Haha 😛 I’m a qualified dog trainer and trained dogs professionally before the pandemic and I’d like to get back into it in a few years, I mostly read animal behaviour books to deepen my knowledge. But I do also like reading them for curiosity’s sake.

Hmm… personally I’m not sure what I would have done different. It seemed to me…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I’ve read mostly nonfiction, animal behaviour books this year which probably isn’t going to be very interesting for ninety nine percent of the KP population 😛 The last fiction book that I read which wasn’t a reread was Wuthering Heights. 

What I liked:

-The Yorkshire moor aesthetic. I love the moors and the general vibe of b…[Read more]

Hey! I’ve never tried using Wix before so I can’t give you any specific advice regarding that, but I have been maintaining a blog for almost 5 years at this point.

As to what you can write about…well, people often suggest just writing about one topic, because that way anyone who stumbles on your blog will immediately know whether or not…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

I love this topic! Thanks for starting it.

Personally, I don’t really plan these things out, so I can only identify my character’s lies after I’ve finished a first draft, sometimes much later (second or third draft). One story I’m just about to start the fourth draft and I’ve only just worked out the lies of the majority of the m…[Read more]

@elfwing I’m glad I made you laugh. And yes, you would be correct 😝

@nova21

This looks so much fun! Thanks for tagging me 🙂 Here’s the first three things the protagonist of my previous WIP, Ilio, says. He’s a sweet, shy, academic boy who also happens to be a werewolf.

1). “Why am I naked?” Hmmm…I promise this makes sense in context.

2). “What has happened to me?”

3). “No.”

Interesting…

@godlyfantasy12

Hello there! Sorry its taken me a while to get back to you 😀

There’s been a lot of good answers to your questions already, so I’ll do my best to give my two cents.

Personally, I write in two genres and my approach to putting God into those stories is different. My main genres are historical and fantasy, and my historical stuff…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Okay!

@rochellaine, @seekjustice, @valtmy, @jennwriter17, @godlyfantasy12, @devastate-lasting, anyone else

I’ll be writing off and on for the next little bit, tag me if you show up! I’d love to chat and maybe word war (haven’t done that in a while)

@kathleenramm

I have a couple of tropes that will have to be pried from cold dead hands. I do like secret identities and I usually have one or two in any given book. But found family is my number one trope, it’s literally in every single book I’ve ever written.

@godlyfantasy12

That’s so frustrating!

Hello everyone! Anyone around? I’m currently writing book reviews and avoiding article writing, and all my other responsibilities. @graciej @abigail-m @jenwriter17 @rochellaine @writerlexi1216 @godlyfantasy12

@writerlexi1216

I think, privacy reasons aside, I would only go for a pen name to disguise the fact that I was a woman, but as a couple of other people have said, that’s less of an issue than it used to be. For example, if I was to write YA that’s a female dominated area of publishing and being labeled as a Chelsea wouldn’t be a bad thing at all.…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

My secret is…that I don’t. I literally don’t, if I can help it *hides in shame*. I’m still trying to think of a name for the city in the last book I drafted. The book I’m currently writing has absolutely no names. The fantasy novel before last has a world literally called the Dreamland (though this has a meaning and significance…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I must say that I go against the grain and like the powerful villains who don’t have sympathetic backstories and are just evil. Jadis is by far one of my favourite villains because she gives me such chills, particularly in The Magician’s Nephew in the city of Charn. Villains like Mother Gothel from Tangled who are powerful and com…[Read more]

@faith-q I can do the alphabet in ASL as well, since it’s very occasionally used over here, but that’s about it! And ASL people sign so fast! Auslan is much slower than ASL is 😀 I also very much relate to your feelings on sign language. I adore it as well! I recently spent a whole weekend at a “voice off” event and it was blissful, I loved it and…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Aw thank you so much! I’m so glad you liked it. That story is probably my favourite work out of everything I’ve written.  I actually entered it in a short story competition several years ago and ended up winning the overall prize. It was published in an anthology, but to be honest I’m not sure what copyright laws apply now so I…[Read more]

@relia

I’m a big believer in Doing Whatever Works For You, however, I’m personally going to go against the grain here and say that for me personally editing a duology together is what works better for me. I’ve written a duology and I’m currently in the process of editing it (or I’m pretending to edit it rather), and for me the best way to do it…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I actually did write a story based on it 😀 a little bit loosely albeit, but here it is if you’d like to read it 😀 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oa-DrOTBmcNVHcn3DZbgjPmYM1qNDuKPzyE_u0AWeaA/edit?usp=sharing
