*falls through ceiling* I’M BACK FROM VACATION AND HERE FOR THE CHAOS!

@liskaboyce

Greetings! I am The Ducktator, also known as Abigail, and ruler of a vast ducktatorship. I am a homeschooled senior and a writer of fantasy and some other random WIPs. Besides writing, I love reading, dancing, birding, history, and politics. I am also obsessed…[Read more]

*drops through portal and strikes dramatic pose*

(Don’t tell GRCR I stole their dramatic entrance… 👀) (Or do. Huhuhu.)

ANYHOW. HIIIII. We met in another realm… a realm of Beans and introductions. Now I have learned to fly to other realms. Like this realm. And summon people with an @ symbol! That’s convenient.

IIIIIIIII have a quest…[Read more]

@liskaboyce

Wow 17.5k is a lot! I hope your new project/novel long surpasses it 😌

Oooh yes I love Two Towers! I will have to say that book wise it is my favorite (for I have only read half the third book, so I cannot count that one). And movie wise I love the extended version of Return of the King, but for the non-extended versions Two Towers is…[Read more]

@liskaboyce

You literally just answered the question I’ve been asking myself: why have I never finished first drafts? It’s because the middle of my book always feels forced!!!

There you have it! When I talk with people, either about my own work or theirs, that section in between the inciting incident and the midpoint is almost always the pro…[Read more]

@liskaboyce

Yeah, the middle part of a story is always the weirdest part. Koshka and Quicksilver made good points. I think a huge part of it is coming up with obstacles, and then connecting them to lead to the midpoint.

Follow-up question. Is it possible that the structure isn’t the issue, but that it’s incredibly difficult to think of actual…[Read more]

@liskaboyce

Hello! I am Bilbo Baggins. I too am new here and enjoy writing scripture-based fantasy. I also love Jesus, my family and friends, Lord of the Rings, and mac and cheese.

The highest word count I have for a project is 20,068 words. Unfortunately that project has been long abandoned, but I hope to exceed that word count with a new…[Read more]

@liskaboyce

Wow this is so cool! I love the characters! I especially have interest in Cassion (perhaps because I’m partial to the shared name, lol) and Vincent.

^ Tagging y’all for this quarter’s book club. ^

@ellette-giselle
I love the movie. I don’t treat it and the book as the same thing, but I think it’s amazing on its own!
 

@liskaboyce

It’s nice to meet you!

I’ve been writing since 2022, though I have yet to finish a project. My favorite genres to write are dystopias and fantasy.

Hello!

@liskaboyce

Hello!

It’s neat to have someone new! If you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t worry. I felt the same when I first joined.

My name is Liberty. I’m usually not that active on KP, but as I’ve recently started a Substack for my family’s ministry and write every week, I’ve been getting more into all the writing life. I’m a saved-by-grace…[Read more]

@liskaboyce

Ah yes, the middle act, the fun and games part, the exhaustive what-are-we-even-doing-right-now pile of pain.

What I’ve recently found to help me (being myself in the final stages of plotting a novel) is to think of this part of the book as when the characters face two big obstacles to reaching their goal, and the aftermath of either…[Read more]

I’m going to be that person who tags everyone without asking.

(Participating in this part of KP is optional. I’m just making people aware of this topic.)

@liskaboyce

 I have a character who travels around the world my story is set in (his name is Wanderer) and he is as annoyed as one could possibly dream a character could be.

That’s awesome 😆

Right now it is depressed and angry (think stereotypical teenage angst type thing)

The House: *emo hair flip* “Bro, you just don’t get me.”

This house is…[Read more]

@liskaboyce

Whaley’s response is lovely and says quite what I was going to, so I’ll only add:

Ugh. Yes, there are so many different styles of plotting that it gets hard to find one that will work for you. I’ve tried several and have eventually ended up with one that’s a sort of mix between three-act and beats, but using bullet points.

okay that…[Read more]

@liskaboyce

 I have yet to hit 20k in a first draft, so that is goal #1. Then beyond that, yes I am trying to hit 50k. But if I manage to hit 20-25k it’s a win in my book!

Oh yeah, 20k is always the first goal. And some of my projects never make it past that point, I’ll admit.

Ooh, Kingdom Pen should do a NaNoWriMo spinoff forum for anyone in…

@liskaboyce

aha! Well, there are several artists on here who often draw characters for others. (I happen to be among them.) Look us up in the art topic if you are interested!

@liskaboyce

Those are very logical reasons, yes. *Nods seriously*

Ah, she hath thrown back the question at me! Let’s see…*thinking noises*…I’d have to say ride a dragon for a day. I didn’t say I couldn’t also own a horse at some point, and I would love to know what flying on the back of a giant fire breathing reptile would feel like. For…[Read more]

@liskaboyce

Oh yes!! Do you have character drawings? There’s an art topic I can direct you to if you do!

@liskaboyce

Ahh! I love the name Cassion! I have a Cassion too! He’s one of my favorite characters!

The more I hear about these brothers, the more I want to read the book! lol
