The characters are good in The Wingfeather saga? Now I must read it. Characters are what make or break a story for me.
Oh, yes. Those filler episodes. XD I mean, they definitely aren’t the best of AtLA, but I somehow still enjoy them. (Probably because I like the characters). Do you have a particular episode of the series that s…[Read more]

Oooh, yes. Characters and subplots. Those can so quickly get out of hand. XD It’s cool that your planning on rewriting one of your first novels! What’s the premise?
Haha. I’m pretty sure that I too have some very cringey dialogue haunting my laptop as well. Dialogue is still something today that I struggle with…[Read more]

@scoutfinch180 The Japanese term “manga” and Korean term “manhwa” are actually cognates of the Chinese term “manhua” so I use them interchangeably. 🙂
Anything else you’d like to share about yourself? Or anything you want to ask me?

@scoutfinch180 Tron Legacy was one of my favorite movies for the longest time. Still is. Fahrenheit 451 is also one of my favorite books. I’ve been tempted to check out Dune since I heard that Hans Zimmer was making the soundtrack for the new movie…don’t know if I will, though.
Webtoon is essentially serialized manga/manhua that I read a lot…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Is that so? Then I’ll it to my to-watch list. And maybe get to it after… *squints at list* Yeah, when I have some free time.
I was too lazy to learn how to reread sheet music for the kalimba so I mainly just play by ear. It’s good practice for transposing different songs into the key of C and helps me remember the main melody of…[Read more]

Hi! And welcome to the KP forum! I’m Kathleen and about a year younger than you and am a part of the KP team.
Congrats on making it to the final stretch of your novel! So many of my WIPs die out before they ever get close to the climax. Your premise is really interesting and definitely a book I’d want to read. Sci-fi has always…[Read more]

@scoutfinch180 Ooh, those stories all sound really unique! Something like I’d want to read.
I’ve heard good things about Avatar but haven’t brought myself around to touching it. A little on the mainstream side.
Write comics? I haven’t really thought about doing it, but I think it would be cool if I could write a story for a Webtoon sometime; I…[Read more]

(Oh looks like left align failed :P)
@scoutfinch180 To Kill a Mockingbird is a great book. I really loved it when we read it.
Yeah, I mainly read classics and manga. Not really in the mood for anything else.
Do you have any other story ideas/projects that you’ve worked on or want to work on?

@gracie-j Rainan would give money to a crazy uncle if he had one. He doesn’t really care for money and besides, most of the charities, if there were any, would probably be out to get him.
@nova21 I don’t think any of my characters own a castle…if they did it would have gotten destroyed long ago. As Hoen has already basically built his manor…[Read more]

Man, I could use some of your confidence. XD I usually have the opposite problem. I sometimes get so down about my writing abilities that it discourages me from writing.
Well, out of all the mistakes to make, jumping into to writing super early isn’t a bad one to do! At least starting before ready is better than not…[Read more]

@r-m-archer Pebble falls asleep whenever, wherever, so he would probably go with the first. Eleven hates bothering with things, though, so probably the latter.
Would your character rather switch bodies with their love interest or their rival/worst enemy?

@lewilliams Calloway already stays at home all the time. A certified neet, he is.
Would your character rather sleep for a hundred years or be awake for 10 days in a row working?

@kathleenramm Probably thinking that my writing was good, lol. My child brain had no concept of what good writing actually was. Gotta say nowadays I feel like I’m falling into the same trap. I have to constantly remind myself to keep the pride down and be humble.

@gracie-j Jonah is the type to blow them off, definitely.
@r-m-archer Lonny will take the Amazon and conquer it.
If your character is in a love triangle which one would they rather pick?
