I got one book. Only one. But it is the best book you’re ever gonna read.

What We Found In The Sofa and How It Saved The World by Henry Clark.

I’m not gonna bother explaining it. I’ll sound insane if I do.

Just read it.

Make me happy.

And that is all I have to say.

I just now realized you mentioned you already liked some of Tolkien and C.S. Lewis’ works (and owned TWS), so sorry about that. XD. Also, I just remembered: if you ever want to try out a nonfiction book, you could look into The Writer’s Journey. It helps you structure your story, figure out character roles, and also touches on the T…[Read more]

*grins cheekily* *rubs hands together* Oh goodness, thank you for beginning such a lovely (and helpful) topic! You’re not the only one racking the shelves for good books. XD Anyways, I’d love to help you out if I could with finding some book recommendations, my dear writing friend. 😉 Though, I think we have similar taste, so most of…[Read more]

@lewilliams

Ah, I totally understand about college reading lists. And I would recommend The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander but you’ve already read that series…

If you like historical fiction (and are okay with a legal thriller) I would suggest The Trials of Kit Shannon by James Scott Bell! It’s a series about a girl in 1903 who is trying to…[Read more]

@lewilliams Ah, yes, books. Also something I’ve been struggling with lately. But I’d be glad to give you some reccs of books that I love! Although, I have to warn you…lately I haven’t been able to stomach anything other than classic lit, so maybe a lot of these books will have the same flavor as the things that you read for your college…[Read more]

@relia Another job, because I feel like maybe, just maybe if I had to do writing as work then I might hate it.

@relia

I would write and choose to have another job. I’m a firm believer that you won’t have many good experiences to write about if you don’t go and experience them in the first place. Having another job can introduce you to new tasks, new team dynamics, and new personalities to observe and learn from. Also, having another (interesting) job can…[Read more]

Hello Seth! Welcome to KP. My name is Jodi and I like writing fantasy too! I also write historical and dystopian fiction.

If you could go to any place in any story you’ve ever liked, what place would you go to and why?

Welcome again and I hope to see you around the forums! 🙂

@typewriter77 Hi Seth! Nice to meet you! I’m Linyang, though most here call me Lin. I also write fantasy and contemporary, as well as crime and now occasionally some dystopian and maybe eastern fantasy. I haven’t met anyone who’s written Wuxia before! I do love reading some of them. Might I ask if you’re an anime fan? You seem like the type.

Do…[Read more]

Hi there! Welcome to the Kingdom of Pen! My name is Alexa, though everyone calls me Lexi, and I’m glad to be the very first to welcome you to our little community! Would you care for some coffee? Here you are. *gives coffee mug* Wow, those are some interesting genres to write in (they sound really fun)! Do you have a favorite genre…[Read more]

@kathleenramm That’s such a fun story!

Other than people that would make good characters…

On the first day of one of my classes this year I was heading in doors to the place where we hold our co-op, and anyways, while I was still outside in the parking lot, this car just drove by in front of my, crunching this safety cone (which are…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Awesome! Good luck with the rest of it!

@faith-q

That’s so cool that you love ASL so much. I love Jo March too, and I loved the 2019 Little Women movie! Have you watched that version of the story?

The World War II era is so interesting! There are a lot of possibilities for writing in that era, which is what makes it such a popular historical fiction setting I suppose.

Welcome again! 🙂

@sami-eastwood That synopsis sounds awesome! I would love to read a book about that!

Disaster movies are certainly unique. I don’t usually go to watch them but I have watched several. And those are an awesome choice of books!

Ah, I’ve heard of ranch dressing on pizza, though I have yet to try it! I will have to, though!

@nanisnook I usually end up procrastinating for a week and regretting it, but yeah I usually push on through instead of skipping around.

@nanisnook

For me? I always put the scene in the parenthesis (perhaps tell what happens in a couple of sentences) and then just move on. If you’re feeling the urge to write the next scene, then totally go for it! I’ve found that writing the scenes I’m in the mood for helps me #1 stay motivated and not get bored with my story, and #2 write more…[Read more]

@faith-q Hi there! Welcome to Kingdom Pen! I’m Linyang, though most folks here just call me Lin. Pleasure to make your acquaintance!

That is a lot of siblings! It must be a fun family!

Those are a lot of languages! I’m currently trying to learn Japanese when I can.

What are some of your favorite books or movies?

What are some of your favorite…[Read more]
