This is such a cool idea! I have self-published my first book this year on Amazon. It’s a children’s book targeted to ages 9-12 called Memory Lane Was Moved. Here is the description:

When eleven-year-old Travis wakes up in a strange room with no memory, he embarks on an adventure of a lifetime. Teaming up with Sadie and her older…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 That sounds like a lot of fun! I wish you luck!

Hmm…after my tests next week I’ll probably spend November working on another idea I had, and hopefully be done with it by the end of December.

@kathleenramm Not really, haha. The closest would be a few days ago when I dreamed I was watching Makoto Shinkai’s new non-existent anime. When I woke up I really wanted to write it down, but I forgot the ending, unfortunately.

@devastate-lasting

Haha, I never imagined someone could get story ideas from memes. XD

Oooh, why didn’t I think of dreams? While falling asleep is one of my favorite times to create or play out story ideas. Have you ever gotten a story idea from an actual dream?

@gracie-j

Yes! Lengthy story discussions! I’ve spent hundreds of hours with my…[Read more]

@gracie-j Ah thank you for your advice! I’ll definitely keep that in mind.

@gracie-j You have sisters who want you to read to them? Can’t relate, haha… Do you have any tips on blogging? I’m currently being tempted by the “blog” button that my website creator has…even though I told myself I wouldn’t…

@gracie-j I’m not sure if I count because I only publish web fiction, haha. I really like this idea.

But in the case that web fiction does count…I’ve posted a short story and a novella on Webnovel so far, and am hoping to work on much longer works some time. You can read basically anything I write for free here….…[Read more]

@gracie-j Though, to be honest, sometimes I’ll pull out some of my more recent (better writing) and I’ll flip randomly to somewhere and start reading, and I actually kind of enjoy that. I usually have no memory of writing whatever it is, and then when a character says something it’ll make me laugh a little. Only the recent ones, though. The old…[Read more]

@princessmk My favorite subject would probably be literature. What about you?

@princessmk I love chocolate chip cookies!

Oh, wow, I can’t believe I haven’t heard of any of these books. My favorites are: The Little Prince, Oliver Twist, East of Eden, My Sweet Orange Tree, Night on the Galactic Railroad, and Fahrenheit 451.

Are you homeschooled, by any chance? We have a lot of homeschoolers here (including myself) 🙂

@princessmk I mean the one you and your sister are writing together. That sounds cool; maybe I should ask my sister if she wants to work on a story together sometime.

What do you like to bake? And what are some of your favorite books?

@godlyfantasy12 Nice haha. I could never do that. I get super embarrassed reading my own stuff out loud, my parents prefer me to talk to them in Chinese, and I’m supposed to be studying most of the time anyway.

I really like the idea stage. It makes me want to write, but unfortunately things get in the way, so that when I actually get around to…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 That sounds like a great plan! It’s so helpful to have family members read through things; I have my sister do mine and she absolutely tears it apart, as all siblings should. She is not happy at the prospect of looking through 52 volumes of stuff. She’ll probably quit by then, tbh.

What’s your favorite point in the writing process?

@kathleenramm Yay! I’ll take a cookie any day!

@godlyfantasy12 I’ll take that tea to go with this cookie 🙂

@gracie-j (It’s because I tell myself I gotta do this before Jesus comes or I die. That’s how I manage to get through everything. Deadlines, scheduling, numbers…I feel like that’s one of the better things about myself.)

Anyway, quality vs quantity! Both are good, but really, the stuff I wrote at the beginning was trash. (And I don’t even want…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Yep, that’s a premise! And woah, seven books? That’s quite the daunting quest you’re on! What made you decide to write seven books for the series?

Lemony Snicket is one of my favorite authors as well! What’s is your favorite books of his? Although I love the Series of Unfortunate Events, my favorite book of his is the last book…[Read more]

@princessmk

A very warm welcome to the KP forum! It’s fantastic to have you!

(If your in the mood, I have some warm pre-holiday hot chocolate if you want any.)

Poetry has been something I’ve wanted to learn more about and experiment with, but I’ve been a little caught up with the many stories I’m writing. XD

How long have you been writing? And…[Read more]

@gracie-j Cool cool. I might stop soon as well.

So for whoever happens to venture here next:

Would your character rather be in the country or the city?

@godlyfantasy12 Ahaha I hate myself for what I make me do  but thank you. It’s nice to have a lot of writing practice. Makes way for bigger and better things.

Yo, I’m sure that the more you write, the better you get! It’s not all about the word count, but logging it sure does help!

@gracie-j Ahem. I feel like I owe an explanation, lol.

It’s not one book. If it was one book I would die. No, it’s 52 volumes divided into 13 series. I started out with the 13 series idea and then decided to keep adding volumes. But 52 is a bit too daunting, so maybe I’ll advertise it as 13 volumes XD.
