Aw, that’s adorable! And yep, you did, which is amazing. 😛

It’s so cool seeing who your fav characters are, peoples. XD

@leon-fleming

Lol! That’s true, I remember that now.

P.S.- are you gonna keep reading? 😛

@leon-fleming

Great Scott, man, but that’s an impossible question! (To quote my character Jordan). I guess Jordan right at this moment, just bc he’s the most developed, but there’s no way I really have a favorite out of the myriads of characters I have! XD

P.S. – Do you have a fav OOTA character thus far? 😛

Also @devestate-lasting, I agree and…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Haha, yes, we did hire him for a reason.XD Oooh, it would be great if you could cook something up! The Kingdom of Pen could always use some fresh poetry.

@leon-fleming

Wow, five years you say? Well, LotR took fifteen years to write, so… maybe that’s a good sign? When it comes to outlining there’s never a very clear set end to it all. You could outline a novel in a day, or in a decade. Just depends on what story your trying to tell and what kind of writer you are.

@gracie-j

I would love to give suggestions/critiques however, I’m an absolute beginner when it comes to poetry. Though I’m sure @leon-fleming will have some advice to give.

But I can say from a consumer perspective, I really enjoyed it! I love the message it has, both it’s meaning and that it wasn’t too in-your-face. It’s a poem that you can…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

The last scene I completed I wrote last night while I was watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. the movie just gave me a burst of inspiration and I wrote a whole scene of a new novel in about 30 minutes.

It was a prologue and it involved the main character finding an evil something in the forest and it introduces all t…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Yes, I feel like I’m in a constant flux of being super motivated to write, and wanting to do anything but write.XD I was recently feeling unmotivated with the story I’m currently writing because all of the ideas where going in circles. But after throwing a crazy wrench into the story my motivation is now back on a high.

Oooh,…[Read more]

@r-m-archer @gracie-j

Of course! I know all about Kindle Direct Publishing, I just can be very thick and didn’t realise that’s what KDP stood for 😛

I know, the quotes are really bugging me too.

@gracie-j

Haha, no worries! I like talking about my books. My main characters are called Mere and Roe and they are based on Jeanne Baret and William…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

For the KP newsletter September story prompt I wrote a poem, but didn’t end up sending it in, since I didn’t have time to perfect it.  It still isn’t perfect, but since there’s no deadline anymore I don’t know if I’ll ever change anything. 😉

Anyway, I thought you might enjoy seeing it since you’ve liked my poems in the past. 😉  A…[Read more]

@gracie-j @r-m-archer

I’m loving all this publishing chatter. Can I ask what KDP is? I’ve been tossing up whether to pursue the self-publishing or trad publishing route and I really haven’t decided yet, so I’m keen to hear about more options.

Also, I would say, I (and a bunch of other trad published authors) wouldn’t recommend going with a…[Read more]

@lewilliams I love your blurb, especially the structure of it. Very nice. I also feel sorry for all of them, especially Arvi, poor boy!

And oh my goodness, A Beginner’s Guide to Villainy sounds exactly like my cup of tea. Also 100% realistic. I know a lot of tertiary students who would become villains just to get their scores up a little. And b…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Thanks! Tell Me No Lies sounds very interesting! 😀 I love murder mysteries and I’ve always wanted to try my hand at one, but I don’t think I have a good enough understanding yet. 🙁 I think the genre is one of if not the hardest to write.

@lewilliams

Haha I’m only writing the kind of stories I wish someone else has already writt…[Read more]

Wow! I’m glad people have been really enjoying this thread 🙂 Makes me happy!

@r-m-archer I’ve read about your Calligraphy Guild novel on your website, it honestly looks so awesome and I’m intrigued by the whole “magic ink rewriting the past” concept. I hope it goes well! And I’m sure there’s heaps you can do to revitalise your old novel, best of…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I like mysteries, but I get tired of them if they’re too often murders.  I can watch or read a few murder mysteries, but I’d prefer robberies and kidnappings or other crimes in between to make it less gruesome.

I like puppies, but dogs aren’t my favorite. 😉  They can be really sweet, I’m just not crazy about the way they slobber a…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I completely missed the last bit of your question. I have actually! My first finished novel was about otters. It was sort of Redwall inspired, if you’ve heard of that series. Basically anthropomorphic otters.

@rochellaine

Now I’m watching a BBC murder mystery, still in the blanket, eating lunch, and still pretending to work on my articles, which I am not 😀

Yes, puppies are very cute! At least to look at, I’m not a huge fan of puppies in real life (gasp). I think baby elephants are extraordinarily cute.

@seekjustice

Sitting curled up in blankets and procrastinating honestly sounds awesome. 😀

What kind of baby animals do you think are the cutest?  I’m guessing one of your top picks will be puppies, so how about top two? 😉

Have you ever written a story with an animal as a main or important character?

@rochellaine

I definitely get you on the tired. I’m having a very tired day and just sitting curled up in blankets, procrastinating on my editing that needs to be done.

Oh that’s so cute! Everyone around here is having lambs and calves at the moment and it makes me so happy watching them frolicking around 🙂 🙂
