Your book sounds awesome. It sounds like something I just read on the back of a dust jacket at the book store!

@writerlexi1216

You’re welcome and you are definitely not alone with that struggle.

@writerlexi1216

You are definitely not alone in feeling like your characters seem the same personality-wise. That’s one of my biggest writing problems too.

I know it’s probably not much help with all the other great advice, but sometimes it helps to take a ‘test drive’ with my characters. It has helped me in the past. That is, putting the…[Read more]

Hi! Welcome to Kingdom Pen! (I’m pretty new myself too).

Your novel sounds very interesting, I love seeing teens writing for Christ, which is a reason I joined too. I’m sure you’ll love it here, everyone I’ve met has been awesome.

Welcome to KP:)

@devastate-lasting

Thanks:)

@issawriter7

Thanks! It’s been awesome meeting you too!:)

@devastate-lasting

Sure, I can tell you a little about my WIP. I usually just don’t share explicits in my novel with anyone but don’t take offense, I hardly share that info with my cat:)

The main character’s name I haven’t decided on yet, so I always just refer to her as “my character.” It’s set mostly in the woods. I try to limit my cast of…[Read more]

Would your character rather have a great home, but could never travel or travel their whole life, but could never settle down anywhere?

@devastate-lasting

My character would probably read books for the rest of her life, (in fact she comes from a time era before movies even existed).

Hi!

Yes, Robert Frost is great. He has a way of writing the things in nature that are easy to feel and see, but very hard to describe.

Mostly when I’m not writing, I like to make digital art or illustrate scenes from my novel or horseback ride. Reading too… oh and watching that series, Spirit Riding Free. I’m a fan of horses:)

@issawriter7

Hello!

Thank you:) and yes, I plan on publishing. First I have to write my second draft and then see how many rewrites it will need. But definitely. I love the cast of characters I have and know that in that mess on my shelf (first draft) there’s a great novel… somewhere.

I don’t really have a favorite genre, just whatever dust…[Read more]

Hi!

Thank you for the greeting. Um, I think my favorite Narnia book is… well it is extremely hard to choose:) My favorite book is probably the Magicians Nephew (no offense or anything like that) and my least favorite is probably the last because that means the series is over. But Disney has three Narnia movies and my favorite out of those is…[Read more]

@writerLexi1216

I think my character would choose to breathe underwater, she has had a few close calls around water herself. It would certainly be useful!:)

Would your character rather be able to communicate with animals or communicate with the weather?

Yes, I agree with Issabelle. I tried to read something supposedly innocent there at one time, but it wasn’t very good. Wattpad has a lot of well… trash in it (not wanting to sound cruel at all), but Wattpad isn’t very professional or Christian.

I guess this post is a bit redundant to other posts. But it’s what I know about Wattpad.

I wish I…[Read more]

If it’s any help, when writing dialogue or getting a feel for a character’s voice, it can help to hold an informal interview between you and your character. Ask them a question and write down what you believe is their heartfelt answer. It sounds a little odd, but it’s tons of fun.

Also, here is a quote that you might find helpful:

Hi Emily!
(That is such a cool coincidence that we’re both Abigails).

Anyway, yes, I’ve been reading all sorts of books about writing and done a good share of it. I have been published in a few minor sources, but nothing really mentionable. I’m working on it though:)

My favorite book is: ‘Dark Horse’ by John Fischer. It’s mostly about faith and…[Read more]
