Hi, @radically-surrendered 😀

What’s it like in Mexico? I think you’re our first ISTJ ever.

I’m studying, but I’ll be on soon to…worldbuild, outline, character build…all the stuff that sets up a new story. @dragon-snapper

@salome01w4g The Force Awakens is galaxies better. (Pun intended.) You have to see it.

*Does say something else*

Hi 🙂

@xonos-darkgrate I totally love that guy. Rogue One wasn’t my favorite movie, but the villain wins big awesomeness points imo.

Okay! I think I’ve got it now. I still want to come up with a dramatic tagline, but the rest of it’s done. What do you think?

Trevor is in a mess. After traveling back in time, he and his sister get trapped in medieval England where a mad scientist rules the country with technology and terror. As war brews, Trevor gets the chance to prove his…[Read more]

@raevynstar I wrestled through the same question when writing my second book. I think the key is to not make Fiona completely unlikeable. Give her some likeable traits and give the reader some hints that she’s eventually going to change. If you can also give her sympathetic motivations for her unsympathetic actions and show us what sort of things…[Read more]

@xonos-darkgrate Google it. Almost all word softwares have a word count feature.

@raevynstar Confidence is key. A good spoiled brat sees the world in black and white. Their confidence in themselves is unflinching and they don’t consider other ways of looking at things. Such firmness inspires respect, even in fools.

Don’t know if that fits your character, but it’s one thing that works really well.

I’m just gonna…let everyone else talk. My brain is fried…

@jess-penrose We call them both.

@josiahdeboer You don’t need to have read the book. Just tell me your gut feelings. Most people, after all, do read a synopsis before they read the book.

@everybody Thanks for the feedback! I suppose I’ll tweak some of the wording then get back to you.

@dragon-snapper Both, of course. 🙂

@xonos-darkgrate There are some plot twists, yes, but the story doesn’t stand on its unusual premise. It stands much more on its psychological depth. And, certainly! Go ahead and reword it.

@raevynstar Hello there! Glad you found us! If you have any questions about KP, the forums, or whatever, feel free to ask anyone!

Hello everyone! I’m taking a midterm for my hardest class tomorrow afternoon and I’m really, really nervous. I’ve been studying for a while now but I’m still terrified I won’t pass…can y’all pray for me? @shannon @dragon-snapper @winter-rose @daeus @kate-flournoy

@the-real-kapeefer Actually, according to your profile picture you don’t even /have/ arms, so no, you don’t have any 2nd Amendment rights here.

@raevynstar Welcome to the site! Glad you found us. 🙂 What’s the premise of your current work-in-progress?

@xonos-darkgrate I’m sure it would. It would be cool to give a bad guy a subplot too.

@xonos-darkgrate By sub-plots, I basically mean adding in side characters with their own intertwining stories. I also mean how the main events John Huss experiences affect the many different areas of his life. For instance, you could build a subplot around a book he is writing, or a friendship he has with a small child, or a theological dilemma…[Read more]

@xonos-darkgrate That sounds like a great idea. You might want to read the book Trial And Triumph. It’s a novel about John Huss, and I really liked it. I would also highly recommend you read Rora. It’s a real-life story of a Waldensian resistance fighter with added details to bring it to life. It might give you some ideas, especially on how to…[Read more]
