Jodi Maile started the topic Choosing a Writing Platform?? in the forum Publishing & Platform 2 years, 5 months ago
Hello, my friends! It’s been a minute since I was last on here. I’ve missed you all!
I have a question for any of you who have tried writing platforms similar to Wattpad, for context. I recently finished co-writing a book with my sister and we’re not sure what we want to do with it yet, so we’ve decided to try uploading it to a writing site over…[Read more]

Madelyn started the topic What Makes An Allegory Impactful? in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 2 years, 6 months ago
Hey y’all!
So, I’m dipping my toes into allegories…
Who am I kidding, I’m diving right in!!
I would love all y’all’s input on this subject! Namely, what are some of your favorite Christian allegorical stories and what made them impactful? What parts drove to your heart? Narnia is definitely on the top of my list of Christian allegories, so i…[Read more]

Faith Q. started the topic Y'all help me storm my brain!!!! in the forum Plotting 2 years, 6 months ago
Okay, y’all, I need a brainstorming partner… or two… or as many as I can find, haha…
It’ll actually be for two separate projects. One is a middle-grade contemporary novel, and the other is a YA fantasy. If you’re up for helping me brainstorm, either (or both!) need work, so anyone who can, pretty much? I’ll give the tags here, and then put…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing your…[Read more]

Oh my goodness! I love the poem! It definitely pulls at me and I really like the rhythm, it flows really well. I’d say definitely publish it to your blog!
I love writing poetry, it gets my heart out more than talking or regular prose ever has. I can paint out the pictures in my mind without worrying about being too descriptive…[Read more]

Beautiful. It never ceases to amaze me how a simple choice of words and rhythm can convey such various feelings. Your choice seems to give a broken hearted yet flowing stream of thought.
I would consider smoothing the rhythms or word choice so that the sentences work together a little smoother, but it is lovely as it is. Well…[Read more]

If you clicked on this topic because of the interesting title, I feel obliged to tell you first off that this is not about the practice of fire starting 🔥
Sorry to disappoint you, but, please, stick around!! 😉
Today I have a simple question for y’all:
How do you go from an semi-fleshed-out idea to a real plot? How do you build a bridge from a s…[Read more] -

Yay, it went through! The forum can be iffy like that sometimes.
Glad to be of service! As I said, it’s a beautiful poem, and I hope it will encourage a lot of people! Have you considered submitting poetry to the KP blog?
That’s so true!! Poetry is my happy place ✨ It does seem to often resonate deeper than just prose.

Faith Q. started the topic Me idea in the forum Plotting 2 years, 7 months ago
Okay, so last night I got this amazing idea. At least I think it sounds amazing. But my problem is, it also sounds a bit cliche.
The problem is, I don’t get out much. Honestly, I’m pretty picky about what I read, so modern secular works are very rarely added to the list, and I am pretty clueless about what’s actually on the shelves. I know I…[Read more]

Hey-o!
For one, I LOVE your poem!! As someone who has struggled with chronic pain in the past, I can really see the beauty in it. I’m sure it will be an encouragement to others 🙂
I love the theme of total dependence on God. Though trials are confusing and bring us low, His Hand is in it all, He is our Rock in our time of…[Read more]

Hi everyone!
As you may remember, I recently started my blog. Many of you have subscribed, and I’m so grateful for that!
However, I’m struggling a little bit right now trying to learn how it all works. I’m quite new to the blogosphere, so I don’t quite understand some things, or I’d like advice on how to do them better. For example:…[Read more]

Oy, well, this took a little longer than I thought. *glares at loathsome procrastinating self, my LPS* I had meant to answer A LOT sooner, respond to each of you individually, and definitely NOT wait almost a full month before responding.
As you can see, that didn’t happen.
But thank you all so, so, so, SO, SOOOO much for the stories! I’m…[Read more]

You definitely did not see my profile picture on Pinterest, where I definitely did not get it from. My profile 110% very unique and original. 🙂
It seems like most people get drained from writing. Has there ever been an exception for you? Like a certain chapter that made you excited and energized at…[Read more]

Ooh, great idea!! I have lots of funny stories up my sleeves… 😛
So my family always has a big family dinner for Thanksgiving, with the aunt, uncle, cousins (SO MANY COUSINS), grandparents, great-grandparents, random friends that are essentially family, etc. A couple years ago my dad’s parents decided to host it. It was a BLAST of a…[Read more]

Okay, y’all, so I recently finished my YA fantasy novel.
*cues the high-pitched screams*
But my next project is a middle-grade novel featuring a 12-year-old MC who gets herself into all sorts of scrapes.
The problem is, I’m not naturally a humorous writer. It’s something I’m trying to work on in this story, true, but a very not funny writer…[Read more]

@autumn-rebecca Yeah, it’s helped me grow so much, and in just a month too! My Writerscore went from 70 to 79 in the full time I’ve been there. I also love the lesson they’re doing for this month, it has been very empowering for me.

Hello, one and all! For those of you who are newer, we used to have some topics called “Writer’s Corner” or something like that, but I’m far too lazy to search for the previous ones or consult how many of these we have been through, so we can just start a new one.
This thread is just a place for off-topic chats, where we can talk about our day or…[Read more]
