@devastate-lasting
Wow, thirteen years is a pretty long time to be playing piano.For writing projects… well, I have a whole list of new stories to make (or updates to make on old ones), but I haven’t gotten to them yet. I have a lot of school and other activities, so it’s hard to find time for those things now. My five-year-old brother just…[Read more]

That sounds cool, @keilah-h, even if it’s not completely original. I’d like to see it if you’re able to find it!

Wow, that’s a lot of writing, @jodi-maile! I love fantasy, and that’s a great idea to get in the habit of writing one short story a month. I might have to try that.
Thanks so much for offering to help with my book! When my parents are done editing, I might just have to take you up on that offer.
I mostly do modern fashion styles, but sometimes…[Read more]

Yeah, WFS characters are so hard to decide on because there are so many of them and their personalities are all so unique.
Same for me on drawing. I draw people (and mermaids), and sometimes I draw fashion just for fun, or I’ll make maps or fantasy creatures.
Yes, I do like poetry. I mostly write short little rhymes, so…[Read more]

Nice to meet you, @anatra23
Yeah, WFS is so good. I’m nowhere near Andrew Peterson’s level of writing expertise. I have listened to some of his music, and that’s pretty good. I like his books better, though.
I like classical music too. Some songs are really fun to play. As I said above, I self-taught myself for one year when I was first starting…[Read more]

Yes, I will be self-publishing Identity, since it’s the first book that I plan to publish.
I started teaching myself piano six years ago (which lasted about one year), then I had a teacher on and off for three years, and now I have been teaching myself for three more years. So in all, I’ve been playing for seven years. I…[Read more]

@annabelle Hey there! Welcome to the Kingdom! My name is Jodi. I write fantasy, historical fiction, and dystopia. I’ve been doing one short story a month for about the past eight months, but I’ve recently started working on a novella-length project. I’m also co-writing a fantasy/mystery book with my sister.
That’s so cool that you’re about to…[Read more]

Hullo and welcome. I’m Anatra.
YES Wingfeather Saga! Such a beautiful book series. Andrew Peterson is so talented, have you heard any of his music?
I do a little art… usually only making random ideas that pop into my head and trying to make something beautiful out of them. For instance, recently someone wanted me to draw a c…[Read more]

I wish I’d known how to create more relatable characters that people can actually see in their minds and have unique personalities that make the book more interesting. Some of the stories I wrote when I was younger are kind of just books of facts. For example, “The girl did this. Then she did that. Then she did the other thing.”. That’s kind of…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon
Yeah, I like Artham, mostly because his wings are just so… cool. By the way, do you know of a name for a fantasy creature (besides an angel, if they can be considered fantasy), that has wings like that? -
Annabelle replied to the topic Hello!! in the forum Start HERE 2 years, 11 months ago
It’s nice to meet you too, @elishavet-pidyon!
Well, for piano, I really like playing modern music made for piano solos. Have you heard of The Piano Guys? I play some of their song arrangements, like “A Million Dreams”, “Perfect”, and “Angels We Have Heard on High.” I also play worship music (normally I use a lead sheet for chords and then make my…[Read more]

I wish I knew how to space a story properly back when. Reading back at some old stuff and seeing random bursts of quick action and then time skips, it’s a little frustrating.
Also that my stories don’t have to be a certain length. Oof, I would beat myself up about not having a specific number of words.

@kathleenramm When I first started writing, I wish I had known that it’s okay to make sloppy first drafts. Trying to make my story great the first time slowed me down and often left me discouraged about my writing.

I doubt they’d kill him off in Hawkeye, but in a future movie or series, maybe. He’s just come so far, and now they’re taking all this time to develop him with new characters, so the only reason he would die would be to develop the new friend he made in the tv series.

Hey everyone!
I LOVE WINGFEATHER!!! I have been obsessed with it for the last year and I barely have anyone to share my obsession with. Now I do!!
Oh my goodness, Janner’s death is just pure devastation. I cried so hard (thankfully I was listening to it on audio so I didn’t wreck the book).
My favorite character is probably Janner, although…[Read more]

Hi everyone!
My name is Annabelle, and I just recently joined Kingdom Pen. I’m super excited to start exploring this site and get to know all you fellow writers!
First, a little bit about me: I have always liked creating stories, and currently I am getting ready to publish my drama/fantasy/action book called Identity, which is about mermaids.…[Read more]

No Way Home is exiting! I’m not taking it as seriously as my brother, (he bought tickets the hour they went on sale) but I’m still curious to see where they take it. Especially since a lot of people think Marvel should redeem the Mysterio plot of Far From Home. I’m also very happy a new Spider-Verse movie’s coming out: Spider-man…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Many, many things. I wish I’d known how to format dialogue properly, I wish I’d known that I didn’t need to follow every single piece of writing advice I’d ever seen to the letter, and most importantly, I wish I’d realized that characters are what make a story interesting. Plot does as well, but it is secondary to the emotional pull…[Read more]

Spider-man is top tier–how many Spider-man movies have you seen? Just the Marvel strict, or Andrew Garfield, and Toby Maguire included?
I absolutely loved Bucky’s arc… and definitely not because it gave Rogers more screen time…Hawkeye is very good so far! It’s a Christmas themed show now, I guess, with how much they’ve woven…[Read more]
