Oof, it’s taken me forever to reply to all you guys, but here I am!

@trahia-the-minstrel

Woah, that’s like a consistent book week right? As a notoriously slow reader, I am in awe.

I’m going to have to check out Mark of the Lion Series by Francine Rivers then! I usually don’t read romance because I find them a bit dull and predictable, but from…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Ah, the Ninjago line was a joke, haha.

The Fangs in Wingfeather Saga reminded me of the snake creatures in Ninjago, so I thought I’d make a little joke about it.

But yeah, sometimes jokes get misinterpreted when it’s in writing like this, haha.

@avacoulter

Cool cool. It’s rare to find friends that you hang out with in both online and offline.

Newt and Minho are also my favorite characters from the Maze Runner Series! However that’s just from me watching the movies, I’m not sure if my answer would change if I read the books.

I highly recommend reading The Hunger Games especially if you…[Read more]

@autumn-rebecca
Hi! Welcome to KP! It’s lovely to have you!

Firstly I must ask you, do you have any favorite books or authors? Also, what got you into writing?

It’s awful that you are unable to access a library. Are you unable to access libraries because they are not in your area or is there some other reason? It must make it hard to ever read…[Read more]

@avacoulter

Oh, yes! I do know Joelle! Was she the one who told you about KP or was it the other way around? I highly recommend writing a story with her. Writing stories with someone is a very unique experience, and the stories often are twice as good as they would have been if you were writing by yourself as you can fill in for each other’s…[Read more]

@avacoulter

Ah, that’s really cute!

It’s really cool how your friend inspired you to start writing seriously, do they write as well? If so have you ever thought of writing a story together?

I started writing around seven or eight. Two of my older siblings wrote (and still write), which inspired me a lot. Plus, after multiple failed attempts at…[Read more]

@power

Hhhmmm… Good question. I think my writing excels most when I’m working with my 3 siblings.

It kinda goes like someone has a spark of an idea, someone adds fuel to it, and then another waves the flame into a blaze.

Well, on good days that is. Most of the time we get side tracked and end up having an hour long conversation about how…[Read more]

@avacoulter

I’m about the same as you when it comes to Tolkien’s discography. Read the Hobbit, and the Silmarillion is on my to-read list. My brother highly recommends it, and I probably will soon once I actually read it, haha.

Thanks for the recs! I’ll definitely check them out.

How old were you when you started writing and what made you begin?

@avacoulter

Hi! Awesome to have you here!

I’m also a big LotR fan, have you read any of Tolkien’s other books like the Silmarillion or the Hobbit?

Do you have any favorite poems or poets? I’ve recently been getting into poetry and kinda don’t know where to start when it comes to finding good poetry.

It’s great to meet your acquaintance! Catch…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Ah, yeah. I think we’ve all have written stories all too similar to the traits you described.

Out of all the things lacking in House of Mages, what area do you think you’ve improved the most in writing since then?

@anatra23
Haha, that’s hilarious. It kinda reminds me of the first story I wrote which was literally just the story of…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

I’m a tad bit late to the party, but um… here I am.

I tried reading The Wingfeather Saga a few months ago because I thought the cover was pretty epic and a lot of people on the forum liked it, but ummm…

I couldn’t finish it. And for pretty much all the reasons you listed in your essay. I can see why people…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

House of Mages actually sounds pretty cool. What was wrong with that made you not go through with publication?

@devastate-lasting

Woah, that’s a cool idea. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of an idea like that. It sounds like a tricky story to write, but you should totally try going back to that story when you have the…[Read more]

@daisy-torres

Hmmm… maybe I’ll go back to Beatrice and her cow one day. Because yeah, now looking at it there’s a lot of cool ways I could direct the story.

lol. Nothing like a movie or book coming out with a premise oddly similar to the one you are working on to crush your motivation, haha. That’s happened to me at least once before, but I…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Phil is great. My favorite character would probably Rei, but Norman is just a thread behind. I really like both smart and complex characters who are a lot more than what they appear. I kinda expected Rei in the beginning to be the typical emo kid with black hair and Norman to be the typical smart kid who never breaks the rules.…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Oh wow. Thirteen Ways to Infinity sounds crazy in the best way possible. What is the premise?
