Character likability runs along a few different lines, and three of them are:
Proactivity
and
Likability in the story
and
Disability

If a character’s proactive, and strives to accomplish his or her’s goals, they’re going to be mor elikable. If other characters in the story like them (which it sounds like might be part of your…[Read more]

@catwing Hmm. I could say a ton about this.

Like everyone else has said, yes, MKs are not all the same, stereotypes of either really good kids, or teens who don’t want to be there.

They can be just as normal as regular kids.

One thing I do notice, is that in general, it can be pretty hard to fit in. Living and knowing another culture very well,…[Read more]

@that_writer_Girl_99 @winter-rose @catwing @skredder @dekreel @jane-maree Anyone on?

@rochellaine, yeah, it still didnt work. I am mentally screaming right now. but I have to do some school so I’ll have to write it again later

@catwing, so, I wrote a very long answer, only to have it disappear and KP log me out. I don’t have time to rewrite it right now, but I will try to get it to you.

@rochellaine, I agree with both of your posts

@mnvalentine Distinctive artwork, that stands out and also connects with the story. always seems to make a great cover to me. Covers that sort of seem generic and rely on a lot of explosions/shiny lines to get your attention don’t seem memorable, for example:

The cover is cool, but not memorable. (An awesome book,…[Read more]

Okay. @winter-rose Finished my experiment thing, and now I’m on to my article thing, probably.

@winter-rose I’m here! I’m working on a characterization experiment for my MC and I’ll be working on an article rough draft later.

@Dragon-snapper I’ve recently started up a facebook page too, and I’m just learning the ropes. I normally share all my blog posts on there, and some updates on my WIPs (though I should do that more). I’m thinking of doing a ‘Saturday Snippets’ sort of thing where I share a piece of writing every Saturday, etc.

Other than that, I also second…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper First of all, nice example. 🙂

I don’t think that it’s too dismal by itself. Even a lot of that can be good. It creates tension, you know.

It just takes a little bit of hope to keep the reader on the right track. Simple things too. Depression works because it pretends to be immense. Little, pleasurable, “childish” (quote on…[Read more]

Agreed. How would that work, though? @jenwriter17

@winter-rose Thanks! 😀

@julia-r Thank you, dear! And no, they’re much better than you’d expect.

@jenwriter17 Yes!! I want a KP Day!

@ingridrd Right back atcha, dear. 😉

@daeus XD Yeah, I guess it was kind of sudden. Haha! Yeah, Danielle the Dragon isn’t exactly working, is it?
*looks at you skeptically*
*waits five minutes*
Hmm, I guess I won’t burn you in a ball of flame…
*melts chair instead*
Exactly! Da is a great way to start off a name. 😛

I wonder… do you think @the-real-kapeefer will let me win…[Read more]

@catwing Thanks for tagging me! I’m also an MK 🙂

@rochellaine covered a lot of my pet peeves. I personally have struggled a *lot* with being thrown into a whole new culture, and that was manifested by bitterness at God and parents. Even after I repented of that, it’s still something I struggle with, even two years later.

Two stereotypes that I…[Read more]

I’ll be droppin out in just a second. @winter-rose

@dragon-snapper yay! I like it 😀

I guess one other way to get more “likes” on your page is to invite people to “like” it. That’s what I did when I first launched my author page. Beyond that…I’m still pretty clueless on FB 😛
