Nice to meet you, too, QuicksilverWyvern! Epic fantasy is the best, and I like how clearly it shows the battle between good and evil. I don’t know if you know what a LitRPG is, but in case you don’t, I’ll say they are books with a game-like system built into their structure. Characters have classes and can level up, can lose…[Read more]

First week of November! It’s time for our book discussion question, but first I want to check in with y’all.

How are things going? Any troubles finding the book or finding time to read? Any thoughts or rabbit trails?

*Thoughtful humming*

Here’s the question: What are two bits of this book that…

digital art, graphite art, coloring (I keep wanting to spell color the British way for some reason), composing music, playing piano, designing D&D campaigns and other table-top RPG systems, crochet, making impossible cosplay gear out of simply foam and cardboard, and lastly programming a video game. And there’s probably a few o…

Thanks, everyone!

My computer doesn’t like this forum for some reason, so it’s hard for me to respond to everyone individually. (My side, not your side. It glitches and stuff on my side :P)

Anyways, your advice has helped a lot!

I still can’t decide if I am a pantser or plotter.

Plotting…[Read more]

yeah lol

I like Romance, Thrillers, Dystopian… basically anything but Western

@quicksilverwyvern

okay the summery:

I had the idea for a thriller. A man whose daughter is killed on her way home from school, then he (just a ordianry dad) goes on a path of revenge to hunt the killer down. Only to find himself caught up in a world of…[Read more]

I’ve read like all those XD Except Brandon Mull. I’m more into YA. lol tysm tho!!!

@theducktator

oh i didn’t know that lol, the previous forum I was on people saw them on the new topics section lol

So I tend to drop the project a few chapters in, or I’ve tried plotting a project, only to find out it isn’t a story. And more of just “vibes.” I’ve never dropped a project in the middle, I just push past.

I used to read all the time, but I found myself reading bad romance books, I hadn’t meant to find. So it pretty much…[Read more]

Chocolate chip is classic. Most of my family would agree with you about the syrup, but I love syrup and chocolate. XD

My dream car is a sleek, black limo with my own personal driver that will drive me to and from company events. Everyone will be required to wear sunglasses inside of it.

That sounds amazing.

My favorite writing…[Read more]

Flashbacks are useful literary devices. They can drop hints of mystery, clues to the story, or explain secrets.

Just have a good idea of how you’re using them in the book before you dive in. I don’t know how many times I’ve started writing something only to realize half-way through that it didn’t fit with the story. So, are…[Read more]

Ah! What a great question. Here are some thoughts:

What triggered the flash back? Memories usually have a trigger anyway, but because these are grief/trauma memories, those triggers are likely to be abrupt. They’re best if they’re comnected to the plot or character. For instance, I have a character who lost his sister at a…[Read more]

Greetings! Your book sounds really good! I’m The Ducktator! I write mostly fantasy with a few other WIPs, and I also enjoy reading, dancing, history, birding, and politics. I’m also obsessed with ducks!

What is your favorite kind of pancake?

What are your comfort books?

Hello hello, it’s lovely to meet another newbie! I need to go to all y’all’s introduction discussions.

School’s been so busy I can’t keep up with my own life timeline, lol.

*nods solemnly* Real,very real

I like to write mostly epic fantasy with hints of other genres. I also have a ridiculous amount of other hobbies, though I’m…

[Read more]

lol. My first book was only like 25k

Idk if I’ll delete mine. It’ll just haunt me from the google docs of unfinished and half finished projects XD

Yeah!

Okay, so the first one I wrote was a spy mystery/triller it was my first novel, and therfore my trash novel XD Idk what it was about tbh… it was crazy.. I pansted it fully lol My second is a Biblical Allagory, like Pilgrims Progress meets Hinds Feet in High Places. Its about the village outcast who learns of a kingdom…[Read more]

Oh thanks you! And nice to meet you!

She bought me OYAN!(One Year Adventure Novel)

Sure, I’ll ask Paul some questions!

Hello, Paul. It’s nice to make your acquaintance.

Where are you from?

Do you have a family? Are there any people who have influenced your life positively, and who are they?

Would you tell me about this siege you’re preparing for?

I have watched the movies and read the first 3 books. I love the movies and am not a fan of the books. lol

my problem with the books is mainly the crudity. Plus they’re just weird lol. I noticed a pattern where someone/something gets swallowed alive in every book XD

I have heard, but have not read.

Chocolate, however, I have consumed. The best is a ballance between dark and milk with some deied fruit or cookie bits in it. Unless it is Spanish truffles. Mmmmmm….

Have you heard of/read Christina Baehr? I have a feeling her work is a very different genre from what you are talking about,…[Read more]

That’s really cool! I’m currently in my first ever campaign, so it’s just one character (for now 🤭)

I play an elf named Evviva. She saw a wandering bard bring people joy when she was very young, and dedicated herself to learning music and becoming one herself! However… she isn’t very intelligent since she skipped school. S…[Read more]

Hello! My name is Liberty Durmaz. I’m the King’s young daughter (18, to be exact), and I love history, siblings, reading, writing, and a whole host of other things. I’m not super active on KP, but still around.

A  couple questions!

Are you a guy or a gal? I would really like to know.

What kind of business are you interested…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing that verse! I will also check into the video.

@quicksilverwyvern

Oh, hello! You’re new! I’ll have to introduce myself…thank you so much for praying! Yes, it is rough at times, but it’s also helped us grow a lot. Welcome to KP!

id have to say my favorite character is either Albert (or wait, whoever the guy was who fell in love with Valentine de Villefort, I get the names mixed up) or Edmond himself. What about yours?

@quicksilverwyvern

Sounds like a cool book! I owe my entire knowledge to a random whim of wondering whether the dragons from HTTYD were…[Read more]

What’s the most recent DnD character you’ve played? (I just started playing the game this year and I’ve encountered some interesting characters. This topic intrigues me. 🤔)

ALSO HI I’M STELLY THE BEAN. We might’ve met on a different forum. I can’t recall. All the people are blending into one messy color in my brain. I se…[Read more]

Hello noob. You sound cool. :]

I must ask, how would you explain your summer novel, comic, D&D campaign, and metroidvania? Give me a little summary of each one, if you like. Or not. Whatever you would deign to tell a stranger.

It sounds like a challenge to combine steampunk, which is a genre built around retrofuturism and the…[Read more]

grcr – I make French artisan bread and I absolutely flunked at making sourdough. And cinnamon rolls are fun to make.

My family started out going to an Evangelical Free church as well, I used to work at a Presbyterian church, and I’ve a southern baptist church before too, so a little familiar with all of that. My views on God and the Bible have changed pretty radically since I was a kid though.

But definitely agree with the EF belief in…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

Thank youuuuu. I’ll definitely look into most of these. (PROBABLY won’t invent my own language though. 😅) I’m likely never going to say the character’s name in the story, but knowing it would help me connect with her more and get into her brain.

I do love poetry, and I like to write down whenever I think of a line. Rhyming and alliteration bring me great joy, especially the latter. I once wrote a series of tongue twisters, where each one has to be a different letter of the alphabet. Sadly, ‘tis lost on a sheet of paper somewhere. 😔

1. Hmmmmm… Maybe not necessarily fan…[Read more]

Hi Wyvern, it’s nice to meet you!

I think my ideal fantasy house would probably be in a tree, or floating (not Howl’s Moving Castle Style, more like Harbinger). It would have a large kitchen. If I may ask, what would yours look like?

I love historical-vibes, especially in dystopias. For example, the book Rook, by Sharon…[Read more]

Congratulations on finishing a draft! That’s a huge milestone. I declare you deserving of cheesecake (if you like cheesecake. Otherwise I’ll eat it myself,…[Read more]

Thank you very much for the advice!! I appreciate it! That’s one of the beautiful things about there being so many writers out there: everyone has different ways of doing things.

I am definitely a character-first writer, it’s just translating who my characters are and how they interact with the world into plot beats…[Read more]
