@dekreel First of all *Bear hugs* -oh wait maybe I should have given you a wolf hug.. uh anyway

I just want to echo what everyone els  has said and tell you you aren’t alone.
Even before I joined kp I’ve compared myself (a lot) to people who I perceive  to be better then me. Writing is no exception. I compare myself to my older sister who is the [Read more]

@valtmy The opening grabs my attention. I felt a good sense of the characters until you introduce Lu Mo and Pan Kun. Then it became harder to remember everyone’s names. I think giving Lu Mo a distinct characteristic that the reader can latch onto would help that. You did this well with Muchen, I thought. I got a visual of him almost immediately.…[Read more]

@ashlyvye Thanks for the tips! 🙂

@dekreel Please don’t feel guilty for having different goals for your writing than other people. It’s fine to write just for fun or as a hobby. Writing with the ambition to be published one day doesn’t make someone’s writing more important than someone who feels the way you do. And God calls everyone to use their time in varying ways, and gives us…[Read more]

@dekreel Well, if it’s just a page of fifteen people saying “Welcome to the bestistest place on the Internet” or whatever, I might skim it.

@aislinn-mollisong  YES I WANT TO DRAW EMBER! WOOHOO!

Ahem, sorry. *sheepish grin*  I’d like to give it a shot 😀

Ohh, unless you want Ari to do it…

@daeus  Ahhh, Oops, my bad X’D

Well, it’s still a good idea XD

@supermonkey42  I’m impressed by you going through all of the archives! Do you read every single post?

@valtmy  Sure! Mind putting it in record/suggest/comment mode for us? 🙂

@daeus  I need to read more! I’m in! Go for it!! 😀

And I agree with @spradlin — a chapter a week. I’m busy

I’m excited for this idea!!

Spradlin — Wait, you’re still here?! I though you left KP! 😀

@rochellaine *sigh* Yes, I have done that. It was, of course, painstakingly tiresome, but it needed to be done.

Your story sounds interesting. Very original. *thinks: Why can’t I come up with ideas like that?* 😉

@supermonkey42 Bye!  Thanks for joining me!

Anyone else still here?

@supermonkey42 Changing from third person to first person in the middle of a story is not the same as changing the name of one of your characters.  That means MAJOR editing work! 😀  You’ve seriously done that?

I have written from several secondary male characters POVs, but never had one as the main character yet.  I’m going to have to learn how…[Read more]

Well, I’m signing off.

Goodnight, KeePers!

@rochellaine Semi-dystopian might work. Although the world’s not falling apart. 😉

To answer your questions:

Third person. Though I have been known to change my mind in the middle of a story. 🙂

The protagonist is a girl. I usually write male protagonists, but this story just felt like it needed a girl.

What’s your his-fic story about?

@supermonkey I guess you could call it semi-dystopian?  Or just simply futuristic?

First person or third person?  Is your protagonist a boy or a girl? 😀  I like asking questions.

@rochellaine A culture-focused time travel story…that sounds like an interesting premise. 😀

Well, the political situation at the time is slightly altered from our present one. It’s what it /could/ be like in a few years. Besides that, the story could be contemporary.

@jenwriter17 I hope so! 🙂 But I’m never sure.

@rochellaine aw, I can’t join you this time! will you be on Monday?

@supermonkey42 I wrote a book like that once.  It was supposed to be a time travel story, but focusing on the different cultures of the time periods, rather than the science of time travel.  The time travel element ended up taking over the book more than I intended…so it’s technically sci-fi now.  😀  But I set the contemporary parts in 202…[Read more]
