@godlyfantasy12 Friend, is this forum psychic or something, because right as I opened up KP, I had numerous tabs right next to it called “how to bullet journal”. See, some family friends gave me a dotted journal several years ago, which I’ve been just using to scribble down random things and events, but since several of my friends have really…[Read more]

I’ve actually never read those, but they sound gripping, so I may look into reading them! Oh, I know, fantasy is just such a great genre, mostly because you can incorporate so much imagination into it. I’m actually writing my first novel (it might turn into a trilogy) right now. It’s about a girl with special powers, and she’s been prophesied to…[Read more]

@GodlyFantasy12

Great to meet you! *shakes hand and sips coffee

Ooh, I’m a fantasy writer too!! And reader. What are some of your favorite fantasy books? Do you like dragons?

This is a great thread, so I’ll invite myself over 🙂

For me, I can think of a few, namely plot versus characters. I used to pour all of my writing thoughts into developing the perfect plot and story that would surely keep the author hooked. But what I neglected (and lacked) was developed characters. Not to say that the plot isn’t important, but…[Read more]

The portal had torn the world asunder.

@kathleenramm I’m actually quite similar to you, Kathleen. When I first started writing I learnt about theme and I was like, “Eh. I just want to write things that people will enjoy.” But now I want to write things that people will think about for a long time.

@godlyfantasy12 Sure thing.

The great gods of the wind surrounded her, for she had violated the order of the sacred plains.

Oooh, a writer’s corner! (Mind if I join in for a bit?) As long as there’s coffee, I’m content 🙂

@_delta-leigh_ Hiya, welcome to the Kingdom!

Your hobbies all sound really interesting. I also enjoy music, and if I had more time, there would be a lot of other things I’d like to do for fun. Alas, I don’t.

I see that most here have already covered the usual bulk of questions, so…

Do you mind sharing anything about your WIP? Anything about the world?

@kathleenramm Nice; I use Google docs a lot as well.

@gracie-j I just downloaded LibreOffice, and am excited to try it out! I also downloaded Quoll Writer; it seems very close to a free alternative to Scrivener. Thanks for the suggestion!

@godlyfantasy12 Then disregard everything that I’ve just said.

Oh, to have graduated…literally counting down the days…

@godlyfantasy12 If you’re not in high school yet run while you can, kid…. Jk, jk. But enjoy your lasting time while you can.

@godlyfantasy12 The term of “free time” is right now on another plane of existence from me…it’s be so long…so many years…

@godlyfantasy12 Oh…to have free time…and a wii….

@godlyfantasy12 That sounds great! I just finished four pages in my WIP, and now I am going to be finishing homework.

@godlyfantasy12 Me? Since I have a tight writing schedule, I think, “Ah, I’m very excited that by this time next year, I’ll hopefully be writing ‘this’. Also stuff like, ‘If I don’t finish this now, then I can’t get to that.'”

@gracie-j Excellent points, Grace. Thank you for it. I get what you’re saying now, and it makes everything a lot clearer.

Though, after thinking about this a while, I remember something a very smart teacher of mine said once. When asked how what he thought about swearing, he said that he usually considered about if this would hurt the person that he would say it in front of. I don’t really remember the whole conversation, but I do remember one of my classmates saying…[Read more]

@gracie-j I’ll be sure to check out LibreOffice, thank you!

@jenwriter17 @seekjustice Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll probably look for a free alternative for Scrivener, because I have heard a lot of good things about it.
