Firstly, thank you for making this post. I don’t know how much wisdom I have to offer, since I am struggling with this same thing. Seriously, I have two characters that I am planning to kill,(one is doomed beyond hope since his death is literally the finale of his arc. The other may escape my sword. May being the operative word)…[Read more]

@faith-q

Well, I really haven’t been paying enough attention have I? I just saw this tag. =|

That sounds like a good start for a story, and is making ideas spring into my head. If written well it wouldn’t be cliche. It has some possibilities for a powerful storyline.

Random spark of ideas- What if this country is something like Israel under…[Read more]

Yeah, murdering characters is definitely one of those harder things about story plotting. I have a MIA in one of mine who won’t come back, even though part of me is testing that point pretty hard.

Oh… huge Wingfeather spoiler  was so well written, but, ahh, it hurt. *Sniff*

It’s probably a pretty even split for story ideas. For writing ideas in general, talking with people definitely wins; I get tons of ideas for blog posts and the like when I have discussions. And if I’m fleshing out a story idea I already have, it often helps to talk it out with someone else (whether they contribute ideas or simply serve as a…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Hmm I’m not used to brainstorming with others but sometimes I’ll brainstorm if I’m really really stuck, usually I prefer to get ideas from everywhere around me and letting it simmer in my head into something coherent. Maybe because I’m not used to telling other people about my ideas XD And they’ll probably not understand the end vibe I want.

@denali-christianson Aw haha thanks! Yeah, I’ve been ghosting the KP forum a lot lately, idk why. Busy writing, I ‘spose.

Hmm, short stories and novels are probably my favorite, and if it’s a mix of fantasy and crime and time travel or something mind-bending it’s really fun, haha.

Oh, you know, I decided to follow in the sensible path of a…[Read more]

@unsung Heyy nice to meet you Elfwing’s friend! I’m Linyang, though you can call me Lin. Welcome to KP!

@denali-christianson Heyy! Been too long since I’ve welcomed somewhere on here, seems like I’ll have to remake up my typical welcomes.

*ahem*

Hey, I’m Linyang, though most here call me Lin, and I’m a writer of almost all genres and formats!

Bruh, I was tempted to become a movie director once. What kinds of films do you make?

Also, villains yes lez go

@abigail-m

I’ll be praying!

@faith-q Girl of course!! And I totally feel you, my to-be-written list is also never-ending XD

It has the same kind of vibe to it, if that makes sense XD The ideas are totally different, but the whole “anointed one” aspect reminds me of it, although those words aren’t the ones used exactly XD You’d have to read it and ‘feel’ the world to see…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Yes, definitely! There’s too many to count, haha. But a couple I can remember:

• Bird Song by Florence and the Machine
• Gasoline by Brand New, covered by Falling Up
• Daylight by Northern Abbey

I’ve tried starting some based off of them, but usually I just write down the ideas and keep it for later. Too many ideas, too little time.

@autumn-rebecca

Beautiful. It never ceases to amaze me how a simple choice of words and rhythm can convey such various feelings. Your choice seems to give a broken hearted yet flowing stream of thought.

I would consider smoothing the rhythms or word choice so that the sentences work together a little smoother, but it is lovely as it is. Well…[Read more]

@madelyn

Ooof, I have the same difficulty. Or rather, a very, very similar one. I have been working on two WIPs for almost a year. No, scratch that: it’s been over a year. Anyway, these two book ideas both started from ideas for characters, with vague impressions of their plots. Now after months of quiet world building, scene crafting, and…[Read more]

@madelyn

Ah yes, right on cue for me today, wanting to write a whole novel with nothing but an idea for the villain. I can feel the general vibe of the thing. I heard a song lyric today that I want to incorporate into the plot. I know nothing else.

I think generally I’ll feel for how long the work will be, like a short story, novella, or novel,…[Read more]
