@elfwing I mean, I used to read bad books too lol. And then I started writing, and I didn’t read anything but manga and classics, so when I finally went around to reading other stuff again, I was more like, “what is this thing I’m reading.” I guess writing has trained me to look for mistakes more, and also one of my sister’s hobbies is roasting…[Read more]

Daisy Torres replied to the topic Who has a published book out? in the forum Book Discussions 4 years, 6 months ago
@elfwing Hahaha XD I’m sure you will!! Just stick with it! I made the mistake of publishing too soon and not building up an awaiting audience first ::::)
I do! I published Era of Shadows on amazon a couple years ago. It’s a medieval Fantasy retelling of Alice in Wonderland, based on the Red Queen’s perspective.
Recently (July) I published The…[Read more]

@elfwing Nope… that’s never happened to me before! XD I have a tendency to slam down my book and yell at it whenever there are problems. XD

Lin replied to the topic Reading in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 6 months ago
@elfwing Oh, for me, I’m the opposite. Problems always stick out to me, but usually I stay quiet about them because I feel like they aren’t something that the writer can change easily (like style, the overall plot, etc.) If it’s typos I will though.

@elfwing i could definitely help with that! I love working with descriptions.

calidris replied to the topic Reading in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 6 months ago
@elfwing alright! I might be able to help with prose, but I’m not very good at plotting. I might be able to critique small sections at a time, and just give you general writing advice 🙂

calidris replied to the topic Reading in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 6 months ago
@elfwing ooh i see. I personally don’t have that problem, but there might be someone else who does 🙂
It’s only if you want to. I don’t want you to feel pressured or anything. It’s something that I’ve been considering recently, just for people in general. I have to warn you, though, I might not be able to dedicate a lot of time because of sc…[Read more]

@elfwing I don’t know if this is what you’re asking, but I would be up for being a beta reader if you need something critiqued, or just giving you advice 🙂

Ugh, the forum balrog ate my reply when I tried to edit it, so reposting.
I would like to pitch in with a few things here.
Do not let all of your characters meet each other in the same room. Only three out of more than twenty characters speak English, and like at least ten of them haven’t even SEEN the real world before. Thus, this will result…[Read more]

Hey guys! Wow, it’s been so long since I’ve been on here
because I haven’t written in forever and KP makes me guilty! This is kinda two questions in one topic, but the first one is more important haha.1. I’ve had a couple of pretty major ideas to add to my WIP (i.e., the main character’s dad died before the start of the book; a necklace t…[Read more]

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in reading the first chapter of The Inventor’s Daughter! This is my first time asking for a critique so it’s pretty exciting! Let me know and I can share it by email. I would like it to be read before Friday afternoon if not that’s ok!
God bless!

I loved where Analyce said, “why doesn’t he just kiss her already?” XD That was awesome and I was with her on that 100% XD And where Kaunon said, “oh no! Quite nice is it?” And for some reason, the part where Ayerna noticed he looked twenty instead of nearly seventeen. Okay, this is not very helpful, I know, I know. I just had to tell y…[Read more]

This made me laugh so hard XD THIS IS HILARIOUS!! I absolutely love it, (is this from personal experience? XD ). I’ll have to refer to this list if I ever bring characters from my fantasy stories, (I have a feeling number nine and five would be all too true with them *shudders*). Overall, this is genius! I love this humor and these k…[Read more]

Writing has been a passion of mine for a long time, but Kingdom Pen was really the place that encouraged me to get serious about it. About 4 years ago, I began reading the articles, stories, and poetry― as w…[Read more]
