@aviantrail Welcome. 😀

If you’re a Star Wars fan, would you happen to also be a Kylo Ren fan?

No death threats if you’re not, but I’m just saying. I think he’s pretty cool. 😛 😉

@kaya-young Hi! Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet.

A homeschool grad here. What type of books does Jeff Bridges write?

@aviantrail  *waves enthusiastically*  Welcome!  I know this is a boring question, but where do you go to school?

@kaya-young  Hello!  I am also 15, homeschooled, and have three younger siblings (also an older sister)!  Do you have a favorite genre to write?

Welcome to the forum @kaya-young! I was homeschooled myself from Kindergarten through high school. Afraid I’m not familiar with Jeff Bridges. :/ What other authors do you enjoy?

Hey @aviantrail–welcome to the site! Love that Wodehouse quote in your signature! Are those short stories fan-fictions for Homer’s Odyssey, or something different?

@alia Oooh. This is a really cool question.

There are a lot of approaches you could take with this. Most importantly, I think you need to think outside the box. Maybe that means reading more widely within the fantasy genre for inspiration. It definitely means asking yourself what if questions.

One suggestion is to make God an antagonist for a…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I haven’t really read modern dystopia, but I do get the impression that it has lost something it used to have. Namely, all the early dystopias were prophesies. The authors looked at the culture around them and, knowing what they did of mankind, civilization, and technology, they constructed a model of the future that they thought was…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Ha. I actually have a KP Cinema video about cliches in dystopian novels coming out sometime this month. xD So a lot of my “advice” would be in there.

A heartless queen of hearts. Haha!

@that_writer_girl_99  Here is Evyn!  I wasn’t sure how long her hair is so I went long…

@dekreel  *bows*

@that_writer_girl_99  How long is Evyn’s hair?

@dekreel  Here are Kevin and Phoebe!  *wipes brow*  Oh dear, it took me way too long to get her nose right…

@that_writer_girl_99  Oooooh….I want to draw Evyn…and possibly one of the boys.  They all sound like great characters! 😉

@dekreel  I’d like to try Kevin and possibly Phoebe… 🙂

@pickupyourpenandwrite That makes sense; I’ve been there as well in the past. Do you have a clear idea on what parts of your story you need to improve on?

@sleepwalkingmk Huh. I’m not seeing anything in spam, so I’m not sure what happened on that front. :/

Either way, I like the tension between the character’s plot and thematic goals there. I’m a bit unsure, however, from what you’ve said if your plot goal is really the plot goal of your story. It seems like the protagonist stops trying to achieve…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum, @pickupyourpenandwrite! Glad you joined us. 🙂 Great work in passing the 50,000 word mark with your latest novel! Do you have a revision plan in place yet for the work?
