Hi so um, sorry if this isn’t the place to say this, feel free to direct me to another topic if needed, but I would like to join the character castle at some point, I would love to write a little more and develop some of my characters and I’ve been eyeing this topic several times haha. If it’s too full right now I can wait.

And a drawing

This looks fun! Let me try…

Ooo I’m curious to see some of your work 😀

Yeah I have a lot of the same hobbies hahah. The life of a creative amiright?
I love the Wingfeather Saga!! Always good to find another fan.

Hlo! I’m not currently working on comics but I’ve done a little bit of it in the past. By “WIP”s I don’t mean stories, I literally mean “art pieces that are Works In Progress” haha. But I do draw in a cartoon sort of style.

What do y’all enjoy doing? What are you writing? I’m curious to hear 😀

@freedomwriter76 You name sounds vaguely familiar, maybe we’ve met… but anyway hello, I’m Joy, I’m a writing-appreciator if anything. I’ve hung around writers for long enough to really appreciate the work that goes into the medium, lots of respect for you guys… I don’t quite have the braincells to do it myself usually haha. I still like making…[Read more]

Oh hello, it’s been a while……..

I’m not sure most of you know who I am but I was on KP a lot years ago. I’ve kind of moved on from writing for the most part so I’m not on as much but it’s so great to see that people are still here and hanging out and writing stuff together! 😀 How’s it been?

Also can someone tell me who did the art for the…[Read more]

@wilder-w So exciting! Here are some of the most important things in my opinion for promoting your book: 1) a website, 2) a newsletter/email list, 3) social media.

Think of your website as your “home base.” This is where you want to direct more traffic to, because there people will learn more about your book/whatever you’re selling, how to buy it…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Something I try to remember when I’m working on side characters is that they are the main character of their own story. Even if they don’t have a POV in the story, they will have their own values, goals, motives, etc. in the story. I love working on their backstory, because it’s usually then that I discover their internal conflict…[Read more]

@abigail-m

So sorry to hear that! Praying!

@godlyfantasy12

I used to totally pants my first drafts. Now I find it more helpful to make a plot outline and scene outlines before I get writing, but I still give myself the freedom to deviate from that outline if I feel like it. That’s just me though. 🙂

I’ve never been part of the Author Conservatory, but I’ve heard a ton of good things about it 🙂

@e-k-seaver

So exciting! 😀 I’m pretty sure I signed up, but if you don’t see my name on the list let me know and I’ll definitely sign up for this 😉

@calidris
YES the Haikyuu writers made you care for every team! But Karasuno is my fave, and Hinata my favorite character (but Tanaka and Nishinoya are hilarious too) 🙂

ooh awesome an anime thread! 😀 My favorite anime are The Promised Neverland (always makes me cry) and Haikyuu (cinnamon roll characters <3)

@joy-caroline

That’s so exciting! 😀 I’d definitely recommend figuring out how you want the whole series to end. Ask yourself, at the end of the last book, what do things look like? Where are the characters? What has been resolved? What hasn’t? In regards to plot and character arcs, think of the series as a whole one big character arc, or one big…[Read more]
