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.

@elanor

Hi! It’s awesome to have you! I’m Kathleen, and I totally understand the struggle of getting the story in your head out some what readable on paper. XD But shifting my focus on the characters and writing the story from their eyes and mind always helps me a lot.

It’s so cool all the worldbuilding you did for your story. Does worldbuilding…[Read more]

All the same principles that make any character good applies to an Indian character. So I suggest doing a lot of research on what makes a character well-developed, complex, and what makes them feel real. There’s a lot of articles on KP about that.

And then I’d do a lot of research on what kind of Indian she is. Everything surrounding…[Read more]

@anika123

What’s the premise of the story? I think if I knew a bit about what it’s about I could give you a better answer on if the title fits.

Also, congrats on finishing your novel! Is this the first book you’ve finished or have you completed others before?

@beth-darlene

Cool! Do you choose the word for the prompt yourself randomly, or do you find it somewhere or are inspired by something?

@ariel-f

Hi! So nice to meet you! I’m Kathleen, I’m also homeschooled and I love writing in pretty much every genre, except for Romance. (It’s cool as a sub-plot, but main plot is not really my thing. XD)

Wolves and horses, are some of my favorite animals as well! Along with Whales, Dolphins, and Deer.

What kind of music do you like to listen…[Read more]

@elfwing

Hiya! Awesome to have you!

Did someone say Toothless? Man, I love that movie so much. XD

Ah, Tolkien. He’s one of my favorite authors as well. Which all of his books have you read? I’ve only read LoTR and The Hobbit, but I’ve been wanting to read the Silmarillion.

Ruby is so cute! Do you have any other pets besides her?

Also, what’s…[Read more]

@anika123

Hi! Great to have you! I love fantasy as well. Do you have any favorite fantasy books or just books in general?

Also, who’s your favorite fictional character?

Looking forward to getting to know you better! See you around!

@daisy-torres

So cool! Looking forward to your first video!

When reading or watching stories from countries that you don’t usually, it’s kinda fun to see what cliches are consistent globally and what new tropes they like to use often.

But I find there is almost always a different feeling to the stories. Like the author had a different mindset or approach to the story when he or she…[Read more]

@beth-darlene

Hi! I’m Kathleen and it’s awesome to have you!

Yeah, Story Embers is pretty great and I actually have a couple friends who are a part of the team there!

Short story and fantasy? Sound right up my alley. I’ve always loved fantasy and I’ve been in a short story phase recently. I love how you can complete a whole story in less than a…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Thanks for the recommendations! I love trying out different types of stories than I’m used to. You sometimes get tired of the same old stories you know?

@lydia-s

Haha, I get it. Writing a full length novel is a slow, arduous (but fun) process. My siblings and I are still working on the first installment of our serial novel. :p

@devastate-lasting

Since you haven’t watched Phineas and Ferb, I can testify that Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Perry the Platypus is a fantastic choice.

And Batman and Joker… They diffidently deserve their place as one of the most iconic Villain Hero rivalries of all time. That’s quote you shared is amazing, man, hats off to however wrote…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Aahh! I love it! I’m going to show this to my siblings who I’m writing the story with. Thank you so much! 😀

@joy-caroline

So cool! Here’s the most recent project I started a couple week ago.

Here’s some basic info (take or leave whatever you want):

Takes place in a Japanese inspired Kingdom. MC is Rayen who lives in a fortress which is under siege. She is 18 years old, long red hair, lives in a house covered in flowers, sells the flowers she grows,…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Haha, XD Why was that so funny? Maybe because it’s way too relatable

@writerlexi1216

Yeah, I feel like there are so many characters that don’t feel human. Characters that feel like puppets, cold and empty; being strung along to advance the plot.

How am I suppose to care about those characters? And if I don’t care about them, than why should I care about what happens to them or what they do?

And like you said, I…[Read more]

Uh, sorry about being MIA for the last week, but I’m back and I gotta say, there are a whole lot of great answers here that I’m surprised I didn’t even think of while trying to figure out my favorite!

@devastate-lasting

It really shows how much they care right? If they sacrifice everything including their own lives, it makes you care about the…[Read more]
