@dekreel I just went over your comments — thanks again for adding them! And thanks to Adora (such a beautiful name!) even though I don’t quite know who that is.
@clairec Can’t wait to see what you think of it!
@rochellaine Wow, it’s great what your family is doing. I’m glad you could relate. Thank you!

@dekreel @kaya-young @theacornman @sleepwalkingmk
Wow, thanks for all the nice things you said! I’m glad that y’all enjoyed it. 🙂 🙂 When I have time I will go over all the comments, but thanks for adding them!
Yes, I am an MK (currently in Taiwan), and yes this is loosely based off a real-life experience from travelling in the USA last summer.…[Read more]

Would anybody be willing to read and critique my latest short story?
It’s about a missionary kid who is struggling with letting go of people and embracing new friendships.
I’m hoping especially for comments about character, theme, plot, etc… as I tend to struggle with the big picture of fiction rather than the small details.
Here’s the link…[Read more]

And you know you’re a writer when you come on the computer to look up something for school but half an hour later you find yourself on the KP Forum.

*gasp* this place looks fun.
@naomijackson I sooo do that all the time!
You know you are a (rather perfectionistic) writer when you have pressed the delete button so many times within the process of writing (this) single sentence because every word has to be just right.

@ceaseless-prayer I think you attached a PDF file (it ends with Ian calling over the phone, “you know, just within boundaries”) so I’m not exactly sure that’s what you wanted–?
But I’ve read the story, and so far, I think it’s pretty cool even though the PDF doesn’t contain all of it yet. I can kind of see where you’re going with the death…[Read more]

@ceaseless-prayer Awesome! I’d like to proofread it for you, but like Dekreel said, I don’t think we can access the link via the website you’re using. Could you maybe share through a document or some other medium?

@aviantrail Welcome to the KP Forum!! I like the Warrior Cats series too, and actually have written fanfiction for that on Wattpad.
The quote you’ve attached to your signature is amazing 🙂 🙂

@jenwriter17 Thanks! And I tried to change it, but I don’t think you can. 🙁 (Just count 2-4-6-8 twice and enter three 9’s)

@jenwriter17 Congratulations on being published!
Definitely one of my challenges was ideas/motivation. At first my blog started out as writing about literally whatever in my life, but I struggled to find lasting motivation behind the random ideas I was coming up with, and ended up failing the schedule I had set for myself. So write about what you…[Read more]

@livgiordano Yes, that helps! Thanks 🙂
@dragon-snapper Yeah, finding a name is so time-consuming for me. Ugh. And my story is actually realistic fiction, so the details I’m mentioned are basically describing the setting and the actions of characters. Thanks, though!

Hi everyone,
I know that a lot of the advice/articles on this website pertain to writing novels, from which I’ve learned a lot, but I was wondering if there are any principles or characteristics which apply specifically to writing short stories?
At the moment I’m working on a short story for my writing class (due soon) and it’s pretty solid so…[Read more]

Grace H. replied to the topic Help: Explaining to Math kids in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 1 month ago
@aella Like what everyone else said, I’d say explain to him story structure in a logical way. Some good ones include Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Monomyth (ignore the movie outline stuff on the link attached) and Blake Snyder’s fifteen “beats” (again, ignoring the film stuff like opening and closing image).
Hero’s…[Read more]

@seekjustice Ideas from my own head that haven’t already been mentioned include a electrocution/laser device that you can put over someone’s chest and it will stop their heart immediately (if you’re going for efficient). If you’re going for torturous, you could have a full-body machine where lasers are aimed to kill cells in specific parts of the…[Read more]

@inkling-for-christ I love this idea! Is “bring hope to the dreamer and wide-eyed believer” from this song? (haha or maybe I’m just being a fangirl here). In all seriousness, though, this is a pretty amazing idea, and I would love to read this story.
There are a lot of articles online that you can search up that talk about writing guy’s POV’s…[Read more]
