@writerlexi1216 Ah, writer’s burnout… It’s such fun, isn’t it? :)))

As for my experiences with the subject: I went through a ~3-year period where I barely wrote at all, and am actually currently in the midst of somewhat of a dry spell. As such, a  lot of what I’m about to say is advice that was given to me (much of which was said by your broth…[Read more]

@nova21 Ooh I love this! (And your lines of dialogue!)

Here’s mine for Horace, one of my MCs who is a magic-lawyer on good days and a control freak on bad ones. 😛

1) “Enjoying the view?”

2) “I’m sure.” [action tag] “Something on your mind?”

3) “My apologies then,” [action tag] “You just seem rather—“

Yeah. Dealing with his moody teenaged comp…[Read more]

*pokes head into topic*

I know I’m a bit late to the topic, but I wanted to see how everyone is doing! How is writing going? How is life? Personally, I haven’t been doing much writing lately, but I have started playing Skyward Sword HD, which is basically the same thing, right? @scripter-of-kingdoms @seekjustice @devastate-lasting @godlyfantasy12…[Read more]

@ben-dykes Hello and welcome to Kingdom Pen! We’re very glad to have you here. I love your profile picture, by the way; it’s very cool. As for advice, I would echo what Lin said. There are a few threads where people gather just to chat; the Writer’s Corner, for example, as well as the WIP Chat thread tend to be helpful. If you have any questions,…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Well, you’re talking to someone whose current WIP has three different perspectives, and I write in first person, so… #sendhelp

I think that adding another perspective to TAS would be lovely!! I love the freedom that the multiple-perspective-style brings, and that I get to explore the story from three different angles. My biggest…[Read more]

@joycaroline Lol, I also hate comic sans, but I’m that weird writer who will occasionally use it when I’m writing. There’s just something about it that’s so unassuming and easy to read (especially if I’m trying to proofread something, particularly essays) that it takes the pressure off and helps me get words on the page if I’m stuck. That being…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 Ehehe, am I totally stalking this topic because I’ve had (and continue to have at this very moment) the very similar debate in my head about whether to use initials or my middle name? I’ll never tell. 😛

Anyway, I don’t have much to add, except to suggest just playing around with it. Add your name to some mockup covers of your…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-assassin I realize I misspelled your username but am afraid to edit my post in order to rectify my error for fear that it will disappear forever. My humblest apologies.

@not-so-secret-assassin *saunters into topic late (as per usual), a mug of a suspiciously cozy tea-like beverage in hand* So, what did I miss?

*ahem* Let’s get down to business. Party business, that is.

I shall be bringing soup. Because what party is truly complete without soup?

As far as attire goes, I shall be dressed as a hobbit. Or perhaps…[Read more]

I think the forum ate my post, so we’re going to try this again. *headdesk*

…that awkward moment when you started a topic three weeks ago and never replied to anyone about it…oops 😛

Anyway, thanks guys for all the recommendations!!!

@nanisnook I haven’t, but since starting this topic I’ve started listening to the audio version of the first b…[Read more]

@nanisnook I haven’t, but since starting this topic I’ve started listening to the audio version of the first book and am definitely a fan!! Thanks for the rec! 😀

@lydia-s Thank you!!!…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Awwwww, that’s such a cute story!!! I would love to read that short story one day, because it just sounds too perfect. (I love the phrase “spicing it up a bit with some ghosts” btw–that’s such a writerly mood. 😉 )

Well, I work in a library now, so I’m sure there will be lots of things that inspire my stories that I see there.…[Read more]

@elizabethcan Hello Elizabeth!! I’m…also Elizabeth.

*ahem* Anyway, welcome to the Kingdom of Pen!!! It’s so nice to meet you, and I hope you have a lovely time here. Now, for a few questions:

1. What’s your favorite cozy beverage? (Tea, coffee, hot chocolate, etc.)

2. When you aren’t writing or reading, what do you like to do for fun? (Do…[Read more]

*ahem* Hello Relia!! I’m Elizabeth, and it’s so nice to meet you! I can tell we’re going to get along famously–I too am a tea enthusiast and do so appreciate having a Gollum-voice-using-person around. Also #formerlyhomeschooledpeopleunite, you know? 😛

When you aren’t writing, what…[Read more]

@gracie-j Oooh this looks so fun!!! I just started a new job, so no promises, but I maaaaaay try to throw my hat in the ring! Either way, I’m looking forward to reading the winner’s story! 😀

@sami-eastwood Hello Sami!! I’m Elizabeth, and it’s so very nice to meet you! Would you care for a cup of virtual tea? Or are you more of a virtual coffee person?

Eyy, a fellow twenty-something-er! *fistbump* And whoa, six years is a long time to be writing!

When you aren’t writing, what kind of things do you like to do for fun?

It’s so nice to…[Read more]
