Hi and thank you! I actually have a lot of favorite movies. All the Pirates of the Caribbean and Mission: Impossible, God’s Not Dead 2, and Guardians of the Galaxy, to name a few.

@kate-flournoy Thank you. Yeah, I don’t know if I’m an introverted extrovert, or an introvert with extroverted tendencies. Cool! What kind of poetr…[Read more]

@aratrea Well, it only takes a three or four chapters before his home is destroyed and all that happens. He lives with hate and bitterness for a long time, especially since when he finally finds his sister, she is now the wife of the Saxon man that carried her off and has a child, and when he asks her to escape with him, she stays. It’s not until…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy thanks for the poem and for the protection 😀

@jane-maree I feel honored to eat your pizza. Maybe it will motivate me to finish unpacking my dorm.

@emma-flournoy …everything? I love improvising on hymns, sight-reading and learning classical pieces, and messing with Disney/La La Land/random other musical music, and occasionally…[Read more]

@aratrea Well… it’s been a while since I’ve done these videos, so please excuse if I’m a little vague 😉 However, my friend and I have still been writing our story, and the character I’m focusing on in the homework has started her arc a little now 😀

Characteristic Moment Well, at the start of the characters’ journey, Amrei (I can’t even…[Read more]

@jess-penrose @aratrea Yes! That one is great! And it even reflected in the actual writing, I found. *Spoiler alert* 😉 Everything about him and in him seemed shrouded in darkness. Though he’s a good person and tries to do what’s right, he’s trapped in lies and darkness from his past. When he changes, everything feels so much clearer, his…[Read more]

Great ideas, @kate-flournoy. Physical mail would be awesome to get as a reader. The only problem is getting addresses and non-continental shipping.

Alright, @aratrea! This is an official petition that I be allowed to interview Nadine a second time.

@majerot Tags like mine, Josiah’s, and snappers are a bit tricky.

Mine is @that_writer_girl_99

Snappers’ is @dragon-Snapper

And Josiah’s is @aratrea

I’m just starting my sophomore year of college (I just graduated high school) so I understand how little time you have. Here’s to hoping you get that time back!

@aratrea

Yes it helps , I updated my character file today, my deleting was a whole paragraph of me contradicting my whole plot, and thousands of words.

@aratrea Yes, Vulture is one of the best MCU villains. You should see if you can watch either the TV series or the movie with Adam West… it’s pretty funny!

I’m so glad that KP was founded. It is so much fun to see what other Christian authors write and is also very inspiring!
