@gracie-j

Thank you so much! I’d really appreciate that:)

@gracie-j

This an incredible idea!
For a while now, I have collected bits and pieces that feel like they ought to be in my story, but I never knew exactly what I could do with them! Yes, if or when I finish it, I’ll definitely share it!

@kathleenramm

Also, such an awesome idea! I’ll probably definitely be making one.

@gracie-j @writerlexi1216

Well the WIP is set in an ancient and nomadic forest. The MC is a young (16 yrs) warrior who is used to adversity and living alone, with the exception of bringing wounded animals to the doctor/healer, when she can’t help the animal herself. But even he lives a fair distance away. As the story progresses, I add a few…[Read more]

@lewilliams

Hi, thanks for the welcome!
No, I haven’t seen the films yet, but I plan to. From what I have heard, they’re very good.

@writerlexi1216

I absolutely love your storyline for Newton and Caira! It sounds like a book I’d want on my bookshelf.

@gracie-j

I totally agree with you about ‘hate-to-love’ romances in stories, they’re awesome. I wish I could fit it in my WIP, but I’m not sure how I’d manage it seeing as how complicated the two characters’ dynamics and…[Read more]

@seekjustice

That’s super awesome! Horses are really great, (responsibility, yes) but really great!

I believe mine is a cross between a quarter horse and welsh, but since she’s a grade horse, it’s hard to tell.
Riding is one of my favorite things to do! I don’t think it’s is one of my horse’s favorite things though. I picked up on that after…[Read more]

@issawriter7

Your welcome! I wish you the best of luck with- well actually you probably don’t even need luck at all. So I wish you the best of writing!

@devastate-lasting

Five books?! I must be behind the times. I will definitely have to look into that, after how good the first three were.

(And admittedly, I haven’t read the original Peter Pan either).

@devastate-lasting

Peter and The Starcatchers was such a great trilogy. When I read the first book, I realized how bad my reading list was lacking in good sea-rollicking tales:) I know that they made a fourth book, ‘The Sword of Mercy.’ It came right after, ‘The Secret of Rundoon,’ but I haven’t read it. And there was another book as well, based…[Read more]

@larchness

For sure. My favorite of the Disney re-make books was, ‘The Curse of Maleficent.’ It’s the story of Sleeping Beauty told through the POV of Maleficent and it was really good. I know they made a movie that it was based on, but I haven’t watched it.

@r-m-archer

I totally agree with you. It’s definitely one of my favorite subplots in stories.

@issawriter7 and @anyonewhoneedsabitofwriterlyinspiration/motivation

My motivation comes from a variety of things. From the intricate designs of nature to little ideas and words I collect in my Writing Journals to the thought that I really can make a change in the world with my work. And of course, Christ. He inspires my work to be worthwhile, by…[Read more]

@GodlyFantasy12

I didn’t see your post, but from the responses, it sounds like you have troubles with scenes sometimes turning our blurry or just not moving along. If I’m wrong, you can ignore the rest of this message.

Whenever my scene is stuck I ask myself, “what is this scene exposed to do?” “What’s its job or place in the story?” If it’s…[Read more]

@larchness

Hi and welcome to Kingdom Pen!
I’m pretty new too, but it’s been awesome here!

That is so cool that your writing a graphic novel. Sadly, the only ones I’ve ever read was the re-making of Anna Sewell’s Black Beauty and also Svetlana Chmakova’s Brave.

If you like swashbuckling kind of tales, Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson’s Peter and…[Read more]

@nova21

Thank you for your advice:) I have done NaNoWriMo, but the quiz looks interesting, I appreciate you bringing that up, it definitely helps!

@godlyfantasy12

Thank you so much for your advice and encouragement, I really appreciate it:) I should get back into my reading habit, I had put it off for a little while, but yes, reading does help writing immensely. And you are right, music is absolutely one of the best fuels for writing.

@seekjustice

Thank you!

I’m neither person for the most part. I had planned on drinking coffee during NaNoWriMo, but surprised myself by making it through the first draft without it:)

As for pets, I have three cats, a few chickens, and a horse (I live on a farm), so pets were kind of inevitable:)

@writerlexi1216

Thank you for your advice, it wasn’t confusing at all and it actually helped me see my plot in a new light! Especially about ‘what ifs.’ I have heard about using that to come up with ideas, but never really thought of it that way before. And that is a great idea, having the love interest actually affect my MC’s goals and being…[Read more]

@KingdomPenWriters.

I’m almost ready to start the second draft of my novel entitled ‘The Snow Warrior’ and (sad but true) after fifty thousand words of writing, I still don’t have a plot. I can’t figure out what my MC’s overall goal is. I mean, I have plenty of subplots, supporting characters, villains, animals, themes, symbols, backstories,…[Read more]
