@daeus XD Yeah, I guess it was kind of sudden. Haha! Yeah, Danielle the Dragon isn’t exactly working, is it?
*looks at you skeptically*
*waits five minutes*
Hmm, I guess I won’t burn you in a ball of flame…
*melts chair instead*
Exactly! Da is a great way to start off a name. 😛I wonder… do you think @the-real-kapeefer will let me win…[Read more]

Catwing started the topic One of my MCs is a MK in the forum Characters 6 years, 9 months ago
Okay.
So, one of my characters, Vanessa, in my current work Firebird is a missionary kid/teen.
And I thought I heard that some of you are missionary kids(or you can tag them and answer these anyway)? Do you have any advice? Things I should avoid that annoy you when you read books with MKs? Other stuff? Books I should maybe read for research?

@kate-flournoy Haha, I know, feels like it went by really fast, huh? Seriously, though–your help over the past year has meant a lot. *all the hugs*
@daeus Goodness, I really didn’t intend on being that philosophical, but…yeah. That pretty much sums up how I’m feeling right now.
@aratrea I know…crazy. It’s been quite a ride.

@daeus I’m still grinning at your reaction. XD

@daeus 😛 Yeah, that’s my real name. 😀 Danielle. (Goodness, it’s weird to write that on here after a year and half of deliberately not.) SURPRISE! 😀
I’m assuming you’re surprised? 😛

Oookay, that’s a lot to catch up on. XD
@introvert_girl Right. The emotions in my character should be strengthening them… I’ll try to keep that in mind…
@ethryndal This is for the third book in the trilogy, so I can understand why you’re not seeing it. I think one of the problems might be that I’m focusing too much on characters and not…[Read more]

I was really going to try and wait another month before posting this, because that’s when my actual KP-versary is, but my internship ends next week and I’m kinda (really) sad about it, so I could use some love.
Anyway. March 26th, 2017–almost a year ago–I was sitting on the couch, doing schoolwork, when my mom told me about some ad she’d fo…[Read more]

Grace H. started the topic Free verse Poem Advice/Critique in the forum Poetry 6 years, 9 months ago
Hey everyone,
I wrote a poem today for my writing class, and its free verse, but sort of structured. Here are the first two stanzas:
What can ever substitute
for shushed hysterics in the wee hours of the morning
those conspiratorial smiles across the hallway
and those times when nothing need be said — the silence
only broken by taps and…[Read more]

The Gif Hiders
Part Two: The Bird and her Cake
The Kingdom of Pen did grow weirder and weirder for Jenna, but only gradually. After a few days, ever since she had come, she had met some centaurs, a mermaid, another dragon, a tiger, and even a droid. But the weirdness didn’t exactly just rocket into the air until about three weeks after she had f…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper, uuuuuummmmmmmm.
yeah.
I’m not going to be much help with this, cause I do the same thing.
One of the things I’ve found helpful is, like @daeus said, insert hope. Your characters should be driven by their goals.
Unless your MC is like mine, who is just plain hurting and miserable, and kind of takes it out on everyone else.…[Read more]

Snapper started the topic Just a Bit… Dismal in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 9 months ago
Alrighty, guys…
I could use some help on this front. I’ve learned pretty well over the past few months how to show and not tell, but I actually am using that too much.
Don’t get me wrong. Always show over tell, but my problem is that I’m focusing way too much on the emotion. And Ike… Zelaya, they’ve all gone dismal.
How do I refocus my…[Read more]

Joy started the topic My *gag* Children's Books in the forum Novel Critique Requests 6 years, 9 months ago
Greetings, Kapeefers!
So when I was thirteen, I spontaneously decided that I was going to write a children’s book series. I started writing several of them before I found myself buried in writer’s block, so I walked away from them.
Lately I have been considering coming back to them. So today I read Mariposa’s article on Pixar and children’s…[Read more]

@daeus I’m listening to The Way of Kings right now, I’m on chapter 19. The Way of Kings, in my opinion, doesn’t make as much sense as Mistborn. I think I just like Elend and Vin’s (and Kelsier): characters more over Kaladin and Shallan, though. *trying desperately not to add four paragraphs about Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive* Anywa…[Read more]
