@rochellaine  *reappears* X’D  Don’t worry — it wasn’t you, it was school. B-p I’m overriding the effect right now. *strains a little* X) But thanks anyway for believing in me! 😀

Do they now? *raises an eyebrow* Hmmmmph… Well I don’t think it looks like a wolf’s tail. They don’t get that long. It looks more like a cat’s tail

Sorry, as l…[Read more]

@destiny  I’m guessing you’re looking for fantasy-ish names, but here’s what I came up with…

1. Phoenix, Maddox, Zander

2. Kace, Deacon, Roland

3. Raven, Alessia, Marina

Hopefully these help!

@ariella-newheart oh I know! it’s so hard to part with characters! I’m glad those articles helped. 🙂

@rochellaine @waterlily hi, could you guys help me brainstorm last names for a few? At first I was going to set my book in Japan, so I was using Japanese first and last names (but now it’s set in the USA). I think I wanna keep some of the first names, but I think I want to change the last. I’d like to come up with last names that have the same…[Read more]

@rochellaine  *shill voice* I AM NOT! Look at this tail! Does it look like a wolf’s tail to you?!

*whimpers* Don’t… make me… disappear…

@seekjustice @dekreel @dragon-snapper @sam-kowal @warrenluther04 @mariposa @Jane-maree

@dekreel Go for the blog idea, but promise me you’ll still post advice here? *grins* Thanks for sharing! Feel free to tag any others that you think would have good advice to share.

@aedesia  WELCOME, my dear cousin, to the bestest place in Cyberspace!! *scratches walls in ecstacy* 😀

@rochellaine  Technically that’s what she doing: introducing herself. Just in the wrong……. Yeah *sheepish grin*

@that_writer_girl_99  Ooh, boy. Let’s try this…

Here is a little tactic for writing a compelling, and non-cliche fantasy story: Diversify your world. By all means include dragons, elves, knights, old parchments and/or a mentor or two — because those are AWESOME. But imagine how much more awesome your world would be if you added a unique…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart you’ve got some good advice from the other kapeefers.:)

personally, I think 30 characters might be a lot for a reader to keep straight in their mind, even if it is a series and stretched out over multiple books. maybe see if any characters could be combined.

on K. M. Weiland’s website, she has a couple posts about this.…[Read more]

@christianna-hellwig  Greetings, and welcome to the bestistest place on the internet! (Or as I like to call it: The bestest place in Cyberspace) 😀

Ooh, music! I really want to learn violin. I can play cajon pretty well, and I can play “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” and “The Imperial March” on the piano X)

I’m glad you have decided to join us!…[Read more]

Well hello there! It’s nice to meet you @christianna-hellwig

Admittedly, I haven’t much advice to give, because I haven’t “done much”, as you put it in your post. I’m eighteen, but I’m still learning how to do things like finish a draft, create characters, create (and write) a solid theme. I like learning. Makes places like KP all the more…[Read more]

But if you just want to write for fun, you can basically do whatever you want :). And whether you intend to build an audience or not, the best tone to use is yours. Don’t try to be anyone else, like DG said.

I can’t even begin to tell you how important this is @catwing! Don’t forget it. 😉

I can’t stop thinking about this book I read a few weeks ago.

<i>Scythe, </i>by Neal Shusterman. I’m not gonna give any spoilers plot-wise, but suffice it to say that this book has amazing worldbuilding, the character development is really well done, and the overall concept of the book isn’t at all what I expected it to be–it’s better.

This…[Read more]

Yep, Slytherin and proud. 😉

Okay, so it sounds like you’ve got all your plot events in order, but what I haven’t heard you mention are the characters. What motivates the characters to go through with this? What are they trying to learn? Have you thought about that at all?
