@salome01W4G Yay! Another Hannah! There are a lot of us, you know. We’re well on our way toward a successful takeover of the world by Hannahs. (Bwahaha!)
Hi, by the way! Historical fiction is a fun genre. I admire anyone who can manage it. I tried once, but it was too hard for me to stick to the facts, so I switched to fantasy. 🙂
By the way, I’m…[Read more]

@salome01W4G That is weird, but did you look on the side where it shows the percentages of the results? Maybe you’re only 51% introvert and 49% extrovert!

@Emily, well, I think @Salome01w4g has already shared my advice. I actually think the story sounds pretty neat, but I have a bias towards any story that has a lighthouse in it (I LOVE lighthouses). When deciding if I want to finish a story Im struggling with I ask myself if I feel the message Im trying to get across is important to me, and whether…[Read more]

Hey @salome01w4g! Couple recommendations! First, like @that_writer_girl_99 said, I’d recommend creating a file for all your characters where you record information like that. That makes it really easy to check and make sure you’re not contradicting yourself. 🙂

Second, on the whole deleting words issue, while I know that not getting to a certain…[Read more]

@salome01w4g don’t worry, I hardly ever do either! We need to make it more of a priority, don’t we?

A few thoughts: Editing is a natural part of writing. It’s necessary. Sometimes it’s annoying, and sometimes it’s hard, but it’s a necessary part of our craft. Fear not. It will be better in the end.

On remembering details: Write it down. All of it. Write it down, even if you know it’ll change later. Write it down in order to…[Read more]

@seekjustice Okay, cool. Thanks!

@salome01w4g Awesome. That works!

@graciegirl Haha, yes. You can teleport!

@salome01w4g pray about it! Seriously, its one of the best things you can do. I don’t pray nearly enough before writing, but I find that when I do it really helps. Remember that you’re writing for God! ask him for help and tell him everything about this story. That’s the best advice I can offer.

@salome01w4g Yep, the chickens make the difference.

@salome01w4g I saw the second How to Train Your Dragon!

@salome01w4g No problem! I wrote an article on the subject a while back if you want to check it out: https://kingdompen.org/foil-characters-what-they-are-and-how-to-use-them/ Basically it’s when you create a combination of similarities and differences between two characters (or two situations) in order to draw attention to them as a pair so the…[Read more]

@salome01w4g it’s not required. However, it’s a very handy way of keeping track of the sources you’ve found most helpful, for your own future reference if not anybody else’s. A good publisher/agent/editor will probably want to see it, to make sure you did your research, even though it won’t be published.

And because it won’t have to be formal,…[Read more]

@salome01w4g I wouldn’t think so, seeing as it’s a novel and not a non-fiction historical book or an essay. But I don’t know for sure.

@salome01W4G No, anyone can take the test and find out what their personality type is here:
http://www.16personalities.com It’s so cool! If you take it, though, make sure to take time to answer each question as truthfully as possible, and the results will be VERY accurate – and spooky too! 😀 😀

@Salome01W4G Nice! Sounds like a solid premise with a lot of potential for foil characters & situations (which happen to pretty much be my favorite thing if you haven’t seen me writing about them yet. 😉 )

@Salome01W4G Ah yes, that does make sense. But I think you’ll like it. 😉

@salome01W4G I am ‘stremely late, but welcome! My brother, Daeus, writes historical fiction too. 😀 I write historical stories – is that what they’re called? Right now I’m ‘in the middle’ of writing a true story – my great-grandpa’s, in fact. I believe most of us on KP are homeschooled. 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 Which is really awesome. 😀 😀 :D…[Read more]

@daeus @graciegirl @that_writer_girl_99 @daughteroftheking @salome01W4G @ethyrndal
I’m on for an hour or more. Who knows?

@salome01W4G Aha! I knew I recognized it.
