@larchness Hi Chloe! Welcome to the Kingdom! We’re so glad to have you here!

I’m really glad that you found the articles on this site useful; they really are great.

Ooh, a graphic novel! Do you mind sharing a little about your WIP? I’d love to hear more about it.

What are some other hobbies that you have? Any favorite books, authors, or movies?

@abigail-m
Maybe I can help you?
First of all, if it’s any comfort, I know exactly how you’re feeling. Trust me when I say that writing is hard, so that’s normal! But I’d like to try to offer some advice (sorry in advance for a long response…)

#1. For your first struggle, this is what I would recommend: let your plot come from your protago…[Read more]

@KingdomPenWriters.

I’m almost ready to start the second draft of my novel entitled ‘The Snow Warrior’ and (sad but true) after fifty thousand words of writing, I still don’t have a plot. I can’t figure out what my MC’s overall goal is. I mean, I have plenty of subplots, supporting characters, villains, animals, themes, symbols, backstories,…[Read more]

Your book sounds awesome. It sounds like something I just read on the back of a dust jacket at the book store!

@joy-caroline Nice! I have a sweet tooth, though I’m afraid I don’t have much tolerance for spicy things.

You are probably one of the only people I have ever met to like Hallmark movies. I’m glad that someone enjoys them.

Ooh, drawing! If I didn’t write so much I would probably take up drawing again.

@joy-caroline

Your story sounds BEAUTIFUL!!!!!  Amazing work, coming up with it and sticking with it to the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Welcome to the forum btw 😃)

@writerlexi1216

You’re welcome and you are definitely not alone with that struggle.

@joy-caroline Welcome, welcome! We’re glad to have you here!

Your novel sounds quite interesting! And those are some great goals 🙂

I love To Kill a Mockingbird! Really great novel.

Let me summon up some questions…

1. Favorite foods?

2. Favorite movies?

3. Any other hobbies?

@abigail-m Thank you so much! At least I know I’m not the only one who struggles with this problem! And that’s a really good idea, putting my characters in wacky situations and “watching” them respond to it… that’s a wonderful way to help me figure out their personalities! I don’t think I’ve ever thought about doing that, but I’ll try it! Thanks…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

You are definitely not alone in feeling like your characters seem the same personality-wise. That’s one of my biggest writing problems too.

I know it’s probably not much help with all the other great advice, but sometimes it helps to take a ‘test drive’ with my characters. It has helped me in the past. That is, putting the…[Read more]

Hi! Welcome to Kingdom Pen! (I’m pretty new myself too).

Your novel sounds very interesting, I love seeing teens writing for Christ, which is a reason I joined too. I’m sure you’ll love it here, everyone I’ve met has been awesome.

@joy-caroline
This is true! So how has writing/editing in The Apostle’s Sister going today? I got to read a little bit more in the first chapter. Sadly I was hoping to have completed it but my day got away from me.

@joy-caroline
Yep!!!!! I just accepted your friend request!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aw, girl, I’m glad to know you trust my judgement on things. XD Much love to ya, girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <33

@gracie-j

OH MY GOODNESS, thank you so very much! You’ve saved my writing life immensely! I agree with 100% of what you said, and I suppose I’ve never thought of character voices that way, but it totally makes sense! That’s a great illustration to have different characters use distinct exclamations, or how they view sunsets, and all the other…[Read more]
