First, I just wanna say that I’m SO enjoying your blog! It’s like, AMAZING!

I don’t blog (yet), so I’m pretty much in the same boat as you. XD

BUT I think I can hopefully answer your question about getting people to comment on your posts. For me, as a reader I feel the most encouraged to comment when the blogger ends the…[Read more]

No words. That was amazing!

AWW THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You’re so sweet!! Eep thanks! 😊 <3

Aw thank you for the encouragement that means a lot!!! Me too! YES! It’s been super fun to write! 😄

OOoooh your story idea sounds so cool!!! I love how you’re going to do the POVs! That’s super cool, especially with the middle brother being the main POV. That’s an awesome opportunity for some internal (and external conflict)! Love it!

Some questions…

1. Is there magic in your story, or are the boy’s powers more like…[Read more]

Hahah that’ literally my family xD

Ooh that’s so cool!!

Of course!

Yeah, they open registration I think twice a year. They had it open in January, so that’s when I joined. YWW is a lot like KP, but bigger and it’s like $40 a month. So, expensive, but worth it. I highly, HIGHLY recommend it. I think registration is opening again in August, and if you go to their website, I think…[Read more]

OOH The Authors Conservatory is awesome!!! I’m not a part of it yet, but I’ve seriously considered and researched it, and I’m planning to apply for it my last year of high school (Lord willing).

First of all: I totally get your struggle! That’s so real and you’re definitely not alone. I just joined the Young Writers…[Read more]

YESS! I know, I love him so much XDD

Of course! Aww I’m so glad that encouraged you!!! It is so hard times, but…so worth it too!

I know aren’t they the bestest?!! XD

I do! I’m currently working on a dystopian trilogy. I can’t say too much, because I’m not sure what I can and can’t say yet (spoilers XD) if you know what I mean.…[Read more]

Ikr! Ohh love the name! That’s really cool (it definitly does)!

Ooo yes!!

*What language are you singing in?

@trahia-the-minstrel @mkfairygirl @avacoulter )

No I haven’t! WAIT…actually?!?! Cuz I am 100% here for it!

AhHhHhHhHhHhHh noooo that’s so frustrating XD *glares a technology*

Same lol! I cried when I got home, but I couldn’t in the theater.

Haha ikr?! *adds movie quotes from NWH to personal vocabulary*

It was a satisfying end, I will admit! That makes sense! Ya, I know what you mean.

Did they?! I hope so!

Me too!

Oh cool! Oh wow you…[Read more]

Ooo! I’d love to read it if you do!

I haven’t seen all of the Star Wars, but they are awesome! And Marvel!!!! *Starts geeking out* Ya, it can be confusing sometimes lol!

@abigail-m

Aww thank you Abigail!! That literally made me smile so big XD

Oh no worries lol!!

Hahaha thanks! *laughs* I think I still have it somewhere 😂🤦‍♀️

That is SO true! Yes community is so important (and vital even)!

I don’t! It’s definitely one of my goals to start a blog sometime this year tho!

Oh that’s awesome!! What’s your blog called? Could you send me a link? I also love checking out…[Read more]

Oooh yes! I LOVE sci-fi/dystopian stuff. Like, I’m obsessed with it. XD

I’ll have to check it out! 😉

Oh neat!! Yess I love those genres too! *fist bump*

YES!!! Literally same, besides Legolas of course (XD)

That’s awesome!!! That’s cool that you’re branching out into the mystery genre too! I’ve been following along with your Know the Novel thingamajiger and ohmygoodness Black Cat just looks SO COOL!

I gotta say the characters. Especially writing their voices and character arcs.…[Read more]

Thank you!! (Oh cool haha! I’ve actually never seen that!)

@elishavet-pidyon

Aww thanks!!! 🙂

Thank you! Yes, that’s very true!

Of course! Lol, agreed! So true…it’s interesting to see what each project teaches me. I’ve learned so much through writing (and not just about the writing process and prose and such, but also life and about God’s heart. It’s been pretty cool!) in such a short amount of time.

Haha that’s…[Read more]

Thanks! 🙂

Of course! Oh that’s really cool! That would super cool to be able to draw maps for your own worlds and stuff!

Thank you!! *grins* I like yours as well!

@jodi-maile

Heh, I literally do the same thing! Oh that’s awesome! For a while I considered writing for films and such, but I decided to just stick to…[Read more]

Ahhh SAME!!! It was really sad tho!!! Like, uhhhhh😭 It’ll be interesting to see what Marvel does with it.

Oh funn!!! I went on the 18th with some friends and my brother’s friends. I knowwww I love that scene too! I haven’t seen the Amazing Spider Man movies yet, but I totally got that reference, which was SO cool!! All my friends were…[Read more]

Awww of course!!! 😊

IKR?!?! XDD

Those are all great characters!! I really like Sam too! Oh, and Bilbo, although I like him more in the Hobbit than in LotR. (Haha literally same!)

What’s your favorite thing about writing? What genres do you usually write in?

Hi Katherine! *waves back at you*

I gotta say I’m a HUGE fan of TWN!

Ooo yess! Legolas is definitely my top tier, but I also love Pippin and Merry 😀

What’s yours?

@kathleenramm

It is! I’m really thankful to have found such cool communities like KP!

Nicee! *fan girls*

It sounds amazing! I knowww I NEED TO READ IT!…[Read more]

*Waves* Aww thank you! I like yours too! 🙂

Basically, a dystopia is the opposite of a utopia. So usually, a dystopian story is set in the future usually with a corrupt government, futuristic stuff, and some kind of disease or war that like makes things…messy XD. Like, an apocalypse sorta idk.

It really is! I’ve written a…[Read more]

Wow, I’m also late to this XD

Holiday stuff, ya know…

Those covers are gorgeous! I especially liked the second one! The details are awesome, and I love the titles! That’s so cool that you can draw like that too. I mostly just use Canva for my graphics/covers, and even that is pretty difficult (for me anyways) XD

I…[Read more]

Hello and welcome to KP!

Also, sorry this is kinda (more like really) late XD

My name is Ava and I write mostly sci-fi/dystopian stuff, but I also write a little fantasy and poetry at times. 🙂

That’s cool that you write non-fiction too! I’ve never been brave enough to actually write it, although I enjoy reading it.

I guess…[Read more]

Yeah for sure! I haven’t seen it yet! I’m kinda behind on Marvel movies rn (i.e. Hawkeye, Shang Chi, the Loki Show…) Yaaaa I know XD

I did get to watch NWH, which was amazing (and heart breaking tbh) Have you seen it?

My church is pretty big, so idk. I am on the youth worship team tho (just for vocals), which has been super fun! So…[Read more]

It really is! I’m enjoying it 🙂

@anatra23

Oh yeah! My brothers were the same way (and still kind of are) but they respect him, especially after his arc came full circle in End Game. It is intriguing! Marvel’s character developments are priceless.

I used to take a lot of lessons for more classical piano, but recently I’ve been…[Read more]

I just think he’s an awesome avenger and I love his character arc. He’s also just really funny (a pain sometimes) but has a good heart XD (pun intended) I also love the father/son relationship between him and Peter Parker. I just…I dunno lol. Do you not like Iron Man?

It is! Ahh you should totally watch it sometime! It’s heart…[Read more]

I knowww! Yeah, it’s definitely make it or break it for me too. Uhhh Marvel. XD you love it and you hate it.

Ugh, I know they’re all so good! I love Cap and Spiderman. Especially spiderman XD.

Ohhh my gosh Black Widow!!! I love her movie, it was even better than I expected it to be! Gahhh they’re all so good! I love black panther too…[Read more]

Oh awesome! I like that about short stories too. Although I tend to make them too long and drawn out XD

@joy-caroline

Ikr! I should!

Aww that’s awesome!! I was kind of similar. When I was around 5-11 I would write short stories and novellas and “publish” them with tape, staples and printer paper XDD. And then when I was…[Read more]

Yeah, for sure 🙂

I used to write a ton of cringe worthy short stories, but I think I got kinda tired of writing them XD. I’ve just been working on my main project, although I would like to get back into writing short stories cuz they’re good practice. But yeah. *shrugs*

What about you?

@joy-caroline

Ikr?! Yess pasta is…[Read more]

Very cool!! I like writing the endings too, it’s satisfying, although I have trouble not drawing it out too much or making it too happy XD

@kathleenramm

Oh cool! She’s actually the one who pointed me to KP and encouraged me to join the forum. That would be so cool! Yeah, she’s inspiring!

That’s so true (about…[Read more]

That’s awesome! I’m pretty new to writing seriously, so I’ve never actually completed a novel yet.

I think my fave part about the writing process is character arcs. I love finding my charries unique voices and being able to write them in their different journeys. What about you?

@anatra23

I love spider-man! Are you excited…[Read more]

AHhHh I love the end too! But then, I also hate it if you know what I mean *cries silently*

I know the themes in it are BEAUTIFUL! I love the poetry too! Peterson is an incredible author!

Do you like troll poetry? I don’t always understand it very well, but I must admit…those trolls are talented XDD

Yaaa me no like licorish XD

Yes…[Read more]

Hi Joy! It’s so nice to meet you!

Oh awesome! I haven’t read much biblical fiction, but the stuff that I have I absolutely loved. Especially Francine River’s Lineage of Grace Series.

That sounds SOO cool! I love St. Paul and Acts is one of my fave books of the Bible. And Temira is such a pretty name!!

Ooh my favorite food’s gotta…[Read more]

Haha, ikr!

I don’t, actually…yet. I’m a definitely a pantser when it comes to writing novels (especially a series), so I usually don’t have a good premise until I finish it lol. But basically *doesn’t know how to summarize without spoilers and without making it sound boring* it’s about a dystopian society called Kalopsia…[Read more]

I think my favorite has gotta be my current WIP, which is a dystopian trilogy. I just love the setting, the plot, and the characters are just awesome!

What about you?

Oh that sounds SOO cool! I’d totally read that! That’s cool that you write with your sister too! I have 4 siblings, but none of them like to write XD. Although, my little brother is one of my main beta readers, which has been interesting lol.

That’s awesome! I haven’t written many short stories (mostly cuz when I do, they end up…[Read more]

Hi Lin! Nice to meet you!

Umm *thinks* I have no idea XD

Thanks! Oh cool!! It’s SO good, I love it XD

I know, I’m the same way 😛

What is your current WIP about (if you have one) and what inspired you to write it?

Oh cool! Yeah, a lot of my friends have read it and loved it, so…I’ll guess I’ll get around to reading it someday lol. *Glances at mile long to-read list*

Yes! Of course!

That’s hard to say, because even when I was little, I’d write little stories and “publish” them via printer paper, tape, and staples XDD. I’ve always dreamed…[Read more]
