@trahia-the-minstrel HELLO HELLO HELLO and WELCOME to the Kingdom of Pen! The name’s Grace but all round here call me Kads. 🙂 Oh my word, you love ATLA, Zelda, LOTR, and Mario? Man, I like you already. 😉 (I ALSO HAVE AN OCARINA THIS IS WAY TOO COOL XD) *clears throat, regains composure* It seems we have some stuff in common! This is awesome!!…[Read more]

@anatra23

Thanks bro, what’s you swags status?

@power

Yeah, you wouldn’t want to know me now.

Now all I do is worry about my swag.

This quote gives me the kick I need to start writing everyday 😀

Here’s some epic quotes from Ryo from a story I wrote when I was 8. 

Why the story I wrote when I was 8, and not a more recent story? Well, 8 years was when I peaked. Ever since then, both my writing and my cuteness declined. My face is kinda like cryptocurrency sometimes. Meaning, it goes up in value, down in value, and Elon Musk wants to send…[Read more]

@melancholic-writer

The Premise to your WIP sound interesting! Do you have any favorite characters from the novel yet?

Also, flying is an awesome choice. I’d probably choose the same thing. If I could fly, I’d probably hang out on rooftops and trees all the time, haha.

@godlyfantasy21 This is a cool idea! ^-^

@kathleenramm Hmmm… Bren, Marge, & Ripley are the ones I know the best. Those guys are my oldest characters/the ones I’ve had around for the longest, so I know them better than I do my other ones (lol sorry guys). My friend and I like to joke a lot about what Bren or Marge might say and do. I definitely know them better than my other characters.

@melancholic-writer

Cool! I agree; it can be really cool to step back in time with fantasy. 🙂

That’s an interesting take on the story!

Hi there! I’m Ariel (or Archer), and I also hang out around Story Embers!

I’ll add a couple of questions to Kathleen’s:

1. What’s your favorite element of your fantasy world?

2. What’s the defining feature of your Cinderella retelling, as opposed to other retellings (if you can share without spoilers)?

Welcome to KP!

@kathleenramm I pretty much just practiced writing for a while, then I took a couple of courses on style and things, and then I just wrote a ton until sometime last year when I felt like my style is more like what it is now. And it’s still developing, though right now I’m finally finding it satisfactory.

@scripter-of-kingdoms

Ugh, I could go on forever with characters too, haha.

Out of all the character you’ve created, do you have one you know the best?

@devastate-lasting

Yo, I’m not even surprised that people always compliment you on your pros. It’s one of a kind.

Was pros something that came naturally to you or did you have to work on…[Read more]

@melancholic-writer

Hi! Welcome to the Kingdom of Pen! It’s awesome to have you here!

Just a few questions to get to know each other better:

1. What’s the premise of your fantasy novel?

2. When and why did you start writing?

3. Would you rather be able to breath underwater or fly?

Great to meet your acquaintance! Catch you…[Read more]

@ribbonash

I’m glad the conversation was a blessing!

Thank you! I really appreciate that. ^-^

Exactly.

I think I would agree with that. It can definitely be helpful to consider age when deciding what to include or not, what tone to go with or avoid, etc. as you’re thinking through a new idea.

I can see younger teens avoiding the YA section.…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Awesome! I’m glad it was helpful. 🙂

@daisy-torres

Wow, I love that!  The dancing was really good!!  I’m super impressed, there’s no way I could do that XDDD

@joy-caroline

I think that can still work as YA. Based on my personal experience, though, you might have an easier time getting older teens to read about characters in a variety of ages than getting younger teens to read it. When I was a younger teen, I was much more into reading about teenagers, and it was only as I got older and more mature…[Read more]
