@karissa-chmil Thank you! It looks so beautiful!

@annabelle My current projects are all fantasy, haha, but I also dabble in slice of life, crime, among other genres. I want to give them all a try!

What about you?

@annabelle I’m working on two long series, one of which is for a contest, a dark fantasy standalone novel, and right now a short story for the KP forest contest haha. It’s a bit much.

@karissa-chmil Ey, that sounds great, Karissa! What’s your blog?

@lavenderbookling Welcome, welcome. Sit down and have some tea? *offers cookies*

@trahia-the-minstrel I don’t know who Zuko is, but if you see him as a good character he counts. Also, I totally see why you’d pick #4 for a Marvel character–they can get out of things by themselves, what with all their cool stuff!

Also, you’re allowed more than one character for liking or hating. I can see why your choices annoyed you;…[Read more]

@annabelle Yeah, you can talk about anything!

Wow, congratulations on your author spotlight! It looks quite interesting!

As someone who is also juggling several projects, I relate. Which one is your favorite story to work on right now?

Ah, I’ve always gotten emails from YWW, but never could bring myself to join. But I’m planning on taking some…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I’d say both. Sometimes I have names and character ideas and I want to flesh out a plot around them; other times I have a plot idea and I make up quick characters to fill in the blanks. But if I had to choose one, it’s most likely characters first.

@karissa-chmil

Thank you 🙂

@elishavet-pidyon

Ah, yes. A skill our younger selves painfully possess. XD

@godlyfantasy12

Oh, those are so good! What great characters.

@kathleenramm Depends. 90% of what I write is fanfictions*, so I already have several characters–and can just work out a plot and maybe a few more characters.

But for my original story, I got a plot and main character at almost the same time. Right now, I’m working more on creating characters and the world than I am the plot.

@madelyn  Ooh! I haven’t read any fairytale retellings, but a few friends of mine told me about a show they watched which was basically about all the different fairytales mixed together. Like, the descendant of a character from one story was a character from another, etc.

I’ve read the original Rumpelstiltskin story (a few different versions,…[Read more]

@abigail-m It’s very cool! I like the fact that the story’s about animals (rabbits in particular), yet there’s a bunch of battles and cool stuff in it. Also that it’s not super violent even though it’s about a war–the author wrote it for kids.

@abigail-m I don’t mind Fitz, but I can see why people might. I’m just happy that you’ve also heard of the KOTLC series…..I like it, and it was funny when they told Sophie to “make him look pretty in pink.”

Sam is awesome! He was a great character, that’s for sure. And he’s kind of forgotten in the corner most of the time, which makes it all…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel Awesome!

@trahia-the-minstrel

Ah, don’t be sorry. Waiting makes seeing a new article all that much more exciting, plus I totally get being busy (being bored is literally a luxury for me XD ). But anyway, that’s amazing! I looked at the Author Conservatory’s website tonight actually to learn what it was… and it looks spectacular! I may have t look deeper…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Okay, first of all, I gotta say that I love this. Second of all, I have quite a handful of characters that these questions apply to. Thank you in advance for this topic by the way.

Is there a characters I don’t like, but don’t hate either?
Okay so this might put Shannon Messenger fans on the defensive, but I’m gonna say Fitz Vacke…[Read more]

@trahia-the minstrel

Your site is amazing, Trahia! I loved it and am totally going back, I mean, writing, drawing, and nerd stuff all in one place? That’s home. I signed up for your newsletter straightaway; awesome job:)

@trahia-the-minstrel

I wish I could be of help, but I haven’t heard of the Author Conservatory before.

@e-k-seaver

Awesome blurb! I liked it a lot actually, but sadly I don’t have that kind of platform at the moment to sign up. Though I wish you the best! 😀

@keilah-h

Hi, Keilah! I’ve never read Green Ember before, but it sounds awesome. That’s a really wonderful thing about Kingdom Pen, I learn about new books to read, from other writers. I’m totally going to read this one:) What’s your favorite part about it?
