@rochellaine  It was fun, eh? XD I almost miss it. I half-expected you to make fun of my rather not-beast-like photo hahah. I suppose it was only a matter of time before I had to admit the truth. . . 😛

Yeah, most of the creative stuff I do nowadays is art and drawing. But I would like to find a way to exercise my writing muscle somehow too.

I…[Read more]

@jenna-terese  Gotcha. That’s about what I expected.

@rochellaine Hi!!! I’ve missed you! 😀 😀 How have you been?

I’ve been making stories pretty much my entire life. Although growing up, most of them were in the form of stick figure scribbles in notebooks. I think the first time I considered trying out story-telling in the form of the written word was shortly after I turned thirteen. I attempted a children’s book series about a girl named Julia and her…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  So I’ve been informed. I think it’s super exciting! Has activity on KP been picking up at all? How busy is it compared to pre-Story Embers? (asking because I haven’t been on in months and it’s kinda hard to tell from here XP)

I’ve been all right. Nothing much to report on my end. I’ve been spending quarantine talking to online…[Read more]

Hey, y’all! It’s been a while. Just wanted to check in to see how everyone was doing. I didn’t want to make a new topic so here I am in Writers’ Corner. 😛 Hope you don’t mind.

Anything fun been happening around here? 🙂

@warrluther04

Hey, Warren!!!! It’s been a while; so great to see you!! 😀 😀 😀 How have you been?

@merieshenanigans My retelling is of Beauty and the Beast! It’s contemporary fantasy, and I am actually handwriting it this time because that helps me get things done instead of stressing about what I’ve already written. So even though I still write slow, what I write stays there instead of getting deleted, lol.

Yes, being a TCK is always c…[Read more]

@merieshenanigans 你好! I’m Grace and welcome to the forum! I also enjoy fantasy, and my current WIP is a fairytale retelling 🙂

Your soon-to-be-named WIP sounds really cool. Can you tell me more of what it’s about?

Also I’m curious why you feel like you’re not an actual TCK… because I think it means different things for different people. Lik…[Read more]

@leon-fleming This sounds like a great idea!

You’ve been tagging me in a lot of poetry-related things, haha… but I’m not sure I would consider myself a poet, except perhaps in the long-rambly free verse genre.

I think for this thread, I would caution that we check our hearts before writing, so that we’re genuinely glorifying God and not trying…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Yeah, I see what you mean about the incompetent hero being relatable. I think every person is fundamentally insecure about something, so having that played out in a book usually strikes a chord.

I like the forbidden love type (Romeo and Juliet, the song Rewrite the Stars, etc). I don’t know why exactly. It’s usually very feel-sy…[Read more]

@leon-fleming Yeah, after seeing a little bit about your WIPs I figured it was related to Tolkien somewhat. That’s amazing how you discovered a lot of existing things on your own!

Yeah, and people even recommend that speech therapists even study linguistics alongside to help inform the work that they do.

@katherine-h Wow, that’s great! Welcome…[Read more]

@katniss-everdeen Welcome back! I echo everyone else and hope that you’ll find inspiration to write more, whatever that looks like for you. 🙂

@devastate-lasting Yeah, finding time is always hard. Are you currently in high school?

@leon-fleming Aww yeah, that sucks. Sorry about that!

Also, to the best of my knowledge, I don’t believe I play the kazoo.

@devastate-lasting Okay so it varies depending on the world. That’s cool!

Yeah, I’ve studied at an American school all my life, so even though some would call me fluent in Chinese I am definitely not comfortable talking in it haha. When I move to America in the near future it’s going to be even worse…

Yes, I think a lot of fictional drama…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting I played the violin for many years, but recently stopped playing/practicing. Now, I’m trying to teach myself the guitar. How about you?

@devastate-lasting *looks up genre of urban fantasy* That’s super cool! Would your entire Magic User World be classified as urban fantasy/contemporary fantasy then?

I think that writing in Chinese definitely would be fitting for a setting in Beijing. There’s a book called Want by Cindy Pon which is set in Taipei, and although she does a great j…[Read more]
