Lydia, here. 🙂 So, I thought it’d be fun to start an inspiration exchange thread!

This is a place where we can all dump interesting photos or dialog prompts we happen to find or come up with, and it’s also somewhere where we can resort to if we need inspiration! Post as many prompts/pictures as you’d like, but please make sure they…[Read more]

JK. Anyway, I had this idea a while back to make this post where we could come here and talk about our WIPs and MAJOR SPOILERS AND PLOT TWISTS THAT WE ARE SOO EXCITED ABOUT AND HATE HAVING TO KEEP SECRET FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY WITHOUT HAVING TO DISCLAIMER IN THE POST!!

Thus this forum was…[Read more]

It’ll actually be for two separate projects. One is a middle-grade contemporary novel, and the other is a YA fantasy. If you’re up for helping me brainstorm, either (or both!) need work, so anyone who can, pretty much? I’ll give the tags here, and then put…[Read more]

The problem is, I don’t get out much. Honestly, I’m pretty picky about what I read, so modern secular works are very rarely added to the list, and I am pretty clueless about what’s actually on the shelves. I know I…[Read more]

But my next project is a middle-grade novel featuring a 12-year-old MC who gets herself into all sorts of scrapes.

The problem is, I’m not naturally a humorous writer. It’s something I’m trying to work on in this story, true, but a very not funny writer…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon Yeah, totally!

@nanisnook ANOTHER series we both love?! Wow, that’s crazy! (You do remember the long conversation we had about Warriors, The Bad Batch, and Loki, right?)

Thanks! I don’t think we’ve met before, but I really love your cover picture. That’s such a cute art style!

To give you a bit of background information, my main character (Emeric Dertok) has recently come back into society after eight years of living the life of a hermit. He’s working for the King (Jornan), who charged him with the task of tracking down spies trying to sabotage the government. But as enters…[Read more]

Basically, NANOWRIMO stands for National November Writing Month, and it’s where writers all over the world set a goal (usually about 50k words, but it can be whatever you want) to get in before the end of November! Some writers work on old projects, some create a whole new book,…[Read more]

This will be my first year to actually ‘try’ try. I dabbled in it one other year, but didn’t get past the first week XD Why does it have to be during one of the craziest months of the year??

The premise I have so far (for the first book anyway, I might make it a series):

Torrent Starcatcher has had a hard life.

She was born into a universe in turmoil; the violent dictator Indy has been in control since before…

@scripter-of-kingdoms Do you like dragons and that kind of thing?

1. To be honest whenever I come up with new ideas I just add them halfway through and then later go back and add them in the beginning. Saves a bit of time.

2. Totally! Usually my chapters are 6 and a half pages, sometimes they’re 13.

Welcome back! So good to see you again! 😀 <333

I think it’d prob be easiest to go back to the beginning and add them in from there. 🙂

Yes, that’s totally okay! I know mine average from (…lemme go check…) anywhere from eight to 1/4 a page, depending on the book. (I think some of it also depends on the POV, whether it’s…[Read more]

By email would be great!! Thanks!

Honestly, I might just go back (if you’re working in a Word/Google doc) and put some comments in the places where I want to add those ideas. But if they are huge things that affect everything in…[Read more]

I think you should go back and add the ideas in. You may forget later on which will result in a “lopsided” draft, so it’s usually best for me if I go back XD *cough* but also I’m terrible at going back and adding in so don’t mind me *cough*

As a reader, I can usually…[Read more]

I, personally, would go back and add those things. You don’t want to forget about it and not add it in! So ngl I’d prob just do that.

Also, it is 100% okay for chapters to be different lengths. My chapters range from 6 or 7 pages to more than like twelve sometimes. It’s totally fine! 🙂 Every author writes differently!

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in reading the first chapter of The Inventor’s Daughter! This is my first time asking for a critique so it’s pretty exciting! Let me know and I can share it by email. I would like it to be read before Friday afternoon if not that’s ok!

God bless!

I joined the Kingdom Pen forum back in December and made a few appearances, but I only just now got around to introducing myself!

Writing has been a passion of mine for a long time, but Kingdom Pen was really the place that encouraged me to get serious about it. About 4 years ago, I began reading the articles, stories, and poetry― as w…[Read more]

I just recently finished the first draft of The Art of Deception, which is a clean sci-fi. No bad words, fairly mild violence.

That being said, I’m looking for readers who are willing to read through a messy first draft and pinpoint spelling errors, plot holes, things that don’t make sense, etc. Any feedback/thoughts are needed…[Read more]

I think I liked the first book the best, when everyone was together. But I also loved the battle for the shire at the end of the third. The books were sooo different from the movies, which is all I had ever seen. I think I prefer the books, but I like being able to give faces to the characters from the moives.
