@hybridlore Violin is gorgeous. <3 Do you have a favorite song to play?

I play the piano, and I’ve fiddled around with the guitar and the recorder in the part. XP

Spaceships, thieves, and magic – that sounds like a fantastic combination. XD

@hybridlore Eee, welcome to KingdomPen! *blows trumpets* Oooh, violin? How long have you been playing that?

What kind of characters do you like writing best?

@joy-calle *throws confetti* That’s so exciting! 😍 Congrats!

@acancello My latest book obsession is For Whom the Sun Sings. It’s dystopian but without dystopian clichés (i.e. no angsty teenagers and no robots overtaking the world 😜), and it’s. . . truly a masterpiece. <3 It’s about an eleven-year-old boy who can see in a society where every man, woman, and child is blind. The characters are heart-breaking,…[Read more]

@sarafini Yayyy, this is going to be great!

Per the YWW pitch – *clears throat* YWW quite literally changed my life. 🥰 I had been writing for a few years and had scoured the internet for every article on writing out there, yet I wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted to. Then, after a handful of CWWs, I took the plunge and joined YWW in January of…[Read more]

@whalekeeper Ooh, fascinating topic. <3 I genuinely love good parent-child relationships in fiction. . . whenever they do show up. 😜

I think what you said is on point – it’s not the writing of abusive or absent parents that’s the problem, because those things do exist in real life and fiction should mirror that. The problem is the way it’s…[Read more]

I’ll be there! Super excited for this. (And if anyone needs the YWW pitch, I have it. XP)

@acancello That sounds amazing. I’ll have to see if our library has it.

@euodia-vision I knowww; it’s wonderful. <3

@lydia-s Nice, I’m glad you’re having a good time!

Hahahhaha you have met me on my second round of exams, finals this time, plus all the work in the world you could imagine. But that’s okay, we’ll be fine…

@euodia-vision Ack, I thought I had responded to this. I found it online and can’t for the life of me find out who wrote it, but it’s beautiful. <3

The piper piped in the valley

Of rainbow hopes and fears,

A song as old as the Angels

That fell on our idle ears;

And the elfin echoes of laughter

Were lost in the dying day

As we forget, for…[Read more]

@acancello Ooh. . . it sounds vaguely familiar, but I don’t think I’ve read it. What’s it about?

@euodia-vision Ahhh, yessss. Rilla of Ingleside is honestly one of my favorite books. <3

@landric Most of the historical fiction I’ve read is in third person, so unless you have a strong reason to go with first, I might stick with third? Especially since that’s what your audience is expecting, and they probably like it better. 😋 But ooh, journal entries + third person sound excellent!

@acancello Yesssss, they’re all amazing. You’re making me want to go re-read Jo’s Boys. XD

@light-warrior-pen XD I feel that so badly.

@acancello Yesss, the Little Women trilogy is the best! I actually thought Jo’s Boys was another name for Little Men the first time I saw it and didn’t pick it up because of that. XD I know I’m probably not supposed to ask this question, but I’m going to anyhow. 😇 Do you have a favorite of those three?

Also, have you ever read any of Jennifer…[Read more]

*sneaks in with confetti* I am horrid at titles, but – @light-warrior-pen! Congrats! *throws confetti and offers cake* That’s a huge accomplishment. Fantastic work! 🥳 *slinks back away from title talk*

“Misery, misery! Readers won’t kill us, nice readers-“

Adapted Gollum quotes aside, I think you can outrage your readers without cheating them. Both can happen in a character’s death, and cheated readers very often are outraged. 😛 But you can reasonably outrage a reader without them feeling cheated.

If you truly build up your character (and it…[Read more]

@kyronthearcanin That sketch is amazing! 😍 How long have you been drawing?

@light-warrior-pen I like novels, but short stories are quicker and easier to finish, lol.
