I’m happy saying that I live in Australia, rural NSW because there is a lot of rural NSW so the chances of anyone tracking me down is quite slim.

Oh my word. XD True though. No one is going to scour all of rural NSW for you. XP

@Jenwriter17 Pen names are tricky…I personally gave up thinking of one and just went with my first na…[Read more]

@Jenwriter17 I basically second everything that Audrey said.

Getting people to read and know you and your blog is simply  a three step matter. (‘simply’ but not ‘simple’ XD)

1) Spend time on other blogs with similar content and styles to yours. Comment regularly, maybe guest post, just be present in the blogger community so that people know y…[Read more]

@Jenwriter17 As someone who writes and reads dystopian quite frequently, I think the main biggest cliche is “MC is a teen who leads a rebellion against the evil government and wins”

As Josiah said, I 10000% recommend reading into some of the good-ol’ dystopian novels like Fahrenheit 451 and the others he mentioned. Along with other more recent…[Read more]

@Daughteroftheking oh my wooooord yes. XD I was giggling through that entire section.

@Clairec If only….Unfortunately I was very private about my Prince-Seeking so I was hiding out in the back paddock when I did it. XD

@jenwriter17 acutally…neither Audrey nor Caylin is part of my real name *hides* I did that because my real first name AND middle name are always misspelled and mispronounced. So my mom and I came up with something totally different, thus Audrey Caylin. (Though I definitely feel I look like an Audrey and my mom did almost name me “Carly,” thus…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I haven’t really read modern dystopia, but I do get the impression that it has lost something it used to have. Namely, all the early dystopias were prophesies. The authors looked at the culture around them and, knowing what they did of mankind, civilization, and technology, they constructed a model of the future that they thought was…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Ha. I actually have a KP Cinema video about cliches in dystopian novels coming out sometime this month. xD So a lot of my “advice” would be in there. I wouldn’t say oppressive governments are cliched because they’re required for that genre, but I would recommend studying classic dystopias like Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451, Brave New…[Read more]

First, congrats on being almost ready to publish! That’s awesome 😀

I’ve had a blog for a little over a year now. What was surprising was how difficult it was to actually get people to read and comment on my blog. I had to go around and comment on other peoples’ posts and leave a link to mine. I learned that you have to foster…[Read more]

A heartless queen of hearts. Haha!

*stalks this topic*

@clairec That is disturbingly fascinating. I don’t know why Gollum would want to eat those things raw…. *shudders*

*cough* *whispers* Our only wish, to catch a fish, so good to eeeeeaaaat….

@gabbyj Lawson is nineteen or so.

@ingridrd Awwwww, I love it! Thank you!

Oh, I haven’t seen Hamilton either. I just…obsess over the soundtrack. Les Mis is a cool musical. I’ve really only seen the movie once, and it made me cry so much that I vowed never to watch it again.

Hello all! I’m just gonna put a list of my characters down below, and y’all can draw whichever one you want. Or none of them. Guess that’s fine too.

Evyn~ the princess of my little kingdom. She’s probably seventeen or so, but she looks a bit younger. Roundish face, light brown hair, and hazel eyes. She’s got a tiny scar above her mouth, kinda…[Read more]

Hello there! @pickupyourpenandwrite Your name reminds me of a song from the musical Hamilton…have you ever heard of it?

Welcome to KP! I hope you enjoy your time here!
