I’ve finished the LotR just a couple of days ago, and I’m happy to say that you do not have to worry about me ever disagreeing with your statement.  XD

You’re good at naming characters?!?!?! Oh my yes! I need help!

I’ve been stuck with a character named Barrett. I very much dislike the name, (sorry to all the Barretts out there), but…[Read more]

@michelle

Awesome! Looking forward to it.

@dekreel

I mean, is it possible to write a good first novel? XD

I love drawing as well! Do you ever draw illustrations for your novels?

@morwen

Wow! You were six! I don’t even feel bad that you beat me. XD

Have you loved reading ever since you’ve learned? Or did it take you a while to start enjoying it?

Because although I love reading now, I…[Read more]

@dekreel

Thanks for letting us know! That’s definitely doable, and we’ll get started on that. 🙂

And keep the website suggestions coming! We love getting feedback.

@leon-fleming

Well, your first novel may have been cliche, but at least James Nixon wasn’t a poor farm boy. XD

It’s cool how in your writing today you can still see influences from your past work. But now it’s much more well put together, thought out, and more deeply developed.

What world-building elements do you still have in your fantasy…[Read more]

Manga/anime art style is so fun to draw in!

When you try to draw realistically, a lot more things can go wrong.

*Thinks about all my horribly failed sketches that haunt my dreams at night*

But I still like to sketch in both. It just depends on what drawing mood I’m in.

What do you like to photograph the most?

I like…[Read more]

Congratulation @michelle! And of course I’d love to read it!

Is this the first chapter book you’ve written, or have you written others as well?

@katherine-h

Sounds good! I will read the doc and give you my thoughts and ideas soon!

And great job so far. This will be no easy task, but the language of the Kingdom of Pen will be created slowly but surely!

@merieshenanigans

It’s cool how your characters evolved into other stories!

If I may ask, what do you mean by them being human but not exactly? That sounds very intriguing.

The current project that I’m currently writing the first draft on, I’ve been working on and off on for over four years. I think it’s safe to say I spent probably close to a…[Read more]

I hope I’m not too late to this welcome back party, but errr… WELCOME BACK TO THE FORUM!

I’m the part of the new KP staff, and I’m supposed to be the new forum moderator, but um… well, you can be the judge on whether I’m failing at the job or not… being late to your welcome back party and all.

@devastate-lasting

I’ve always had a fascination with fairy-tale retellings! Have you ever read the Lunar Chronicles? I wouldn’t say it’s the best series out there, but it was definitely the best fairy-tale retelling series that I have read.

How old were you when you wrote it?

@leon-fleming

That is a fantastic way to improve writing style that I must try!

I haven’t heard this advice of mimicking great authors’ writing styles as a way to improve your own, but it makes perfect sense.

What were some of the authors you modeled after?

@leon-fleming

Yeah, style so often overlooked by a lot of writers.

Was there anything particular you did to help improve your writing style? Or was it just a lot of practice and persistence?

@erinramm

I have yet to read the Inheritance Cycle, and I must say, this doesn’t make me any more excited to do so.

@purenostalgia

Oh, yes… Jason. All I remember about him was that he was very forgettable.

Probably the weakest protagonist Riordan has ever written.

@leon-fleming

Alrighty!
