Sorry it took me a while to get here. I’ve been crazy busy with writing. 🙂 Anyway, I’ve not read a whole lot in the mystery genre, but I say a big area needed to have an amazing mystery would be to keep the reader’s guessing and at the end when the “villain” or whatever is revealed it’d be someone I wasn’t expecting but I could go back…[Read more]

I definitely recommend reading the other three books. Each one is better than the previous.
I’ve been wanting  to read And Then There Were None for years now, but still have not got past the first couple chapters. I think it’s because I got a little overwhelmed with all the characters, but of course, if I just continued r…[Read more]

@gracie-j @godlyfantasy12 @devastate-lasting
Whoa! These all look awesome! It’s inspiring me to make some story photo collages. It’ll be something to motivate me to get my homework done. XD

I’ve taken the test multiple times, but like @devastate-lasting I always get a different answer. My “personality” drastically changes depending on the day and my mood, and who I’m around. Sooo, yeah. XD But my favorite genres to write in are fantasy, contemporary, crime, and sometimes sci-fi.

I am an ENXP. The X is because I’m borderline F and T. I heard that most writers are introverts, but I’m eager to see what we find here.

Haha! What’s your personality type (if you don’t mind me asking 😄)? I also do it for my characters–Seia is an Architect, INTJ, I believe…?

I’ll definitely have to read that one first then:)

Kathleen replied to the topic What Makes a Mystery? in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 8 months ago
You may now rest assured as mystery is now a sub-category under writing genres! Now looking at it there are still quite a few genres missing. So if there are any other genres that anybody wants, Â just let me know and I’ll get on that posthaste.
When I was little I loved to read the classic Nancy Drew books, and also the A-Z Mysteries…[Read more]

Ooooh, my favorite character??? HOW can I choose!! XD I guess I’ll talk about my latest one, Keenum!! He’s a prince of a country that was overthrown when he was seven. But now as a sixteen-year-old boy everyone is expecting him to take back his kingdom. What I love most about him is his inner struggles and conflict. How he wants to do the…[Read more]

(Btw, I think in my WIP’s MC’s thoughts all the time too. Sometimes, I literally write my characters’ whole letters. I think it’s just one of those things that come from being a writer:)

I’m so sorry, I completely forgot you asked to post the collages on your blog!!!  Go ahead, use it however you want!!  It’s only a hobby, I honestly don’t care who you credit it to. 😉
thanks!!

I have seen Agatha Christie’s titles on bookstore shelves before, but I definitely should read one. I have a copy of Sherlock Holmes on my shelf but haven’t read it yet.
Thank you for the recommendation:)

Hey! Welcome to the
coffee aficionadoKingdom Pen Forum!Have you read all 600 books you own? If so, that’s really impressive! I would like to say the same for myself, but I’m afraid my number is far below that. XD
What are some of your all-time favorite books?

Thank you!
I don’t know what to do with my short story just yet. It is set at ‘EverHappens,’ a small town stable. Fox is the other MC, who is recovering from a trick riding accident on a colicking horse, that she has always blamed herself for.
EverHappens is a romance/horse story, that revolves around the Fox and Adrain’s rivalry and…[Read more] -

I haven’t read The Maze Runner series, but I have heard long rants from my siblings about the trilogy. XD They are quite notorious in my household.

Abigail.M. replied to the topic What Makes a Mystery? in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 8 months ago
I don’t usually read them. But from the ones I have read, I believe one of the things that make good mysteries is when there are no apparent clues shown in the beginning and don’t reveal all the secrets in the following chapters. Every time, I knew how the mystery would end before I was halfway through the book… which, now come to think of it,…[Read more]
