Okey-doke, guys, so I’m a pantser. I started out my novel with pretty much no idea of what was going to happen when, where or to whom, and now I’m at the point (eight chapters in, actually) that I really, really need to know what my world looks like. (Kudos to all those people that know this stuff starting out, by the way.) So… how do you guys…[Read more]

yeah, it’s sad when people walk away. It’s something I challenge myself never to do and I pray to God I never will.

Well, I have Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea demanding my attention, so see ya around! 😉 🙂 btw if you haven’t read it I recommend it, it’s a really cool book (and…[Read more]

Oh, goodness, I am very late… Welcome to the KP forum, Mary!
Ah, the wonderful C.S. Lewis… I’m a major fan of his as well. Have you read Til We Have Faces? I have yet to read any of his other adult/YA books. I’d love to try is Space Trilogy someday though.
I’m not sure what questions have already been asked (I suppose that is one of…[Read more]

Thank you! it took me a year and a half to decide! lol
Well, I must say my inspiration was partly from a Griffin clan keychain pendant I was given two years ago. One side of my family two generations back has that last name. 🙂 That triggered the story being started as well as the story of the MC (main character), but the actual world…[Read more]

The title says it all, folks. I just thought it might be fun to compare what your character says to see if the dialogue truly matches their personality or not.
So I’ll share mine first!
MC is Dylan, who is stubborn, quiet, and strong-willed. A little self-protective. Lmk if his dialogue fits his personality.

ahhh yes they totally ruined the Hobbit movies. Although I think they did a good job of Smaug
LoTR is my favourite book to read and I’ve listened through it several times too! Cool that you listen through it too! I have the  unabridged audiobook copy narrated by Rob Inglis. I can fall asleep listening to that book now lol

Sounds like you are writing some really intriguing stories! 🙂
Have you read/watched the Hobbit/Lord of the Rings?

Hello @maryg3,
It’s so nice to meet you! My name is Precious and I’m also new here. I got accepted into the forum about a week before.
1. I think I’ve already established my love for Aslan in the Chronicles of Narnia and I really enjoyed Oliver Twist and Dombey and Son (though Dickens is a little too verbose to be my favorite author). I also…[Read more]

Hey guys! Before I tell you my problemo, I’ll fill you in on the story first. Here’s They Came At Night’s synopsis:
24 miles off the Island of Camino, a commercial airline goes down in the Pacific. Only one passenger survives.
Dylan, an orphan-turned-foster child, was living with his uncle when he got the chance of a lifetime: travel to the i… -

Hey Mary! (Btw, before I forget, it looks like your website link on your forum signature is cut off… maybe shorten it? I think it’s limited to 80 or so characters…? Just letting you know, I do that all the time!)
Thanks! I’m trying to decide on a title right now. Do you like Camino or They Came at Night better? I kinda like…[Read more]

@maryg3 Ohh okk!! That’s so cool!!! We had the same problem with illustrating ours haha.
Oh neaat!! I looove the piano. I don’t play it well though XD I have a friend who sometimes plays for our church services. He plays so well.
Thanks! I do a lot of writing tips–like things that have helped me. Or sometimes I’ll do research for a book of mine…[Read more]

@maryg3 Whoa, I would totally read all of these! Especially the last one!
That meme is quite relatable, haha.
I like to write in the morning. I feel more productive then. *glances at the clock, realising it is late afternoon and hasn’t finished work*
What about you?

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Greetings, Fellow Writers!! in the forum Start HERE 3 years, 4 months ago
@maryg3 Your WIPs all sound so interesting! I would love to hear more about them!
Hmm…what has driven my desire to write? Perhaps it’s to get the stories out of my head onto paper, or maybe because writing is like breathing, and I can’t live without. Maybe it’s after I realised that my writing could make others feel things, and I want to do…[Read more]

I am a scifi fantasy writer/author, with two published books! I also have a blog, but I’m a master procrastinator so I rarely update T_T

Yes, short stories are very fun! I’ve been writing more of them lately myself, they really do wonders for exercises.
What is the premise of your current work in progress?
Also, do you like pineapple on pizza?
Lovely to have you here! Hope to see…[Read more]
