I totally agree with you. It’s definitely one of my favorite subplots in stories.

@issawriter7 and @anyonewhoneedsabitofwriterlyinspiration/motivation

My motivation comes from a variety of things. From the intricate designs of nature to little ideas and words I collect in my Writing Journals to the thought that I really can make a change in the world with my work. And of course, Christ. He inspires my work to be worthwhile, by…[Read more]

@GodlyFantasy12

I didn’t see your post, but from the responses, it sounds like you have troubles with scenes sometimes turning our blurry or just not moving along. If I’m wrong, you can ignore the rest of this message.

Whenever my scene is stuck I ask myself, “what is this scene exposed to do?” “What’s its job or place in the story?” If it’s…[Read more]

Hi and welcome to Kingdom Pen!
I’m pretty new too, but it’s been awesome here!

That is so cool that your writing a graphic novel. Sadly, the only ones I’ve ever read was the re-making of Anna Sewell’s Black Beauty and also Svetlana Chmakova’s Brave.

If you like swashbuckling kind of tales, Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson’s Peter and…[Read more]

@GodlyFantasy12

First if it’s certain scenes you’re having a hard time with there’s something I learned that has helped me A LOT! When I come across a certain scene I don’t know how to write or I’m not certain what’s gonna be the filler scene from point A to A.5 I’ll just write something like “something awesome goes here” and get to the part I do…[Read more]

Hello there! I’m Chelsea R.H., or SeekJustice and its lovely to see you here! Who are some of your favourite authors and do you have any pets?

@nova21

Thank you for your advice:) I have done NaNoWriMo, but the quiz looks interesting, I appreciate you bringing that up, it definitely helps!

@godlyfantasy12

Thank you so much for your advice and encouragement, I really appreciate it:) I should get back into my reading habit, I had put it off for a little while, but yes, reading does help writing immensely. And you are right, music is absolutely one of the best fuels for writing.

@seekjustice

Thank you!

I’m neither person for the most part. I had planned on drinking coffee during NaNoWriMo, but surprised myself by making it through the first draft without it:)

As for pets, I have three cats, a few chickens, and a horse (I live on a farm), so pets were kind of inevitable:)

@abigail-m

Hey there! How are you doing? I’m Chelsea R.H. aka SeekJustice 😀 Congratulations on getting your first draft done and good luck with your second draft!

And now for my obligatory questions…are you more of a tea or a coffee person? Or neither? and do you have any pets?

@larchness

Hello there! I’m Chelsea R.H., otherwise known as SeekJustice!

I really enjoy history and would have loved the chance to study it (weirdly enough, I went the dog training/disbility care route). What are your favourite periods/things to study?

Ooh, I have so many fantasy recommendations! What are your preferences (subgenres, YA,…[Read more]

@abigail-m

I don’t know if you’ve ever done NaNoWriMo, but for NaNo Prep, they give a list of different plot structures for planners, pantsers, and everyone in between.  The link below is a short quiz which will give the results for the best plot structure for you.  Hopefully it helps!!  &#…[Read more]

@larchness

Welcome to the forum! It’s so awesome to have you here on this fine morning in the Kingdom of Pen.

I’m so happy you like the articles! All of the authors are simply fans and volunteers of Kingdom Pen sharing their experience and lessons they’ve learned from writing. Which is I think why it feels so special.

Oooh, I love graphic…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

Thank you for your advice, it wasn’t confusing at all and it actually helped me see my plot in a new light! Especially about ‘what ifs.’ I have heard about using that to come up with ideas, but never really thought of it that way before. And that is a great idea, having the love interest actually affect my MC’s goals and being…[Read more]

@KingdomPenWriters.

I’m almost ready to start the second draft of my novel entitled ‘The Snow Warrior’ and (sad but true) after fifty thousand words of writing, I still don’t have a plot. I can’t figure out what my MC’s overall goal is. I mean, I have plenty of subplots, supporting characters, villains, animals, themes, symbols, backstories,…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Your book sounds awesome. It sounds like something I just read on the back of a dust jacket at the book store!

@joy-caroline

Your story sounds BEAUTIFUL!!!!!  Amazing work, coming up with it and sticking with it to the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
