Heyy, welcome to KP!  I’m Ella, sorry as once again, I’m late to the party…. *wonders if that is an official title*

Anyways, I love sports, life hacks, and exciting adventures (not that i have manyXD).   I go to a classical xian school and love being around people.  I also adore chocolate. *drools*

So!  Questions for you: 😊

@zatara

Hey, sorry about the late welcome, but WELCOME anyway!  I’m Ella, I write dystopian/thriller/suspense/mystery/post-apocalyptic/YA novels.  I love myself a good mystery/thriller book on a rainy day with a cup of tea, if I’m in the mood.  If I’m not, I’m most likely in the gym or playing basketball or hanging with friends.  And writing is…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Thanks!  Well, i always had the idea for Hope’s character in the back of my head, but watching the Will Smith movie, I Am Legend inspired me to expand the plot.  That movie, paired with Interstellar really sealed the bill for me. XD  I love complex plots, high stakes, and characters searching for family/romance, so this story is b…[Read more]

@akbaer

Tbh, i feel like every era was just plain bad. XD  Maybe i’d go back to the eighties and nineties to jam out and crowdsurf XDDD  Not a super intelligent answer, but that’s what I’d do:)

@power

I LOVE geometry too!

@kathleenramm

for my WIP Spirals, the stakes are the choices between life and death.  Hope, the MC, lives alone in the wild and wants a “family” more than anything: parents, friends, anyone.  Every decision she makes decides if she’ll survive the next morning.  The people living in the post-apocalyptic world are basically insane so she never know…[Read more]

@daisy-torres i love it!  wanna read it now…

@kathleenramm

never have, probably never will. not because i don’t like it, i just can’t XD  i wish i had some tips, but all i can give are just the things Gracie already said. XD

@elfwing

i’m so sorry, but i’m really busy with my job.  I wish I could, and your story sounds fun! i love fantasy.  wish you the best of luck.  you might be able to find more beta readers on Story Embers, or you can search for the “ultimate beta reader list” on Recent Topics.  I can’t remember the tags off hand.  good luck! <33

@akbaer

hahaha whales can be pretty intimidating.

I love board games!  My little bro and me have a Memory rivalry (which isn’t rlly a board game).

ooo Gollum impersonation sounds like my sister!🤣🤣 that’s her favorite pastime.

archery sounds awesome!  I bet you’ll be amazing!  My BFF is super good at archery PLUS she is basically Jennifer…[Read more]

@joy-caroline this is right up my alley, girl!  I LOVE parallel characters with different arcs!!!!!!! ❤  Keziah sounds AH-MAZE-ING!  I just *internally squeals* love her already.

Like @godlyfantasy12 said, I mentioned some things corresponding to this on her “Making my antagonist likeable/believable” topic.  To echo that, I’ll just cut and pas…[Read more]

@will_starke Those shades are dope if anything is.

Hey @akbaer ! Sorry I’m late…  Welcome to KP!  I am Ella and I love writing dystopian fiction, drinking tea, playing sports, and drawing flowers.  And I have an irrational fear of falling into the murky river near our house. *cough* *smiles, wondering if we can still be besties* XD

Excuse me if these questions have already been asked, bu…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

This guy sounds fascinating!  His backstory is awesome, and he sounds like a genuine character.  For likeability, you could:

1)  Give the MC and Ridley something in common (a hobby, a genre of music, a favorite food, etc)

2)  like @elfwing said, moments of vulnerability.  That would make the reader open up to him really fast…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

If you have the resources, go for it!  No regrets! 😉  If it totally flunks, don’t sweat it.  If it turns out to be the best choice you could have made, yay you! <33 (I think a yt channel would work well for that)
