Merry Christmas, Kapeefers!
Are you enjoying the holidays? Christmas is my favorite time of year, and, as a result, my room is buried in cheery art from July to December. Ever since I can remember, I’ve always made homemade cards—sometimes sketches, other times cut-outs of bells, snowmen, or trees, and it wouldn’t take long for my carpet to c…[Read more]

@Dekreel ooh, that’s an unusually flattering representation of me waking up. It usually involves rolling over at least five times and eventually tumbling off the bed tangled in my fleecy blanket (with static hair flying all over the place) and then crawling my way still half asleep to my closet while splitting my ears with yawning and trying not…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper congratulations on branching out. 😉
They’ve covered a lot… the only thing new I have to add is pretty small. You mentioned that you’re tired of writing snarky characters and want to try something different, but had no idea how to go about it…
Why do you like snarky characters in the first place? Is it because they come easy…[Read more]

Hello, @kina-lamb! I don’t know if this is much help, but this is something that I like to do sometimes:
One thing that you could do is organize the overall plot like this:
- Exposition
- Conflict
- Rise of conflict 1
- Rise of conflict 2
- Rise of conflict 3Â Â Â etc…
- Climax
- Denoument
I don’t know if that would help with the kind of st…[Read more]

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Story Order in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 9 months ago
@Kina-Lamb well, that’s pretty sound as far as I can see. 🙂 The only step I might add between the two is figuring out the theme, but I’ve not done non-fiction before, so I can’t say for certain how majorly that would figure in.
In your place, I would just ask myself, What lesson does this story teach me? To have courage? To persevere? To be kind…[Read more]

@overcomer I understand… It’s just that we goof off and chat on the Writer’s Corner, too! XD

Hi y’all!
I’ve got a question for you:
In what order do you write your stories?
Figure out the plot then start writing it? Or is there another step?
As some of you may know, my WIP is a children’s book about my great-grandpa’s story in the Armenian genocide. Grandpa was just here so we sat down, pulled out the manuscripts great-grandpa left…[Read more]

Hey Kapeefers!
I’m stuck.
Not that Chosen One’s get stuck or anything… 😉
Anyway, recently I’ve decided to major things. One is that I’m taking a break from one story until I’m way older cause then it will be way better than it would be if I wrote it now (there are more reason for that, but it is what it is.) Two, is that I’m annoyed with…[Read more]

Thanks, @audrey-caylin!
@anyone-else-still-here I’m signing off; I’ll still be around the Kingdom, but I’m taking a break from writing.
Nice to meet you, Audrey!

@daughteroftheking I knew you’d like the Wingfeather Saga reference!! I’m dropping in other references to other books, too. 🙂
By the way, what does N.C. stand for?

Joy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #11 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 9 months ago
@audrey-caylin Yeah, It’s exactly like that! Alright, I already have a lot of characters, so I think you’ll be a minor, if that okay. 🙂 Here’s a link:

@audrey-caylin *inspiration gears turning* Man, you would’ve fitted in perfectly in my KPA (KeePer Adventure)! Maybe I could give you a cameo apparence…

@audrey-caylin Yeah, I’m glad to be not evil, but I must warn you that I’m a bit impulsive, so if I get too excited… let’s just say it might result in an inadvertent slash. Luckily I’ve learned to do most of my “raving” in private. Sometimes it does result in claw marks on the walls, though. 😛

@audrey-caylin Umm… That’s a long story! Basically I was born an evil monster. But somebody (I don’t know who) rescued me and took me out of the chasms. And then I just got less and less evil.
So yeah, I’m an ex-evil, Tarnaran, “Red Chasm beast,” as they call it. *shrug* 🙂
