@catwing *grins at ink flying in all directions* You are relatively new, right? I think I read your intro post but I was busy that day and unfortunately didn’t get to say hi. I’m really glad you are here! Kingdom Pen is awesome, isn’t it?

@salome01w4g @catwing @seekjustice I’m editing! 😉 It’s been a while but the Inky Rose is here to splatter you all with black drops of inspiration.

@theacornman I was forced into doing drama and discovered I loved it. You get to experience a character in a whole new way-you *become* them. You have to know every intimate detail about them. To this day, I act out my character’s emotions when I am trying to determine how to describe what they are feeling.
At the same time, I understand that…[Read more]

@aratrea Don’t worry- we’ll be glad to have it whenever it comes. I’m sure that the wait will be good for us-patience, you know, is always a virtue. 🙂 Maybe you could do a special Christmas bundle of books and mini-courses at the end of November.

@theacornman Oooo, sequels! Fun fun fun. All the best on persevering. I don’t know when it is releasing, but Kingdom Pen has a lovely and immensely helpful ebook on time management for Christian authors that has really given me perspective. I would highly reccomend it. @daeus @aratrea @sarah-spradlin Do you know when it is coming out?
Hmmm, well,…[Read more]

@theacornman Sounda like great fun!! I’ve always been attracted to characters struggling deeply morally and emotionally. 🙂 Do you have a climax determined?
Yes, I’m really excited! Yes, there are no alternate races or magic or new worlds or portals-not because I’m against those but because they just don’t belong in this story. I do plan on…[Read more]

@theacornman My novel is about a girl’s fight for joy and hope. I wouldn’t say it is classic fantasy, but that is the closest main genre. I’m having lots of fun characterizing the villains and doing research for the setting (a supervolcano.)
What is your MC like in your novel?

Salutations, @theacornman Welcome! 😀 How did you find Kingdom Pen? In my very unbiased opinion, it is the bestistest place on the Internet.
What is your novel about? I’m currently working on my first novel too. 😉

@aratrea How did I miss this??!!!!! I’m so excited I think I’ll throw a party! The new design is so sleek and as you said, more elegant. I remembered a rumor saying something regarding a mobile friendly site. I’m beyond thrilled to hear it is coming to fruition!! I am one of those daily mobile users.

Ooo! This will be another thing I can Spread…[Read more]

@Lady-PenDragon Glad to meet you! 😉 What is your favorite character from your current project like?

@aratrea @anne-of-lothlorien I agree, it sounds like a really good potential initiative! 😀

@aratrea Ooooh, that sounds like a great idea! I hope y’all end up doing it. I think that is definitely something that would bless young writers.
My mentor and I correspond over email and sometimes PM. I wish we could meet in person, but she lives many states away.
We just started, so nothing super concrete yet with timing. However, I try to be…[Read more]

@overcomer Oooh! Another YDubber! Greetings. 😉 Have you tried the Mentorship space on the community site? It is a new way to get an online mentor. Simply state what you write and what you are looking for in a mentor. If that is confusing feel free to PM me on the YWW-my name is Bethany Rose there too.
Hopefully the Lord will provide one for…[Read more]

Hey @overcomer I have a writing mentor I met through an online writing program. (The Young Writer’s Workshop by Brett Harris and Jaquelle Crowe) Since I’m editing my first novella, I ask her questions related to that. She has traditionally and self published. One thing that helped me is knowing a mentor doesn’t have to be super far ahead of you.…[Read more]

This sounds really cool! I use something similar to your chart for characterization-it’s actually an acting tool I used for an advanced acting class. I really shouldn’t sign up for another project just now, but please tag me when you are finished!!

*orders pizza*

@emily @dragon-Snapper @epicaddie2 I’m here. I’m going to beta-read. 😉

@winter-Rose I am! What are you working on?

@stewie-plotter @michael-Stanton The face of the girl robed in a galaxy lights up in a grin. Before she replies she inspects the bag carefully. “Aha! An unexpected reward! How nice.” She sets it aside, for there is the far more consequential task of Spreading at hand.

She lifts her voice and speaks into a vial she withdrew from a corner shelf.…[Read more]
