@larchness This is a good question! Personally, I feel like trying to fit your story into a specific subgenre could be really difficult and limiting. My novel is historical fantasy — kinda. It breaks some of those “rules” because it actually takes place in a different world, but it’s based on America in the Victorian era. I didn’t necessarily…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Likewise! Lately though it’s been my laptop that’s the biggest distraction. Which is a problem because my novel is on my laptop. *facepalm* Before, I could just turn my phone off and write on my laptop for hours but now I get so distracted. :/ I’m trying to work on that though.

@abigail-m Wow, that’s actually super cool! It’s awesome that you were able to find the perfect location. I’ve always been kind of interested in the cultures of people in really cold places like Norway and Russia. I’m not sure why XD Someday I’d like to write a story in that setting!

@gracie-j Hi! Ooh, you write HF too? What’s your favorite time…[Read more]

@issawriter7 Ooh, nice! I’ve heard they’re really good from like… everyone XD I’ll definitely let you know how I like them!

@kathleenramm Hello!

Ooh, I have yet to read Mere Christianity. I can’t wait for that one. My favorite of his books thus far (besides Narnia of course) is probably The Great Divorce. I also really enjoyed Surprised By…[Read more]

@nova21 Aw, do you really think so? Haha, I wish I was going into film sometimes. But right now I’m on the path of “Most probably not.”

@imwritehere1920 My favorite part of Fahrenheit 451 was probably when Beatty was lecturing Montag. I do love villain speeches.

As for the inspiration behind my WIP, it’d probably be one of my other short stories and Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight. I came up with it in a week when I was really stressed.

@issawriter7 You definitely need to read it if you liked Fawkes! Have you read her series? I’ve yet to read it but I really really REALLY want to XD As soon as I have any enough money I’m going to buy the series. 🙂

@writerlexi1216 Pleasure to meet you! I do indeed like coffee. *accepts mug gladly* I don’t drink too much coffee so it’s always a…[Read more]

@issawriter7 All right, I guess I will! After all, I’ve got nothing to lose but everything to gain.

@abigail-m Thank you!

Thanks! XD I’m glad my terrible summary didn’t leave you super confused lol. I love all kinds of stories too XD What are some of your favorite genres?

@issawriter7 Hi!! I agree, Fawkes is SOOO GOOD. Have you read any other books by Nadine Brandes? I read Romanov somewhat recently and it was really good too!

@devastate-lasting Thanks! XD

Oooh, that sounds super interesting!

@epicaddie2Aw, that sounds great!

I’m working on several WIPs right now, actually! One of which is a novella about a detective trying to find a criminal that his dad put behind bars years ago, and a former mob boss trying to start his life over.

@r-m-archer @godlyfantasy12 Ah thanks for your advice! Do you guys know of any good magazines that would be good to submit to?

@godlyfantasy12 Yay! I have not written anything today!

I’m just thinking about submitting a short story to a magazine…dunno if I should though….

@devastate-lasting Hey! I assume we’ve met before if we joined around the same time XD I’m not the best at remembering people lol.

Ooh certainly! Prepare yourself for a terrible explanation. My novel follows the story of a girl, Jamie, who lives in a different world that’s very similar to the Victorian era. She lives on the streets because she…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 Hi again Addie! If we have met before…probably. I also joined KP around that time.

Can you tell me a bit about your WIP?

As soon as I saw this thread I thought “Oh, definitely the Maze Runner series” and so I’m very happy that several of you have mentioned it on here XD I actually really enjoyed the first book, but within the first few chapters of the second book, I was very very disappointed. I felt like the series took such a dramatic change and books two and t…[Read more]

For me, it’s probably a lack of inspiration or… Youtube. XD When I don’t feel like writing I tend to get distracted very easily. My sleep schedule can be an issue too because I write best when it’s late, but I value sleep a lot so I often have to choose between writing and getting enough sleep.
