MY BABYYYYYYYYYYYYY…
I don’t think I’ll get tired of reading about him any time soon… 😉
1. Definitely! I thought the contrast between the visible and invisible blood on his hands was particularly powerful.
2. Yes. @elishavet-pidyon made a phenomenal point: the fact that Ryker believes his trembling is because of…[Read more]

Totally been there!!! Honestly, I think Jodi’s advice is perfect! I don’t know if I can add anything of worth to that besides a lot of well-wishes! Go get ’em, girl! <3333

Many of my characters from the trilogy deal with those same things! Especially Simon the Zealot. At this point, I think I’m as old as James and John would have been… But since I’m not a guy, all of my MCs are men, and I’m dealing with the greatest story ever told, I feel like I need to hold off for a while. I need a guy’s brain…[Read more]

Katherine replied to the topic Really struggling with opening chapters… in the forum Plotting 2 years, 4 months ago
@joy-caroline Yes, definitely! My opening chapters often feel flat. I write things that happen to the characters and that I think are important, only to figure out later that it wasn’t really important or added anything to the overall story. Sometimes my opening chapters drag on, and I decide that I need to move into the plot quicker or make the…[Read more]

You’re good!!! If anyone understands how busy life gets, it’s me. XD
Aww, I completely agree with your top three when it comes to your characters! Ryker is my favorite, but I love Ezra and Leon, too. When it comes to my characters, it’s a bit complicated. XD For an individual WIP, a nameless retelling of the story of David, the…[Read more]

POOR ELIAS! AND RYKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AGHHHHH, MY POOR BOI…

I only got to see the video recording of Jesus, too. We have friends who saw the show in theater, and they RAVED about it! Alas, I didn’t even know that the Theater existed when that show was playing!
I agree. All of the songs are amazing! The crew at S&S is so talented at choosing just the right words, melodies, instruments,…[Read more]

Lydia S. replied to the topic Putting a Character where you live? XD in the forum Characters 2 years, 4 months ago
I’ve done something kinda like that! One of my MCs in a contemporary novel I started a while back was from a city in my (rather distant) area, but she moved from my state to WV, where the story was set. 😀

MY DARLING BABY BOY, I’M SO HAPPY FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!! *ahem* And yes, Leon, I’m happy for you, too.
I’m very intrigued by this Ezra character! He sounds awesome. 😀 And I love Hans’s mood board! He sounds despicable (how dare he touch a hair on Ryker’s head), but the quotes you chose for him are perfect for such a…[Read more]

Ofc! 😉
Aww, thanky! Darius is my baby, and I love him. 🙂 He’s based on King Saul. He’s kind of difficult to write for… But he’s the best, anyway. 😛

lol Yes, I know exactly what you mean! It’s so encouraging when your writing affects your readers emotionally.
Grimm’s Fanclub??? I’m a part of that one, too! I love him so much… Poor lil’ guy… :'(
Haha, yes, you’re so right! XD
AND I’M TOTALLY SIGNING THAT SHEET!!!! XDXDXD *uses a permanent marker to add name*

Oooo, KP merch? Yes, please!
I usually gravitate towards t-shirts and hoodies when I’m looking at merch, but travel mugs/water bottles and stickers are fun, too. 🙂 As for monotone vs. colorful, I like both, and I also like text and graphic designs (my favorite designs are those that have both). I’m neutral when it comes to animal…[Read more]

I DIED. I COMPLETELY AND OFFICIALLY DIED. I ALSO HAVE A NEW FANDOM, AND I’M NOT EVEN SORRY.

BEAUTIFUL!!! I love it. XD Working with characters and storylines like these is difficult, but you’re doing an amazing job!
Leon reminds me a lot of a character I’m writing for, actually. They both feel a divide between themselves and God (Though my character kind of did it to himself… Plus, he’s mentally unstable/descending…[Read more]

Yes, we did!!! I won’t torture you with a rant about it. 😉 All I’ll say is that it’s my favorite show they’ve done yet. It even beat Jesus, which I assumed was impossible! Plus, we met the actor who plays John (in Jesus) and Joab (in David); that was pretty cool. XD
Do you have a favorite song from the soundtrack? I think…[Read more]

Heyyy what’s up?? Thank you for bringing me back here haha I haven’t been on kp in forever. Writing is ok, but I’ve not been super productive with summer jobs and friends and stuff u know? I tried to do camp nano but it wasn’t really possible, plus im not super inspired recently. I’ve been reading a lot recently! Maybe I should try a new genre.&#x…[Read more]
I totally get it!!! That’s been my life for the past year-ish, haha. But, hey, it’s good practice at adulting. 😉 😛
Aww, the inspiration will come flooding back soon, and you’ll be a best-selling author in no time!!! 😀
Writing-wise, I’ve been mainly brain-dumping for some of my biblical fiction ideas. I’m really enjoying it! I got accepted into…[Read more]
