Hi! And welcome to the KP forum! I’m Kathleen and about a year younger than you and am a part of the KP team.

Congrats on making it to the final stretch of your novel! So many of my WIPs die out before they ever get close to the climax. Your premise is really interesting and definitely a book I’d want to read. Sci-fi has always…[Read more]

Ooo, can I join?

Would your character rather give money to a random charity or to their crazy uncle (or whatever relative they have that’s crazy)?

Isa:  random charity

Sawyer:  crazy uncle

My question:

Would your character rather choose all the rooms in their own castle (spa, workout room, etc.), or would they rather all the rooms in the…[Read more]

@alia It’s setting the chapter/book up to dramatic and mysterious, so I think as long as you follow through on the promise very quickly, it’s all good!

@kathleenramm

First of all, I completely agree about MacGuffins. They’re not bad, after all, I would argue that LOTR is a reverse-MacGuffin-quest-thing, but they’re often lazy.

Secondly! My worst mistake? I don’t know exactly, but a lot of my early stories and novels suffered from far too many main characters and subplots connected to those…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Man, I could use some of your confidence. XD I usually have the opposite problem. I sometimes get so down about my writing abilities that it discourages me from writing.

@gracie-j

Well, out of all the mistakes to make, jumping into to writing super early isn’t a bad one to do! At least starting before ready is better than not…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Thanks!

As the smoke gathered around their feet, they were gone–all disappeared except him.  

Ooo, can I join?!?!!!

She stood five feet away from where I was hidden in the shadows, staring at the screen where the greatest secret of humankind was displayed:  Your life is a lie.

What’s next??   I love it!!!!!!!  It’s not over the top at all.  Great job, I hope there’s more…

@lewilliams

Although I only play video games once maybe twice a week I fully agree that they can be really great at sparking creativity. I was actually thinking of writing a story based on one of my favorite video games. The great thing about video game stories is that they’re usually never fully fleshed out or explored so there is a lot of…[Read more]

I think I’m going to switch it up and answer these questions from my villain’s perspective. Bwaahahah! This’ll be fun.

@devastate-lasting

Would your character rather be tickled or chased?

Kai would rather be chased. It’s part of his daily routine already.

Would your character rather eat really spicy things or really bitter things?

He seems…[Read more]

@alia

Coming from someone who has read quite a few “over the top” beginnings to novels, this is great!

If you’re worried that it’s too over-dramatic, just make sure what happens next fully follows through with the drama you’re alluding to.

Or not. I have to get off now

I’ll be around for about 30 more minutes if I don’t get distracted by too much Tchaikovsky

@lewilliams, yours made me laugh

@e-k-seaver

Somehow life wouldn’t be quite the same after all, even though no one would remember.

@anyone interested

@jenwriter17, maybe for another hour, then my day gets pretty busy

@rochellaine, @seekjustice, @jenwriter17, @valtmy, @catwing, @dekreel, and anyone else

I am working on my 2nd draft if anyone wants to come chat for a bit

I meant I’m not writing

@rochellaine,

you still around? I’m writing right now but could chat for a bit
