Jess

@anne-swiftblade, Well, my name is Jessica… so Tessica… yeah. (Especially since I sometimes go by Jess. :)) I’m thinking I’ll use Tessa. 🙂

Thanks @mark-kamibaya. 🙂 You should write a book on how to write a novel. You would be good at it. 😉 And yes, this writer is a big pantser. (which is really strange because I always plan things out in “real” life)

I agree @hope. I feel like everything has been used already. I do like the idea of some government. (I’m thinking that instead of the typical overthrow, they reconcile in some exciting, entertaining way.) 🙂

@emma-flournoy, no there are more kids, the 5 are just going to be the main ones in the story. I’m coming up with ideas for all the kids that got abilities to meet each other. A shape shifter would be cool (maybe instead of electricity), and there was one in the Percy Jackson books. (2nd series, which I wouldn’t recommend. @julia-r) I’m thinking…[Read more]

Anyone want to write? I’ll be writing for at least 40 minutes, if anyone wants to join me. @dragon-snapper, @bluejay, @overcomer, @clairec, @gretald, @anyone else

@dragon-snapper, Characters. *the unicorn snorts in frustration* All of my ideas are being used!!! @julia-r (in characters, names, worlds, genres…) Well, I’ll just have to make mine better. Now about doing that…

@julia-r, I LOVE the Giver! I’m desperately trying to keep out the Incredibles, the Giver, and Divergent. *yells at ideas, MY Book! My characters! Stay in your own book!*

@emma-flournoy, Whoops, sorry. I thought that was explained better. There isn’t only five kids. Those are the main characters. They each have one power. I’m not sure how, but either the kids will be told by their parents(s) or realize on their own that they are different. Some of the original testers were able to hide in the cities and so the…[Read more]

@anna-brie, well since my target audience is more sci-fi/dystopian, I’m good with that. 🙂
I love your idea! (The first one.) I don’t think twins would exactly work for this one…

Hi! I’m back again. Thanks for the feedback everyone. I think I have the background info now. What do you think? I’m trying to make it not cliche-ish. 🙂 Thanks a billion! 🙂 🙂 🙂 @emma-flournoy @hope @bluejay @julia-r @overcomer @anne-swiftblade @mark-kamibaya @dragon-snapper

A long time away in a galaxy- just kidding. 300 years…[Read more]

@bluejay Shoot! One name in two kingdom series. I was thinking of a different series. My story is set in the future-like one hundred years. *Racks brain for different names* I originally liked Tess, but realized that was in the Kingdom series too.
@julia-r, I forgot to reply last time. of course you can read it, but let me get a few chapter…[Read more]

Alexa or Alexis?

@julia-r, @emma-flournoy, I liked Dalton too. Only thing is, I realized he is a minor character in the five kingdoms series. So hard to find names that aren’t taken. Hazel was in Percy Jackson. I might still use Dalton. ..

@emma-flournoy, I liked Jax, so I’ll keep that. Do you by chance like Dalton (boy) or Hazel (girl)?

@dragon-snapper Dragons are so much more cooler than leprechauns too!

Wow, everyone. Thanks for all the ideas. I think I can come up with something…

Why are both of Jaxes parents missing? Is he the main character? Is he more important than the others? Is he the key to unraveling a mystery, possibly the mystery of the missing parents?

@anne-swiftblade, So I was thinking that one parent was switched over to the…[Read more]

Did anyone else like the sound Bilbo’s door bell makes? “ding-dong-a-ling-dang” (The most philosophical question ever) I love the whole older MC thing. It seems like all the books these days have teenage characters, but even though Bilbo is 50, the story is still a hit with all ages.

@overcomer, thanks, more to mull over. *sighs* I like the secret rebellion one… But then I still have to figure out the parents thing. Maybe they attempted something similar, but were imprisoned… But why would they have superpowers? *growls* I can’t sleep well when I’m thinking about plot ideas. (anyone else like that?) What do you think…[Read more]

@overcomer, so true. (Editing is probably the worst thing about writing, you can’t just write once and be done with it!) (I don’t care if that is an improper use of a comma either.) 😛

@overcomer, how did ya do? I was trying to plot a book. Can you help me out and hop over to https://kingdompen.org/forums/topic/plot-help-please/ to add your most valued thoughts? 🙂
