I just finished my “secret project” on the 30th and it’s the first full novel for ages, so I’m very happy about that. I haven’t done anything short except articles for KP but I want to do some more short stories this year because I miss them.

We didn’t do anything fancy for Christmas and it was just my immediate family and my…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Sounds cozy. 🙂

I read your post where you said you’d read a hundred books this year, and…wow.  I really need to get back into reading.  I realized that’s why I haven’t been able to write: I just haven’t read enough books lately.   How’s your writing been going?  Have you written any short pieces lately?

Yeah, things have been…[Read more]

@rochellaine

The future so far has consisted of being snuggled up in bed listening to an audiobook while it rains. So it’s going pretty good.

I’m tired but pretty good! Can’t wait for the holidays to end so thing’s get a little less crazy.

@seekjustice

Salute from the past! 😀

How’s the future turning out for you? 😉

I’m doing great.  It’s been a really crazy year, but still, there were some wonderful things that happened as well. 🙂

How are you?

@rochellaine

Hello y’all. I’m currently in 2021 while the rest of you are stuck in 2020.

(Sorry, I just had to do that)

How are you?

@jenwriter17 @alia @valtmy @dekreel @catwing @gracie-girl @seekjustice

Anyone around?  I’ll be here for a while.

@nova21 I’m planning on self-publishing. 🙂

@gracie-j Thanks, I will! 😀

@nova21 I have no idea, lol XD I’ll just start it whenever I finish editing this one (maybe February??)

I’ve been kind of taking a break in December, but I am so pumped to get back at it come January (even if it is editing). I’m currently working on editing my superhero novel, the first in a duology. Editing is a struggle for me, but it’s still fun at times and going pretty well. 🙂

@writerlexi1216 My word of advice would be to listen to real people talk. Listen to conversations and take note of elements that stick out to you. Surprisingly, people talk over each other a lot, don’t finish their sentences, etc. And depending on the age, there could be slang appropriate for the time period. Hope that helps! 🙂

@issawriter17 Thanks!! 😀

@issawriter17 Your blog looks awesome! 😀 I run a second blog (https://projectinspirehome.wordpress.com/) for inspiring and equipping artists; it’d be cool if we could do a collab some time. 🙂

@devastate-lasting oh my word XD

Welcome to KP, @issawriter17 ! 😀 Great to meet you! Glad to see another speculative fiction writer. AND a blogger? Awesome! I’m sure if you drop the link to your blog we’d all like to check it out. 😉

I’m dead XD

@gracie-j

I don’t have many opinions on the Civil War in fiction. I literally don’t think I have ever read a book set in the Civil War? Ever?? Nope, I’m pretty sure I haven’t. However! I do have opinions on the Revolutionary War. My family is English (my grandparents came out to Aus in the late 60s, and my cousins and other family members still…[Read more]

Right on! *thumbs up*

This is cool! 😀

@kathleenramm

That’s quite hard for me to answer! Death scenes are hard for me to write emotionally speaking, especially as someone who has had two very beloved family members die traumatically. It’s just hard for me to treat them as blase as I used to when I was a younger writer and I struggle with them quite a lot.

More mentally though, stupid…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver

I’m around too if you ever want to drop me a line 😀 We sound like we’re at pretty similar stages in writing. I started writing when I was ten or eleven but I’ve been writing seriously (for me, that means with the goal of being traditionally published) since I was about sixteen, so almost five years now working towards being…[Read more]
