@perfectfifths  Glad I could help 😉 XD

@jane-maree XD So am I. There’s some cool things later on that help to lessen the pain of it, too

@inkling-for-christ Um…

Maybe there’s an inspector or someone who discovers the MC’s “problems” and takes him away to a special school for nonconformists. Then he could meet other people like him, or maybe he meets an engineer-in-training who has a wild imagination (which made him also a nonconformist.) He could teach the engineer how to drea…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer AND a fangirl/fanboy when you include names, cameos and/or easter eggs in your stories of things you love

*blinks away heart eyes….*

@atisastarrynight I personally love flashbacks, and I think they can be great if done well. I’m thinking of a certain person who is really good at doing this, but isn’t on KP, unfortunately. 🙁

But yes, have something trigger a memory. Keep it short. You definitely don’t have to info dump. Just let your character remember something, but not all…[Read more]

@waterlily Oh wow. This sounds so awesome. I would totally read this.

@waterlily 😀 Yeah. That sounds like a pretty neat idea.

The seawyrms sound quite interesting, too. The crests confused me at first, but I realized you could do something like having a way in the story to manipulate pigments in their scales and cause certain colors to bleed through, and to make the crest, the colors are manipulated in a certain…[Read more]

@sleepwalkingmk oh HEY ADORA!!! So cool to see you here! And you’re an MK? Somehow I totally missed that before. XD

@itisastarrynight that sounds way too awesome! I love that idea!

Ohh @itisastarrynight you cannot imagine how helpful this is for me. It’s like the biggest AHA moment ever. Okay. Thank you, thank you, a million times over. Everyone’s advice is finally making sense. That MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. Seriously. You’re totally awesome now. 😉 (not that you weren’t before, but I just got a taste of that awesomeness for the…[Read more]

@sage-g  Since SeekJustice commented, I might as well comment, too:

Your sister is AMAZING! WOW! If I ever get around to those illogical children’s books that I started when I was thirteen, I am SO asking her to illustrate them!

@daughteroftheking  @ingridrd  I love those names!!!!!

@rochellaine  *talking to self* She likes Adric…. SHE LIKES ADRIC!!!!!!!!! Sorry, Adric is a Dr Who character’s name, and you know how we Whovians are……..

@rochellaine  Great idea!!!  I have a few…

Girls: Lenna, Mern, Andraya

Boys: Den, Boren, Remiro (rem-EAR-oh)

Kinda weird, but…*shrugs*.

@skredder  *starts chanting* Write it, write it, write it, write it…!  This has the makings of a brilliant story.  🙂

@radically-surrendered my friend gave me permission. So here’s a few pictures. XD

…….That was weird……..

TAKE TWO! *claps clapperboard*

Thanks @rochellaine!  I might actually use some of those for my novella! (assuming I ever get back to it……)

Anyway, can I drop in some names, too?

Girls (I got these from a book, mostly)

• Airow
• Aine
• Altair
• Ashe
• Vekka
• Cleo
• Dae
• Dove
• Elke
• Fae
• Faune
• Ginger

@aratrea  Yep, @rochellaine is right! Outside of the topic, before Rochellaine posted, it SAID I posted recently, but my post is gone!

Spam?! Hmmm, that makes sense, actually. It’s happened about three times, and all of those times, I remember that the posts were pretty long. This one was long, too.

If it helps, here is another place where it…[Read more]

@aella Sounds like my fourteen year old brother. XD Yeah, just try to make it sound as logical and straightforward as possible.

I asked my brother for advice, and he said that what he found logical and made sense was the story-structure database on KM Weiland’s website. Because it probably uses books/movies that he is already familiar with. And…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 I am getting into writing short stories right now, so I want to see what advice everyone else gives you. 🙂

Yeah, I would advise not really making the world super developed, and with lots of back story and such. With the setting, I really don’t know. It possibly could add a lot, and be important to your story, but I’m really not…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 do you have the link to that post by chance?

@aratrea thanks for that advice. It’s so encouraging and helpful. 🙂
