Jenna Terese started the topic A Questions About Modesty in Writing in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 8 years, 2 months ago
Hi, all! One of my book ideas is about a self-centered pop star turned Christian. One problem I’ve been struggling with was modesty. I want to show the transition from non-believer to Christian not only in how she acts and thinks but how she dresses. The Bible has specific instructions for how girls should dress, and I don’t know how (or if it’s…[Read more]

*cough pretentiously* *unrolls scroll*
Citizens of Kingdom Pen! I have an announcement to make. My efforts to edit my novel Black and White (which a few of you so lovingly offered to beta read) have ended in wrack and ruin and I have put it on the back burner for now.
For anyone who is interested, I now offer a new opportunity. Alpha reader for…[Read more]

I have decided that my Dr Who novella would probably be a lot better in first-person POV, so I have decided to basically rewrite the whole thing. Except I have never written anything in first person before (other th…[Read more]

Joy replied to the topic Would someone please tell me if these first chapters are too depressing? in the forum Novel Critique Requests 8 years, 2 months ago
@his-instrument I love the storyline!
It does sound kind of dark. Maybe you could like spread out the dark a little bit…?
Anyway, sure! I’ll read it. 🙂
Someone who has more experience with plot line might be of more use, though…

introvert_girl replied to the topic How Do I Write a Sad Ending?! in the forum Plotting 8 years, 2 months ago
@jenwriter17 Even if it feels like they’ve lost, I’d still give them some sort of victory, even if it seems really small. A great way to do this, is pretty much what @jane-maree said. If they can grow as a person in some way, I think it will help the ending feel more satisfying. In stories, I personally find internal victories more exciting than…[Read more]

Joy started the topic What IS a Character Arc?? in the forum Plotting 8 years, 2 months ago
@jane-maree @sam-kowal @princessfoo @daeus @seekjustice @jenwriter17 @aratrea
I have seen articles all over Kingdom Pen about how to improve character arcs, but I’m not totally sure what a character arc is! Can someone please explain it?
Thanks! 😉

Joy replied to the topic How Do I Write a Sad Ending?! in the forum Plotting 8 years, 2 months ago
@jenwriter17Â Good question! I think you should leave the story with the characters feeling hopeful, even if it’s just a little hopeful, in the circumstances. You character should be motivated to set her wrongs right, and to improve everyone’s image of her, by saving the queen, or helping to save the queen, or doing her part in any way. If you…[Read more]

Joy replied to the topic Little Story Wants Readers in the forum Short Story Critiques 8 years, 2 months ago
@waterlily The dialogue is hilarious! I like it 🙂 Sorry I didn’t read it sooner.
Let’s see… It makes sense overall, but I think it would make more sense with some tweaks in grammar and “order.” For example, near the beginning, the “Hey” should be attached to the rest of Rufus’ dialogue, and then followed by the description. Or else the…[Read more]

Hey guys, sorry it took me a bit to get back. 😛 Thanks so much for all your feedback, it was so helpful.
I think I might have found a different option though… what do you guys think of Valiant?

Joy started the topic How to Kill Off Without Killing in the forum Plotting 8 years, 3 months ago
I have a little problem. I have so many supporting characters in my KPA, that I had considered killing some of them off (nobly, don’t worry 😉 ). But then I came to my senses and thought, Why would I kill them??
The adventure itself takes place in the Kingdom of Pen, but I also have other places, more specifically, islands. (Aethasia, Araluen,…[Read more]

@daeus yes, that makes sense. Thanks!
@dragon-snapper I have yet to try index cards. I kinda get…scared of them. You know, after putting ALL my school notes on them I decided I don’t get along with them anymore. But it might just be the perfect thing for editing 😉

Do you blog at all?

You totally should! It’s a blast 😀
