What do you do when you hit a road-block in your story?
There are usually two things I do.The first thing that helps me the most is talking about it with my siblings. Talking about it and brainstorming ideas together is probably the most helpful thing to me.
However, there are the times when either my siblings have absolutely no interest in…[Read more]

Hey! Welcome to the forum! Sorry for being a tad-bit late, but transporting 13,794 balloons to this party was a bit trickier than my grandfather told me.
Ah! I also brought some cherry soda if you’d like any. It’s not the best cherry soda in the world, (that requires a plane ticket to North Carolina and a…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin
A Party sounds spectacular. I’ve gone to quite a few parties in my life time, and by many I mean two. Both of which involved burnt cookies and awkward conversations with people who were in the weird gray area between friend and acquaintance.
I’ll bring bottled cherry soda, gift them with the opportunity to choose…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic What's your favorite Backstory? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 10 months ago
I love characters that you can’t tell whether to trust or run the opposite direction from. XD And Lord Rodolpho Greco sounds like one of those characters.
I haven’t heard of The River of Time series before, did you enjoy it?
I just watched ATLA a few months ago because my younger brother recommended it, and it’s so fun! (Especially if…[Read more]

That totally makes sense! I too like more complex characters over simple ones.

*gasps* how did you find the Secret Formula to becoming popular of the Kingdom Pen forum???
I thought for sure hiding under the floor boards would keep it safe… Horatio didn’t leak it out to the public again did he?
When he gets back from his hot-air balloon trip, I’m definitely going to have to have a word with him.

I don’t think I’ve heard of the Casson Family series before, but from the little you said about it, it sounds really interesting. Do you have a favorite book and character from the series?

Ah yes. Character who have the same hair color as you. A topic, I fear, is frankly not discussed enough!
Although I have never been a blonde hair user as yourself, (I’m a brunette you see), I understand your struggle to relate to characters whose hair color doesn’t match yours.
Like when I read about a blonde…[Read more]

“What’s your favorite Backstory?”
I’m going to risk sounding like a broken record and say Zuko from ATLA.(I seriously need to expand my consumption of fiction so I can find a new favorite and use something else as answers.)
I really love backstories that have direct consequences on the main plot and also help you understand why the character…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic What's your favorite type of villain? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 10 months ago
As much as I love complex backstories, I totally understand what you mean by big-bad-powerful villains. They feel so strong and powerful like if they say they rule the world, you’d believe it.
Because they are so much more memorable. And it forces the protagonist to grow and become stronger to defeat them.
I love what…[Read more]

So much yes on character who don’t feel like they were solely made for the plot! Those are my favorite kind characters whether they are a villains or any other type of character.

What’s your favorite type of antagonist? Dark lord, mastermind, monster, criminal, etc.
My favorite is the reflection villain.A villain who is one, personally connected in some way with the main character, and who has a lot of similarities with the main character.
Like the villain is the image of what would happen to the main character they…[Read more]

Such a sweet story! It’s kinda cool how something that can be such a hassle for one person can be a dream come true for another.
He sounds like such a cool character!

Oh, wow. What kind of car was that? If you do end up writing this into a story I bet you could make up some really cool explanation, like… alien car, fairy car, super-high-tech-rich-guy’s car, I don’t know. XD
But I can imagine it being a really fun scene.
Haha! It would would be really fun to write about a…[Read more]

Camille can make you spill all your secrets and publish them? Woah, she’s on a another level. Not necessarily a higher one but definitely a different one. XD
It’s cool how you modeled Tess after yourself! It would be very interesting going to brunch with someone very similar to yourself.
