@gracie-j @mkfairygirl Ah thank you!

@issawriter7 Also that looks great!

@hallie-jean Ah, I see! That’s perfectly fine!

Oo, those stories all sound rlly interesting! Yeah, I get what you mean about motivation. It’s hard. You just gotta keep at it and take breaks.

Ah, I’m currently juggling several stories right now! Some of my favorite past stories include one about a boy who has to make a choice at the end of summer…[Read more]

@hallie-jean Then I’ll definitely have to add that to my to-read list!

Ah, I get you. I used to read fantasy and other stuff as well. Now, contrary to what I thought as a child, I enjoy classics a lot more, haha.

Oo, suggestions! I don’t know how old you are, so I’ll be a little cautious when I recommend things…

When someone tells me they’re…[Read more]

@hallie-jean Your replies have worked! 🙂

Oo, I’ve heard a lot of good things about Keeper of the Lost Cities. I have a friend who is obsessed with them. And I really like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings as well! I’ve only watched a couple of the Avengers movies, though.

Ah, I used to draw a lot! Nowadays writing takes up too much of my time,…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdoms If you’re not too busy could you draw one of mine…? I’ll offer up two…

1. Ava. Asian, with light blue eyes and straight black hair that almost reaches the shoulders…works at a cafe, so an apron over a t-shirt. She is 21.

2. Dema. Gray windbreaker and white knit hat, the edges of his hair are white, and has purple eyes…[Read more]

@hallie-jean Hi Hallie! Welcome to the Kingdom!

I find this community very inspirational and motivating! Hopefully you’ll find it this way too!

Some questions now…

1. What are some of your favorite books/authors/movies?

2. Any other hobbies besides writing?

3. Some of your favorite desserts?

4. Pineapple on pizza? Yes or no?

I hope you’ll…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Hey, that sounds great! Yeah, every time there’s a new short story contest I’m always like, “Should I…?” But I never do. I say you go for it! I’d love to see what you come up with!

And…here is the aesthetic for Jude Liar…

oopsie, no i have to go now 🙁

@godlyfantasy12 Yo, those look great! Love the colors!

@writerlexi1216 Aw, haha, thanks. Tips I would give:

Find a nice balance of images/quotes

Move around til you like them. No need to follow certain templates

Filters! Do. Not. Forget. Filters. Filters make everything so much better!

Also, don’t be afraid to crop images to your liking!

@valtmy @rochellaine Hellooo! 😀

@kathleenramm That moment when you have wayyy too many main characters to pick and choose from…

also totally unrelated but is this forum tagged gollum on purpose

There’s a buy a meal, get a meal free deal at the local fried chicken place (totally not KFC). There’s a kid standing there, maybe in his late teens, staring at the poster. A horrid…[Read more]

@gracie-j Uhhh I would suggest East of Eden by John Steinbeck except there’s like some swearing in it and also one of the MCs becomes a prostitute BUT I think that if you can handle Gone With the Wind I think you can handle this too…it’s really good, trust me. It won Steinbeck the Nobel Prize.

Some other of my favorite classic books! Most of w…[Read more]

@gracie-j Hidden Current and Forsaken Island by Sharon Hinck is really good (Christian allegory). I also really love the Weaver Trilogy by Lindsay A. Franklin and the Out of Time series by Nadine Brandes. For Whom the Sun Sings by W. A. Fulkerson is one of my most recent reads and that’s really good too.

*tries very hard not to go full fangirl…[Read more]

@gracie-j Ahh thank you! I do them while I’m bored in class or something, haha…keeps me occupied…

And here, 2 hours later, is my Gemini, Hana…

@joy-caroline Oo, that sounds great! I can’t think of anything right now, but go for it!

Here is one for my poor Taurus Bandaid boy, Aine…not my best work but y’know.

@godlyfantasy12 Ahh I getcha. When I’m bored I go onto Canva and make covers for my would-be books. Obviously I’m not gonna use them, haha, but it keeps me occupied and propels me forward.

I, unfortunately, do not know any artists aside from my sister. If I ditched writing I would work on my art instead, but as of today I am working on writing,…[Read more]
