@perfectfifths Huzzah for music! You play the violin right? Is your favorite music style classical? And that’s a fun bird in your profile pic. My brother is a birder and so now I notice all the different kinds of birds I might not have seen before 🙂 lol. What kind of bird is it? It almost looks like a penguin in the tiny profile pic box, but I…[Read more]

Rolena Hatfield replied to the topic A Time To Die in the forum Book Discussions 7 years, 6 months ago
@winter-rose *pokesinlate* I like how there’s a whole topic devoted to this book. Because, YES! It’s sooooo good! Everyone has voiced many of my thoughts about the book. Such as favorite characters, Jude and Reid (unfortunate that they’re the ones who die :p ) The most shocking scene was when Parvin lost her hand. I couldn’t close my hanging mouth…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Bummer! *muchapplauseforthehardworkofputtingastorytogether* It’s still a really good step as a writer to submit work to a contest. So well done!

@dragon-snapper Hurrah another music lover! What’s your favorite style of music? (classical, jazz, blues, contemporary or movie soundtracks while writing? 🙂 )
@holly-nelson-gray Yeah, faster the better, right 😉 My family is constantly teasing me about my strong like of driving fast. (I’ve thought that if I had been a guy, maybe God would’ve…[Read more]

Hey girls! We should finally be free of technical difficulties here.Emily, I bet that 90 quad bike is adorable! Yay, another person who likes to go fast!!! We have a track in our backyard (did I already say that?). It’s on a small hill, so it’s fun to go slowly down the bumpy side and then gun it on the flat stretch…[Read more]

Rolena Hatfield started the topic Just Chatter #2 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 6 months ago
Hey everyone! So Emily and Holly and I were having a chat about non-writer related things and for some reason we just kept hitting glitches in trying to respond to each other. So we’re making a topic to continue that chatter here. Feel free to jump in on the convo and enjoy some fellowship.

@dragon-snapper What Kate said 🙂
Also for some good examples of what other authors write about (and not just about writing) under this topic there were a lot of great blogs listed if you want to take a peek. -

Rolena Hatfield replied to the topic How To Write A Really Good Book Synopsis in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 6 months ago
Hey @holly-nelson-gray !
Great question! (bet I know what you’re going to write the synopsis for 😉 )
Well, let’s see. The snop should inform your readers what to expect out of your book. It’s like you’re setting up the anticipation, excitement of what’s to be found in the pages of your book.
It should include introducing the main character,…[Read more] -

Okay, *takes a deep breath* I’m testing a theory, gals. @emily-d @holly-nelson-gray. Let’s see if we can go reply like normal if the comments are so full. (don’t worry I saved our sweet get to know you party convo here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VnOe1uyhAAUku8pO_tyeTEsIQAebm0RJzJdx7S4u4js/edit?usp=sharing if you wanna see our previous…[Read more]

Ahhhhh!!!! It won’t let me post more than three words…. 🙁

Actually that was more than three words wasn’t it :p
-
I’ve never encountered this before… *tapschin*
-
Annnnddd now I’m talking to myself…
-
Perhaps, Holly and Emily, we’ll have to use some other source of communication to continue our convo or we’ll have to shorten our posts to a three word question followed by a three word answer…
-
That would be most difficult being the writers that we are :p
-
Ooo, how about this?! I’ll change the google doc in the link above and then you can reply there and use as many words as you want! (Only if ya’ll would like 🙂 ) Let me know if you’d like to continue chatting this way, cause I’d need your permission to add your email to the doc to allow you access.

Hi! @rolena-hatfield Yes I love quads! I have a 90 (way off, Hols! lol) It’s adorable. It fits on the back of my best friend’s dad’s Toyota Hilux (in other words, it’s tiny!) Yes, I love going fast. I like to go full speed. Though on my bike that’s probably only about 35 kilometres per hour. Sorry Rolena that this is all very Australian lol.…[Read more]

Make that MASSIVE music lover 🙂

PLUS isn’t there an easy way to fix this communication thingie? I mean, we’re sending public messages anyway. Can’t we just make a new forum called Emily Rolena Holly Chat (or whatever) and talk on there????

Rolena Hatfield replied to the topic To the End of School *raises glass of Orange Juice* in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 6 months ago
School ending is definitely a reason to celebrate! (I graduated in ’14 and didn’t go to college 😉 ) But I’ll pass around ice cream cake for those who did, because HURRAY you survived and you did it!!! And an extra blob of whip cream (perhaps a cherry on top) for those who still have a few years left. Don’t fret, cause high school goes by faster…[Read more]

@Ethryndal Note to self about blogs: avoid blogging like the long version of a grandmother’s facebook post. :p
Thanks for the two cents! -
Rolena Hatfield replied to the topic Blogs: What Would You Like to See More of? in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 6 months ago
@winter-rose Glad you jumped in! Yes to interaction! It’s always great to know that the blogger cares about you as a person by taking the time to reply.

Hey girlies! Welcome to the get to know you party! *blowsbubblesandballoonseverywhere* You two know each other right? 😉 Great! (Rolena hands out ice cream. You both like ice cream, no?!)

Opps. A couple of mistypes in that last comment 🙂 Typing too fast I guess. Oh! And is that you in your profile picture?? @holly-nelson-gray Also, I’m sending your sister Trinity an email right now about her account 😉 I figured when I saw her application that you two were sisters!

*mouthhangsopen* That’s awesome! My mom grew up riding horses, but I’ve barely sat on top of one for more than ten minutes. I also have a friend who’s training to be an Olympic rider. I love watching people ride though! Do you compete?

/Sci-Fi Dystopian. It’s about these 10 kids/ Nice! Those 10 kids must be the multiple characters you were talking about that you’ve been character profiling. That is a lot of characters! But that means you’ll have lots of different and fun personalities to work with! Do you have one main character who’s the prime narrator?

Okay, I know that Emily replied to this (cause my email notifications say so) but her reply hasn’t show up on the KP screen yet. 🙁 I’ll see if I can get that reply here… But while I’m working on that… I see you both are working on a dystopian book.

@emily-d She’s here!!! (brings in a couple of pounds of gelato) I’ve never had gelato before, but if someone likes it even better than ice cream, it’s gotta be great stuff!
Yay for books! I know it’s terrible to ask for just one! You have a great list there and I’m sure you could go on and on (me too! 😉 )
I am all for randomness! I’ll be…[Read more]-
Ooo and Emily… I read your previous missing reply in my emails and it said you’ve been published here on Kingdom Pen! Was that a short story, poem or something else? (I wanna go back and read it now that I personally know the author 😉 )

Hmm… @holly-nelson-gray This is odd. I’m checking into it.
-
It won’t let me post many words either 😀 Is it doing that just right here in the public messaging or on the main forum page as well?
-
Maybe there’s a limit to how much we can post in the comments under a personal profile update?!
-
Another thought, sometimes when I try to post in the forum, it won’t show up right away but will pop up like an hour later (slow processing I guess).

@Holly-Nelson-Gray So many good things said here already!
I’m just gonna add a quick thought, building off of what Kate said.
Balancing dialogue and description is not so much about how much you have of one or the other, but about how you use both in a natural and realistic way. This requires knowing your characters. Who they are and how they…[Read more] -
