*sighs* Gryffindor, hm? Guess I could tolerate that. Not as cool as Slytherin, but still cool…

Anyway. I just started listening to Imagine Dragons, but I really like them. What’s your favorite song? I think mine is Thunder, I can’t resist singing it when it comes on. @ashlyvye

@princessfoo As far as cultural impact goes, I’m not sure Twilight or the Hunger Games series had much to give. They were popular, but empty. More for entertainment purposes than to present food for thought.

*raises hand*

@aedesia Welcome to KP!

What do you like to write?

Hello there @ashlyvye! Welcome to KP. If you have any questions about where to find something on the site, feel free to ask!

Ooh, you like Harry Potter? Do you know which house you’d be in? *crosses fingers and hopes for Slytherin*

Well, for me, it’s price… I don’t have a job yet and there are other things I need to be able to pay for…

But also, it’s mainly that you’ve already helped me so much with show don’t tell just by working with me on my book. 😛 So… there’s not much demand on the Snapper side of things. (Unless you were to beta-read all my books. Lol)

@daeus

@ingridrd Thanks!
@daughteroftheking Excellent. *evil chuckle* If you want to see more collages, or learn more about the story, I’ll be posting a lot about it starting on the first Friday of March and throughout the Fridays of March on my blog. (And that sounded a lot like advertising. Lol) 😛

@jenwriter17 The funny part is that it fits his…[Read more]

@dekreel Go for the blog idea, but promise me you’ll still post advice here? *grins* Thanks for sharing! Feel free to tag any others that you think would have good advice to share.

Well hello there! It’s nice to meet you @christianna-hellwig

Admittedly, I haven’t much advice to give, because I haven’t “done much”, as you put it in your post. I’m eighteen, but I’m still learning how to do things like finish a draft, create characters, create (and write) a solid theme. I like learning. Makes places like KP all the more…[Read more]

But if you just want to write for fun, you can basically do whatever you want :). And whether you intend to build an audience or not, the best tone to use is yours. Don’t try to be anyone else, like DG said.

I can’t even begin to tell you how important this is @catwing! Don’t forget it. 😉

Hey all! Yesterday’s chosen one was @pickupyourpenandwrite! Congrats!

I can’t stop thinking about this book I read a few weeks ago.

<i>Scythe, </i>by Neal Shusterman. I’m not gonna give any spoilers plot-wise, but suffice it to say that this book has amazing worldbuilding, the character development is really well done, and the overall concept of the book isn’t at all what I expected it to be–it’s better.

This…[Read more]

Yep, Slytherin and proud. 😉

Okay, so it sounds like you’ve got all your plot events in order, but what I haven’t heard you mention are the characters. What motivates the characters to go through with this? What are they trying to learn? Have you thought about that at all?

@rochellaine, right, that makes sense! 😀 I thought it was a little…um…unusual.

Also, totally agree with your description of how a man or woman is ready for marriage. This would be our family’s thoughts too.

And yes, yes, yes! You are 100% right! A woman’s highest calling is being a wife and mother! I’m tired of people talking about women’s…[Read more]

@gh24682468999, Oh no! Timing can be a bit of a nuisance with live stuff, hey?

@dekreel

Sorry, I’m getting a lot of work under my belt (ever think what a weird expression that is), at the moment, but I’ll be writing a bit tomorrow. 🙂

@dekreel, 😀

@ariella-newheart, We have a few animals and animal friends on here. @mariposa has a dinosaur, who I’m sure she’d love to introduce you to. 🙂

Speaking of which… @dragon-snapper, with @mariposa ‘s permission, can we have Aberdeen the Authorosarus in the LOKD?

@rochellaine, Yep! The books are your true family. 😀

Also, I quite curious now. You guys have a specific age that you call marriageable age? What is it? We don’t have a specific plan, although I do know that I don’t want to date, looking for ‘the one’. I’m just waiting for God to bring me the right person in His perfect timing. 🙂

Please don’t…[Read more]
