@rochellaine Thanks! I did notice. I’m thrilled you know who all those authors are too! I think they’re wonderful.

@radically-surrendered I love singing, and am currently learning how to play the piano. How about you?

@notawriter Thanks! I’m happy to be here. I like reading, sewing, crocheting and talking with my mom. But I think writing ranks…[Read more]

Hey @bella-d !

Welcome to KP! What do you like to do when you aren’t writing?

And @rochellaine I think that genre is called contemporary or contemporary fiction??
(if someone knows and i’m wrong pls let me know!)

@rochellaine Those stories can be really good! They’re really hard for me to write though.

I’d call it a… modern western 🙂

@bella-d Those sound cool! I especially like historical fiction from ancient Rome and similar periods, but maybe it’s just because those are where the best I’ve read have been set. I write fantasy and am currently working on a high fantasy novel about a young queen whose throne is being threatened. And I think it is a normal routine…[Read more]

@rochellaine That sounds good!
As for the picture, Lillian could just be really outdated in the fashion world? XD
In all seriousness, if you’re merely planning on posting the finished story online I don’t many world notice. If this was a published book I feel like you would get your own illustration for it anyway, as the other one probably belongs…[Read more]

@rochellaine Considering that it is in the 1940s at the height of WWII, socialists were definitely not liked, especially if someone thought they were fascist. To my knowledge, the only place that socialists were “safe” was in Hollywood.

Being engaged to a later discovered communist during the Red Scare could definitely work. But it would mean…[Read more]

Wow! Thank you, everyone, this is all extremely helpful! You’ve really shown me a huge amount of possibilities for my previously one-dimensional characters. I’m so  excited now! 😀

@rochellaine A couple of possibilities considering it is the 1940s is what if Lillian was friends with a socialist or an african-american? That could certainly hurt her social status and cause her to be ostracized from her family.

@rochellaine That is true. The prominent ones that I was aware of were Star Wars and Harry Potter (partially because I am obsessed with both…) and it doesn’t surprise me that Star Trek has one as well. And I’ve also heard a rumor of colleges with Quidditch teams..? Anyone know if this is actually real? But battle armor, cardboard weapons,…[Read more]

@rochellaine Viola would work too (I know that’s basically the same thing as violin though…)

Piano might work as well… maybe a magic keyboard that can be woven out of light or something. I dunno.

There’s kind of a “cult following” for Star Wars. And definitely for Harry Potter!

@radically-surrendered This is a great idea! I play the p…[Read more]

@rochellaine I really like @radically-surrendered and @itisastarrynight idea, Maybe she rejected aunt maude’s nephew, or said something socially unacceptable, like she believes in women’s rights or something. I hope this helps!!

@rochellaine I really enjoyed reading what you had written!

@rochellaine Hmm..
If it isn’t something she did or something wrong.. It could have something to do with her family in general or a choice she made for her life that people think was stupid (like investing in a farm, or turning down a courtship, etc) If it had something to do with her family it could be shaming her exclusively because they think i…[Read more]

@itisastarrynight *tears rolls down face in gratitude* thank you, friend!

@rochellaine My friend was in dance too and she always thought it was strange that i hated performing, because she and all the other people she knew that were in dance loved it. I’m the same way; I have a hard time starting conversations

YES I LOVE GOATS! I want a horse…[Read more]

@rochellaine the MC’s mentor teaches at Airos Academy (for students wanting to become a Guardian), so he does mentor others, but he took a particular liking to Taegan.

@radicallysurrendered I am planning on changing the antagonist so it isn’t so obvious. I think i’m going to make one of the Guardians the antagonist (a cheerful guy named Keegan),…[Read more]

@rochellaine Yes, of course. Being creative isn’t always a walk in the park. No sweat  🙂

@rochellaine Yes, that makes sense! I will keep these in mind, thanks so much!

@jenwriter17

So Just from the blurb it seems like Taegan (super cool name btw) is kind of a loner throughout the entire story, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but for me stories that have two of more characters with a developing relationship (doesn’t have to be romantic!) throughout the story makes a big difference between a forgettable or u…[Read more]

@rochellaine These are amazing:) 🙂 🙂
