@denali-christianson Heheh sci-fi in medieval fantasy is honestly better than regular ol’ medieval fantasy. It’s really quite overdone.

And yah I did ballet instead of figure skating but they’re kinda similar so yeah

It’s probably a pretty even split for story ideas. For writing ideas in general, talking with people definitely wins; I get tons of ideas for blog posts and the like when I have discussions. And if I’m fleshing out a story idea I already have, it often helps to talk it out with someone else (whether they contribute ideas or simply serve as a…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Hmm I’m not used to brainstorming with others but sometimes I’ll brainstorm if I’m really really stuck, usually I prefer to get ideas from everywhere around me and letting it simmer in my head into something coherent. Maybe because I’m not used to telling other people about my ideas XD And they’ll probably not understand the end vibe I want.

@denali-christianson Aw haha thanks! Yeah, I’ve been ghosting the KP forum a lot lately, idk why. Busy writing, I ‘spose.

Hmm, short stories and novels are probably my favorite, and if it’s a mix of fantasy and crime and time travel or something mind-bending it’s really fun, haha.

Oh, you know, I decided to follow in the sensible path of a…[Read more]

@unsung Heyy nice to meet you Elfwing’s friend! I’m Linyang, though you can call me Lin. Welcome to KP!

@denali-christianson Heyy! Been too long since I’ve welcomed somewhere on here, seems like I’ll have to remake up my typical welcomes.

*ahem*

Hey, I’m Linyang, though most here call me Lin, and I’m a writer of almost all genres and formats!

Bruh, I was tempted to become a movie director once. What kinds of films do you make?

Also, villains yes lez go

@abigail-m

I’ll be praying!

@kathleenramm Yes, definitely! There’s too many to count, haha. But a couple I can remember:

• Bird Song by Florence and the Machine
• Gasoline by Brand New, covered by Falling Up
• Daylight by Northern Abbey

I’ve tried starting some based off of them, but usually I just write down the ideas and keep it for later. Too many ideas, too little time.

@madelyn

Ah yes, right on cue for me today, wanting to write a whole novel with nothing but an idea for the villain. I can feel the general vibe of the thing. I heard a song lyric today that I want to incorporate into the plot. I know nothing else.

I think generally I’ll feel for how long the work will be, like a short story, novella, or novel,…[Read more]

@power

A desk job has never seemed more enticing. I guess my dream of becoming a advertising street sign holder will have to die. Its a so sad, but I must do it for the arts…

But in any sense, thanks for the tips! I will definitely be using them.

As for your question about what rhymes with orange, it’s Sporange. An uncommon, but very real…[Read more]

@emily_d

Welcome back! It’s awesome to have you back!

I don’t know about you, but there is always this fresh sense of excitement when I get back into writing after a break.

Is there anything in particular you are excited about with getting back into writing?

@e-k-seaver

Yeah, sometimes the site flags stuff for no reason, but I checked it out and was able to approve your posts! If it’s still not showing up for you, just let me know.

@e-k-seaver Maybe the links the forum is finding sus? I’d try to post the links in a post below it.

@kathleenramm I feel like I usually plan for characters to be a little more reserved but they end up being more extraverted to keep the story moving along and the scene interesting, haha. I always need a bit more dialogue.

@trahia-the-minstrel

Woah. I thought I had written a lot of sibling relationships, but I can honestly say you’ve beaten me.

And yeah, two friends so close they could be brothers pretty much counts as brothers in my eyes.

Since you have written many brother relationships, have you written any sister relationships in your stories? And if you…[Read more]

@power

This is amazing. I love how you painted such a strong image in just a few lines.

How long have you been writing poetry for? Also, have any tips for a beginner? You know, asking for a friend lol.
