Hi and welcome to Kingdom Pen!
I’m pretty new too, but it’s been awesome here!

That is so cool that your writing a graphic novel. Sadly, the only ones I’ve ever read was the re-making of Anna Sewell’s Black Beauty and also Svetlana Chmakova’s Brave.

If you like swashbuckling kind of tales, Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson’s Peter and…[Read more]

Thank you for your advice:) I have done NaNoWriMo, but the quiz looks interesting, I appreciate you bringing that up, it definitely helps!

@godlyfantasy12

Thank you so much for your advice and encouragement, I really appreciate it:) I should get back into my reading habit, I had put it off for a little while, but yes, reading does help writing immensely. And you are right, music is absolutely one of the best fuels for writing.

@seekjustice

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:)

@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!

@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]

oh and HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!! I hope you all have a blessed and awesome 2021. I know you’re going to accomplish wonderful things and write some epic stories this year. 🙂 <3

@catwing I’m glad you’re doing well. 🙂 A Minecraft youtube channel? Awesome! 😀

@jenwriter17 heyo! I didn’t see your message til now (I guess cause we posted at the same time lol)
I’m doing pretty good rn. It’s almost New Years Day. 😀

This year has been interesting. I’ve tried to get out of my comfort zone a bit and talk more. And I started a minecraft youtube channel lol

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).
