First item for business, that is an amazing profile portrait! Second item is that I am SO sorry for how late I am in welcoming you to Kingdom Pen, (though if you read everyone’s welcome page, I’m late on everything this month I think XD ). But anyhow… I’m not sure if these questions have been asked before and please ignore them if you d…[Read more]

@ariel-f

I’m going to have to apologize profusely for being so late in welcoming you to Kingdom Pen! *Facepalms*
Anywho it is AMAZING to have you here Ariel!! And *high fives* I’m also a  100% horse/wolf/hiking/reading/writing fan! 😀 You listen to For King And Country too? That is one of my favorites! Which is your favorite song by them? I have…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Of course! 😀
Yes, NaNoWriMo can really soak up time even though it’s 1,667 words a day. #oofthatsoundslikeachallengeIcanimagine

#bestofwriterlywisheswithyourwriting:)

( XD I’m starting to realize how much fun hashtags are).

@devastate-lasting

That’s really smart! Because some weeks are so much different than others, so there’s no point to being disappointed that you didn’t write a much as some other week, especially if there is just so much going on.

@jodi-maile

I know right! I love that you don’t have to be fully committed to the long process of writing a full…[Read more]

This thread has been really fun to read! Sadly, I’ve never written a proposal scene before and I am not likely to write one any time soon 🙁 Only one pair of my characters canonically get married and its technically after the story ends. Maybe I could add in a…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Thank you for telling me:) *puts three on list to watch* I am definitely going to!:D

@gracie-j

During drafting that sounds a lot like me, 500 words an hour:)
What keeps me from overthinking? Pretty much the thought that I still have many more drafts to go, so that frees my rein and permits me the fun of messing things up and not worrying about it too much. That and deadlines to keep the words flowing and having other…[Read more]

@gracie-j

I’ve never watched Pirates of the Caribbean, but I’ve been wanting to and wait, the characters get married during a fight? I think I saw the fight during a trailer… was it on a ship and they were being attacked by- I’m not sure what they were actually and were in the middle of a storm? Either way, I have seriously got to see this movie!

@lydia-s

Thank you for tagging me Lydia!

Well, my MCs are always between the 15-17 age range and I have a tendency to make romances very, very, very difficult for them. The proposals I’ve, like you said, gone over for weeks in my head (I love doing that with scenes btw:) will never make it into the writing itself except for maybe a separate doc…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

Don’t worry about it!:) That happens to me all the time when trying to edit a post XD
I’m so ecstatic to hear that the tips were so helpful!! 😀

@writerlexi1216

A few times? I take my hat off to you then because it took me much longer than that to figure it out and I had the whole novel’s knowledge behind me XD But yeah, I’ve been enjoying the series (even if I’m enjoying it out of order), and tbh the only reason I’m getting any reading done is because my dog gets me up at about v…[Read more]

@gracie-j
I average around 500 to 700 words an hour so that’s not much different. And I’m a perfectionist too, so all I can think about right now is how terrible my WIP is. Not to mention my WIP is SO unorganized that it’s killing me!😬 I’m trying to remind myself, though, that I can edit and fix it all later, but it’s so hard!

How long does it…

@gracie-j

Hehehehe.. well, my friend, you’ve come to the right girl. XD 😉 okay, maybe not really.

Well, I’m just gonna start with answering your questions.

~Well, first off, that’s just really really REALLY hard for me, but it honestly takes me reminding myself over and over and over and OVER again that I’ll come back and edit later, I…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Oh my goodness, that is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!😍 I LOVE it!!!!!!!😃😃 Thank you SO SO much for making it for me!!!!!! You did a fantastic job and I love the pictures you chose!!!!!! Eeekk, I’m so happy now!!!!!! Thank you, JC!!!!!!!😃💗😃💗

@elanor

It’s really cool how you world build! Unfortunately, it’s something I lack a lot when it comes to writing. I’m getting better at is as I go along, but I tend to just focus on everything about characters, metaphors, theme, and all the philosophical stuff of the story. XD Though I absolutely love stories with immersive and complex…[Read more]

@ariel-f

Cool! I’ve heard a lot about For King and Country.

Very harsh indeed! But also so interesting. How to you go about writing a story? Like, how do you go from an idea to a finished novel? I’d love to hear you process.

Well, I had two picture you could use, but they keep disappearing every time I try to put them in . . .

@joy-caroline (My message disappeared again. So, not sure if you got it, I’ll just type it again.)

I’m so excited!!!!! 😀 (Haha, that’s alright! 😉 I went to bed last night right after I had sent my last comment.)

My character’s name is Princess Rosalie. She’s quiet–a good leader–cares about her people–learning to love those who hate her.…[Read more]
