Joy replied to the topic I'm Writing Someone a Present… in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 9 months ago
Good question! Hmmm, lesseee….
How old is she?
I want to do something about saving Christmas, but that’s also cliche…
Maybe Bunny could look for a present that’s just right for her friend, and stick ballet or gymnastics or whatever in there… My brain is mush right now. Otherwise I could think of something better…
I know!…[Read more]

@Daeus sounds good to me. 😛 Honestly I haven’t studied it as much as I should have. But from what I know of Pinterest, that’s a very solid plan.

I have a girl that needs to be drawn.
Precium, or just Cium
four years old, chubby round face, bright smile with on dimple, gray eyes, wild wispy curly golden blonde hair that frames her face. a plain dress that reaches just below her knees and a woolen cloak that is about an inch longer with a hood usually off.
shy, but brave and kind. later…[Read more]

@lifeofkatie Okay, thanks. That helps. I think I’m going to give it a try. 😀
@introvert_girl That makes sense, though I think I’ll create all my own pins.

katie replied to the topic Cover Feedback in the forum Publishing & Platform 8 years, 9 months ago
@daeus – I personally like the cover the way it is, but that’s just because I like clean graphics 😀 if you do add anything though, I don’t think it needs too much, it looks great!

katie replied to the topic Pinterest in the forum Publishing & Platform 8 years, 9 months ago
@daeus – I have a friend who has a “board” called “storyboard: and then the name of her current book she’s writing” – She pins a lot of pictures (like of different scenes in her book, character portrayals, etc.)
I like your idea above about using boards for different characters and they all having the same link going back to your writing.…[Read more]

@sam-kowal Ahh okay, thanks a lot!

Sam Kowal replied to the topic What IS a Character Arc?? in the forum Plotting 8 years, 9 months ago
@dekreel It’s your character changing over the course of your story. It’s them learning things, deciding things, being shown things about the world and changing on a deep level because of those things.
Usually, a character arc tracks the curve of how a character becomes a better wiser person over the story, but downward characters arcs can also…[Read more]

@jane-maree @sam-kowal @princessfoo @daeus @seekjustice @jenwriter17 @aratrea
I have seen articles all over Kingdom Pen about how to improve character arcs, but I’m not totally sure what a character arc is! Can someone please explain it?
Thanks! 😉

Jane Maree replied to the topic How Do I Write a Sad Ending?! in the forum Plotting 8 years, 9 months ago
@jenwriter17 Sad endings are tricky to write, but also a ton of fun. Your character DOESN’T have to succeed in the story goal (if they do, there’s less sadness, in a way), but they SHOULD grow themeatically. If they fail in the goal, but grow and learn and have a great character arc, that will satisfy readers just as much.

Audrey Caylin replied to the topic How to Kill Off Without Killing in the forum Plotting 8 years, 9 months ago
You could have them vanish into a portal, and have the person who created the portal kindly tell the remaining characters that the other ones “are perfectly happy” (it’s pretty cliche, but could work 😉 )
You could just have a quick scene where the characters are leaving to fight for other noble causes.
You could have them…[Read more]
