@gh24682468999 Also, having your MC’s personality different than your sidekicks personality can be more interesting and realistic than if they are the same.  I guess, all of your characters will be different while always having a little of you in them too.

@alia. Ooh, I love it!  Now I want to read the whole thing!

@gh24682468999 *squeals* Characters are the best part of writing/storytelling for me! Don’t ask me how to create intense plots or even good pacing.. But characters? 🙂

Disclaimer, I doubt I know as much as I think I know about characters, and i’m pretty bad at explaining the stuff I do understand.

Okay so I think with character development t…[Read more]

Don’t worry! Long posts don’t scare me! (as long as its a topic as interesting as writing 😀 )

A while back I had an idea for a retelling of…[Read more]

Hey! @celticcailin I’m pretty clueless when it comes to music but I think @jess-penrose does music? (maybe??)

@annaberens. Hi!  Welcome to the Kingdom of Pen!  Do you know how to post topics and such?  Glad you are here!

@celticcailin Hi!  Very few of my songs turn out fit to sing. 🙂  Do you feel comfortable posting any of your songs so we can see them?  (Its totally fine if you don’t.)  Sounds like you already have some better advice anyway. 🙂

@gh24682468999 I think my favorite thing about writing is creating my characters!  I never thought when I began writing that I would feel so close to my characters.  Sometimes I’m like, “I am so sorry I have to put you through this, my dear character, but its for the best I promise!  You will triumph in the end!”  🙂

Is it your characters per…[Read more]

I’m a planster.  I plan the 5% of my story that counts (not really plan; just like “this happens”  then “this”  then “this” than done.  That’s it)  I planned out over 30% of one of my stories and I can’t even get 1000 words through!

On the other hand, I started writing a random story because I was bored and I had no idea what was goin…[Read more]

@seejustice Okay, so ya know how I said I’d start reading it tomorrow?

I finished it.

I literally put off studying for a test to read it 😛 (you should be proud and concerned) 😉

It was awesome! 🙂 I can’t wait for more.

@seekjustice No problem. 🙂

@seekjustice Yay! I think I should be able to start reading it tomorrow 🙂

@skredder Yay, thanks! 🙂 I’ll get to these as soon as I can. Enjoy your trip!

@skredder aw, thank you for reading it! 😀

I do have a question though: Jane said that I was struggling with telling instead of showing, how do you think that was in this chapter?

@seekjustice I’m not here because I am writing but because I have a question for you specifically and didn’t think it worth creating a new thread. (I hope that’s okay 😉 )

Anyways I know that you like to write stories that are retellings and would love to hear your general thoughts and advice about writing them. 🙂

@ariella-newheart I’ll draw him if no one els wants to? 🙂

@seekjustice Thank you for your prayers!  God has given some pretty clear direction, even though its not always been what we would have chosen. 🙂 Please do keep praying.

@skye Welcome to the Kingdom of Pen!  How old are you?  Do you like to draw?  So glad your here!
