The flashbacks in the book are primarily going to be used to show who the characters he keeps mentioning were in life, and to explain the complicated situations that arose out of past politics between countries. My current plan for draft two is that the MC is “talking” to his dead friends, and appears a bit crazy–though to be clear, he…[Read more]

Thanks for the advice! I think finding the specific scenes I want before the flashbacks as you mentioned will really help. I really like the different varieties of flashbacks you mentioned. I believe most of the memories will be normal-er ones. The really traumatic scene happens at the very beginning of the book, so the readers have already seen…[Read more]

Hello, Lucy! My name is QuicksilverWyvern (though you can just call me Quicksilver or Wyvern, I don’t mind) and I like to write mostly epic fantasy with hints of other genres. I also have a ridiculous amount of other hobbies, though I’m definitely not equally great at all of them, lol! My dream job is to be an author and eventually a…[Read more]

If someone made him food, he’d invite them in and might try for a hug. ;] Emphasis on might. He doesn’t know if anyone would accept his hugs.

@ellette-giselle

You’re fine! I’ll see if Jasper wants to do something. I think he would stay quiet at this point and let someone else speak if they wish. But maybe I can come up with…[Read more]

Ah! What a great question. Here are some thoughts:

What triggered the flash back? Memories usually have a trigger anyway, but because these are grief/trauma memories, those triggers are likely to be abrupt. They’re best if they’re comnected to the plot or character. For instance, I have a character who lost his sister at a…[Read more]

Hi! I wanted to follow up because I sent you a message about a week ago. I know you’re probably extremely busy. But as you know, KP notifications don’t always work… lol. So I just wanted to check to see if you at least got it!

@nightbird2026

Hiii Lucy! Welcome welcome welcome!

I’m Beth! I write fantasy, steampunk, dystopian and maybe like 0.0002 drops of sci-fi. I’m currently working on a project based in a world with magic cursed swords (amongst other magical things). I love kittens, honeybees, green, music (but not green music, of course), archery, gardening,…[Read more]

@nightbird2026

Hello hello! I’m so glad you’ve gotten on KP at last!

I’m Ellette! I’m a published author if fantasy, dystopian, and Historical fiction for middle grade, YA, and adults. I am also the owner of a publishing company, a content editor, and an artist/graphic designer.

I LOVE character and book playlists! Do you do reels and/or…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

for sure!

idk who wants to get rid of a draft, but don’t. They are so helpful to look back on and say “oh, I actually like this character or that line” and steal from yourself. Plus, they are a part of your history! ☺️

Moth deserves angel food cake at his door. He specifically requests it. XD

uh, maybe they can keep talking…. or talk to Wolf.

I am so brain dead.

It seemed best to take note of when Ari grew dark. Once again, he did not care to say much about himself, but some of his short, clipped exclamations did not seem to come from a place of peace. Passion — and something like anguish — shone out of him in short bursts, like sunlight half blocked by a hand.

Moth would und…[Read more]

My other hobbies include: digital art, graphite art, coloring (I keep wanting to spell color the British way for some reason), composing music, playing piano, designing D&D campaigns and other table-top RPG systems, crochet, making impossible cosplay gear out of simply foam and cardboard, and lastly programming a video game. And there’s probably a…[Read more]

Thank you! My favorite kind of pancake is chocolate chip pancake, but with no syrup. I only use syrup on pancakes that don’t have chocolate in them.

My comfort book is probably Harry Potter, even near the end when all the characters are dropping like flies. I’m weird like that sometimes. I enjoy it because it’s easy to read and humorous at times…[Read more]

I’d say keep the draft. It could be fun to look back on. I still have a few of my first books around (just not that one, *shivers at the bad writing*), and it’s fun to occasionally look back.

@elishavet-pidyonI feel like it’s been centuries since I’ve been here, and I realized it’s been about a week.
