@cindygreen because she’s amazing enough to start something lovely like this and be friends with me even though I declared her “the worst” of my friends less than 30 seconds ago.
@BRANDON-MILLER for being an amazing staff writer who never fails to make the rest of us laugh. You’ve been the life of the writing team.

Anne of Lothlorien started the topic If You Know Anything About ASL in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 9 months ago
So, in my new book, Firefly Town, there is a younger teenager, Josh, who’s deaf. He communicates with ASL, American Sign Language. The second main character, Clay, is hearing, but learned ASL to talk with him. Felicity, the MC, when she comes into town, meets Josh. She knows a few signs, from a deaf girl at college, and learns some more.
I know a…[Read more]

Hey all!
It is my pleasure to introduce you all to the new Kingdom Pen site–now faster /and/ mobile-friendly. 😀
As you may notice, it looks quite different. And while I think I’ve caught all the bugs, there may still be some that have evaded my eagle-eye. So if you find something, drop us a note here or email us at kingdompenmag@gmail.com.…[Read more]

Ethryndal started the topic Taking Breaks from Unfinished Books in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 1 month ago
Heeey… I need advice…
I’ve been considering putting my current book on hold temporarily/possibly forever and writing something different, the reason behind this being that I’ve just hit several plot holes and character issues that will require an excessive amount of brain power to overcome. This has been a troubled book, as I’ve had to…[Read more]

Thank you all so much!! This is a huge help.
To answer all your sorta-questions collectively, the post is probably more along the lines of a philosophical/personal experience/just for laughs post. If that makes sense. 😛 It is divided into…[Read more]

Gracie started the topic Blog Post Word Count in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 2 months ago
Hey, guys!
I just have a quick question for all the bloggers out there: How long do your blog posts usually run word count-wise?
See, I’ve been doing a test run of my blog on a private scale to see if I can keep the schedule before I release it into the wider world of the internet. I just finished my first post today only to find it’s just over…[Read more]

Daeus started the topic My Time Travel Book in the forum Novel Critique Requests 7 years, 3 months ago
Greetings KeePers,
For those of you who don’t know, I’ve been working on a time-travel novel over the past few months. I wrote it, edited it, got some feedback, and then edited it again.
So this baby’s out of his diapers and ready to walk around. What I’d appreciate is some helping hands to mature this story into something great (aka beat…[Read more]

Hope Ann started the topic Why does everyone keep stealing my names??? in the forum 7 years, 3 months ago
Ever come up with a cool name, then discover it’s already a title? Or a game. Or a game level. Or someone else has already used it for a popular character. *scowls* I swear there are time travelers stealing ideas about five minutes into the future and bringing them to the past so we can’t use them. Anyhow… Yes. Names.
See, I’m getting a…[Read more]

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I am feeling alot better about it now. And I will definitely try most, if not all of your suggestions. Thank you so much!
@bethanysinkyroses *commiserates with you* Yeah. It’s tough. 😀 We got this, though! -
Kate Flournoy replied to the topic The Thread Where I Complain in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 4 months ago
@Dragon-Snapper what they all said.
I will just add that it’s definitely not an uncommon problem to have. There were times in the past two years as I waded through two drafts of my WIP that I just felt like going and drowning any capability of conscious thought in a deluge of mindless articles— anything to save myself from having to open my…[Read more]

Hey KeePers!
You should have gotten an email about this last night, but I just wanted to make sure everyone was aware of our fourth panel discussion that’s happening this upcoming Monday on self-publishing and writing.

Aaand now that that’s over . . .
For the last week of the month of June, I’ll be posting random tips that might actually be useful (unlike my deconstruction of sub-genres) :). I’ll tag random people so they can follow this thread throughout the last week of Sci-Fi Month and (hopefully) read the sub-genre deconstructions that I posted earlier.…[Read more]
