Alexa Autorski replied to the topic What are the 1st three things your MC says? in the forum Characters 4 years, 7 months ago
Ooh, interesting! I think that dialogue fits super well for Dylan, especially since the lines are short. That goes well with his strong-willed personality, in my opinion! As for mine… they’re kinda short, so… XD
MC is Felicity, who is (also) strong-willed, stubborn, and tough, though she’s secretly quite caring.
1) “Huh.” (I know,…

*rubs hands together* Yup, I’m sure there’s been a topic about this already, but I’m starting a new one because I
am totallytoo lazy to searchwanted to ask… how do y’all get over writer’s burnout? *dun dun dun* So after finishing my novel, Last of Her Kind, the author side of me has been feeling super bummed about what I write and I’ve just be…[Read more] -
Lin replied to the topic How do you continue a character arc in a series? in the forum Plotting 4 years, 7 months ago
@nova21 I like this idea! Unfortunately I never plot out my character arcs so I can’t help you with that. Best of luck, though. I believe one time someone told me that an overarching theme for a series + individual themes for each book is good, so I think that could work the same with arcs. Maybe for the next book focus on something more…[Read more]

@nova21 Your WIP sounds cool! My WIP is sci-fi, it is just about a big war. Thanks for the advice!

Anatra replied to the topic How do you continue a character arc in a series? in the forum Plotting 4 years, 7 months ago
Maybe during the course of the series there could be a goal he’s striving to achieve. I know it’s getting home, but will the getting home stretch over the whole thing, or just one book? If it’s a single book, then maybe give him a larger goal, like to find the meaning of what it’s like to know you’re loved, but make it a development that…[Read more]

the only part I still like about that story is Bacon, he was a good bear that shall live on in my memory for a future story lol

Daisy Torres replied to the topic How do you continue a character arc in a series? in the forum Plotting 4 years, 7 months ago
@nova21 First off, can I just say I love that idea for a story??? I would totally read that!!
A few weeks ago, I actually had an idea come to me about ending book one and starting book two. It’s like doing a gradient in painting. You want each book to have it’s own color, but the end of book one needs to be blending into the ‘color’ of book…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic What's the weirdest story you've ever written? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 7 months ago
That story is actually amazing. The creativity is unmatched.
Who else write a story where the population is turning into vegetables?
Now I’m curious about how all these characters fit together in one story.
Also, chocolate covered raisins are underrated.
I actually laughed out loud reading…[Read more]

Elfwing replied to the topic How do you continue a character arc in a series? in the forum Plotting 4 years, 7 months ago
well i like it!! the idea is very cool and sounds like you have an amazing story in the making!
I’d say you could probably continue his lie through the series as long as you have a way for it to be easily triggered, and words can do that. If he believes/believed he’s unloved, there would be insecurity. When people are insecure, comments…[Read more]

Kayleigh Idea replied to the topic How do you continue a character arc in a series? in the forum Plotting 4 years, 7 months ago
Thanks for the tag! In my opinion, you should have one character arc for each book. That doesn’t mean your character has to be perfect in that area after the story, but the arc should be resolved by the end as it’s more satisfying. I hope that helps!

Precious Y replied to the topic Hi guys in the forum Start HERE 4 years, 7 months ago
I’m relatively new to science fiction writing but I’m really getting into the genre. Your WIP sounds great and mine is really similair on a basic level.
1. My main characters (It’s going to be a multi POV novel) are minorities at an elite academy in an alternate reality. I’m really excited to start exploring their cultures and histories.…[Read more]

@nova21 so I have actually launched but the reason I haven’t told anyone on KP is because there’s a formatting issue in red to get fixed and need to talk to my mom about a comment section, but when that happens I’ll share the link on here

Hello, fellow Kapeefers! *waves awkwardly*
So, I am actually still alive. I know that my past messaging history seems to indicate that I fell off the face of the planet, but I am still very much here. However, over the summer, I entered the world of adulthood and got a job. Between that and 4H, I haven’t had a whole lot of spare time for…[Read more]-
Hey Lydia! Welcome back! And oof, I know, right? Life seems to get so busy the older you get…

@lydia-s Hi, Lydia!!! Congrats on entering adulthood!!!🥳 I hope you’ve been having a great summer!!!!!

Thanks! I just wish it would’ve happened AFTER I turned 18… *moans* lol 😛
It’s been going well! Incredibly busy though. How about you?-

Oh wait. Maybe I’m reading this wrong. XD *facepalm*

(Since it seems I can’t edit that comment, I figure this is the next best option) That sentence made sense in my head but not so much in real life… Gonna rephrase it… *facepalm*
I wish I would’ve entered adulthood after turning 18… Unfortunately, it happened at 16. Getting a job was a jerk into reality. 😛-
@lydia-s Oof, I know, adulthood comes just too fast.😜
My summer’s been great!! I’ve been swimming a good bit and really enjoying it!! 🙂-

Agreed!
Oh, awesome! Glad you’ve been having a good summer. 😀

Hi! I’ve been great! Just way too busy. 🙂
I hope you found a name for your character, btw. It can be so hard to find the perfect name sometimes. 🙁
So, a Kapeefer is something from the old KP Cinema videos (if you go to the video archives, they’re one page back). It stands for ‘Kingdom Pen fan,’ like Keeper, but with an ‘f’ because of…[Read more]-
Cool. And if you mean my dragon character, yes I found a name for her! Someone suggested Spark, and I liked it so I ran with it.

I have names for her cousins too: Torrent, Rifle, Crossfire, and Silverstar….note that I use a lot of natural stuff….Oh, and she has a brother, Ember.

Ooo, awesome names! The dragon in my fantasy WIP is named Ember, too. 🙂

Secret identities are so fun right? Do you have a particular character with a secret identity in a story you’ve written most?

Oh, I too quite enjoy the…[Read more]

@hallie-jean Thanks for the kind words! I also only dabble in poetry, here and there, once a blue moon (I “might” have chosen my best ones for my grand entry 🙄(Have to make a good impression right!)).
