Oooh, new story!!!

Oh, yeah, this happens allllll the time. And when it happens for me, it’s pretty awful, ’cause I get bored REALLY EASILY in stories. which may or may not explain why I was insane enough to have a fight scene on PAGE SEVEN in one of my novels *sheepish grin*

Well, this is the best advice I’ve EVER heard when it…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Murder someone.

Well, or badly injure someone. Is what I do. I’m assuming, however, that your story isn’t of the suitable genre. But yeah, what Jenna said. Keep writing by looking forward to whatever’s coming. Or maybe spice things up by doing something unexpected. Or develop who you thought was gonna be a minor character. Whatever…[Read more]

Ooof, sorry it took me forever to get here. I’ve just not had the time to be very active on KP liked I’d wish. :,(

Anyway, the biggest thing is seriously DON’T COMPARE. I always get soooo down on me and my writing whenever I start comparing my sloppy, first draft to my favorite novels ever. But then I have to remember that you know…[Read more]

I dislike the rebellious kid/YA hero…

like Elsa from Frozen; she is a terrible heroine in my opinion; she runs off and expects it all to be fine. She thinks no rules apply to her and acts in a way that hurts everyone and then expects no one to get hurt by her actions even when inuring them more. I am glad that she does get into…[Read more]

Sometimes this happens to me when I’m working on a more slow-paced story. But I try to remember that if the plot points are big changes for the protagonist and move the plot forward, then they’re important, even if they might not seem exciting. 🙂

Revenge… It was hate in a better sounding word.

@milena Hi there! Welcome to Kingdom Pen! I hope you have an awesome time here! I’m Linyang, one of the members here!

Ah, I used to write a ton of poetry! I’m looking forward to seeing whatever you share!

Short stories are fun! And I totally relate to finding inspiration everywhere. What are some of your favorite movies/books/songs?

@iluvhim18

“Because I wanted to ask you to marry me!” he blurted.

duh duhhhhn

xD

I’m so glad you liked them, @nanisnook ! <3

@nanisnook

you’re welcome! That’s great I could help 🙂

@elfwing Nope you’re not weird. It helps me too. XD Thanks so much for the advice, it was super helpful!

@jenwriter17 Thanks so much! Those articles helped a lot. I definitely tell myself those lies on a regular basis, and it helps to know that someone else struggles with them too.

@gracie-j Thank you!! Reading my favorite thing that I’ve wri…[Read more]

@mkfairygirl You’re so welcome, Katherine! <3 Glad you like them!

@jenwriter17 Thank you for sharing those blog posts!!!!!! I read them both, and they were very encouraging for me!!!!!!!!!! 😀 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!

@nanisnook Ah, sorry to hear you’re feeling like this! I guess here are my tips:

• Read terrible writing
• Daydream about your writing dreams
• Receive validation
• Start something new
• Take a break

Hope these help!

@nanisnook
Girl, you are not the only one! I get discouraged over my writing all. the. time. It’s sooo much easier to feel bad about our writing more than it is to feel good about it. But God doesn’t want us to feel discouraged over our writing – something He has given you the interest and passion for. You can ask God to help you view your writing…[Read more]

@iluvhim18

Okay, here’s my line! 😀

I had a feeling he was a believer as well.

@godlyfantasy12

Thanks! 😀 Have a great time on here, ya’ll!

@nanisnook

Yup, I’ve been there. It’s no fun. 🙁

I guess one thing would be to remember that maybe you’re not where you want to be with your writing skills, but you’re not where you used to be. Even if you’ve only been writing for a few weeks, you’re better than you were when you first started. Writing is a journey, really, The time between…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I have to agree with you about the Pegasus, honestly! I’ve always adored Pegasi and would love to include one in a story someday. And yes, I’m sure they would make interesting writing companions XD Who wouldn’t want to have a cup of coffee with a Pegasus during a writing session? I know I would!:)

However, I think I would choose a…[Read more]
