@godlyfantasy12 Hmm. I’ll have to check those out sometime. Thanks for the recommendations!

@godlyfantasy12 The only series I can remember from Hyperion is Percy Jackson but I don’t think anyone important died in Book 2…

(And I don’t even get attached to secondary characters they’re more like third-tier or sixth-tier or something…ahhh)

To be honest if I start liking a character and they don’t die at some point then I start getting…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 I like a lot of different genres of music, haha.

Writing music? Falling Up has an album called “House Full of Caverns” that was made to be writing music, so I recommend that to anyone who sees this.

Oh yeah, give me some songs! I’d love to find new music.

@godlyfantasy12 As a person whose favorite characters in regular books is always that one really minor villain who gets killed off real fast, I can relate.

What I am about to say only applies true for my main series which I am working on. Not anything else.

See, I have so many characters for this one, and I switch POVs so many times, and the…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Camreigh, a time traveler, would rather not travel at all. But Reve would want tot ravel to the past.

(And don’t worry about not knowing characters; no one knows mine and I know no one’s XD)

Would your character rather swim for 5 miles or run for 10 miles?

@godlyfantasy12 Ooh, art! I used to do that, but now I have no time…I’d love to get back into it though.

Listening to music is great! What are your favorite authors/songs?

McDonald’s Chocolate Chip Cookies? I did not know they sold those. I’ll have to keep an eye out for them. However, I enjoy Chicken McNuggets way too much for fast food.

@gracie-j Most of my characters probably can’t swim very well, so… Those with water powers would choose the sea monster, those with dragon powers would choose the dragon, and those who have neither will choose based off of how well they can swim.

(Did my…did my previous post not post? What? Now I have to do this all over again…)

Okay.…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Oh, I see. Unfortunately ideas aren’t copy-righted (as long as they’re super vague, like “a nobody boy gets chosen to save whole place from evil person”) but the specifics are yours.

So what do you like to do? Any hobbies (besides writing)?

@kathleenramm Cookies? Where?

@godlyfantasy12

Hi! I’m Kathleen and it’s awesome to have you in the Kingdom of Pen!

I can totally relate. The first novel was definitely the hardest. But once I finally finished it, writing became so much easier. (There’s something about the first novel that is particularly difficult).

If you don’t mind answering, what’s the premise of your…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Porcupines for Barrett. He’d rather be in pain than be around something smelly.

Also, he’d rather edit my books. He likes to make things better than they were.

@gracie-j

He’d take all the revenge. And then some.

@e-k-seaver

Barrett would much rather be killed by his worst enemy. He would never hurt his best friend.…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Of course! We talk about our ideas all the time, and I don’t think anyone’s stolen anything yet. At least, I hope not. Most of us would be too busy with our own stuff to steal other ideas, anyway. Also, I think that you own the copyright to your books. At least, you should.

This place is really great as far as writing communities…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Ey, welcome to the forum! I think we’re called…*mind goes blank*…uh…Kapeer? Um…I’m ashamed to not know this, but maybe someone can come along and tell me.

Ooh, large fantasy series! Just like me! I hope you tell us about it sometime!

You use too many parentheses? That’s totally fine! Just look at how many ellipses I’m…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm That’s pretty similar to my method! My cultures tend to be mashups of different real-world cultures and other unique details I want to include. Often I’ll center them around one or two core values, too, either from the get-go or as I develop them further.

My earlier worlds were heavily based on Medieval European tropes, since…[Read more]

Sooooo many. I have no fewer than 80 story ideas on my list. BUT, since I have to pick one… I read Love and the Sea and Everything in Between by Brian McBride a few months ago and loved the overall tone/feel of it. Between that and other aesthetic things I accumulated around the same time, I decided I really want to write a contemporary novel…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Ooh, I’ll have to use that term from now on. A bit more positive.

So happy to think they’re creative! I hope if they do exist someday people will read them…

@kathleenramm It involves two characters who are basically in a love square because they don’t realize each other’s secret identities. I’ve heard it’s quite amazing.

@gracie-j

Rom-coms aren’t usually my taste, but Lady Samantha sounds really interesting. Her dressing up as a maid to spy sounds totally up my alley. XD

Yeah, your probably right. I’ve read like, umm… ZERO romances, so no wonder they seem hard to write.

Woah. The Daughters of the Seven Seas series sounds like a really fun, interesting, but…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

No, haven’t. But if does secret identities well, I may have to…

@gracie-j Thanks for all the tips! I really appreciate it!

(Also me: *looks at Weebly*)

Also both of your sites look really good! I’m quite impressed!

@gracie-j Since the time periods that I want to write don’t really have books (or the right type of books) for them, Wikipedia is my trusty friend. I will always rely on Wikipedia.

And I probably will go into historical fiction someday. Thanks for the encouragement; I don’t mind long paragraphs. I’ll just get through all these story ideas…[Read more]
