@livgiordano It’s pretty rough atm, but the general idea ive stuck with is a boy named Arlo want’s to become an astronaut. Instead, he is submerged into an underwater world/city. And in order to save himself, and even those around him, he has to face the conflict tying him and the antagonist together

@people who care, An update on where my story and I stand, regarding this issue, a conclusion i think.
During this time of uncertainty, I haven’t really worked on my WIP at all. Uninspired to touch it and really couldn’t come up with any new ideas. I thought that if I had to let go of mermaids, I would be dropping the story completely. And I began…[Read more]

I’m personally not the greatest in consistently praying for others, to be honest. But I feel called to support others through prayer more often and so here I am. @epicaddie2 @clairec I will be praying for you guys! @dekreel And for your friend, too. Is she a believer?

@livgiordano Welcome to KP! Ever since I’ve joined this place has been great for me. Happy to have you here! I’m homeschooled as well and my own WIP is a fantasy, as well.

@clairec I could draw one for you if you like. However I will be straightforward and say that I am a little uncomfortable with drawing the same character as another person, so.. maybe try someone else? Sorry. I can if you want me to, but I’ll tag a few artsy people and we’ll see if they’re up for it 🙂

@inkling-for-christ I personally think that being a dreamer is not irrational, as God has given us imaginations and creativity. It isn’t irrational so long as we are in submission.

As for help in creating a male MC, I definitely recommend this KP article

Hello @clairc and welcome back! I am new 🙂

@dragon-snapper I’m glad it’s working out for you! And I think I will have to observe how other people tackle it.

@daeus @mnvalentine Thank you!

@warrioroftherealm The way I see it, it’s more of a trope than a cliche. What makes it cliche is how you use it I think.
As for cliche’s I have noticed I can only think of the fact that the villain always has fire power.

Also, question: Should a website focus more on the author and the person behind it or be a site mostly dedicated to the project alone? I’m guessing its more preference, but I’m curious.

@mnvalentine Yes that makes sense . Thank you!
Especially liked:
“A website or blog put together by an author as a way of platforming should have content for readers, not for other writers.”
“Talk about your story as itself. Don’t compare it to other novels or go on about its good messages and characters and how awesome it is. Just talk about w…[Read more]

@bella-d Welcome to KP! Glad to have you here. 🙂

@radically-surrendered And for the piano, it could be like
The people with a piano are assigned to certain areas, like a village or a post etc. Like they can’t go wherever they want and they are needed in a specific place.

@radically-surrendered That sounds really cool! I would read it. My only advice is if this is an allegory type thing, search the scriptures to be sure all the details align with God’s character and intents 🙂

@rochellaine That sounds good!
As for the picture, Lillian could just be really outdated in the fashion world? XD
In all seriousness, if you’re merely planning on posting the finished story online I don’t many world notice. If this was a published book I feel like you would get your own illustration for it anyway, as the other one probably belongs…[Read more]

or you could look into the moral or temporal standards people had in the 1940s
She could have been sewing a dress and it didn’t turn out right and people think her work is immoral for it, like it isn’t that big of a deal but people gossip about it and think shes a terrible person.
Just something she was doing didn’t go the way it was supposed to…[Read more]
