@dekreel That one’s cool 🙂 I like the way the colors are used.

@seekjustice I really like that Lord of the Rings cover., I don’t think I’d seen that one before. I’m definitely one for simplistic covers too 😀

@dekreel

Sure. Here you go:

Since this story is abandoned, I won’t need a very specific and detailed edit or review. Just some general comments to improve my writing is all I’m looking for. 🙂

@introvert_girl

Yeah, I was going for a quick pace and…[Read more]

@dekreel Ok, good night! And I will definitely tell them that. Heheh…

I finished one chapter! Hurrah! *throws confetti* I suppose I’ll sign off KP, too. *salutes and trips over a rock* ILIARAAAA ( @lady-iliara )

@dekreel That’s usually what he does. His timing is always perfect. You’ll see when you eventually play through the episodes of Aetherlight. 😉

Well, I always recommend *COUGH* my own *COUGH* role-play, the Arbitrary Antics of Ariella Newheart *COUGH COUGHHH* xD

I would also have to say that Ilayne and Scarlett’s role-play (it’s a crossover…[Read more]

@dekreel Yup, the Scarlet Man roams about Aethasia, helping to further the cause of the Resistance. He is always popping up or leaving at unexpected times. He also leaves scarlet nails everywhere to mark important things. 😉 Very mysterious. He also likes tea….

I hope you can join soon, too! ^-^

@dekreel It’s actually my AAA role-play. I’ve just gotten to a part where a search and rescue party is about to be launched, I just need to transition into that. What are you working on?

@dekreel We posted at pretty much the exact same time. xD RANDOM: I’m listening to the song Heart of Stone by Britt Nicole now while I write.

Hiya, @dekreel!

(I don’t come onto this topic much since my writing computer is in another room. I suppose I’ll work on my Aetherlight role-play right now, then. :P)

@dekreel If it’s the ship that travels around the world selling books, I have! It’s actually stopped in Taiwan and I’ve been aboard it.

Signing off now — class period is pretty short. I’ll find your reply about Logos Hope later, though. Good luck with the KPA!

@dekreel Cool! Hope you make progress 🙂

I’ve written haikus before, but I hate the syllable limit. My description likes to be free and flowy, and capturing the essence of something in that few words is tough for me.

Do you ever look back on forums as a sort of “research” for the KPA, or do you think you know the Kapeefers you’re writing about…[Read more]

@dekreel Hey there! I’m in class right now, writing haikus for my advanced writing class. They’re supposed to be about my school, so I’ll have to go for something friendship-wise. What are you writing?

To be totally honest, I almost started crying as I read through this thread. I’ve had a really tough weekend emotionally, doubting everything I’ve been working on with my writing + my future. My mom was talking to another parent about how I “know what I want to do” and up until this past Friday, I thought I did but I somehow ended up going on a…[Read more]

@dekreel

I’m so sorry that you have to go through this! it’s happened to me before, and it’s horrible. I have to say though, I tend to have the opposite problem…I compare everyone else’s writing/whatever it is to my own and I get really arrogant. So…we all have our flaws.

But seriously, God made you to love writing! he maybe didn’t make you…[Read more]

I’ve found it relieving that basically everyone who’s replied so far struggles with the same issues of comparison and self-doubt and writer’s block… and its tempting especially when I’ve encountered people on this forum who’ve finished books and write a good chunk of words everyday, while here I am struggling to find the motivation to finish a…[Read more]

@everyone “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” (1 Cor 10:13)
This verse came to mind as I was reading through everyone’s posts. I’m thankful @dekreel…[Read more]

@igridrd AAAAAAGH ITS PERFECT!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

@dekreel You can draw her too! I’d love to see what you think she looks like.

@Dekreel basically what has already been said. I struggle with this too. Especially recently. I found an author whose skill in my chosen genre is so crazily far beyond my own I don’t dare dream I’ll ever reach it.

And much as I hate to admit this, that thought drives me absolutely bonkers.

It’s not that I’m jealous of him, just that I loathe…[Read more]

@dekreel First of all *Bear hugs* -oh wait maybe I should have given you a wolf hug.. uh anyway

I just want to echo what everyone els  has said and tell you you aren’t alone.
Even before I joined kp I’ve compared myself (a lot) to people who I perceive  to be better then me. Writing is no exception. I compare myself to my older sister who is the [Read more]

@dekreel *kindly refrains from ‘petting’ you* God has given you the amazing talent of writing, and what you do with it is between you and Him. No one else. Someone else’s standard of getting published, writing the deepest and most profound character arc ever to grace paper, or writing 58,231.2 words in a day isn’t your problem. No one should look…[Read more]

@dekreel God’s writing a story right here, right now.

When I’ve doubted and struggled (which happens all the time), the only where I can turn is to my favorite (and, tbh, sometimes least favorite) author and say, “I trust you to write this story till its final, marvelous end.”

Now that I’ve done the popular thing and given the best advice I can…[Read more]
