…wow.

There’s a lot here, so I’ll analyze it a bit later (when I have time), but thank you so much for this, Daeus! I’ll get back to you soon, and once I plan out the story (and where exactly the gospel elements fall in it) a bit more, I’d love to get your take on different parts and pieces of it, if that’s okay?

Thanks again. @daeus

@filewriterbase13x I think it would be cool if you could fit my turtles in somehow.

@Celticcailin heyy so yes I do songwriting and composition and play half a dozen musical instruments and study musical theory. If you want me to check out lyrics and/or melody or whatever, feel free to add me to the email. 😉 I’d have to look over the song before I could give you much useful feedback though.…[Read more]

I use K.M.Wieland’s outlining system for outlining my novel. I only do basic outlines of chapters when I come to them. I also keep a long bullet list of random ideas for my story and many of these ideas end up getting woven into the plot.

I love outlining (or, at least I love how it works for me) and I don’t think I know anybody who has tried outlining and been disappointed by it. I also know a couple people who have tried outlining and been happy they did.

At the same time, I don’t recommend outlining everything. Your story needs room to evolve. If you outline too deeply, you’ll…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 I use a character questionnaire sheet I made up that used to be on KP and is currently on the Story Embers site. For me, a lot of a character has to do with asking enough questions about them to boil them down to three central qualities about who they are as a person. Once I have a set core for the character, it’s easier for me to…[Read more]

Hey there! I’m a little late to the party…sorry about that!

I’ll be everyone has already asked you the cool questions, too…ugh.

Well, here’s one–d’you play any instruments?

hey there! Glad you could join us.

Most people ’round here think of nice, book related questions to ask, but here’s a few generic ones…

Favorite color?

Left-handed or right-handed?

Do you play an instrument?

Welcome to KP!

@Dekreel woohooo I love it! *tosses confetti* xP

@SeekJustice @Sam-kowal I’ve actually already got a cabin (plus several other offers, haha) so I’m all good, thanks though! Have fun with the Kapeefer cabin!

It is, definitely. You’ll get it right, though, I know it. 😉

*sighs*

I hate to say it, but I think your friend was right.

It’s not a bad thing, necessarily. The chapter introduced the family dynamic, and introduces a few things that will (obviously) come into play later in the story, but it doesn’t have a whole lot of oomph–by which I mean, something that draws the reader into the story. There’s…[Read more]

Hi! I popped in and read this too, just ’cause I was curious. Hope that’s okay.

Overall, it’s really good so far! I’m just a bit confused as to whose POV you’re using to tell the story? At times, it seems as if it’s being narrated by someone altogether different from the characters in the scene, which is kind of disorienting.

Other than that,…[Read more]

Hey @valtmy, I’d also like to point out that google docs does have a feature you can set the doc to that allows you to pick and choose who has access to your doc based on their email, so if you wanted to do it that way, you could.

@valtmy You can public message a few people and then share the doc directly with them.

@dekreel Well, not as good as Cry The Beloved Country or Dreamlander, but, you know, pretty good. Lots of happiness vibes.

@dekreel As a connoisseur of endings, I have to say you did a great job. Now I love Kingdom Pen even more. 🙂

@dekreel No, you wouldn’t have to read anything of mine, but it would be best if you did. I’m going to message you with the details.
