*lowers voice and whispers back* Whoa, seriously? That’s an amazing way to come up with character names! I came up with mine because of a TV show I watched. I liked one of the main character’s names, so I tweaked it a little and that’s how it came out. Isn’t it weird how inspiration strikes at the most random times??? I’ve learned t…[Read more]

@hallie-jean Oh same here! Most of the time I make it up as I go, barely following my poor outline, haha…

Are there any genres that you’d be interested in writing in?

@hallie-jean Aw, thank you!

Yeah, dialogue is great! I use it more often than description to develop characters.

My favorite part about writing is probably plot twists and endings! I really like endings, haha.

Do you tend to plot or make everything up as you go?

@hallie-jean Ohhh, that sounds really cool! I like seven seas vibes 😀

Hey, same! A few of my books cross into historical fiction too!

I’ve been writing for… well, I can’t remember how long! I started taking writing seriously about 1-2 years ago.. and now I have seven books laid out before me XD. I’ve learned that writing is such an amazing…[Read more]

@hallie-jean

Oh, neat!! That’s an amazing name, too! She sounds really interesting! My MC’s name is Caira (pronounced Kai-ruh).

@scripter-of-kingdoms Ahh thank you! Yes, I’m bilingual, and to help myself improve I occasionally read books in Chinese.

@hallie-jean Aw thank you! I’m glad you feel inspired!

@issawriter7 Thank you! I love Camreigh as well XD Poor guy.

@hallie-jean Ahh your characters sound so cool! Yeah, I agree, guys are kinda more fun than girls.

I like Eleven, my central character from a fantasy that I’m writing. Secretly the crown prince but also the main villain…

Also Micah/Shade/Ethan from one of my mafia/gangster books! I really like how well-developed they came out.

And probably…[Read more]

@hallie-jean Hi! Welcome to Kingdom Pen!

You say you write fantasy? I do, too! Are you planning to write one book, or a series? 🙂

I love the sound of your books. I like to blend genres with my fantasy! Do you?

I really love to write, how long have you been writing for? 😀

@hallie-jean

Awww, thank you! 🙂

Girl, your book sounds AMAZING! That’s totally something I’d want on my bookshelf! And that was a really clear summary, too. What’s your MC’s name? I’m sure your book will turn out brilliant, too! Good luck! Happy writing! 🙂

@hallie-jean Oo, I love the sound of that story! I would love reading about it!

I don’t write short stories often, haha, and when I do like to write sad ones.

What are some of your favorite characters that you’ve created?

@hallie-jean Ah, I see! That’s perfectly fine!

Oo, those stories all sound rlly interesting! Yeah, I get what you mean about motivation. It’s hard. You just gotta keep at it and take breaks.

Ah, I’m currently juggling several stories right now! Some of my favorite past stories include one about a boy who has to make a choice at the end of summer…[Read more]

@hallie-jean Hello, Hallie!!!!! 🙂 Welcome to Kingdom Pen!!!!!!! I’m pretty new here too. I love writing fantasy too!!! I’ve never finished a novel either, but I hope to complete the one I’m working on. One thing I’ve learned this past month is that I am more motivated to write when I am writing with someone else. If you’d like we can write…[Read more]

@hallie-jean

Oooh, that makes me interested to read further!! *whispers* I may read more tonight, if it gets that good!

Well, I don’t have an official summary. It’s set in a fictional world, but basically, there was a terrible war that wiped out magic one thousand years ago, and the corrupted emperor is responsible. So my heroine (her name is…[Read more]

@hallie-jean Then I’ll definitely have to add that to my to-read list!

Ah, I get you. I used to read fantasy and other stuff as well. Now, contrary to what I thought as a child, I enjoy classics a lot more, haha.

Oo, suggestions! I don’t know how old you are, so I’ll be a little cautious when I recommend things…

When someone tells me they’re…[Read more]

@hallie-jean

Yesssss, I love Keefe and Annabeth as well! And the books they come from! I’m so happy to hear that you like fantasy, too! It’s the genre that I only write in, because… I just couldn’t imagine writing anything other than fantasy! It’s whimsical, it’s imaginative, and most of all, it’s really neat to write about things that could…[Read more]

@hallie-jean

That’s awesome! I haven’t read the Twelve Dancing Princesses before, but it sounds like a great book!
My favorite story is Dark Horse, by John Fischer. It’s a fairly short allegory told through POV of a horse. It is so good:)
My favorite setting is anything winter or with horses. Which I more often than not employ in my sto…[Read more]

@hallie-jean

A hearty welcome from Kingdom Pen, my friend! *tips fedora* Oh, and by the way, I offer everybody a cup of coffee when I first meet them, so *hands over coffee mug* enjoy! Kingdom Pen is an amazing place, and I’m sure you’ll fit right in and come to love it as much as I do!

And *gasps* did you say you were a fan of Keeper of the…[Read more]

@hallie-jean Your replies have worked! 🙂

Oo, I’ve heard a lot of good things about Keeper of the Lost Cities. I have a friend who is obsessed with them. And I really like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings as well! I’ve only watched a couple of the Avengers movies, though.

Ah, I used to draw a lot! Nowadays writing takes up too much of my time,…[Read more]

I hope you’ll…[Read more]

Hello Hallie! Welcome to Kingdom Pen!! 😀

I felt the same way when I found KP, it is almost impossible to find a good Christian writing community, especially one as good as Kingdom Pen:) What’s your favorite story of all time? Favorite setting to write in? Those are just questions I like to ask everybody XD
Anyway, Welcome! It’s…[Read more]
