@joy-caroline Murder someone.

Well, or badly injure someone. Is what I do. I’m assuming, however, that your story isn’t of the suitable genre. But yeah, what Jenna said. Keep writing by looking forward to whatever’s coming. Or maybe spice things up by doing something unexpected. Or develop who you thought was gonna be a minor character. Whatever…[Read more]

Sometimes this happens to me when I’m working on a more slow-paced story. But I try to remember that if the plot points are big changes for the protagonist and move the plot forward, then they’re important, even if they might not seem exciting. 🙂

@milena Hi there! Welcome to Kingdom Pen! I hope you have an awesome time here! I’m Linyang, one of the members here!

Ah, I used to write a ton of poetry! I’m looking forward to seeing whatever you share!

Short stories are fun! And I totally relate to finding inspiration everywhere. What are some of your favorite movies/books/songs?

I’m so glad you liked them, @nanisnook ! <3

@mkfairygirl You’re so welcome, Katherine! <3 Glad you like them!

@nanisnook Ah, sorry to hear you’re feeling like this! I guess here are my tips:

• Read terrible writing
• Daydream about your writing dreams
• Receive validation
• Start something new
• Take a break

Hope these help!

And Writing Has Been Romanticized

I’ve written a couple blog posts I think might encourage you 🙂

5 Thoughts Writers Need to Stop Thinking

@kathleenramm Mm, I’ve always loved dragons. But after much consideration I’ve realised that a dragon would burn my papers to a crisp. Which is why I’m going for an eastern dragon. They can’t breathe fire (most, at least), they’re super duper cool, they can fly and take me places, they can fly up to the celestial heavens and talk with the…[Read more]

Oh, I forgot to post yesterday. Well, since I can’t remember what I ended on, paper or PC, here’s one from my PC:

“As if people actually like him, man. His life probably sucks.”

@godlyfantasy12 This is a great idea! 😀 I absolutely love using worksheets for my creative process!

@joy-caroline

I can’t remember where I heard this, but this came to mind: “God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.” God gave you that story idea. He must want it t be told. By you. Just know that He wants to help you, strengthen you, support you. Yes, research is a must, but at some point you just have to let go, take a deep…[Read more]

@iluvhim18 Here it is…I put slashes in between the tags to avoid excess pinging people, so remove them when you do post it again.

“Alright, y’all, I’m not exactly sure how this will work but let’s go for it anyway! How many of you have seen (or joined/posted) on the I DARE YOU TO… topic? *pauses to watch hands shoot up* I thought so… Anyway, @…

@iluvhim18 Looks like the forum ate your topic…I still have what you wrote though, do you want me to copy/paste it over?

@iluvhim18 Awesome! Thanks Evelyn!

@iluvhim18 XD

Y’know, it would be fun if we had a topic to just post last lines from a writing day…

@elfwing Nice! I love the thought you’ve put into this!

@godlyfantasy12 You’re looking at a person who worldbuilds as she writes. On the other hand, for maps I usually just draw them by hand. So I’m afraid I can’t be of much help, ahhh….

@joy-caroline Mm….years ago, when I first started writing, I got a story idea. But it was on the deeper side, so I decided to let it sit and wait, and only just started writing it now. And I’m glad that I let it wait, even though I had really wanted to start it back then. So in the same way, I suggest you let this story idea sit and wait until…[Read more]
