Elizabeth replied to the topic Overcoming Writer's Burnout : in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 3 months ago
@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]

Elizabeth replied to the topic What are the 1st three things your MC says? in the forum Characters 3 years, 3 months ago
@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]

Elizabeth replied to the topic Writers' Corner #1 in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 3 months ago
*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]

@scripter-of-kingdoms Heh, you could say that 😛 Yeah, I was referring to the Loki TV show on Disney+ (which yes, you are correct–it is Marvel), which has quickly become one of my favorite shows ever. But I’ll leave fangirling for another day 😛 I’m sorry you’re dealing with burnout! That’s never fun, but I promise it does get better <3 That's a…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdoms Life is pretty swell at the moment! I’m busy fighting off the urge to rewatch the entirety of Loki at the moment, but that’s just life. 😛 How about you? How’s writing? How’s life? It’s good to talk to you!

@lewilliams LOL that’s good to hear! are you super into marvel? (at least i’m 70% sure loki is marvel LOL) i’m good! my life and writing are basically the same thing at the moment.

@lewilliams Oh, fun! My dad’s been binge-watching that show, LOL. Aw, thank you for the encouragement!! Yeah, I agree with that – I’m gonna try to do more on the plotting side of things until I feel I’m ready to write again. 🙂 AND THANK YOU!!!!! Awww, confetti! YAY! *scoops it up in handfuls* Haha, I’m ambitious. XD Yep, Bren’s in that series!…[Read more]

Elizabeth replied to the topic Adding another perspective to my book? in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 4 months ago
@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]

Elizabeth replied to the topic Favorite Fonts in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 4 months ago
@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]

Elizabeth replied to the topic Using a Pen Name: Yay or Nay? in the forum Publishing & Platform 3 years, 4 months ago
@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 *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]

Hello friends!
I hope everyone is doing well <3
So, long story short, I’m attempting to “get back into” reading. It’s been a long while since I’ve read regularly for pleasure (I blame being an English major in college–it’s difficult to find the mental space for a “fun” book when you’re floundering through various reading lists, you see), and I…[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]
