Anyway! I have some songs I really like, and they have story potential!

The prompt:

Listen to at least one of these songs, and write a short story with the song as its “soundtrack.” Or pull a scene out of one of your WIPs that fits…[Read more]

idk man, just by characters alone I feel like this is going to be the novel of the year.

Also, I hope nothing bad happens to Harold. He seems like a cool guy.

Unless you’re joking and you have some other faceclaims somewhere.

Oh how lovely 👏🏻👏🏻

😂

I’ve gotta ask though, is Darquavious a real name???

you remind me of an onion…

to be specific The Onion.

 
Assassin black
nose in the sky
with muscles vast
his voice cry “Fie!”
Who’s ravens rage
and thunders roll
fear and fright
fall at his call.

Bane of the books
Featherwig tales
KP trembles
at his hails.
Do not speak
of this yarn
or a sharp shaft
will do you harm.

He shows once more
at our shacks
knocks down the…[Read more]

Welcome back! I also stalked KP for a while before joining, (who hasn’t? XD) and I saw your post about Wing Feather Saga. Unfortunately, I am in love with WFS and nothing, nothing, will change that. 🙂 But I totally see what you mean about parts of it being boring, and Andrew Peterson could’ve done a lot better with…[Read more]

Imma go ahead and warn you now that I’m fairly liable to misunderstand you. 😅

The reason for all of this ravenous inner turmoil, was because of the absence of THE greatest figure in all of Kingdom Pen history. Nor shall there ever be a figure as great ever again.

That person…. is yours truly.

Eh…I think God is t…[Read more]

The Throne-Worthy Dual:

Stroke First: The contestant must be strong. How many push-ups can you do in a row?

Question…do you write? (After all this is a writing forum).  If so what is your preferred genre?
Man, I hope your mirror is something to look at. Or maybe it’s the reflection?

What is your favorite flavor of protein  powder?

Are you a LOTR fan? If so, I am posti…[Read more]

Tis not wise to let just anyone claim the throne of Kingdom Pen without making him prove his worth.

HEAR YE, HEAR YE!

Why hello.

Glad you decided to come back, although I must disagree about the wingfeather saga with you. And all 7 of my mc’s will run to protect me if you try anything of the sort. Everly’s scary good with a bow. Beware.

I will heartily agree with anyone who says the first book is terrible, I read it out of…[Read more]

Tis not wise to let just anyone claim the throne of Kingdom Pen without making him prove his worth.

*waltzes in*

In the ages long ago when I stalked KP, I came upon your post about the Wingfeather Saga, and believed every word. Now whenever I am barraged with WS love, I just smile and let it pass. I even tried convincing my brother that they weren’t all they were cracked up to be. (He didn’t believe me.)I’m not…[Read more]

And if you search down deep in the crevices of the KP archives, you just might discover a blurry picture of the assassin. Like Big Foot and the Loch Ness Monster the @not-so-secret-secret-assassin was/is very elusive.

Before I joined this forum I was a mega stalker and after randomly reading one of the assassin’s posts (just ONE), I…[Read more]

Lol, that was really funny.

(Hello! I do not believe I’ve met you, this topic just seemed interesting.)

Picking up another hobby and another one fading happens to me all the time, I end up on some type of rotation of hobbies eventually. I personally have not had your experience, but I rock climb sometimes. Maybe…[Read more]

(very confused)

umm… not to be insensitive or anything but is this a joke/satire/allegory mostly just because my geeky brain doesn’t seem to be able to comprehend the fact that you can’t write because you have big muscles. Also, this is just giving me unreliable flags…

I might suggest stretching…

Okay so just a pre-note to this post- I see you probably aren’t going to continue with the series, so I’m going to talk about this a little more freely than some would. I’m not straight up spoiling at all, but proceed with caution. I make a few hints here and there. I think it might be necessary for you in order…[Read more]

I’ve never read (or even heard of) The Wingfeather Saga, but what you’re telling me it doesn’t sound that good, but if someone likes it, then they like it.

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

I did my first mood board and it’s actually kinda good?? Dunno who’s read HP or not but he’s a character who’s mentioned and your learn a bit about but he died way before the books start.

BTW, I want to clarify I don’t mean anything snarky or judgmental by my last paragraph. It was intended to be solely factual. Just in case it came across wrong. XP

It was not my intention to leave this for two months before responding… Sorry for the delay. XP

Peterson’s writing improved significantly throughout the series. Is it disappointing that the hook isn’t his best work? Sure. But short of him backtracking to rewrite the entire first book so that it’s on par with…[Read more]

You guys like Super Smash Bros too? And Zelda Breath of the Wild?

Yay! I love both those games!

A bunch of different anime too. I recently binged K-On.

*cues the high-pitched screams*

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]

So as of rn my second book in fantasy series, (the second book is Project DM) has a looong poem in it. I have just gone back and revised the poem and when I finished I was kinda blown away ngl, and I really like it so I wanted to share it with y’all! So this is kinda a…[Read more]

I’m so thrilled to share this with you guys!

I hope you’ll enjoy the content on it! If any of you want…[Read more]

Brilliant first chapter(and second, I suppose). Riveting. Fast-paced, easily retainable, and entertaining(but plz don’t let it get to your head).

Sheesh, nine-year-olds those days, very desensitized.

I wanna agree with @power on the running sentences, though I think the chapters flowed pretty well together. Not…[Read more]

I’m considering joining the Author Conservatory, and I was interested to know if any of you are in it? If so, what are you thoughts on the program? Things I should know? Pros and Cons? Is there anything you wished you’d known before you joined, but didn’t?

For me, one of the things I’m struggling with is that I have already written…[Read more]

The first book is okay. I enjoy the humor and writing even though the plot is a tad blah. The other three books are great. (Though I was kinda annoyed by the last book because nothing seems to go right!!!…. of course it also binge read the series, so by the time I got to the last book I was physically and mentally…[Read more]

There’s a lot of interesting points in this post and a lot of things relevant to what makes a good story. So I think its awesome that you wrote this, but sadly, I have never read the Wingfeather Saga before, so I cant really give my input here. But now I think I’m gonna have to to see what’s up with this and find…[Read more]

I actually read the second book first because it was the one we happened to have. I later checked the rest out from the library; therefore, I didn’t have enough time to actually analyze them or anything. Personally, I think that they are good books if you read through them at a decent pace and aren’t trying to…[Read more]

Well then, I’ll take back the cross out ‘cause most comedians probably could take a couple lessons from you.
No problem, I love giving anyone and everyone that Yoda quote (like. All. The. Time.) XD Anyway, that IS a dilemma, but sadly I can’t help you too much there. I haven’t been on KP for a while, (I try to stop…[Read more]

That post you wrote is awesome! And is actually very helpful, (probably more so than several articles out there), so even though it was written for the awesome writer Elanor, I just wanted to say that it was very good and actually inspired me to write an escape scene for my current novel!

I’m a tad bit late to the party, but um… here I am.

I tried reading The Wingfeather Saga a few months ago because I thought the cover was pretty epic and a lot of people on the forum liked it, but ummm…

I couldn’t finish it. And for pretty much all the reasons you listed in your essay. I can see why people…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver has a point. You can like or dislike whatever book series you want.

Also, I think the dragons come into play more during the second book, and then they come in even more in the third and fourth.
