@Daeus it looks pretty good! My only thing would be that in the sections that you have images (the ‘contents’ and ‘are you serious about your writing’ headers) it would look better if the images would automatically fit to the length of the screen. For example, I have quite a wide computer screen so there’s about an inch of a gap between the edges…[Read more]

@Catwing I 10000% second the suggestion to check out Katie Grace’s blog. She’s an epic person, and her posts are always amazing. <3 <3

I would suggest starting off with just one post a week. I usually do two, but it does take a lot of commitment to get out two posts every week. Start small and build up. 😛

@kate-flournoy

Possibly up your alley.

@joisebeth Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!

*hands you cloak and dagger* You are now an official KeePer.

I’ll be on for a bit, doing school and some writing. @dragon-snapper @catwing @winter-rose @skredder

Is binge-reading a thing like binge-watching?  Or did I just make that up?

Definitely a thing, @rochellaine.

@jess-penrose That works!

*shuffles in*

I’ve avoided commenting on any threads about blogging up until now, so you should feel honored, @catwing.

The reason being, I just started my blog, it looks like a four-year-old made it, and it has a grand total of three posts on it. That being said…it’s still mine, and I’m starting to love it, so, a few things.

First off, the…[Read more]

@devestate-lasting I didn’t realize INFJs had a corner… hm.

@joisebeth Hello there! Welcome to KP! Looks like I’m a little late to the party, but I’m glad you’ve gotten a warm welcome!

Oh my gosh XD I heard about this thread in the KP newsletter and had to check it out. I think I laughed as much as I did in the “How To Write The Worst Dystopian Novel Ever” video XD XD

@dragon-snapper “When theme is executed poorly…” That’s classic XD

Hey! @jenwriter17

First off, love your blurb. And the collage was really cool.

I’m working with a similar WIP, and although it’s a fantasy novel, not a dystopian sci-fi, there are still a lot of cliche-like elements, but here’s the thing: I’m in the rough draft stage right now, so I don’t care if there’s cliches or not. I don’t care at all.

The…[Read more]

Alright folks! ‘nother newsletter is done, and that means its time to submit your advice! If you can come with it, I want to hear it! Put it down below!

@Catwing Sorry for not being your friend… *apologetic glitter*

@Jenwriter17 as Princess said, some of the elements are fairly generic with the dystopian genre. Evil government and Outcasts are common features, BUT that doesn’t mean you can’t use it. I definitely say you can still do this well if you have your own aspect and take on the situation and use your own style to make the story unique and different.

@dragon-snapper That’s fine. 🙂

To clarify though, it doesn’t have to be an author you know. It could just be one you read.

Alright, KeePers, Josiah recommended I contact some published authors about this survey. I’m going to ask if they want to see the results when they come out and maybe if they want to share it with their audience too.

I’ve got a few authors in mind, but I don’t know a tone of authors. Any you can think of who might be interested in…[Read more]

@jess-penrose Yes–that looks great! Depending on the plot/genre of your story, it may be interesting to also have an answer that you can lose your right to freedom if it’s for the greater good of society. (I’m thinking of times of crisis where citizens or soldiers may be coerced to do things because otherwise the nation may be overrun.) That sort…[Read more]

@dekreel Henceforth, I shall have to be careful when I get on camera.

@rochellaine Truly impressive.
