Kathleen started the topic Have you ever pantsed a novel? in the forum Plotting 3 years, 2 months ago
After reading Grace’s most recent article on pantsing, it got me curious about how many on here are pantsers. And of those who are, if you have any techniques or tips you use to keep your story in order and not coming out as a complete mess haha. XD
I’m more of a meticulous planner, but I’m considering pantsing a short story so I’m looking for…[Read more]

I love board games!  My little bro and me have a Memory rivalry (which isn’t rlly a board game).

@lewilliams I just looked up the Keeper of the Lost Cities series and it sounds really interesting. How are the characters? (I’m seriously considering ordering yet another book from the library lol)
That’s been happening a lot lately to me too recently. I used to stick up my nose to classics because I thought they were dull and…[Read more]

That’s interesting. It would be cool to look back through the book to find what exactly it was missing that made you unable to connect. That’s what I love to do when I read a book I don’t like. Pinpoint everything little thing that made me dislike it. It really helps me out with my writing.
Ooo, what book was the best book you’ve read…[Read more]

@joy-caroline this is right up my alley, girl! I LOVE parallel characters with different arcs!!!!!!! ❤ Keziah sounds AH-MAZE-ING! I just *internally squeals* love her already.
Like @godlyfantasy12 said, I mentioned some things corresponding to this on her “Making my antagonist likeable/believable” topic. To echo that, I’ll just cut and pas…[Read more]

@imwritehere1920 your website is adorable! SOOO cute! And of course, so is your bunny XD

Hi Ella! Thanks so much visiting! Glad you like it.
Aww, thanks! We have wild bunnies in our backyard and we feed them during the summer. Sometimes, if you hold really still, and squat down low, they’ll come close enough to take their picture! 🙂 Do you have any wildlife around your house?-
That’s awesome! I love trying to take pics of wildlife (but it can be pretty frustrating bc most animals don’t appreciate it 😉) I live in the south so we get a lot of reptilian things… XD Snakes, lizards, even scorpions! Not as cute as bunnies, but still pretty interesting. XD In the mornings on my way to school I often see deer too. And…[Read more]

Haha! My mom got a camera awhile back and has been trying to take pictures of our hummingbirds. Yeah, if only wildlife would cooperate!
We live out in the country, so we see snakes and lizards too. One four foot gopher snake just slithered by like nobody’s business, and weirdly, two quail were marching behind him …. why? Not sure 🤷…[Read more]
-
That’s so cool! That’s hilarious, quail marching behind him? LOL! I know, scorpions are just… freaky. I found a dead one in our pool and I didn’t go in for about a week! XD I don’t think I’ve been able to get a pic of deer bc it’s basically “ooo, look, a deer!” and everyone’s like “where?” then I’m like “nevermind, it’s gone.” XD I will…[Read more]

Yikes! I know, right? One time, I went to our bedroom closet, turned, and BOOM! One was sitting there on the wall! I heard a pastor refer to scorpions as sneaky. Yep. Definitely sneaky!
Haha! Yeah, it’s like that in our family. We’ll be driving along, someone sees a deer, and by then it’s gone. I hope you get that picture someday!
Cool!…[Read more]

Oh that’s terrifying! Thanks 😉
Awesome! My favorite subject last year was geometry and this year I’m really looking forward to biology. I didn’t have a great experience in my literature class but I think this year will be great.

Hey @akbaer ! Sorry I’m late… Welcome to KP! I am Ella and I love writing dystopian fiction, drinking tea, playing sports, and drawing flowers. And I have an irrational fear of falling into the murky river near our house. *cough* *smiles, wondering if we can still be besties* XD

Ooo, that sounds really cool. The vibe sounds like something I’d definitely be into.
Did you have any favorite characters in the book?
Animal behaviour books? Is there a reason, or do you just like to learn about animals? I’m intrigued haha. XD
Oof. Yeah, pretty much every story hinges on the characters. If I don’t…[Read more]

There are some surprisingly good Star Wars books out there. Like better than the movies good.
A negative character arc? Man, I now have to order it from the library now. XD
Have you read any other Star Wars books or was Lost Stars your first?

This guy sounds fascinating! His backstory is awesome, and he sounds like a genuine character. For likeability, you could:
1)Â Give the MC and Ridley something in common (a hobby, a genre of music, a favorite food, etc)
2) like @elfwing said, moments of vulnerability. That would make the reader open up to him really fast…[Read more]

What’s the most recent book you’ve finished? What did you think of it?
Just last night I finished reading The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I grew up watching the 1993 film adaptation, but have never read the book until now.And I was presently surprised! This is the most I’ve enjoyed a book in awhile. The story is sweet and simple,…[Read more]

Fancy hat competition? I do believe that was with @william-starkey, but were you posing as him during the entire competition?
If so, then it now makes more sense of why it was so easy to beat you. @william-starkey would never wear a hat from Walmart to a fancy hat competition.
Thanks for clearing things up about that.
