@writerlexi1216 Yes, I wish I could live there too! *cries* It’s probably my favorite fictional world! Have you read Prince Caspian?

Nice! I got the name from a friend at school. I wasn’t very creative with names XD The Lily the hamster was truly an epic sidekick. She even had a cape!

Ooh, a story about peacocks sounds very fun XD

@nova21 Yep!! Tag me when you post your first chapter and I’ll read it and give you feedback if you want. 🙂

@devastate-lasting Yes!! I’ve never read it without crying. It’s such a beautiful story 😭

@gracie-j I love every single time period you just mentioned XD I’ve been super interested in pirates lately, but more towards the beginning of the 1800s. I’ve yet to write a pirate book yet, though. Soon hopefully! I’ve tried writing a story set in the Wild West but I never finished it.

You should definitely read The Miraculous Journey of…[Read more]

@nova21 Okay, so I’m actually working on rewriting my beginning right now as well XD It’s really hard so I understand your problem! Last week I watched a webinar with Nadine Brandes and Sara Ella about writing your first chapter and it was FANTASTIC so I’ll share some of my notes with you!

The Young Writers Workshop has helped me A TON in my writing. It’s kind of expensive (same price as hope*writers, I believe) but it was totally worth it in my opinion. K. M. Weiland’s blog is also really helpful. 🙂

@golden-knight Welcome to the wonderful Kingdom Pen! Do you have a favorite genre to read? Who is one of your favorite authors?

@larchness This is a good question! Personally, I feel like trying to fit your story into a specific subgenre could be really difficult and limiting. My novel is historical fantasy — kinda. It breaks some of those “rules” because it actually takes place in a different world, but it’s based on America in the Victorian era. I didn’t necessarily…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Likewise! Lately though it’s been my laptop that’s the biggest distraction. Which is a problem because my novel is on my laptop. *facepalm* Before, I could just turn my phone off and write on my laptop for hours but now I get so distracted. :/ I’m trying to work on that though.

@abigail-m Wow, that’s actually super cool! It’s awesome that you were able to find the perfect location. I’ve always been kind of interested in the cultures of people in really cold places like Norway and Russia. I’m not sure why XD Someday I’d like to write a story in that setting!

@gracie-j Hi! Ooh, you write HF too? What’s your favorite time…[Read more]

@issawriter7 Ooh, nice! I’ve heard they’re really good from like… everyone XD I’ll definitely let you know how I like them!

@kathleenramm Hello!

Ooh, I have yet to read Mere Christianity. I can’t wait for that one. My favorite of his books thus far (besides Narnia of course) is probably The Great Divorce. I also really enjoyed Surprised By…[Read more]

@issawriter7 You definitely need to read it if you liked Fawkes! Have you read her series? I’ve yet to read it but I really really REALLY want to XD As soon as I have any enough money I’m going to buy the series. 🙂

@writerlexi1216 Pleasure to meet you! I do indeed like coffee. *accepts mug gladly* I don’t drink too much coffee so it’s always a…[Read more]

@abigail-m Thank you!

Thanks! XD I’m glad my terrible summary didn’t leave you super confused lol. I love all kinds of stories too XD What are some of your favorite genres?

@issawriter7 Hi!! I agree, Fawkes is SOOO GOOD. Have you read any other books by Nadine Brandes? I read Romanov somewhat recently and it was really good too!

@devastate-lasting Thanks! XD

Oooh, that sounds super interesting!

@devastate-lasting Hey! I assume we’ve met before if we joined around the same time XD I’m not the best at remembering people lol.

Ooh certainly! Prepare yourself for a terrible explanation. My novel follows the story of a girl, Jamie, who lives in a different world that’s very similar to the Victorian era. She lives on the streets because she…[Read more]

As soon as I saw this thread I thought “Oh, definitely the Maze Runner series” and so I’m very happy that several of you have mentioned it on here XD I actually really enjoyed the first book, but within the first few chapters of the second book, I was very very disappointed. I felt like the series took such a dramatic change and books two and t…[Read more]

For me, it’s probably a lack of inspiration or… Youtube. XD When I don’t feel like writing I tend to get distracted very easily. My sleep schedule can be an issue too because I write best when it’s late, but I value sleep a lot so I often have to choose between writing and getting enough sleep.
