Don’t beat yourself up over it! I struggle to convey things a lot, too, and I also am not very familiar with publishing since I haven’t looked into that, so my lack of understanding in that area probably contributed to the confusion.

Right now I’m just barely holding all my emotions together with my WIP…I am really really unh…

I think you’ve got a good point there, too. While self-publishing is easier, and I would probably take that route if I was only intending for a smaller audience to read my book (say, family and friends who are taking more of an interest in it), I also want to know that my writing is good quality, and I don’t want…[Read more]

What if Henry has a friend who’s a Redcoat? You could bring out the strife and yet friendship on the two sides of war.

Ooh that’s an interesting idea! I’ll have to think about that.

@trailblazer

One book that I found interesting is The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein. It’s sci-fi, but it is about a revolution on Luna against Terra, and the parallels are brilliant! I actually have a clearer picture of what it must have been like in some ways in the revolutionary war. Beware, Heinlein is not a Christian. T…[Read more]

@trailblazer

I don’t know too much about that time frame, and I haven’t read any books in it that I can think of right now. Also, I have pretty much zero experience writing from male POVs, so I wouldn’t be much help there either, lol. But it does sound like a cool idea, and I would love to read it once you start it!

@trillianwingfeather

Hi, nice to meet you! I’m hybridlore or Hybrid, a Christian homeschooler, high school sophomore, and science fiction writer. I also love the Wingfeather Saga, and I’m rereading it right now! 😁 My favorite character is probably Podo, but I like them all xD.

What do you like about your genre/style of writing and what books…[Read more]

And you say you aren’t good at asking newbie questions…

@jonas

Cole…he’s in 19th Century Roleplay. This was my intro post for him:

Alright…I’m gonna call my Cole from the ashes of my life where he lies, brush him off, and shine his medals.

Cole was my hero as a young child, he did every brave deed I could think up, in a WWII setting. I don’t remember him much, since when I hit the mark of ten or so…

Welcome to KP! I’m Janessa, aka Trailblazer, and I write a lot of contemporary/historical fiction, as well as a little bit of mystery. I also enjoy photography and hiking!

A couple questions for you:

-What is your favorite genre to read?

-What is your favorite book or series?

-Do you have any writing projects you’re…[Read more]

@trailblazer

Yeah, sometimes it helps to have two POVs, and other times it’s not necessary. I’ve become so accustomed to it though, that when I start coming up with a story idea, my mind naturally creates two POV characters. XD

Glad I could help!!

@savannah_grace2009

I’m not really sure how you want your story to go…but I would really recommend developing your characters before any plotting! Figure out their character arcs and internal conflicts. (Abbie Emmons on YouTube really helped me learn why internal conflicts matter! But if you do watch her videos…prepare to be overwhelmed! XD thoug…

“That’s really nice to hear. We know a few people whose experiences are similar to ours, like Callista and her family. Except,” his gaze drifted over to her, “she’s had a much harder time of it than me. In fact,” he tilted his head, “I’m not sure how she does it. She’s been through so much, yet when someone else is in…[Read more]

Nerp, still not working…

Are pics working for anyone else? Because I really want to post some moodboards but I can’ttt 😭

@rae

Oh wait, I just read your most recent draft and I like it even better!! I think it could stay as it is if you like it. 🙃

@rae

I like it how it is, tbh. I think it sounds great!

I’m dreaming of a time, when I was broken,

When you comforted me, many a time.

This part though doesn’t flow as smoothly as the rest of it. Um… I wish I could offer a suggestion… Maybe it could go something like this…?

I’m dreaming of a time, when I am hurting,

And you comfort my aching h…

Oh my goodness so I just watched one of her videos on why she chose to indie publish her book, and she claimed she wasn’t bashing traditional publishing but… you can tell she’ll never traditionally publish any of her books. 🫤😂 And she was saying that some people will give their manuscript to a publishing company, get rejec…[Read more]

@trailblazer

Oooh, I like the idea!!

That said, if anyone has any interesting plot ideas or conflict suggestions, let me know! Or if there are any good book recommendations from that time period, I’d love to hear them.

I will say writing a book over the span of eight years could be a challenge, but I’m sure you could do it. 😉 A series isn…[Read more]
