@mineralizedwritings

Thanks for the input! I think I know what articles your talking about, and yeah, I loved how much detail the author put into writing them.

Also, yes! Movie focused articles are some of my favorite as well.

@godlyfantasy12

Haha, that’s fine.

And yes! It would be awesome if a writer who is or is close with someone who is autistic could publish an article on how to write an autistics characters accurately.

@godlyfantasy12

Cool, cool. Character development, plot, and outlining. Got it.

Are there any particular articles on character development and plot that you liked? I’m looking to identify if there are any common qualities between people’s favorite articles on KP.

@booksandbeakers

Traditional publishing. A traditional publisher won’t charge you anything, they’ll only take a cut of the profit when your book sells. Spending money on marketing would be the only expense.

Yes, I used KDP. I tried IngramSpark for my last book and gave up because it was such a pain and way more expensive, so I went back to KDP.…[Read more]

Traditional vs. Indie publishing

@booksandbeakers

M’kay, KP is liable to eat my post if I try to put links in it, so I’m going to lay everything out and then post individual links to each post I reference. I apologize in advance for how obnoxious that is, lol.

If you’d rather save money than time and you want a great-quality end result, traditional publishing is the way you…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76 Lol wait till you learn about Linear Algebra (though you probably won’t, that’s my cross to bear).

Aww, thank you for the prayers! Yeah, nah, my friends are like that to me as well, except even more harsh, though I know it’s cuz they care about me.

Yeah, can’t wait to talk to you more too!

@felicity That sounds really good! I’d love to try it someday!

@lewilliams Eyyyyyyy there’s that familiar platypus profile picture! Good to see you too! Life is. Kind of a roller-coaster, I have a really busy semester ahead of me and I’m not sure how I’m going to balance writing with it, but we’ll see. How are you?

@felicity I’m reindeer, and my name there is same as here.

@power Eyy love to see that you’re still here! One of the core tenets of the forum.

@booksandbeakers Oo that’d be exciting!

@folith-feolin Eyyy Lovecraft is definitely something else! He has beautiful prose!

@felicity Nice to meet you! What are some of the desserts you make?

@sarafini Yes! Stories definitely get easier the more you do. Hey, novelettes and novellas are impressive! I’ve done very few of those.

@loopylin Best of luck! If you’d be comfortable with sharing them someday tag me!

@keilah-h Nice! Do you know Vihart? She does a lot of great math videos.

@esther-c That’s about how much I usually manage too! Short stories are a lot easier, but I start a lot of them and never finish them, lol.

@loopylin I believe horror has supernatural elements whereas thriller is more of a crime thing, like the difference between a ghost and a killer. The premise of your story sounds a lot like Bendy and the Ink Machine, but I would totally read it!

Aye, I believe you can also finish a book one day!

@loopylin Hey there! Another Lin! Yeah, Alice in Wonderland is definitely on the surreal side and is One of The Books Of All Time. Oo, you do horror too? I have some half-written short stories that try to be a bit on the horror side, but I feel like a lot of mine edge on thriller instead.

I do have several finished books, but nothing published…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings Lol yeah it’s something similar to Alice in Wonderland or something like that, where nothing makes sense.

@esther-c Whoa, that’s really long! I really struggle with writing long works, lol. I always barely meet whatever word count I want them to be.

@esther-c I’m pretty sure it’s a word, lol. Yeah, the family drama was always really emotional for me.
