@kate-flournoy I hate being in serious trouble.

@jenwriter17 I like #4 most for what sounds like an exciting read, but #5 actually fascinates me the most. It would depend on what your MC is like, but I think that could make an amazing book.

@jenwriter17

I love those ideas. All of them.

If you’re looking to pick one though…um… yikes. I was just trying to decide this for myself, actually.

And I’m horrible at making decisions on this stuff.

So throwing my vote, #2 and #3.

@bella-d We’ll ignore that I’m a little late to the party.

Welcome to Kingdom Pen! Ummm… question that no one has thought of yet.

Aha! Do you like mushrooms?

*stalks this topic*

@ethryndal  You know, seeing your post just made me realize that I don’t have to write like everyone else, that I can go with my own style and structure. I can’t believe I didn’t realize that until now. *bops forehead* So thank you for saving me!

I am just SO TIRED of over-planning! I just wanna WRITE!

I’ll see what I can do! *nervous…[Read more]

A lot of you have been asking how the KPA is going

Well…

So yeah, that’s how it’s going… *gloomy sigh*

Guys, I am SO sorry this is taking forever! I realized from seeing how other people have written Kapeefer literature that I have over-planned mine. Besides, I have a HUGE plot hole (STILL! grrrrr) So I’m going to set down my current…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  *scratches chin* *grimaces (these claws, ya know)*

Hmmm…

I like all of them… I’m sort of leaning on #2, the Christian contemporary. It sounds powerful. But I also really like #3 because it just fascinates me how Christianity spreads even in places like that. #4 would make a good short story 🙂

Yeah, #3 🙂

@bella-d  Oh, yeah, the rank under your name depends on how many times you’ve posted.

Once you have made…

• Your first post, you are a Bumbling Henchman
• 20 posts, you become a Charismatic Rebel
• 50 posts: Wise Jester
• 100 posts: Loyal Sidekick
• 300 posts: Knight in Shining Armor
• 1000 posts: Eccentric Mentor

@kate-flournoy Just tagging you because you’re normally into this. If you want to do it, I’ll get you your own doc.

@that_writer_girl_99 Research English longbowmen. They were the best of the best and traditional bowmanship was a bit different than today. Like English bowmen sometimes used 100lb draw bows, which just makes us all look like epic wimps basically.

@mnvalentine  You like Les Mis? AWESOME! I like it, too! Although I’m only halfway through the book so far. I’m really enjoying it 😉

@emma-flournoy, I found another Les Mis fan for you! ;-P

@itisastarrynight *looks in awe of raspberry sunshine*

@inklingforchrist Good question. I honestly don’t know. Every time I start a novel, it’s a big fear of mine that it’s not going to be very long at all. But even if your novels are short, it’s okay. My only suggestion for making books longer is adding in more conflict between characters and…[Read more]

@winter-rose Yep. I’m still lovin’ that GIF. XD

@ethryndal Perfect GIF. 😛  I’m surprised though, you didn’t use Galadriel. 😛 😉

@jenwriter17 The chair melting thing is basically what I do when I’m not happy with something. It’s my forum ‘signature’. 😉

@emma-flournoy Thankee.

@itisastarrynight For me, simple observing has been the best. I’ve actually been observing for a year and  half now. O.O Woah… that long, self? Weird.

@bella-d Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever even heard of her. What do you like about her?

@bella-d That’s so cool you write historical fiction. Some of us on here do, but the vast majority write fantasy. I write both, and other genres as well. Who’s your favorite historical character?

@rochellaine Yep, it’s called contemporary fiction.

@that_writer_girl_99 Okay. Well, there are a lot of swords, but this will cover all you need.

• One handed sword. The handle is only big enough for one hand. You’re probably going to use this in conjunction with a shield.
• One and a half handed sword. The handle is just the right size to fit two hands, but it can also be comfortably handled with…

@that_writer_girl_99 Okay. Well, if I just spewed out everything I could possibly tell you, we’d be here for quite some time. Could you narrow things down any? What do you need to decide on for your novel?

Also, if you haven’t yet, check out this article I wrote.

@that_writer_girl_99 I have fired compound, recurve, and longbows before, but I’m certainly not an expert on them. If you have any questions on handheld weapons though (especially swords), I’d be happy to help.
