So…I sorta disappeared for the weekend, but I’m back!!!

I have 3 characters; here are their descriptions:

Jaclyn Fallows—the MC for my fantasy novella.  15 years old, has caramel hair that goes to the middle of her back, gray-blue eyes, a few freckles, and probably a mischievous smile/smirk.  She i…[Read more]

Hi friends,

I wanted to ask for prayer because I’m kinda going through some depression at the moment. It’s not like I ever feel this deep despair or anything, but I have this constant sinking feeling that’s just enough to distract me. And it does distract me. I’m constantly evaluating myself in every area and some of it’s good, like when I worry…[Read more]

Tagging @Ethryndal for gracing us all with her dazzling wit and making us all laugh with her snazz and sarcasm. Every forum needs a sarcastic elf.

@Joy perfect! So glad it was helpful. 😀

@jane-maree @cindygreen Thanks so much!

@kate-flournoy

I think I’ve pretty much got those four pillars worked out, so yay!

@daeus

@mnvalentine

@sam-kowal

Thanks, guys! This is my first time ever doing an in-depth worldbuild so I just wanted to get some direction. You all have been a great help 🙂

That’s quite some url you have, Grace 😀 I hope the answers on th…[Read more]

Glad it helps!

And yeah, obviously, you don’t want to spoil your story before you publish it. You don’t want to give everything away. Just give little teasers, and of course, talk about your process of creating your novel, because that doesn’t give anything away, but increases interest.

One thing you might want to do is look at what other…[Read more]

Now I’m getting all emotional and Josiah isn’t even leaving leaving. xD *wipes eyes*

Seriously though, I loved that poem @Corissa-maiden-of-praise

@Seekjustice aaaand sorry about that?? The forum kinda crashed for me and I don’t really know why. But yeees nice. Aussie pinterest memes are hilarious. XD

Noo, I’ve never actually tried that because I’m not keen on chocolate to start with so yeah. xP

@daughteroftheking Aren’t all writers secretly time travelers? 😉

@christi-eaton Thanks! (Also, side-note, I’m finally “officially” joining you in the theater department- I’m playing Mother Gothel in a brief comedy sketch with some friends for a 4-H competition 😀 )

@aratrea *grins* I’m glad you liked it! And change definitely gives a new…[Read more]

@daughteroftheking Thanks!

Also, maybe I should clarify that he’s not leaving leaving… mainly he’s stepping down from editor-in-chief; he’ll still be on the forum sometimes. There’s a post about it on the main KP website. 😉

@SeekJustice *pokes in* Heeyy, so I have no idea if you’re around or not? But I’m here-ish. 😛

Hi @spradlin! Ghosts are cool.

@Rochellaine yes! Agh, I love all those little things that he did. How he told his servants to pull out some of the pieces of their sheaves and drop them so she could pick them up. <3

@NotAWriter yess! It’s really cool that there’s so much information that we can each see in it. 😀

@Jenwriter17 like, no kidding this is basically a love-at-first-sight story. xD

@daeus @dekreel Or am I? *waves hands around like a really old-school hollywood movie ghost* Still think this is cool idea, btw.

@reaganramm Wow! Thanks so much! This is infinitely helpful! I was wondering about this because I read an article about someone who said never to talk about your novel before publishing it because it would make the book jaded whenever it came out, but now I think that article was probably wrong. XD 😛

Well, I knew I wanted to publish before I go…[Read more]
