Oooh, yes. Characters and subplots. Those can so quickly get out of hand. XD It’s cool that your planning on rewriting one of your first novels! What’s the premise?

@scoutfinch180

Haha. I’m pretty sure that I too have some very cringey dialogue haunting my laptop as well. Dialogue is still something today that I struggle with…[Read more]

Hi! And welcome to the KP forum! I’m Kathleen and about a year younger than you and am a part of the KP team.

Congrats on making it to the final stretch of your novel! So many of my WIPs die out before they ever get close to the climax. Your premise is really interesting and definitely a book I’d want to read. Sci-fi has always…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Man, I could use some of your confidence. XD I usually have the opposite problem. I sometimes get so down about my writing abilities that it discourages me from writing.

@gracie-j

Well, out of all the mistakes to make, jumping into to writing super early isn’t a bad one to do! At least starting before ready is better than not…[Read more]

@lewilliams

Although I only play video games once maybe twice a week I fully agree that they can be really great at sparking creativity. I was actually thinking of writing a story based on one of my favorite video games. The great thing about video game stories is that they’re usually never fully fleshed out or explored so there is a lot of…[Read more]

I think I’m going to switch it up and answer these questions from my villain’s perspective. Bwaahahah! This’ll be fun.

@devastate-lasting

Would your character rather be tickled or chased?

Kai would rather be chased. It’s part of his daily routine already.

Would your character rather eat really spicy things or really bitter things?

He seems…[Read more]

@alia

Coming from someone who has read quite a few “over the top” beginnings to novels, this is great!

If you’re worried that it’s too over-dramatic, just make sure what happens next fully follows through with the drama you’re alluding to.

@gracie-j

Yes, not only do I get to sometimes dream about my stories when I think about them as I fall asleep, but I also fall asleep faster too. Thinking about real life can often keep me up at night. XD

Yeah, niether of my parents are readers as well. In fact, they don’t even care much for movies either. (Like, how?), They probably watch like…[Read more]

I’m a bit late to the party, but I’ve just gotta say that this is a great idea @gracie-j ! Bravo to your amazing ideas.

I will definetly be checking out and reviewing as many of these works as I can.

Unfortunetly dispite finishing a few books, they have yet to be published, so yeah, nothing much to promote for me. XD Though that may not be the…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Haha, I never imagined someone could get story ideas from memes. XD

Oooh, why didn’t I think of dreams? While falling asleep is one of my favorite times to create or play out story ideas. Have you ever gotten a story idea from an actual dream?

@gracie-j

Yes! Lengthy story discussions! I’ve spent hundreds of hours with my…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Yep, that’s a premise! And woah, seven books? That’s quite the daunting quest you’re on! What made you decide to write seven books for the series?

Lemony Snicket is one of my favorite authors as well! What’s is your favorite books of his? Although I love the Series of Unfortunate Events, my favorite book of his is the last book…[Read more]

@princessmk

A very warm welcome to the KP forum! It’s fantastic to have you!

(If your in the mood, I have some warm pre-holiday hot chocolate if you want any.)

Poetry has been something I’ve wanted to learn more about and experiment with, but I’ve been a little caught up with the many stories I’m writing. XD

How long have you been writing? And…[Read more]

@gh24682468999

No, but sorta yes? Since I’ve never done NaNoWriMo before, I decided that this year I’d do a Half-NaNoWriMo, (sorta like a half marathon), and write 25k in November. And next year I’ll aim to write 50k for NaNoWriMo.

At the moment, I’m not a super fast writer, so I don’t think I can commit the amount of time necessary to write 50k…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Hi! I’m Kathleen and it’s awesome to have you in the Kingdom of Pen!

I can totally relate. The first novel was definitely the hardest. But once I finally finished it, writing became so much easier. (There’s something about the first novel that is particularly difficult).

If you don’t mind answering, what’s the premise of your…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Porcupines for Barrett. He’d rather be in pain than be around something smelly.

Also, he’d rather edit my books. He likes to make things better than they were.

@gracie-j

He’d take all the revenge. And then some.

@e-k-seaver

Barrett would much rather be killed by his worst enemy. He would never hurt his best friend.…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Rom-coms aren’t usually my taste, but Lady Samantha sounds really interesting. Her dressing up as a maid to spy sounds totally up my alley. XD

Yeah, your probably right. I’ve read like, umm… ZERO romances, so no wonder they seem hard to write.

Woah. The Daughters of the Seven Seas series sounds like a really fun, interesting, but…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

No, haven’t. But if does secret identities well, I may have to…

@devastate-lasting

Barrett would like to sit on ceilings, so he can sneak around in places.

@jenwriter17

And he would like to live in the hottest place in the world because he could sell more ice-cream.

And here’s is my question for your characters: Would your character rather know the truth and know the horrifying reality that he/she is a…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Yes. You heard that right. A mule Stampede. Still to this day, I can’t help but crack up every time I read it. XD

We wrote that novel when my brothers were 10, and 13. So errrr…. yeah. We did finish the chase scene, and we finished the novel, but we never edited it so… the mule stampede still exists hiding somewhere in a google…[Read more]
