What on earth has it done to my comment?

@Emily, well, I think @Salome01w4g has already shared my advice. I actually think the story sounds pretty neat, but I have a bias towards any story that has a lighthouse in it (I LOVE lighthouses). When deciding if I want to finish a story Im struggling with I ask myself if I feel the message Im trying to get across is important to me, and whether…[Read more]

@leumeister Hi! You’ve read Jenny L. Cote’s books!? Me too!
Ted Dekker has a fantasy/sci-fi series that is an allegory. ‘Circle’ and ‘Lost books’
@daughteroftheking Your cat is a tribble?! *pulls gadget from behind back like in Odd Squad* Here we go. It’s a teleportanater. It will teleport them safely to the nearest Romulan ship or an empty planet.

Oops @daughteroftheking @josiahdeboer I’ve been offline for quite a while. Sorry…

I can tell you, even though we’ve never met and we don’t really talk much on KP, that I understand where you’re coming from with this last question. And before we get into the mushy-gushy stuff, here’s a couple of hard questions/statements.

–writing is not for the faint of heart.

It’s hard. It puts you in uncomfortable places. It tears you to…[Read more]

Hi @joy!

I’ll answer your questions just like Snapper did.

1. Choosing a theme can be tricky. During the early chapters of my current WIP, I had one theme, but it’s different now that I’ve gotten further into the story. That being said, I think it comes down to a couple different things.

–the message you want to share in your story.
Do…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99 I’m out now. I wrote 320 something words. Thanks and good luck!

@Daughteroftheking Hi!
I love your profile picture! Tigers are my favorite animal.

@that_writer_Girl_99 Welcome!
@emily Yay! OUTLINING! (I don’t like outlining, but indeed, it is helpful)

@joy These are great questions!
1. You should definitely pick your theme first. If there’s anything I’ve learned from KP’s Theme Mastery, is that your story should basically revolve around theme.
2. I had this problem too. I picked out my favorite ideas of my idea notebook and tried to make a quick overview of each. I went through the process of…[Read more]

@catwing @josiahdeboer @daeus @ethryndal @daughteroftheking @emily @shannon I’m here and writing. Not sure for how long, but regardless of anything, I will write!

@that_writer_girl_99 Excellent. 🙂
My favorite hobby besides writing is probably guitar, which leads on to my fun fact.
I can play some drums on my guitar while strumming at the same time.

How does it end? @emily

HA! *grins*

I despise outlining. Writing to me is about freedom, and outlining…well, outlining and I just don’t get along. But I’ve come to terms with that and it’s okay.

Here’s what I’d do. Take out a piece of notebook paper. Grab a pen. And write the story down. All of it, every detail. Even if you know for a fact that a detail is minute…[Read more]

Haha, I’ve done this before. Sometimes all you need is a goal. What’s your story trying to say? What message are you trying to get across to your readers? Writing with those questions in mind can add a lot of depth to your story.

Yeah. I don’t have anywhere to put it outside of KP, so it would stay within this realm. @dragon-Snapper

Well, what extent would I be mentioned in the story? If your posting goes beyond Kingdom Pen, then I must keep to myself, but if you’re just doing Kingdom Pen, then I will offer my services… Does that make sense?
