@that_writer_girl_99  Ooh, boy. Let’s try this…

Here is a little tactic for writing a compelling, and non-cliche fantasy story: Diversify your world. By all means include dragons, elves, knights, old parchments and/or a mentor or two — because those are AWESOME. But imagine how much more awesome your world would be if you added a unique…[Read more]

@christianna-hellwig  Greetings, and welcome to the bestistest place on the internet! (Or as I like to call it: The bestest place in Cyberspace) 😀

Ooh, music! I really want to learn violin. I can play cajon pretty well, and I can play “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” and “The Imperial March” on the piano X)

I’m glad you have decided to join us!…[Read more]

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. 😉

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?

@ariella-newheart  Good question! I have struggled with the exact same thing in my KPA (that’s Kapeefer Adventure, sort of like the LOKD). I guess it depends on the series: How long it is, and when and where your MC(s) are traveling. If you have to put in all your recurring characters, you could either alter the characters so they fit each scene,…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  Probably not tomorrow, but I should be available on the weekend

@rochellaine  @seekjustice  @clairec  @dragon-snapper  @jenwriter17  @aislinn-mollisong

*peeks in*  Anyone still here?

@kaya-young  Good topic idea! Let’s see…. The most recent thing I can think of is Shakespeare’s play, Richard III. I haven’t read Act 5, though, so no spoilers X)

@clairec  Oopssss…

@ariella-newheart  Page 31, not page 37

@rochellaine XD Yep! It’s quite amusing, although I have a strange case of internet paranoia, so I probably won’t confess anything. 😉 😛 If you know what I mean…

@seekjustice No, thanks for rambling. That is actually really helpful!

And I think I’m going to sign out now. I wrote 797 to my novel, and a beginning of a blog post. Now… I have…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well that’s good. XD I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it so far.

Soo… do you make comments on your novel before editing it? (I’m going to edit a book soon and it will technically be my first time editing a novel by myself on a computer. Yay…)

@rochellaine HI! Ooh, western. I’ve considered doing one of those before.

@seekjustice Yessss… 😀 So it makes sense why I’m listening to a slow love song by Andre Bocelli? ? No…. Haha!

XD I’m sure you can do it. And if not, I’m also sure we ‘negotiate.’ 😉

@seekjustice Yessss… 😀 So it makes sense why I’m listening to a slow romance song by Andre Bocelli? ? No…. Haha!

@seekjustice Writing my novel, Foundations. *rubs hand* Exciting suspenseful scene. 😀 😀

@winter-rose @seekjustice Still there? I might be able to join you for a few minutes.

@rochellaine HAHA this is a funny topic!

I find Calvin from Wrinkle in Time admirable, just not cute

Lessee… I’ve always really liked this guy named Victor from a children’s series I tried to write a few years ago. He’s adorable XD

Who else… Um… *COUGHharrypotterCOUGH* So yeah…

Janner from The Wingfeather Saga

And maybe one or two…[Read more]
