Scoutillus Finch

I’ve been revising my short story, should I post my revision?

I hope it’s not too overwhelming, I an somewhat inexperienced and am just trying to give you some ideas, feel free to use anything I’ve suggested if it would help.

@zachary-holbrook

First off, your world sounds super interesting and like you have put a lot of effort into it and welcome to KP!

I like the sound of your plan for putting the Christ figure’s first coming in the past, but I think you could go with either way, depending on how you feel the story should go. I have been writing seriously for about…[Read more]

I have a few:

• How does the government of your world affect your story?
• Write a scene where your character is visiting a mall Santa as a child (if they are in a speculative world, feel free to modify as needed)
• What view would your character have on Christmas? Write a scene describing this.
• Your character is waiting for a…

Hi, @iluvhim18!

What musicals do you like? I only am a large fan of two to my memory, Singing in the Rain and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Do you plot out your novels or no? I kind of plot out my stuff, but not entirely.

You have!

Feel free to use my suggestions! Honestly, I often get a little worried that I am sharing too much information.

I totally get what you are saying about anxiety/depression. Is your character based off of yourself or is she almost exactly like yourself?

Does anything happen to motivate your Protagonist to obey Ganesh?

Thanks so much for the feedback! I’m so glad you feel that way about Jade at the end because it was what I was shooting for!

I am doing pretty well, went to some stores with my Grandma, Mom, and Sister. I forgot my mom was having asthma troubles and I put on a rose-scented perfume I wanted to try that was SUPER strong and I just got out of the shower after a thorough scrubbing.

I didn’t do much writing-wise around thanksgiving-time, either. I was helping…[Read more]

@gracie-j

I’m here, how are you doing?

How’s progress on your novel going? are you publishing traditionally or no?

@aj_serene

Writer’s Block is definitely a struggle. Do you need suggestions for quality Fantasy reading? It’s still cool that you read so much non-fiction, do you think you could use anything you’ve heard about in them for your story?

My short story is a sci-fi about a con-artist/thief/assassin who is on a mission to kill a monster with a human…[Read more]

Hello AJ!

I am relatively new to KP, I signed up a few weeks ago and am two years younger than you.

At what point in the process of writing your fantasy novel are you? I am on the revision stage of a short story.

I would befriend a few of my characters, partly because some of them are based off of personalities I see in real life. but the one that’s most based off myself I really don’t know if i’d get along with. he is a sort of villain for part of his story, then when he turns good, (spoiler alert for unwritten story) maybe, he’s more shy afterwards.

@godlyfantasy12

Thank you!

I’d recommend thinking about what problems would bring your Protagonist to jump into the action. I also would recommend that we have a chance to see her have a normal day doing normal things so we get to know her, see why she doubts, understand her wound and how she sees the world around her. you only need enough…[Read more]

Your story sounds interesting! Can I give a tip?

I just finished Phantastes by George MacDonald. It is a weighty read and I could only take it in small bites. It is SUCH a beautiful novel about a man’s travels in fairyland and his pursuit of an ideal woman. It is one of the books that helped to make the fantasy genre what we know it today, influencing C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. It is so…[Read more]

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate y ‘all’s suggestions, and thank you so much for the compliment! I am figuring a lot out through this. Feel free to continue line-editing if you want to, whatever you would rather do :).

Hmm… I never thought about writing it strictly from Jade’s point of view. I will have to think about that, but it sounds…[Read more]

First off, Y’all’s stories sound SO cool!

Welcome to KP Annika-c! I am a newbie as well!

@devestate-lasting:

Deciding what story to work on is so tricky! I had two false-starts before settling on my current WIP. What I do, is pick a project that really speaks to me and fits within my current skill level. I know I’m not all that ready for my…[Read more]

Thank you guys so much!
