@gracie-j YES, I totally agree! It takes away from the story…

@gracie-j Personally, I don’t feel comfortable reading or writing books with curse words in them (but I’m usually fine with things like “crap” or something). I understand some authors writing for the secular market might use curse words, maybe for a specific character that it seems fitting for; I guess it’s just up to the individual to figure out…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting I would recommend Scrivener, but that’s not a free software. Hmm…I use Google Docs quite a bit as well, which has worked out pretty well.

@godlyfantasy12

I’ve been hearing so much about that series!

What about them inspired you? The characters, the world, the theme, etc. I love hearing peoples thoughts and feeling about books.

Do you like the originals or the re-writes better? I’ve been wanting to read them, but I’m not sure which version to start with.

@gracie-j

I’m in the middle many different WIP, so my brains telling me, “focus on finishing what you’ve started Kat” but then my heart is like, “Ey, it’s ’bout time we set off on the roaring seas! Join hands with  MGPN!”

Well, a Pirate novel may or may not have started simmering in the back. And you’re right it does look like jolly fun. XD Oh,…[Read more]

@gracie-j This is quite the touchy subject among Christians. So things I’ve noticed about myself: I really don’t like it when authors overuse cussing in books, but I’m more ok if it’s a manga or Webtoon or something like that (probably because I’m too distracted by the images to really take in the words). I guess part of the reason why I gave up…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 *heart eyes* This is so awesome! Thanks so much for putting it together! 😀

@godlyfantasy12 Thank you so much for doing this! I’ll definitely try to use it! (Also the holiday one falls right on my birthday – that day shall be called Author Day. All my characters will have to bow down to me XD jk) But yeah, thank you so much!

@godlyfantasy12

Here are some ideas (not sure if they’re good or not):

• Write a scene where your character is old and goes back in time to visit their past self at some point in your story (that may have been confusing)
• Write a scene from your book but in a side character’s POV
• Pretend you’re one of your characters for a day (do as they do,…

I always hear about people being inspired by C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, but rarely do I get to hear about books that have inspired them! I’m definitely going to have to check Phantastes out. I love books that execute symbolism well, and also the original books where the cliches of today came from.

Hello Hello! It’s awesome to have you on the forum. 😀

Wow. It’s really cool that you started writing at such a young age. I started around 6 or 7, but only in the past few years have been consistent.

Who are some of your favorite authors? And does your sister read any of your writing

@godlyfantasy12 Okay, awesome, thank you! 😀 I’ll be brainstorming and let you know what I come up with…

(oh, but if some ideas happen to pop into my mind, I’ll be sure to share them 😉 )

@godlyfantasy12
Wow, this is a super cool idea! But I seem to be in the same boat as Linyang; I think I’m too busy to really participate in this, but I’ll definitely tag a bunch of people 🙂 …

@seekjustice @rochellaine @gracie-j @kathleenramm @ariel-ashira @alia @valtmy @everyone (To those I’ve tagged: feel free to tag more!)

@godlyfantasy12 That sounds like a great idea. Let me summon up some tags…

@godlyfantasy12 That sounds really cool! My family never really does anything for Advent, so I always forget when it comes around. To be honest, I’d totally do this if someone else could make me a calendar XD I’m unfortunately really busy these two days to create something for myself.

I think that creating character bios or writing short snippets…[Read more]

@iluvhim18  Your WIP sounds quite interesting! What do the princesses obtain if they win?

Ooh, I’ve heard of pretty much all of those. I really love Harry Potter as well, and I pretty much read all of the Warrior Cat series when I was younger, except for the extras and the new prequels series. I have a friend who really enjoys Keeper of the Lost…[Read more]

@iluvhim18 Hey there, welcome to the Kingdom! We’re glad to have you here!

Hmmm….lemme find some questions… What is your WIP about? What are some of your favorite books? Some of your favorite foods? Anything else you like to do?

@gracie-j

Although I’ve not written about pirates, they do sound like fun people to write about. Kinda makes me want to try writing a swashbuckling pirate novel with sea monsters. XD The genre is surprisingly underutilized I feel like in the book world. Unless I’m just in the wrong libraries.
