I wont say I toldya so :p haha.

@mariposa Wow! You are really good with colored pencils! 😀

@dekreel, As I said in the first post, I don’t write fantasy.  🙂  I go for the classic and the realistic, not the fantastical and grotesque.  But then, that’s why I put the names out, right?  So people could use them in ways I couldn’t!

@dekreel, Ohhh, I don’t know!  If she’s a person, probably.  If she’s a normal animal like fox or tiger, probably again.  If she’s a strange creature with a lizard’s body, a cat’s legs, and a peacock tail – probably not!  🙂  But I don’t care what you use it for, I just care what my own impressions of her are.

@rochellaine  Again, I have NO idea who she will be. She might be human, she might be creature……… *shrug*

Would you WANT me to tell you who she is?

@itisastarrynight Wonderful!  Actually, I like sci-fi better than fantasy, so I do think your updated plot sounds more cool.  🙂

You do illustrations yourself?

@dekreel Hooray for Kethra! 🙂

But I’m kind of worried that you’ll tell me who she’ll be, since I picture her as a person, but someone who likes to draw strange looking creatures might end up turning her into one…

Am I right? Or does Kethra have a chance of surviving in the human world? 🙂

@aratrea  I don’t remember right off the top if a whole thread disappears or not. If it doesn’t disappear, it would probably be on the topic list, but I think the topic itself would be completely empty.

I do remember that I had to create a completely new thread the last time it happened

@rochellaine  I am actually strongly considering using Kethra in future stories 😀  I have NO idea who she will be or what story she’ll be in yet

@clairec Thanks for the welcome! Y’all make me feel so at home, and I love it. 🙂

@jenwriter17 Thank you! I was really excited and surprised that I was in the newsletter. 😉 Yes, writing has definitely made much more of an observer. I love it.

@emilyd Oh cool! I love an Australian accent. 😉 I’m not really into mystery, so not many. XD When I…[Read more]

@itisastarrynight Please do use them, and please do tell us if you do! 🙂

@waterlily I love Kirlas!  She sounds like a strong but sweet girl.  I’ve been imagining her with brown hair and green eyes, but is that totally different from how she will be in – um – unreal life? 🙂  Let me know a teeny bit about your story, because I feel like a mo…[Read more]

@livgiordano Aaah! Just saw your writing advice got into a KP newsletter!!! Congratulations! 😁I like the idea about an ‘idea jar.’ I love to observe my surroundings too. I notice more of the little things since I became a writer.

@perfectfifths  Glad I could help 😉 XD

@inkling-for-christ Um…

Maybe there’s an inspector or someone who discovers the MC’s “problems” and takes him away to a special school for nonconformists. Then he could meet other people like him, or maybe he meets an engineer-in-training who has a wild imagination (which made him also a nonconformist.) He could teach the engineer how to drea…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer AND a fangirl/fanboy when you include names, cameos and/or easter eggs in your stories of things you love

*blinks away heart eyes….*

@atisastarrynight I personally love flashbacks, and I think they can be great if done well. I’m thinking of a certain person who is really good at doing this, but isn’t on KP, unfortunately. 🙁

But yes, have something trigger a memory. Keep it short. You definitely don’t have to info dump. Just let your character remember something, but not all…[Read more]

@itisastarrynight Okay, thanks! Did you have any thoughts on #6? I posted that one later on.
