Hello, Bethany! Welcome to KP.
If I may ask, what is the significance of your username? @bethanysinkyroses

Elizabeth replied to the topic How much conflict is enough? in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 11 months ago
Well, I hesitate to give advice on anything of this sort–someone can always make it sound better–but here goes: Don’t make it easy.
Conflict is good. Conflict propels people forward, generates realistic reactions that create character and give insight into character personality.
Don’t make it easy. Life happens. People are rude. Well-meaning…[Read more] -

@BethanySinkyRoses Hey! Welcome here. 🙂 My oldest sister’s name is Elizabeth. 😀

Anne of Lothlorien replied to the topic How much conflict is enough? in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 11 months ago
@bethanysinkyroses I definitely think a story of that kind would interest people. There is a very well-known Christian book, Stepping Heavenward. I’ve never read it personally, but many people I know enjoyed it, and from my understanding, it is just the kind of book you are thinking about writing.
Conflict is hard. I have no sage advice, since I…[Read more]

@bethanysinkyroses Hello! I am Anne Greenleaf of Lothlorien, The Secret Lady of London. I believe Daeus welcomed you to the bestisest place on the planet already, so he won. I’ll beat him one of these days…
@graciegirl My middle name is Elizabeth too! With a ‘z’.

@bethanysinkyroses Ah, yes. That is what I was trying to get to.
All of this is perfectly doable, but you need to approach it from the right mindset.
What you need to understand is the difference between a wish and a goal. A goal is proactive. A wish is passive.
A wish is like this: “I really don’t want to talk to anyone on the phone.” *cries…[Read more]

@bethanysinkyroses Hi! So glad you could join our Kingdom! Jesus, forests, writing, family—looks like we have a lot in common. 🙂
What are some of your favorite books? (Note how merciful I am by not making you choose one. 😉 ) What genre do you primarily write in?

@bethanysinkyroses Welcome to the Kingdom!!! We’re happy to have you. 😀
That’s awesome that your piano has a name. But, my middle name is Elizabeth so perhaps I’m biased. XD
What sort of songs do you usually play? Have you ever heard/played any of David Nevue’s compositions before? (He’s my favorite piano artist, so that’s why I ask.) -
Daeus replied to the topic Greetings, fellow scribblers! in the forum Start HERE 8 years, 11 months ago
@bethanysinkyroses I agree. I tend to have to learn things myself before I get them. *sigh*
That’s a neat insight. I need to read 1 Peter again.

@bethanysinkyroses I’m a strong believer that a skilled writer can make almost anything exciting. You do need conflict to create an interesting story, but conflict doesn’t have to be what you might think it is. Conflict is not actually the same as people fighting (verbally or physically). I’ve encountered plenty of physical or other forms of…[Read more]

@bethanysinkyroses “Or you know, my dear,” Anne bows and grins, “I believe I could direct you if you close your eyes? The library way is slightly longer. Follow these instructions to the letter. Take two and a half small steps forward, spin around once, go down four steps… and here you are!”
Anne bows Bethany, her eyes twinkling. “It’s a bit…[Read more] -

After a rather unsuccessful serve, Faith looks over to @bethanysinkyroses, cringing at the sound of a window breaking. “Woops…” I hope they have insurance…
Waving her arms frantically, she calls over to Bethany. “Take a right, walk straight until you reach the big tree with the purple leaves, turn left, past the virtual ice cream stand, take…[Read more] -

@bethanysinkyroses, I would categorize that under “5 coins for sharing a new social media post (i.e. sharing the post within 2 weeks of it first being published)”. However, we might be able to let you do some additional posting/wooden coin collecting for getting us access to new collaborative boards. Creativity is encouraged when conquering the…[Read more]
