ah looks like it ate my first reply lol
@emily_d What’s your novel about? Is it in the real world or fantasy or both? Are there cool creatures (hints at dragons and such creatures)?
Haha, my family puts everything on pizza. The usual pizza is cheese (several kinds), olives, pineapple, capers, anchovies, peppers, and some sort of meat with the…[Read more]

Elanor replied to the topic Scars, a poem in the forum Poetry 2 years, 7 months ago
😏 I suppose I could share a couple… I write about pretty much anything. I’ve written poems about the seasons, rain, time, some Bible passages, and many many others. I’ve actually published a couple here on KP. I also write in many different forms of verse, rhyme, etc. So I wouldn’t say I have a characteristic rhythm to write in. lol

Hello @emily_d ! Nice to greet you! *offers chocolate* What do you write? What’s your WIP about? Do anchovies belong on pizza?
My favorite things to do are reading, writing, listening to music, and exploring the great outdoors! I like to read most genres I’ve found as long as there’s an epic plot though historical fiction is my most frequented it…[Read more]

Elanor replied to the topic Do your characters tend to be more extraverted or introverted? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 7 months ago
@kathleenramm
Mine tend to be a pretty good mix of the two. But I love throwing the two into the same scene and the frustrations that can result from the clash.But also thinking more about it my protagonists are almost without fail an introvert…
But I also have some Introverts who are talkative. These characters talk to cover up how nervous a…[Read more]

Glad you like my story idea so much. Those are great thoughts too. I love hearing what everyone else thinks of as a good scene in a book generally.
Ahhh the snake with parylizing venom was killed protecting her. She has to jump blindly out a small gap that could barely be called a window used to vent the prison. In a beaten…[Read more]

Ive really enjoyed his Starlore series. Personally think it’s really good.
I’ve not read/listened to any of his books other than the kingdom, knights, and Starlore series.I know he has another series called “the Wars of the Realm” but my Dad said those ones are really weird that he took too much artistic license in describing angels…[Read more]

Those are all great ideas! I love hearing what everybody’s ideas are it gets my imagination really going.
Unfortunately with my medieval fantasy set book there’s no technology. But if I do write a book someday in the days of technology those ones will be helpful.

I’m glad you like the sound of my novel. I’ve actually started writing more of it in the last few weeks. I started a topic on the forum on “How to do a non-cliché escape scene” because I’m trying to figure one out. If you have any advice I’d be glad to have it on there too.
You like CHUCK BLACK! I grew up on those books! My absolute…[Read more]

Yes!! The bullets, arrows, and explosions all mysteriously missing the main character by a hair, leaving them unscathed after a very intense scene is so annoying. And then the times they do get injured and brush it off like, “I’m fine. I’m the main character. I’m invincible!”

Another great idea thanks. That’s one I hadn’t thought of.

Elanor replied to the topic How do I make a non-cliche escape scene? in the forum Plotting 3 years ago
Glad to have given you an idea.
I wasn’t sure if my idea of people communicating with animals is lame-sounding or not. It’s based on my imaginative world when I was little changed a bit but the world, peoples, cultures, and fantasy creatures still have their roots in that. When I was young I’d spend hours upon hours going on…[Read more]

haha, I’ve got that exact thing. Zyla is crying and Kedja does scream.
The only reason that Kedja can get Zyla to leave her is that they are using Zyla to try to get Kedja to work for them by torturing Zyla (yeah manipulative evil people). Kedja can’t bear it anymore and has to get Zyla free because she can’t bear that so…[Read more]

In my WIP I have a prison escape scene. Fact is, that is in almost every book or story out there there’s an escape of some sort. How do I make one that’s not clichéd?

Thanks so much for the tips everyone. They are all helpful. I just realized I forgot to mention anything about the prison or the escape. Might have been helpful…
So my two girl characters Kedja and Zyla are trying to escape a prison that they’ve been brought to to be trained to work for Okdor, my Villain. Kedja, through a very tragic back…[Read more] -
