I have been fighting valiantly to finish my Latin translation and have prevailed!  Now I am writing…care to join me?

You know you’re a writer when you are playing out a scene in your mind and start mumbling your characters’ conversation in the shower.

😉

@pickupyourpenandwrite Just a note of encouragement. Rewriting/doing major revisions may be a tough process, but it will teach you A TON and leave you feeling a much more confident writer afterward.

@daughteroftheking  That’s awesome!

@catwing Sweet! I like taking over kingdoms! That is…I mean to say…um… What do I mean to say? XD

Awesome job on Part Four! Actually, awesome job on the whole story so far! 😀

Oops, looks like last time I posted, I was logged in as my little sister, who does happen to be quite handy with computers and such. 😛 Anyway, here we go: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OKBGO8SRoMDNrtyJC-8U2-XteHiy4aXa/view?usp=sharing Thanks for the help everyone! I allowed editing… just curious, will the edits show up in  a different color…[Read more]

Okay, so I have decided on a name.  *drumroll*

Devin!

I thought about what you said, Hannah, so I just changed the spelling slightly to avoid any pronunciation errors.  Thank you all for your input!

@dragon-snapper  Ohhh, very nice indeedly.

You know you’re a writer when you haven’t written in your novel for a few days, and your walking around the house, saying, “Boy, I miss ___”

Then you stop…and say, “Oh wait, he doesn’t exist.”

Okay, here is a google drive link. Hopefully this works better lol btw, we are in the process of changing the title, so any ideas on that would be helpful as well…https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/my-drive

Okay, I’ll try Google doc. thanks a lot!! 😀

@gracie-girl can tell you a lot about J/P. It’s really cool stuff.

@ingridrd Devan sounds perfect for this character. Only the spelling makes me think a little of the word “divan.” Which is totally beside the point and I’m probably the only one who thinks that way, but I thought I’d let you know anyway.

Quick question: Do you hear “Devan” pronounced the same way as “Devin”? Or do you pronounce the “a”? I think…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when your family asks you why you’re making faces at your computer, and you have to explain that you’re testing body language.

You know you’re a writer when you’re at a funeral, and while you’re waiting in line to speak to the family, you make use of your time by trying to observe how people respond to grief. (Wow, that…[Read more]

@naomijackson I don’t think it’s best to just insert chapter breaks wherever there is a cliffhanger. You want chapters to be fairly similar in length with just a handfull of short and long ones thrown in there. I believe writing chapter breaks in the first draft helps me craft nice chapter breaks and more cliffhangers because I’m planning for the…[Read more]

@mariposa Oohhh… I wish to read this novel.

Here’s one I just made for a character in the third book of my trilogy. He’s eight.

@GracieGirl Coolness.

YES I love Mere Christianity. *flails* I’m glad you’re reading it. Have you read The Screwtape Letters too?
I’m reading a true WWII rescue account called The Forgotten 500 right now. It’s pretty cool. In the fiction realm, one of the things I’ve read recently which I liked quite a bit was the Mysterious Benedict Society…[Read more]

@Aviantrail Welcome to KP! That’s cool you’re Captain America. He’s an ISFJ too. 😉 And also, *whispers* you definitely should read more of the Scarlet Pimpernel books.

@Kaya-Young Welcome to KP, and I adore your signature. ‘I adore spontaneity, providing it is carefully planned.’  Perfect.
