Not-So-Secret Secret Assassin replied to the topic Writing the Climax in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years ago
Sorry, but I got nothing, to be honest I’m probably the type of person kingdom pen was created for.
The only reason I’m here is because @devastate-lasting tagged me, and I gotta stay on top of the whole ‘staying relevant’ thing y’know?
So yeah, I’m in the same boat as you. I shall watch the upcoming posts on this topic with…[Read more]

Alexa Autorski started the topic Writing the Climax in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years ago
Hallo, friends!
So… I’m a little stuck. On one of my novels, I’ve hit the climax, where all the suspense, tension, and mystery finally comes together and brings the whole novel to a close. It’s the huge, ah-ha moment for the characters, and the satisfying yet tense moment for the reader. But the thing is, how do you properly execute the c…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin
Ah yes. Character who have the same hair color as you. A topic, I fear, is frankly not discussed enough!
Although I have never been a blonde hair user as yourself, (I’m a brunette you see), I understand your struggle to relate to characters whose hair color doesn’t match yours.
Like when I read about a blonde…[Read more]

ella replied to the topic Writing a series where the books aren't technically related…? in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years ago
@devastate-lasting, @relia, @faith-q
That’s great advice, thanks y’all! <3 I was thinking that maybe what happens in Splendor (massive tsunamis that wipe out half of earth) leaves the characters in Solace living in a whole new economy/government system where people’s normal jobs are to scavenge things from underwater. And I love the idea of a…[Read more]

Hiya Keepers!!! I hope y’all are doing amazing!!! <333 Recently, I had the idea to combine my three favorite ideas and set them in the same world in different years in the future, simply because I couldn’t decide which one I wanted to work on because I love them all so much!! 😂
But I’d love to hear some feedback…Â Have any of y’all written a…[Read more]

Not-So-Secret Secret Assassin replied to the topic How to stay relevant on the Kingdom pen forum? in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years ago
that advice is preeetty epic, also don’t feel bad, I wasn’t feeling irrelevant. I actually think I’m the best person on the forum.After all, without me we wouldn’t have the best topic in the history of forums ‘Cheesy jokes writer edition’.The main reason why I started this topic was because I wanted a higher post count and I…[Read more]

Daisy Torres replied to the topic Anyone know anything about Kindle Villa? in the forum Publishing & Platform 5 years ago
@nanisnook Absolutely!!
@devastate-lasting Oh really? I didn’t know that.
Yeah that makes sense! I tried doing Wattpad a few years back, and I got fairly big, but I ended up closing my account because it ended up taking too much of my time and kind of stressing me out, but I’m hoping I’ll have better luck with scheduling my posts. Idk, we’ll see…[Read more]

Daisy Torres started the topic Anyone know anything about Kindle Villa? in the forum Publishing & Platform 5 years ago
Hey, guys!
I just found out Amazon Kindle is coming out with a reading program similar to Radish or Wattpad called “Kindle Villa”, where you can get paid for readers reading your novels.
That being said, does anyone have anything they’d like to share about it? (Questions are welcome too!)

@devastate-lasting Hey Lin! Just wanted to check in. I haven’t been active recently because I was on vacation in GA, but now I’m back home and getting back into my routine. 😂 What’s going on with you? What’s your WIP about?

@devastate-lasting Great job, Linyang!!!!!!! 😀
I’ve finished writing for the day. I did some research for my novel and wrote 183 words. My last line:
As far as I knew, she was never trained to be a spy, and, yet, she had the quality of one.
@devastate-lasting and @faith-q Thank you both so much for writing with me!!!!!! 😀 😀

Hi Ella! I hope you had fun on your vacation! Me, my school just ended, so I’m trying to find a routine with a couple of different WIPs and music. I maybe started another 10 stories since the last time you checked in, haha, but most are on hold now. I’ll give you two: one is a potential short story/novelette called “Ravens of the Valley” about a…[Read more]
the vacay was awesome! stayed up till midnight and went on a run in the morning, lol!! i totally get that–i started writing 7 different ideas and rn i’m working on a different one. 🙂 those ideas sound great!! 😃 the assassin (Selena) has super agility/reflexes (u know how dumb that sound when i say it out loud? 🤣) and she can pinpoint any…[Read more]
Oo, Selena sounds super cool! Who are the people trying to track her down? Or is she the main character?
I’m loving this month’s theme! No, I don’t have Disney+, but I have seen the trailer for it!
So, it’s kind of complicated. Selena’s father left mysteriously when she was 10, leaving a strange necklace and a letter in which he promised to return, then she was transferred to the foster system. When she was 14, she ran away from her foster parents and forged a life for herself (it’s a dystopian world that’s half underwater + urban…[Read more]
Oo, that sounds absolutely awesome! I’m also getting into dystopian lately, haha. Best of luck on your endeavors!
What stage are you with it now?
