Thanks, @freedom. Sometimes I have to remind myself that it’s not like I’m slaying a dragon, I’m just writing a book. How dangerous can it be?

I’m working on convincing my writing to become a book and not just random scribbles. I’ll let y’all know how it goes. 🙂

Alia started the topic Its been a while in the forum Start HERE 1 year, 8 months ago
Hello there,
It has been 2 years since I have been on KP, and I’ll be honest about 2 years since I have seriously written anything so that’s been fun. But I have returned and I hope to write a lot during the rest of the spring and over the summer and I just might become a regular back in the kingdom.
A little about me:
- I am the 4th child of 6…

Mallory O'Bier replied to the topic Does anyone write rap lyrics/rap music? in the forum Music 2 years, 8 months ago
Nice to meet you too, @Libby! So do you! 😊
I like to rap about whatever’s on my mind and what I’m feeling. It’s a refreshing mode of expression. 😁😎👍
What do you like to rap about?

Nice to meet you too, @trahia-the-minstrel. I haven’t been on here is a really long time. It’s good to be back! 😊

Mallory O'Bier started the topic Does anyone write rap lyrics/rap music? in the forum Music 2 years, 8 months ago
Lately, I’ve been writing some rap lyrics. I don’t know why. I just felt like trying it, and it’s fun and therapeutic.
Still, I know very little about it, or if anything I’m writing is any good. So I was wondering if any of y’all are familiar with rap?

Mallory O'Bier replied to the topic What come to you first? Plot or Characters? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 8 months ago
I would say that usually, I get a plot idea first, then the character just naturally shows up as I’m plotting, but sometimes I do get an idea for a cool character first, and then the story plots itself around them.
So it varies.
Plot and characters (or at least, main characters) are very connected for me, though. They’re essentially…[Read more]

Mallory O'Bier replied to the topic What's Your Favorite Relationship Type in Fiction? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 8 months ago
I love a good bromance! Frodo and Sam’s friendship is so moving. I really enjoy reading about guys’ friendships, more than I do romance. Maybe because I’m a girl and it’s more mysterious to me? I don’t know.
All I know is that there’s something awesome and powerful about it, and also vaguely incomprehensible. XD
And cool. Which reminds me, I…[Read more]

Mallory O'Bier replied to the topic Does writing energize or exhaust you? Or both? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 8 months ago
Writing energizes me and fills me with joy. I’m truly happiest when writing. I can get tired while writing, but it doesn’t usually exhaust me. It’s only really exhausting if the words or inspiration or whatever I need just isn’t flowing as it should. :/
But if I’ve turned my light off and I get a sudden spark of an idea… I may turn the light…[Read more]

Mallory O'Bier replied to the topic What is your least favorite type of hero? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 6 months ago
I think I know what you mean, @gracie-j. Good heroines are hard to find. Elizabeth Bennet is definitely one of the rare exceptions. She’s brilliantly written, and we’re the same personality type (ENTP), so it’s hard not to like her. We think too much alike. 😉
My sister is an INTJ and she likes Darcy for the same reasons. We enjoy debating and…[Read more]

Mallory O'Bier replied to the topic What is your least favorite type of hero? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 6 months ago
I think my least favorite type of hero is the chosen one. It’s pretty overdone, and at times so cliche. I don’t hate it, though.
Also, the Mary Sue hero, because it’s just really hard to relate to and like a hero that is overpowered through basically no effort of their own, always gets stronger right when they need to, and never seems to actually…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdoms, Hey! welcome to KP. Let me tag some other people who might be interested. I don’t have any characters for you right now since I’m trying to focus on plot right now, but when I start focusing on characters again I’ll let you know

@jenwriter17, pretty good. I moved into my dorm this past Thursday so I’ve been trying to get adjusted to campus living and getting ready for my classes to start tomorrow
How about you?

Hello, Mallory!! I guess I should introduce myself. I’m Esther: a volleyball-playing, violin-squeaking, dog-obsessed, homeschooled, God-loving, amateur writer!!
As for the short answer to your question: Great!!
Now for the long answer:
It looks like you haven’t been active for a while. I’ll tell ya, lots of new people have joined since…[Read more]
Hi, Esther! Thanks, I appreciate the welcome! 😊 I’m glad to hear the forum is so active these days. Volleyball is cool! What position do you play? I was homeschooled too. I have a variety of hobbies, but right now I’m into archery (total beginner), watercolor painting, and walking. And I like all kinds of animals, but maybe cats the most (because…[Read more]
I play setter! Though that may change since I may be joining a new team this year. Idk yet. 🤷🏻♀️
Ooooh! Archery sounds cool!! We went to this place for my brother’s birthday in where you shoot arrows (in a variety of archery games), but obviously they are foam on the end. I was terrible at it. 😂
Watercolor painting is really neat!! I’ve done it…[Read more]
Only the nice ones. I agree with you there! How are you doing these days?
I’m doing pretty good!! School’s over, so that’s really nice. XD And summer break’s been fun. 😊 I’m going to be participating in some really fun things in June and July and I’m really excited. 😄 Plus I have a summer job, so that’s been fun. 😉
What about you?
I’m doing good! I’m working a lot between my jobs as a photographer’s assistant and a clerk at the library, and writing in between. I’m working on finishing a draft of my WIP within the next three months and getting my blog up. I’ve been writing some poetry and song lyrics too. I’m also trying to do and learn as many new things as possible because…[Read more]
Ooooh, that sounds like fun!! 😄
When you start up your blog you’ll have to let me know! 😊
Sure! 🙂
