@larissa-chmil
OH MY GOSH YOU THOUGHT ABOUT TOO WITH ROBIN HOOD AND RED RIDING HOOD?!? ME TOO GIRL!!! In my series I had made them siblings!!! Robin had run away from home when Reddie was younger, moving to Nuodinghan.
Mine was all kinda interconnected like how Red’s father was actually the huntsman, from Snow White and red riding hood, and a…[Read more]

@annabelle My current projects are all fantasy, haha, but I also dabble in slice of life, crime, among other genres. I want to give them all a try!
What about you?

Lin replied to the topic Writer's Corner #505 in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 4 months ago
@annabelle I’m working on two long series, one of which is for a contest, a dark fantasy standalone novel, and right now a short story for the KP forest contest haha. It’s a bit much.
@karissa-chmil Ey, that sounds great, Karissa! What’s your blog?
@lavenderbookling Welcome, welcome. Sit down and have some tea? *offers cookies*

Lydia S. replied to the topic Some questions about characters in the forum Characters 4 years, 4 months ago
1. Definitely! I know for a certain book series, I feel that way about both the main characters. XD
2. For pretty much everyone (except maybe Sauron… Or the White Witch…), I’d say #1. (I’m a big believer in redemption arcs…😉)
3. The morally worst villain I’ve ever read about would maybe be Mordred from The Once and Future King or…[Read more]

@annabelle Yeah, you can talk about anything!
Wow, congratulations on your author spotlight! It looks quite interesting!
As someone who is also juggling several projects, I relate. Which one is your favorite story to work on right now?
Ah, I’ve always gotten emails from YWW, but never could bring myself to join. But I’m planning on taking some…[Read more]

Hello, one and all! For those of you who are newer, we used to have some topics called “Writer’s Corner” or something like that, but I’m far too lazy to search for the previous ones or consult how many of these we have been through, so we can just start a new one.
This thread is just a place for off-topic chats, where we can talk about our day or…[Read more]

Lin replied to the topic What come to you first? Plot or Characters? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 4 months ago
@kathleenramm I’d say both. Sometimes I have names and character ideas and I want to flesh out a plot around them; other times I have a plot idea and I make up quick characters to fill in the blanks. But if I had to choose one, it’s most likely characters first.

SO Because I don’t have many scenes written…I don’t have many lines of dialogue to share…BUT I REALLY WANT TO SHARE SOME SO HERE I GO!
These are from Arabella- (These may make no sense…a lot of my dialogue is like one sentence phrases…)
The girl with ebony hair.
Ara’s throat stung.
“Who are you?”
Her grandfather nodded and hande…

What come to you first? Plot or Characters?
For me, honestly it’s both. Sometimes a cool character comes to me sometimes a cool plot.However, that’s a bit of a cop-out answer so I’ll say what most commonly comes to me. And that would be plot ideas. When fleshing out a story idea I always focus on characters, however, the basic premise of the…[Read more]

Okay, first of all, I gotta say that I love this. Second of all, I have quite a handful of characters that these questions apply to. Thank you in advance for this topic by the way.
Is there a characters I don’t like, but don’t hate either?
Okay so this might put Shannon Messenger fans on the defensive, but I’m gonna say Fitz Vacke…[Read more] -

Hi, Keilah! I’ve never read Green Ember before, but it sounds awesome. That’s a really wonderful thing about Kingdom Pen, I learn about new books to read, from other writers. I’m totally going to read this one:) What’s your favorite part about it?

Can we get this up and running again with brand new lines from characters? I still don’t really have many….but maybe we can expand this to be lines of not just dialogue but just very short bits of our books?
