@rochellaine I’m on now…you still here?

Anyone else on? @seekjustice @alia @gracie-j @valtmy @issawriter17 @nova21 @fevastate-lasting @godlyfantasy12

@rochellaine I think I’ll be on in a little bit…

@jenwriter17 @alia @seekjustice @valtmy @gracie-j

Anyone around?  I’ll be here for a little bit, trying to figure out how writing works again. 😛

@millennium I used to outline my things, but for my current project I decided to try and pants the whole thing. I have the ending clear, as well as a few key scenes, but everything else will be left up to the spur of the moment.

I think for the middle parts I just usually feel my way along. You said that you have a clear start and an exciting…[Read more]

@gracie-j Your tips to @devastate-lasting about kiss scenes were super helpful! I meant to ask about a kiss scene I plan to rewrite because I was in a rush (aka NaNoWriMo) and it basically turned into a lot of YA fluff. I think I know how to approach it better now, thanks 🙂

@abigail-m Peter and the Starcatchers! It’s been forever since I read them, and I don’t remember which ones I read, but I remember liking them a lot!

You’re so welcome, Issabelle! 😀

For one thing, I always try to remember WHY I write and why I want to write a particular story. And when I sit down to write I always try to make sure I’m removing distractions and doing the best I can to help myself focus (like keeping my workspace clean, using the pomodoro technique, using music to get into the mood, remembering to take breaks,…[Read more]

@larchness Oscar Wilde has some really good stuff; I’ll never forget “The Happy Prince”. Harry Potter’s probably one of the only fantasy series I’ve actually enjoyed, I don’t like that much high fantasy. If you haven’t checked out Bryan Davis’s Dragons in Our Midst series I would totally recommend that! One of the few Christian fantasy books that…[Read more]

@larchness Ooh, brothers! I do love brother dynamics. And J.R.R. Tolkien is of course of the best.

What other fantasy books have you read?

@gracie-j Ah, thanks for your words! I appreciate you taking up the time to type up such a long post for me. Very good points, as well. (Not gonna lie though at this point most of the Webtoons I read are romance so maybe, just maybe, I’m opening up to the genre a bit more…)

Watching you and William converse is so….how do I put it. It’s like…[Read more]

I just want to throw this into the love square conversation… Conflict is great and all, and it drives stories, but stories where the dudes both love the girl enough to realize that the other is good for her (I mean… assuming they’re both actually decent guys, which is way more compelling imo than a love square in which one guy is clearly a…[Read more]

Hello there! I’m Chelsea R.H., or SeekJustice and its lovely to see you here! Who are some of your favourite authors and do you have any pets?

@abigail-m

Hey there! How are you doing? I’m Chelsea R.H. aka SeekJustice 😀 Congratulations on getting your first draft done and good luck with your second draft!

And now for my obligatory questions…are you more of a tea or a coffee person? Or neither? and do you have any pets?

@larchness

Hello there! I’m Chelsea R.H., otherwise known as SeekJustice!

I really enjoy history and would have loved the chance to study it (weirdly enough, I went the dog training/disbility care route). What are your favourite periods/things to study?

Ooh, I have so many fantasy recommendations! What are your preferences (subgenres, YA,…[Read more]

@gracie-j Well, well, well! You are exactly everything which I fear! *crawls away to hide in a corner*

Once upon a time, when I was a small child, and romantic interests were all the rage, I thought it would be great if I could create love interests for my main characters. Well, long story short, all those relationships ended up being the most…[Read more]

@larchness

Welcome to the forum! It’s so awesome to have you here on this fine morning in the Kingdom of Pen.

I’m so happy you like the articles! All of the authors are simply fans and volunteers of Kingdom Pen sharing their experience and lessons they’ve learned from writing. Which is I think why it feels so special.

Oooh, I love graphic…[Read more]

@larchness Hi Chloe! Welcome to the Kingdom! We’re so glad to have you here!

I’m really glad that you found the articles on this site useful; they really are great.

Ooh, a graphic novel! Do you mind sharing a little about your WIP? I’d love to hear more about it.

What are some other hobbies that you have? Any favorite books, authors, or movies?

@joy-caroline Nice! I have a sweet tooth, though I’m afraid I don’t have much tolerance for spicy things.

You are probably one of the only people I have ever met to like Hallmark movies. I’m glad that someone enjoys them.

Ooh, drawing! If I didn’t write so much I would probably take up drawing again.
