Hi @joy!

I’ll answer your questions just like Snapper did.

1. Choosing a theme can be tricky. During the early chapters of my current WIP, I had one theme, but it’s different now that I’ve gotten further into the story. That being said, I think it comes down to a couple different things.

–the message you want to share in your story.

@that_writer_girl_99 I’m out now. I wrote 320 something words. Thanks and good luck!

@Daughteroftheking Hi!
I love your profile picture! Tigers are my favorite animal.

@that_writer_Girl_99 Welcome!
@emily Yay! OUTLINING! (I don’t like outlining, but indeed, it is helpful)

@joy These are great questions!
1. You should definitely pick your theme first. If there’s anything I’ve learned from KP’s Theme Mastery, is that your story should basically revolve around theme.
2. I had this problem too. I picked out my favorite ideas of my idea notebook and tried to make a quick overview of each. I went through the process of…[Read more]

@catwing @josiahdeboer @daeus @ethryndal @daughteroftheking @emily @shannon I’m here and writing. Not sure for how long, but regardless of anything, I will write!

@that_writer_girl_99 Excellent. 🙂
My favorite hobby besides writing is probably guitar, which leads on to my fun fact.
I can play some drums on my guitar while strumming at the same time.

How does it end? @emily

HA! *grins*

I despise outlining. Writing to me is about freedom, and outlining…well, outlining and I just don’t get along. But I’ve come to terms with that and it’s okay.

Here’s what I’d do. Take out a piece of notebook paper. Grab a pen. And write the story down. All of it, every detail. Even if you know for a fact that a detail is minute…[Read more]

Haha, I’ve done this before. Sometimes all you need is a goal. What’s your story trying to say? What message are you trying to get across to your readers? Writing with those questions in mind can add a lot of depth to your story.

Yeah. I don’t have anywhere to put it outside of KP, so it would stay within this realm. @dragon-Snapper

Well, what extent would I be mentioned in the story? If your posting goes beyond Kingdom Pen, then I must keep to myself, but if you’re just doing Kingdom Pen, then I will offer my services… Does that make sense?
@that_writer_girl_99

@leumeister I completely and entirely agree. Sci-fi is awesome.

Hi @majerot !
Welcome to Kingdom Pen!
I’ll give you my regular warning: watch out for dragons. 😛

@leumeister I will do that–he should not look like James. XD

Welcome @majerot KP is great and I’m sure you’re gonna love it here. 😉

Have you ever tried writing stories?

@leumeister NOOOO!!!! *sobs* Why Technology, why?
I guess you and I are the sci-fi people now, aren’t we? 😛

A few thoughts: Editing is a natural part of writing. It’s necessary. Sometimes it’s annoying, and sometimes it’s hard, but it’s a necessary part of our craft. Fear not. It will be better in the end.

On remembering details: Write it down. All of it. Write it down, even if you know it’ll change later. Write it down in order to…[Read more]
