Also, in Author you write a novel from the very beginning and they give feedback on each stage. So they go from concepts to synopsis, some other form of planning, to drafting the novel (I haven’t heard much about the editing phase, but I believe it’s there). SO this would be another reason they want you to write from scratch. They want to teach…[Read more]

I’m on The Young Writer’s Workshop and not the Author Conservatory. I’d like to do the Author Conservatory one day and I’m in a similar situation with a series I love. What I’ve heard (from YYW students and the Author Conservatory Instructors) is this: a lot of students join Author with a “heart project”. But they have to put…[Read more]

Hello! Whoops I didn’t mean to disappear for so long – I couldn’t find my password and life got hectic. But my password was saved on this device!! Horary!!

How is everyone??

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I’ll get back to your questions later, as I’m tired rn and just wanted to reappear aha. What forum questions or spaces/places should I…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Help that guy up? Uh-uh! No way on earth!

@avacoulter Whoa, that’s so COOL that you’re working on a dystopian trilogy!!!!!!!!! I’ve been pretty interested in the dystopian genre lately!!!! (Haha, yep, I totally know what you mean!😉) OooOooo, those are SUPER cool titles!!!!!!! Aaah, they make the series sound so intriguing!!!!! Aw, don’t be discouraged. I’m sure God will inspire you with…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Whoa, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 😀 It was enjoyable to read, and I LOVE the rhyme you had going on!!!!! FANTASTIC poem, girl!!!!!! 😀

My only suggestion is that it seemed like there needed to be a period between “dreams” and “Pitch” in this part –> “shattered dreams, Pitch black“.

1. Hmm. Not too many come to mind except for the very minor characters.

2. Torin, my antagonist, and totally #1. That guy…

3. The worst… is actually Torin, come to mention it. Ugh, I hate that man. The things he does to Cade are just… yeah. I could rant. But from a story other than my own, I’d say maybe the Thenardiers (or however you…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I’d have to say my Mom is the biggest influence on my writing. She’s a writer herself, and even just knowing that she was working on her story inspired me to do it.

I wrote a lot of early stories for my aunt, uncle, and two cousins; they are absolutely the most encouraging people you’ll ever meet (especially my aunt), and I wrote…[Read more]

Wow, all of us are really not helpful today 😛 I’m actually planning on joining Author in August (Lord willing), but this is something I’ve wondered… um, I have no idea? But I’m very interested to see the answers to this! Also, I’m on the Young Writer’s Workshop, so if you want, I can ask Brett Harris or somebody on there to see the answer to…[Read more]

@karissa-chmil

*waves excitedly* WELCOME TO KINGDOM PEN!!!!!!! *sends welcome goodie basket with chocolate, cookies, and books* SO awesome to see you here!! (Also, this has got to be one of the coolest and unique intro posts I’ve ever seen on KP, so you definitely deserve an award for that. ;P)

@e-k-seaver

Weeeeelllll… I don’t have a social media platform of any kind, let alone 300+ followers. But sheesh, that sounds interesting! Tag me when you release it!

I liked it. Picket was one of my favorites just because of his character arc, but they’re all good. Which was your favorite?

@e-k-seaver

OoOoOoOOo THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!! I am EXTREMELY stoked for the Reflections released. I just bought my copy of The House That Didn’t End (I know, I know… took me long enough, lol) a couple of weeks ago and CAN NOT wait to dive into it!!!!! I would sign up for an ARC copy but I sadly don’t meet the platform requirements of over 300…[Read more]

Also, if you just want to skip  to the second chapter to read what i wrote, you can. You don’t need to read the first chapter to understand the second chapter.

@r-m-archer

Thanks for helping me understand a bit better!

Also, sorry if I sounded a bit “un-gracious” there, but I guess what I meant wasn’t anything against the author, but the story. (I’m also a terrible writer, and it would indeed be bad news for me if the notion of improvement didn’t exist). So to rephrase: If the characters, world, an…[Read more]
