@freedomwriter76 I write them when I have time and inspo, heh.

Here’s one for like the last novel I was working on last year:

@freedomwriter76 I make playlists occasionally for short stories if I’m feeling bored, or just add songs I think fit with a novel to a playlist to eventually sort out, heh. I think they’re somewhere on Spotify? I’d share if anyone wants t see em.

Hey Sam!

Yeah, KP Critiques has been put on hold. Mainly because, to put it blatantly, my sister was the one doing critiques but she moved on to other things, so we currently don’t have anyone able to critique work at the moment.

Though I do know that some people here on the forum who like to critique each others’ stories so…[Read more]

@samuel-p-robbins I was so confused seeing my message on here lol.

@kathleenramm Honestly I really like how well everything’s tying together for it (plot, themes, character, worldbuilding, backstory, etc etc). Probably my most structured novel yet? I’m enjoying the single POV and small cast of characters, a nice change of pace from my usual big casts, as well as structuring internal and external conflict to all…[Read more]

@jodi-maile I know I wrote an article about online publishing for @gracie-j sometime last year, hopefully you can find it here in the first issue: https://skysthelimitpress.wixsite.com/home/the-journal

@kathleenramm Complex. The more complex the possible. I don’t want to know what’s gonna happen. At least when reading.

Writing…hhh I want to get good at complex storylines.

@annabethkatherinewingfeather

Ooo, yeah. I feel like Harry Potter would be one of those series so many people would love to read for the first time again. Especially because it’s really nostalgic for a lot of people as well. It’d be kinda like reliving a piece of your childhood.

@madelyn

Narnia would be so fun to read for the first time again!…[Read more]

Oh, that’s you! Cool! (I’m a bit slow to connect accounts across platforms sometimes, lol.)

If something else is working better and you’re enjoying it more, there’s nothing wrong with focusing on that for a while. A blog, like any other platform, is meant to serve you. If it’s not doing that yet, maybe it’s not a good fit, maybe it’s not a…[Read more]

@kathleenramm The 20th Century Boys manga series. I want to experience the suspense and emotions of the whole series, trying to find out who Friend is…

@emilysf

Awesome!

Well, yeah, I tend to be around quite a few people with opposing worldviews. Though it usually ends up with far more conflict and split paths than heroic character arcs that inspire the people around them, haha.

@emilysf

I think it’s great that you have a character that displays what the end of the MC’s character arc will be, so maybe for your students it could be the opposite of that. They could be the resistance to the MC’s character arc.

They would demonstrate different world views on the theme of “changing the world for the better”, Which would…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

From what I see from age gaps, I think it’s more about the stage person is at in life rather than the actual number of years. (Though, the number of years is important too)

Like a fifteen-year-old dating, a twenty-year-old is a lot different than a twenty-year-old dating a twenty-five-year-old.

One is perfectly fine, the other…[Read more]

@madelyn
I really like allegories that are subtle. Where the story alone stands strong by itself and the allegory just adds a layer of depth and core themes.

Mainly because, if the story I am reading is very obviously an allegory, all I can think about is the story its an allegory of instead of the story itself, which gets in the way of me…[Read more]

@valtmy Change all the races of my characters for the sake of diversity (though idk why they would my MC is Asian), adding a love triangle (or three), change the ending (by making it happy isntead of vague and tragic and open), and adding a lot more daddy issues than I originally intended there to be.
