Haha no, definitely not weird!! I love thinking of my stories as a movie, which is kind of similar. I’ve actually taken some directing/filmmaking classes online because of this…but that might also just be because I love movies and visual storytelling XD

Cool cool. It’s rare to find friends that you hang out with in both online and offline.
Newt and Minho are also my favorite characters from the Maze Runner Series! However that’s just from me watching the movies, I’m not sure if my answer would change if I read the books.
I highly recommend reading The Hunger Games especially if you…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel I’m so late!! My notifications haven’t been working on KP, apparently…
I love your covers! The compositions are great and the details are so cool! It’s super hard making a good cover…I don’t have any for my WIPs at the moment but when I do I’ll put them up here. This is such a cool idea and space to share our covers! 🙂

@autumn-rebecca
Hi! Welcome to KP! It’s lovely to have you!Firstly I must ask you, do you have any favorite books or authors? Also, what got you into writing?
It’s awful that you are unable to access a library. Are you unable to access libraries because they are not in your area or is there some other reason? It must make it hard to ever read…[Read more]

I love this poem! I think it’s beautiful and emotional, perfect for a captive to sing.

@annabelle Sure thing! And that’s so cool about all the fashion stuff. Your story sounds really interesting!
I totally get that about Psalms. It is poetic and emotional, I really like it for that reason.
It’s so nice to meet you! Hope to see you around the forums 🙂

Jodi Maile replied to the topic Hello!! in the forum Start HERE 2 years, 10 months ago
@annabelle Hey there! Welcome to the Kingdom! My name is Jodi. I write fantasy, historical fiction, and dystopia. I’ve been doing one short story a month for about the past eight months, but I’ve recently started working on a novella-length project. I’m also co-writing a fantasy/mystery book with my sister.
That’s so cool that you’re about to…[Read more]

Oh, yes! I do know Joelle! Was she the one who told you about KP or was it the other way around? I highly recommend writing a story with her. Writing stories with someone is a very unique experience, and the stories often are twice as good as they would have been if you were writing by yourself as you can fill in for each other’s…[Read more]

Jodi Maile replied to the topic What's something you wish you knew when you first started writing? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 11 months ago
@kathleenramm Many, many things. I wish I’d known how to format dialogue properly, I wish I’d known that I didn’t need to follow every single piece of writing advice I’d ever seen to the letter, and most importantly, I wish I’d realized that characters are what make a story interesting. Plot does as well, but it is secondary to the emotional pull…[Read more]

What’s something you wish you knew when you first started writing?
Something I wish I knew when I first started writing was that the more I focus on characters, the easier it is to write an interesting plot.If I would have known this it would have saved me from a lot of headaches. Whenever I first started writing stories I would get so caught up…[Read more]

Ah, that’s really cute!
It’s really cool how your friend inspired you to start writing seriously, do they write as well? If so have you ever thought of writing a story together?
I started writing around seven or eight. Two of my older siblings wrote (and still write), which inspired me a lot. Plus, after multiple failed attempts at…[Read more]

@avacoulter Nice! My favorite Avenger is definitely Iron Man, but I also love Spider-Man 🙂

@avacoulter Thank you!! It’s fun to write with her, we’ve been writing together for years but have never published anything together. Hopefully this project will be the one! That’s cool that you have so many siblings! I have three of them myself 🙂 If you ever need another beta reader, feel free to let me know! I’d be happy to help 😀
Yeah it’s…[Read more]

@avacoulter I have one WIP I’m working on with my sister! It’s a fantasy/mystery that takes place in a medieval-style city. The story follows two women as they uncover things about the mystery individually until their storylines intersect and they join forces to stop a big political coup from happening. We were initially inspired by old buddy cop…[Read more]

@avacoulter Ahh your WIP sounds so interesting! I like the Maze Runner too!! I’ve only read the first book but I’ve seen all the movies with my sister.
Yeah lyrics are pretty distracting, I can’t focus on writing at all with lyrics playing in the background XD

Kathleen replied to the topic What Kind of Writing do You Excel at? in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 11 months ago
Hhhmmm… Good question. I think my writing excels most when I’m working with my 3 siblings.
It kinda goes like someone has a spark of an idea, someone adds fuel to it, and then another waves the flame into a blaze.
Well, on good days that is. Most of the time we get side tracked and end up having an hour long conversation about how…[Read more]

I’m about the same as you when it comes to Tolkien’s discography. Read the Hobbit, and the Silmarillion is on my to-read list. My brother highly recommends it, and I probably will soon once I actually read it, haha.
Thanks for the recs! I’ll definitely check them out.
How old were you when you started writing and what made you begin?
