@morgan Awesome! Do you have a synopsis that you’d like to share with us?

Ah, those movies are really good. And epic music is really great to write to!

Those are nice hobbies! I miss playing with Legos, haha…

Eyy, Hawaiian pizza for the win!

@morgan Hi and welcome to the Kingdom of Pen! We’re so glad to have you here!

Fantasy is awesome. I write quite a bit myself. Do you have a story that you’re currently on?

Any movies or music that you particularly enjoy?

What other hobbies do you have besides writing?

And finally, do you think pineapples belong on pizza?

Lovely to have you…[Read more]

@kathleenramm *spent hours trying to decide which WIP*

All right, three out of the four main characters of my current work:

1. Kenneth Ouyang, the quiet (former?) student teacher (is he a student or a teacher? who knows) known for always wearing a white baseball cap. The leader of the operation. Trying to balance questing with taking care of his…[Read more]

@milena The Lord of the Rings is such a good trilogy! I haven’t watched the others yet, but I’ll make a note of them!

The Great Gatsby was very good! I haven’t read the others, but I’ve been meaning to read The Girl on the Train. Coming of age books are very good, I agree.

Absolute mood. I also adore music. And I have listened to The…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Murder someone.

Well, or badly injure someone. Is what I do. I’m assuming, however, that your story isn’t of the suitable genre. But yeah, what Jenna said. Keep writing by looking forward to whatever’s coming. Or maybe spice things up by doing something unexpected. Or develop who you thought was gonna be a minor character. Whatever…[Read more]

Sometimes this happens to me when I’m working on a more slow-paced story. But I try to remember that if the plot points are big changes for the protagonist and move the plot forward, then they’re important, even if they might not seem exciting. 🙂

@milena Hi there! Welcome to Kingdom Pen! I hope you have an awesome time here! I’m Linyang, one of the members here!

Ah, I used to write a ton of poetry! I’m looking forward to seeing whatever you share!

Short stories are fun! And I totally relate to finding inspiration everywhere. What are some of your favorite movies/books/songs?

I’m so glad you liked them, @nanisnook ! <3

@mkfairygirl You’re so welcome, Katherine! <3 Glad you like them!

@nanisnook Ah, sorry to hear you’re feeling like this! I guess here are my tips:

• Read terrible writing
• Daydream about your writing dreams
• Receive validation
• Start something new
• Take a break

Hope these help!

And Writing Has Been Romanticized

@nanisnook

I’ve written a couple blog posts I think might encourage you 🙂

5 Thoughts Writers Need to Stop Thinking

@kathleenramm Mm, I’ve always loved dragons. But after much consideration I’ve realised that a dragon would burn my papers to a crisp. Which is why I’m going for an eastern dragon. They can’t breathe fire (most, at least), they’re super duper cool, they can fly and take me places, they can fly up to the celestial heavens and talk with the…[Read more]

Oh, I forgot to post yesterday. Well, since I can’t remember what I ended on, paper or PC, here’s one from my PC:

“As if people actually like him, man. His life probably sucks.”

@godlyfantasy12 This is a great idea! 😀 I absolutely love using worksheets for my creative process!

@joy-caroline

I can’t remember where I heard this, but this came to mind: “God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.” God gave you that story idea. He must want it t be told. By you. Just know that He wants to help you, strengthen you, support you. Yes, research is a must, but at some point you just have to let go, take a deep…[Read more]

@iluvhim18 Here it is…I put slashes in between the tags to avoid excess pinging people, so remove them when you do post it again.

“Alright, y’all, I’m not exactly sure how this will work but let’s go for it anyway! How many of you have seen (or joined/posted) on the I DARE YOU TO… topic? *pauses to watch hands shoot up* I thought so… Anyway, @…

@iluvhim18 Looks like the forum ate your topic…I still have what you wrote though, do you want me to copy/paste it over?

@iluvhim18 Awesome! Thanks Evelyn!
