I use good ol’ google docs. Because of the simplicity and I can easily share docs with my siblings. But I’ve heard a lot of good things about Scrivener and been wanting to try it out for a while.

Hi! And welcome to the forum! Here’s a virtual hot chocolate to warm your hands.

Did you say drawing, linguistics, bookbinding, and music? Those are some of my favorite things too! Along with writing of course. What languages do you know/ are learning?

It’s great that you get to write with your friend. I love to write with a few…[Read more]

It’s really fun to see how each of us likes to describe our writing process. And although we each have our own unique spin on the three words, there’re also a lot of interesting similarities. As Gracie pointed out, we all tend to procrastinate, get distracted easily, be…[Read more]

@gracie-j

I find curse words, jarring, unnecessary, and just brings down the overall enjoyment of the book. Like @jenwriter17 mentioned, I totally don’t mind a book saying “he cursed” especially if that particular character is the kind of person to do so, but I instantly get put off if there’s actual curse words in it. I’m not sure why, but all I…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

I’ve been hearing so much about that series!

What about them inspired you? The characters, the world, the theme, etc. I love hearing peoples thoughts and feeling about books.

Do you like the originals or the re-writes better? I’ve been wanting to read them, but I’m not sure which version to start with.

@gracie-j

I’m in the middle many different WIP, so my brains telling me, “focus on finishing what you’ve started Kat” but then my heart is like, “Ey, it’s ’bout time we set off on the roaring seas! Join hands with  MGPN!”

Well, a Pirate novel may or may not have started simmering in the back. And you’re right it does look like jolly fun. XD Oh,…[Read more]

Thank you! It’s awesome to be here.

Some of my favorite authors include… hm… Shannon Messenger,Veronica Roth, Rick Riordan, Ridley Pearson, etc. My sister reads some of my writing, but what she does is she takes it and then rewrites the whole thing and passes it off as her own! 😅

No, I haven’t let her read my current novel.

@scoutfinch180

I always hear about people being inspired by C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, but rarely do I get to hear about books that have inspired them! I’m definitely going to have to check Phantastes out. I love books that execute symbolism well, and also the original books where the cliches of today came from.

@iluvhim18

Hello Hello! It’s awesome to have you on the forum. 😀

Wow. It’s really cool that you started writing at such a young age. I started around 6 or 7, but only in the past few years have been consistent.

Who are some of your favorite authors? And does your sister read any of your writing

Hey, Chelsea!

Oh, yes, I love Les Miserables. I actually haven’t seen it all the way through but we watched part of it in my English class one time and I fell in love with it.

Warrior Cats was my first obsession series, it was actually my first chapter book series. I started reading it when I was 7, and am still reading it to this day!

I l…[Read more]

@ScoutFinch180

I love Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory! I also like The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, Hamilton, and Phantom of the Opera.

Oh, well, uh, *glances at 20 page layout of my novel* I’d be lying if I said no! *laughs awkwardly*

@Linyang Zhang

I like a lot of movies, but musicals are my favorite. Although I’m watching the Divergent movies with my mom and we both enjoy them.

My WIP is a fantasy novel about a teenage princess who is recruited in the princess trials, a series of challenges in which princesses compete against one another. There’s going to be certain ties on religion. (Such as how she gains her strength from love for others and God.)

About my fave books… hm, do you have all day? I really The Clique,…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Although I’ve not written about pirates, they do sound like fun people to write about. Kinda makes me want to try writing a swashbuckling pirate novel with sea monsters. XD The genre is surprisingly underutilized I feel like in the book world. Unless I’m just in the wrong libraries.

@aj_serene

Hi! Awesome to have to on the forum! I too was a passive reader of Kingdom Pen for many years before deciding to join the forum this year.

Your taste in fiction sounds a lot like mine. The Hunger Games trilogy and the two Percy Jackson series are some of my favorite series, along with All the Wrong Questions series. I’m a little…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Get past the killing part? What kind of people do you like to hang out with?! XD 😉

Rina sounds like a really interesting character. What character is she in your story? Villain, MC, side character?

@devastate-lasting

Haha, yes my characters suffer from very similar dilemmas.  I love them all, and I’d try to befriend them but……[Read more]
