@ingridrd Oh my goodness this happens to me a lot too! I’m afraid I”ll have to explain when they see ‘ways to poison someone’ in my search history or something.
@sam-kowal I’ve done that a couple times before deciding to just use normal words everyone understands to explain writing things. That’s hard though, I have to use a lot more words.

@sam-kowal Okay. Took a break for a while there, but I’m back to reading now.
I’ll check out those stories by Chesterton. I like suspense😎

@sam-kowal That synopsis is great. 😀 Where can I read this book? 😛
I’ve taken to just sharing my story premise.
“Oh, my book? It’s about these guys who are trying to steal this thing from the dark lord before he figures out it has the power to release him from his captivity.”
Never mind that description lacks any life whatsoever. They d…[Read more]

Well, um… You know, I think I’ve just decided King @daeus isn’t so bad after all. Just forget about The whole rebellion thing. It seems some people don’t approve. *glares at @dragon-snapper and @sam-kowal *

I have an announcement: The KPA is finally underway! I hope…

(don’t judge — I have no idea what movie/show this gif is from…)
I had to rewrite it completely, but I think it will turn out well! I FINALLYFINALLYFINALLY have the plot figured out!!
Unfortunately, since I rewrote it, Number One: The prologue is a dud, and Number Two: I have…[Read more]

@valtmy Welcome to KP! 😀
@sam-kowal ‘s right. But worry not, I’ve tried to instigate a rebellion myself. XD Even though I’m the one who made @daeus king.
Anyway, randomness aside; I’m Dragon Snapper. Most people here just call me Snapper though, cause why would you have to write down Dragon Snapper EVERY SINGLE TIME. XD
Glad to see another…[Read more]

Snapper started the topic Fighting The Block in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 2 months ago
Hey guys!
So, I’m just going to say it…. writing’s been hard lately. I just started another novel–10,000 words through– but as I write, I really have to force myself to keep going. I try to write well, of course, but I feel almost disconnected from my book. I can write as fast as I used to if I force myself to, if I really really try, but I…[Read more]

Rochellaine started the topic Contemporary Western Novel in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 2 months ago
This doesn’t have a name yet, but it is supposed to be a contemporary novel set in the American West with a plot similar to the old Westerns. This is not a book blurb, just an explanation of what it’s about.
Chara (Sh-ah-ra) Doran visits her uncle and aunt in Nevada. She is a five-foot-tall nineteen-year-old who is self-conscious about her s…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Hi, thanks for your comments. (I’m assuming it was you.)
I’m planning on editing and finishing the story hopefully in a few days or a week, and then I’ll post the completed version here – I guess for more critique. 🙂
So thanks everyone, and I’ll talk to you about the story in another little while.

I created this topic to share all the funny and weird things that has happened to us being writers. Here’s a couple of my experiences….
I daydream while my mom and another mom-friend talk about their kids’ interests. I’m really not part of the conversation until my mom says, “My daughter writes books.”
Mom-Friend turns to me. “Oh really?…[Read more]

It is highly possible there is already a topic just like this… If so, SORRY!
First of all, I know the MBTI test is one of the main things here, and I really want to know more about what some of the letters mean. I remember what they stand for (Extrovert-Introvert, Sensing-Intuition, Thinking-Feeling, Prospecting-Judging), and I know what the…[Read more]

@dekreel I’ve never watched Doctor Who, but so many people keep telling me that I should. Is there a particular season that you would recommend? I seem to recall that there are different actors who play the Doctor.
@sam-kowal Thanks! A jaguarundi is actually one of the plainest cats around, but they have somehow ended up as my favorite wild cat…[Read more]

@dekreel Nope, I didn’t draw it, although I wish I did! where do I even start with my favorite book? I enjoy all kinds of books, and I really just enjoy a good one regardless of genre or who wrote it. When it comes to movies and tv shows I like some Marvel movies, Granite flats, When Calls the Heart, and A Series of Unfortunate Events.

@sam-kowal. Ugg! I did it again. Sorry for not getting back to you! :p
I’m sorry to hear that Emily and Shannon are going to be gone for awhile. I’ll miss ’em! 🙁That’s a cool name! In our family, all of us have unique-ish names. For instance, my little sister is named Marija with a j, except it’s silent. I think it’s how you spell it in Dutch…[Read more]

@mnvalentine Yes! please do, they are really good! I would especially recommend his Kingfountain books.
@rochellaine History is my favorite subject! I enjoy several different time periods/places; in particular the Irish potato famine, Egypt, the 1800s, and the trail of tears. What about you?

@that_writer_girl_99 Huge fan of Kylo Ren, maybe not… but I think he’s had a lot of good character development and I reeeaally want to see him redeemed. I technically have a work in progress (~30k words so far), but I haven’t worked on it since Camp Nanowrimo in July, thanks to being on the semester system which meant I started school in…[Read more]

@sam-kowal Thanks! As you probably know by now, I took a look at the doc. It actually helped a lot as an explanation of what I need to fix.
I definitely can’t use your examples – because his voice totally changes in them from my version of his voice. 🙂 But I consider that a good thing because otherwise I’d feel like you had written it in…[Read more]

@sam-kowal Could you point out a place where they aren’t relevant? I can’t find any myself, but that could be because I wrote it. 🙂
