DelightInLife replied to the topic Inspiration for an Art-icle (pun intended) in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 2 months ago
Though I don’t enjoy or do drawing, I was wondering if you were interested in addressing (or have done) abstract art? The kind where it is more shapes instead of trying to be a specific thing?
Just curious. 😀

You know you are a writer when you have a very interesting search history. A few things I’ve looked up recently are:
Phases of the Moon
Asian Desserts
Flowers that Grow in Japan
How long can a fruit tree last in a drought
How long it takes for a Japanese plum tree to grow
How long can plants grow without water
How long does it take to feel the…[Read more] -

I really like Kate Flournoy’s idea of a sly sophisticated mouse causing mischief. Sounds like a unique idea! Have fun exploring & writing! 🙂

Hello Ryanna!
It’s great that you’ve planned out quite a bit of your story! Just a thought I have that I’ve seen mentioned on here, is to flip the cliche. Figure out what is expected to happen (in a certain situation, or in the plot in general) and then do the opposite.
Here is an article that Kingdom’s Pen wrote about ways to bend cliches…[Read more]

Thank you! We all are super excited to meet her! Ahh, sweet!
My favorite story I’ve ever written was an 80 page story (including the title, table of contents, and all that 😀 ) I wrote it 3 years ago when I was 12 and loved writing it! It’s called “Forgiveness’ Crown”. It’s about a young prince named Josiah who is sent by his father…[Read more]

Welcome to Kingdom’s Pen!
The Bronze Bow by Elizabeth George Speare is one of my top favorite books! Which book by her is your favorite?
I am also homeschooled, and the oldest of 5 kids, with a baby sister coming in November! (Then we’ll have 3 girls and 3 boys in our family!) And I want to have a large family myself someday!

Thank you for the suggestions, and for taking the time to listen!
Hmm, I actually would like the conflict to come more from the present as a spy in this specific kingdom.
Umm, the ENTP guy is my main character. 🙂 So he is pretty major. As for character arc…I think I have some ideas. I don’t usually plan anything before I…[Read more]

The last few questions on what the spy would do and how to bring conflict without betrayal or treachery are what I’m particularly stuck on right now. 😀
Thank you!

Thank you! That’s awesome! 😀 Great advice. “A spy doesn’t need a quiet personality. He just needs to trick everyone else into believing he is what he’s not.” I didn’t really think about that before, but it’s true. I guess I pictured spies more as having a quiet personality, blending in, more thoughtful, etc.
I’m excited to…[Read more]
