Those bookmarks are simply beautiful! I love how you were able to format their original collages into bookmarks and still be equally as stunning.

I love this topic:) Many years ago, I used to think that I couldn’t serve God by writing unless I only wrote sermons (Narnia helped me with that one), but there is a great article on KP called: Three Ways to Write Christian Fiction For a Secular Audience.
I agree, how as writers, our stories can alter lives. -

Hi! You can call me Abigail and I may be a little late saying ‘welcome!’… but anyway, welcome!
My favorite books are: The Bible, Dark Horse, Narnia and a huge assortment of others. I could go on for a while, but I should get to work on my ‘to read’ list:)

So first off, I completely understand your dilemma. In fact, it has been one of my top (if not my number one) problem that I face a writer.
I had a novel that I’d been working on for six months. It was a fantasy and I had had my pen pal and a few relatives beta reading it for awhile. I was getting a little winded in writing it, w…[Read more]

Abigail.M. replied to the topic Writing First Chapters… in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 10 months ago
Oh and btw, I completely understand about writing a first chapter that seems awful. I’m rewriting my novel and I’m basically starting from the second chapter, because every time I attempt chapter #1, it always comes out terrible.

Your first chapter outline is extremely interesting!
Kingdom Pen has a really great article that has helped me a lot and covers just about everything on first chapters that I can think of:Write The Perfect First Chapter | The Ultimate First Chapter Checklist, by Kathleen and Erin Ramm.

With WIPs, I usually have one that is my main focus (where I put all my resources, researching, energy, etc into) then I have a few that I work on when I need a break from my main WIP. This method might not be for everyone, but it’s worked very well so far.

Welcome to Kingdom Pen! It’s great to have another KeePer here:) I’ll have to check out Scribble Society, it’s hard to find good writing resources, but if your looking to finish a first draft, NaNoWriMo has a great method.
Welcome:)

Bulletin:
(Ooh I love that, it sounds so official) I plan on posting a daily (or weekly) writing quote here.
If that sounds like an annoyance, speak up now because you probably won’t be able to stop me once I start rolling;)
Temporary disclaimer: My internet connection will be on and off for the next week, so the times that I post will vary.
