Mary G started the topic Advice for starting a Blog/Porfolio in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 3 months ago
Hey ya’ll,
As you can see by the title, I’m trying to start a Portfolio/Blog. I’m using Wix to host it. Does anyone have any tips or advice on making an engaging website, and what it should/shouldn’t include? Also, when you have a blog, I’ve read that you should stick to one topic, is that true?? Or can I write about anything I think people would…[Read more]

The Book Thief is great, but super sad!
I love books set in WW2! Another one I’ve read was called Enemy Brothers. I’d recommend it!
Well, if you ask me, I think that’s a pretty cool talent!!😄
You can also find The Letzenstein Chronicles on Amazon too.
See ya around!

Your WIP sounds very COOL!! Have you read any books or seen any movies set in WW2?
Gollum is a very entertaining character! Wow!!XD I’ve only known two other people who could do an impersonation of Gollum’s voice!
IKR! When you watch too many you start to think about people and things very differently! Lol! But I think it’s a good th…[Read more]

Yeah, you definitely should! It’s a great read!
Rafael is VERY well written!!
Ooo! I’ll have to check those out! I love the characters that make you laugh out loud, cheer on, cry, wring your hands, and ask yourself, “WHY can’t I go and become a fictional character and live in this book and be a part of it all!!”😩 LOL!
See ya arou…[Read more]

Thank you!!
I’m struggling with my first chapter and how it should begin! I’ve changed it a thousand times!😒 So I might be asking for some help/critiques coming up. I just feel like I’m info-dumping and telling too much in the beginning…I would appreciate any contributions when I put it out;)
I really like your BLF!!…[Read more]

Mary G replied to the topic What's your character's Lie? in the forum Characters 3 years, 3 months ago
Great topic!!
I just realized that most of my stories have a BFL and I didn’t even try to put it in there!
I guess I’ll do my MC, Emilia Taylor, from ‘The Inventor’s Daughter.’
Emilia’s BFL is that she believes that her past defines her. She was told that her parents were responsible for the fire they were killed in, which burnt down 5 apart…[Read more]

Yeah! I’m a big fan of Alfred Hitchcock! I’ve seen most his movies and episodes! The Twilight Zones are really cool…and creepy at times!
When I said ‘specialize’ I meant in movies! lol! I actually haven’t read a ton of mystery books,(just Nancy Drew) but it would be fun to write them! Haha! Movies I would recommend if you like myst…[Read more]

THANKS!
Yes! Movie watching is a hobby!;) I specialize in mystery and suspense! Lol! I do a lot of watercoloring and sketching. And anything DIY! I also love floristry and propagating plants.
Lol!! Yeah, that would be fun! once I get some practice with that style I’ll let you know and I can do it! 😉

Ur..umm..no..I didn’t draw it!!😂 But I like that style and want to draw stuff like it! Hehe!
I got that off of Pinterest. I think it’s a drawing of Belle, (Emma Watson) from the new Beauty and the Beast, which I haven’t seen. I just used it cuz I thought it would be ‘different’ and looked somewhat like me.😁 -
Mary G replied to the topic Hello there! in the forum Start HERE 3 years, 3 months ago
Whoa!! Your “Scary Narnia” story sounds really intriguing!! And Scary! And Original!
One of my many WIP’s is called The First Tomorrow.
It’s about a dystopian city where there is no night, no dreams, no homes, no nuclear families, no crime, no love. It’s supposed to be an ideal city/society and its people were all Chosen from our worl…[Read more]

Hey Tristan! Welcome to KP!
I think your mission is great!! I too aim to glorify God through my writings and produce wholesome stories that leave the reader wanting to aspire to be more, to do more, and live for more!
I am a big fan of Tolkien and CS Lewis too! And also Dickens. I agree…The Magicians Nephew is pretty Awesome!
Have you read…[Read more]

Hi Annika!
Welcome to Kingdom Pen!! My name is Mary; I joined 10 days ago so I am fairly new here!
I’d love to hear about your work in progress!
I like the Hobbit too! Who is your fav character in the book?
I love reading/writing dystopian and historical fiction, but also realistic fiction.
Are you a mystery movie person?

Mary G replied to the topic What are the 1st three things your MC says? in the forum Characters 3 years, 3 months ago
Ooo!! This is a cool idea! Let me see…
Ok, I got mine! But I skipped her internal dialogue, and chose the lines she says out loud. Also, she lives in 1870 London. In TID, Emilia is shy but resilient. independent (only because she has no choice) curious, sensitive, and kind. And a little defensive at times. She is great at problem-solving…[Read more]
