@power Heya! Welcome to the Kingdom!
Wow, your hobbies all sound quite interesting! As well as your projects! And you answered my question about pineapples and pizza before I could ask it. What are you, psychic?
Anyways, hope you find some encouragement here to start writing your books, because they sound absolutely epic!

@hallie-jean Ah, it’s been a long time since I’ve read Percy Jackson… It is by that new Riordan press, though, right? The one with all the mythology YA retellings?
To be honest, if I were to redo mythology, I’d do Chinese mythology, because that’s my personal favorite, heh.

@hallie-jean Ah, no, actually! That sounds very fun, though! XD

@elfwing Mm yes ducks would make such cute spies. My guards would definitely let down their guard for them. If I had guards.
And yes, eat the chickens. Better than eating the horse, heheh.
And geese are absolutely terrifying they would definitely make very good watchdogs. Or turkeys. Forget peacocks turkeys would do more than just be decoration.

@elfwing How about…chickens? There seems to be an underwhelming amount of chickens in fantasy except in cooking.
And ducks. And geese.

These are incredible! Have you thought about published some poems on the KP blog? I did it once, with the poem The Journal. You should totally do it!!
Also, welcome to KP! Feel free to join any topics that you want. Do you only write poetry or do you write fiction/nonfiction too?

ella replied to the topic Adding another perspective to my book? in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 9 months ago
Ugh, I totally get what you’re talking about! Sometimes daydream about my other books while writing a blah one, and I’m like “why am I even writing this??”
So I’d say go for it. If you got problems, face ’em head-on. That way, you’ll be able to get over the problem more quickly. And as for your idea, I’m loving it!!! I’m per…[Read more]

Lin replied to the topic What trope is most common in your stories? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 9 months ago
@kathleenramm Secret identities —- your works sound lowkey like Durarara!, which has quite a bit of that around the climax.
Hmm…for me I find myself pulling more light novel tropes, usually, such as getting hit by a truck, white curtains blowing in a classroom, fireworks festivals, etc…. I watch too much anime…
Um…I use “the quest” a…[Read more]

@joy-caroline That sounds awesome! I’m all for parallels! Sounds like it would be hard to pull off but if you could do it, that’d be really good!

Undoubtedly, most definitely, undeniably dark and brooding love interests… 😐
They’re just so amazing, you know? And even if he isn’t the love interest, he’s probably gonna be a side character.
Also, hate-to-love romances are pretty amazing.
So ya, to some it up, romance tropes are most common in my WIPs… hehe!
-
Kathleen started the topic What trope is most common in your stories? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 9 months ago
What’s the most common trope you use in your writing? Chosen one, love triangle, damsel in distress, old wise man, tragic backstory, secret identity, etc.
The most common trope I use in my stories is most definitely the secret identity trope. Without even realizing, I end up with three characters with secret identities in pretty much every story I…[Read more] -

@keilah-h Of course! One of my favorite books, East of Eden, is a retelling of Cain and Abel, and I love it to pieces. Your methods sound so cool! What stories do you usually choose?
-
Lin replied to the topic Character Arc chat in the forum Characters 4 years, 9 months ago
@kathleenramm Ah, farmer/shepherd meaning Cain and Abel, haha… I didn’t realise I was writing a retelling of the first murder until I was almost done. So…
Yes, reflective character arcs are so good with foils and things… Those always strengthen themes the best, I think.

@writerlexi1216 aw, that sucks. 🙁 i’m kinda having burnout too. will pray <3 #burnoutbuddies

@scripter-of-kingdoms I’m doing good. 🙂 Been writing the first draft of my spy novel for more than a month and have about 6 or 7,000 words written. (It’s a slow process. XD)
-
@mkfairygirl aw, that’s awesome to hear! i’m glad it’s going well 😀 (yeah i understand, writing can be SO slow XD)

@gracie-j Yeah, but are you r e a l l y alive, or just living? XD

@gracie-j *cries because this is the biggest mood ever*

I’m doing great! I’m further along in my novel than I’ve been in any other I’ve started and I’m still going strong… granted, I’m only 16,000-ish words into it, but still… All glory be to God! How’s life in your corner of the globe?
-
@faith-q aw, that’s great!! i’m SUPER happy to hear that!! yes and amen. <3 things are going along well! i've got a lot on my plate writing-wise at the moment, but i'm trying to take things slow and actually do some plotting + expansion of my series. thanks for asking! 🙂
-
-
@scripter-of-kingdoms Life is pretty swell at the moment! I’m busy fighting off the urge to rewatch the entirety of Loki at the moment, but that’s just life. 😛 How about you? How’s writing? How’s life? It’s good to talk to you!
-
@lewilliams LOL that’s good to hear! are you super into marvel? (at least i’m 70% sure loki is marvel LOL) i’m good! my life and writing are basically the same thing at the moment.

@scripter-of-kingdoms Heh, you could say that 😛 Yeah, I was referring to the Loki TV show on Disney+ (which yes, you are correct–it is Marvel), which has quickly become one of my favorite shows ever. But I’ll leave fangirling for another day 😛 I’m sorry you’re dealing with burnout! That’s never fun, but I promise it does get better <3 That's a…[Read more]
-
@lewilliams Oh, fun! My dad’s been binge-watching that show, LOL. Aw, thank you for the encouragement!! Yeah, I agree with that – I’m gonna try to do more on the plotting side of things until I feel I’m ready to write again. 🙂 AND THANK YOU!!!!! Awww, confetti!

Person A: Why did the cow jump over the moon?
Person B: Idk why?
Person A: Because the milkmaid had cold hands-

Kads that was smoooth XDD

@daisy-torres LOL thank you. 😉

@gracie-j Ooof okay I see. That’s rough. I’m doing the parent-taught course, where my parents just let me drive and tutor me as I go, and when I’m done and they confirm I’m a decent driver, I take an official test.
-
I’m doing good! Finally getting into a writing routine, (about time… XD ). Anyhow, how about you?
-
@abigail-m Oh, that’s good to hear! How are Meija and Filip doing? 😛 I’m doing… okay-ish, I’ve been burned out lately, what with finishing my first novel, so am trying to do some plotting for my next WIP. 🙂 Hoping to jump back into writing soon, though. Fingers crossed 🤞
-
Hi!:D (Very late reply, I apologize for that), Mejia and Filip are doing pretty good right now, (I mean despite a few arguments, fights, and a near-death experience), they’ve been getting along great:) XD It always makes me really happy when someone remembers my characters, so thank you for asking!!
Aw, I’m sorry to hear you’ve been burned out!…[Read more]

@gracie-j Ooof I FELT that. I’m trying to hang in there too tho XD We can do it *confetti for the future*
They don’t do it?? Sorryyy! I have a friend that did the ‘official’ drivers ed (I’m assuming like what you’re doing) and she said it was pretty complicated and hard to drive back and forth all the time. Sorryy XD You got this though!!!
-
@gracie-j *takes chocolate* Thankkss!
Oooh lovelyy ;-; How long would it take to do your courses and Driver’s ed? It sounds like you need some chocolate too XD *snaps the bar in half*
-
@gracie-j Oof girl! Good luck with that!! (I totally agree with you XD Reading is more fun when it gets your imagination going XD) You can do it though! I’m not sure how you will, but you will XD
-
@gracie-j Absolutely!!

That sounds like a beautiful story! I love stories that explore themes and struggles but always have a light of hope from God. Those are the most impactful and memorable stories for me.
How did you get the idea for the story?
Those parallels inThe Mafia of Heather Flights sound so interesting. I watched one…[Read more]

ella replied to the topic Questions on drafts and beginnings… in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 9 months ago
Hey Hallie! Good question! A first draft is the first written version of your book. For me, I like to write all my words at once, then edit it afterwards. I always try to edit while I’m writing, but that’s not a great habit to build, because it can make me pretty discouraged. And like @devastate-lasting said, notes would be good to…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Positive character arc…what’s that…
I used to not think about character arcs but hey, now I kind of do.
I know I have some planned but the only one I can think off of the top of my head that I’ve actually written is Rainan Streamgate’s negative character arc. Which, honestly, turned into a farmer/shepherd story more than I…[Read more]
