Sure, girl! I’d LOVE to help you out if I’m able! (Conversational scenes are some of my favorite so I’m very excited!!!!) Anyway, the email you know of mine works great for me (I’d rather not put it here where everyone can see it, but if you don’t remember it, then I can share my author email instead.)

(sorry for my late response. I don’t check KP as much as I should. XD)

But YESSS!!!!! You should!!! I hope you enjoy them. A NIGHT DIVIDED WAS AMAZING!!!!!! *high fives* I think it’s a must-read for any historical fiction lover!!!

So I might not be getting the problem *exactly* correct, but if you’re having a hard time with the pacing of your story, I’m gonna recommend to try plotting it out. Plotting doesn’t have to be all that complicated at all! Basically, there are certain major points that need to happen in every story besides just beginning, middle, and…[Read more]

Also nice profile pic. 😂 *high fives*

AHOY THERE MATEY!!!!!!!

*waves excitedly* It’s SOOO exciting to see you’ve joined the Kingdom, Rylie!!!! *jumps up and down* I am so, so, so, so, so, so, so, sooooo happy you’re here!!!!!!!!! I’ve been like super inactive here lately, but I do hope to get back to hanging on the forum. But I see everyone else has already given you a warm…[Read more]

Ah historical fiction is one of my absolute FAVORITE genres, so I’m more than happy to provide a few recs. 🙂

Within These Lines by Stephanie Morrill. It’s a book set in the USA in World War II about the Japanese internment camps. It’s a really emotional and touching/moving story and I can’t recommend it…[Read more]

Aww THANK YOU!!!! I love yours as well!!!

This might not be the best advice by a long shot, but you seem like you’re REALLY in love with the idea of bringing them back. Like I can just feel how much you love this idea and your excitement to write it. And I guess for me, that’s the best reason to follow through with the idea! It’s your story at the end of the day, and if…[Read more]

AAAAH IT’S SO AWESOME TO SEE YOU HERE DENALI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *waves*  AND YES I HAVE FINALLY FOUND ANOTHER WHO SHARES MY OBSESSIVE LOVE OF MEDIEAVAL WEAPONRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *high fives*

Heya, girl!!! Okay, so I first wanna say I TOTALLY get where you’re coming from!!! When I first started my blog (teenwritersnook.com) I had literally NO ONE read any of my posts for like three-plus months but now (after a year and a half of blogging) my site gets a pretty steady following with 400 visitors a month and…[Read more]

AAAAAH THAT LOOKS AWESOMEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have just SO GOT to read this series even more now! Like enough putting it off, I need to get a copy of these books!

*waves excitedly* WELCOME TO KINGDOM PEN!!!!!!! *sends welcome goodie basket with chocolate, cookies, and books* SO awesome to see you here!! (Also, this has got to be one of the coolest and unique intro posts I’ve ever seen on KP, so you definitely deserve an award for that. ;P)

OoOoOoOOo THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!! I am EXTREMELY stoked for the Reflections released. I just bought my copy of The House That Didn’t End (I know, I know… took me long enough, lol) a couple of weeks ago and CAN NOT wait to dive into it!!!!! I would sign up for an ARC copy but I sadly don’t meet the platform requirements of over 300…[Read more]

To be honest, I’ve never totally gone through this problem. At one time when I first started writing, I did a little bit but I never stuck with a story long enough that it mattered. XD My current series, The Heir Saga, is probably the one book I am the most in love with and is closest to my heart, but after the end of book…[Read more]

AAAAH HEY GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!! *waves and jumps up and down* Welcome to the Kingdom! How’re you enjoying it so far?

YESS!!! I had actually watched two before number one, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen it, so I DEFINITELY need to do a re-watch too.

You’re good. Yes, I did get the email!! Sorry for my late response. The weekend was busy and then school slammed on me right after that, but I plan to be catching up to all my emails this evening. *GASPS*  EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I AM SOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aaaah, YES!!! See?…[Read more]

Of course!!! 🙂

THEY ARE!!!!! I’ve seen one and two. Oooo that’s a hard one. I don’t know if I can pick one. I really LOVED number one because Shane Harper was in it, but then again, I just adored the plotline of number two following the teacher. I don’t think I can pick. XD I’m just gonna say both of them. Which one’s your favorite?

That was a REALLY great example you gave, Anatra!!! (And I LOOOVE God’s Not Dead!!!!)

Okay, so I’m probably just going to repeat what everyone else has already said since I only skimmed a few of the replies. yeah, I’m lazy. 😂

But I TOTALLY get your question. This is something I’ve been wondering about a lot lately actually. And actually, in my novel, Heir to His Crown, there is a rebellion group that my main character…[Read more]

That’s a GREAT question!!! And actually, I’m in desperate need of some help in this area too with my novel. 😅 So I don’t know how much help I’ll be, but a few things I’m trying to remember with my scene (but seriously, if you guys have ANY tips, I need some too) is to (1) see what everyone else is doing and just… don’t do that that…[Read more]

Wait, this is Smoke and Mirrors??? *totally just got a thousand times more excited* YESSS!!!!! I did read a few of the chapters you had posted and was so IN LOVE with it!!!!!!!!! Hahahahaha, I feel you, sista. I’m a die-hard panster who writes a bunch of first draft-filled-rambling nonsense like there’s no tomorrow. 😂 But you keep…[Read more]

Awwwww, Ella, I am SO, SO, SO, SO sorry to hear that. 💔 I had covid over a year ago, so I can DEFINITELY relate (except my school was online, so I somehow managed to be sick with covid and keep up with school all at the same time… don’t ask me how). I just wanted to let you know that (1) you’re not alone and (2) I’ll keep you in my…[Read more]

Oooo I like that one!!!!! THANK YOU for sharing!!!! <3333

I’ve just recently been introduced to urban fantasy, so I haven’t ever read any books, as knowledge serves, that are in that genre. (I believe I heard someone say @e-k-seaver novella The House That Didn’t End was urban fantasy. I *sniffs* sadly haven’t gotten my copy yet, but I think it’ll be REALLY epic!!!)

Anyway, urban fantasy’s…[Read more]

Ooooo I’ve been REALLY wanting to read The Story Peddler!!! It sounds like it’d be SO awesome!!! That’s a great idea!!! ooo I sooo hope it all works out for you. <3333 YES YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!! I’ll keep an eye out for anything that might could be trimmed down if it helps. 🙂

Yes, that’ll definitely work out for me!!!…[Read more]

YES!!!! I LOVE ENCLAVE!!!!!! They are AMAZING!!! In fact, the book I’m currently read The Vault Between Spaces by Chawna Schroeder is…[Read more]

Honestly, I relate to your answer SO much. I am a much more empathetic person because of my writing. I have lived a million lives, so to speak, through stories and I can empathize with other people even if what they are struggling with or going through I’ve never experienced before.

I don’t know if my unexpected benefit from…[Read more]

It IS!!!!

YAAY!!!! Oooo I am SOO glad to hear that. Lol, see? I told ya I am a HUGE fan of the Ascendance Series (Yup, that’s what it’s called.) When I first started blogging, a lot of my readers joked about how I had to mention The False Prince at least once in every post. It was my “signature posting style.” 😂

THAT’S…[Read more]

Hey, I am suuuper sorry for my late response.

THAT IS SO COOL!!!!! But, you have to finish the false prince series! It’s my absolute favorite!! Ooo yes, I can definitely see that!!! I was actually thinking about how similar your story sounded to the false price when you talked about it!!!

YES!!!! I’d love that…[Read more]

Oooooo what a fun idea!!!!!!! (Also, I just LOVE LOVE LOVE your quotes!!!!!!!!)

Alrighty, here’s mine. It’s for my character Keenum in my YA fantasy novel, Heir to His Crown.

If you’re waiting for my blessing, then all I have to say is pray your death comes soon. Then the world would be very blessed indeed.

I’d never ask for mercy fro…

[Read more]

Oooooo, I’m glad you asked!!! Honestly, the first thing I would do is give the character internal questions. Like, if the character is worried about something, show the reader he/she asking the question to him/herself. Like how @scoutfinch180 did in the first two examples Scoutillus gave. Inner monologue can really go a long…[Read more]

AAAAHHH, girl, I LOOOOOVE these quotes you’ve shared!!!!! Especially that impossible one. It’s actually one of my all-time favs!!!! Will definitely try to check back here. 🙂

WELCOME TO THE KINGDOM!!!!!!!!!! *waves excitedly and gives you welcome chocolate* We’re SO excited to have you here!! I’m Issabelle Perry, the quirky teen author who overuses exclamation marks, obsessives over Lord of the Rings and The False Prince by Jennifer Nielsen, and is an unashamed  Skillet fan. First off, LOVE the…[Read more]

Hahaha, that’s funny you should mention that about the antagonist thing cuz my sister and I were just talking recently about how villains are actually not something you have to put in your writing and how even things like nature can be an “antagonist” in stories, like survival fiction!

Anyway, for me, it was long, thorough…[Read more]

*gasp* IS THAT LORELEI I SEE?????!!!!!!!!!!!!! *waves excitedly* Heya, girl!!! SO awesome to see you here!!!! *sends welcome chocolate*

I really just second what everyone else is saying!! For me, it depends a lot on what genre it is and how the story ends. So for a fantasy novel, I’m gonna really highly consider a series since it’s common for the genre, but for my contemporary romance novel I’m writing, I’ve been going back and forth over if I want to do one or not.…[Read more]

Of course, anytime!! 🙂
