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:)

@abigail-m

I don’t know if you’ve ever done NaNoWriMo, but for NaNo Prep, they give a list of different plot structures for planners, pantsers, and everyone in between.  The link below is a short quiz which will give the results for the best plot structure for you.  Hopefully it helps!!  &#…[Read more]

@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]

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

@joy-caroline

Your story sounds BEAUTIFUL!!!!!  Amazing work, coming up with it and sticking with it to the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Welcome to the forum btw 😃)

@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).

@devastate-lasting

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!:)

Greetings,

I very much quite liked The Narnia books, what is your favorite and least favorite books in the series?

My favorite is the Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe and my least favorite is the Magician’s Nephew. That isn’t to say it was bad. Just. If I had to choose one, that would be it.

If you would like to know my personal favorite (and…[Read more]
