@Daeus I actually really, really, really prefer the first synopsis… *rueful smile*
When you say ‘make it clearer who it’s for’ are you talking about the target audience? If that’s the case, a more explicit (but still subtle) ‘mission statement’ might be all that’s required. Not knowing precisely what the underlying issue is, I would say is it…[Read more]

Hi @aislinn-mollisong! Welcome to KP! I’m new to the site as a member, but have been stalking – I mean, following – it for a while now (maybe several months up to a year?). I’ve found pretty much all the articles quite helpful one way or another, and I’m sure the things on here will help you too. Good luck on your fantasy trilogy! 😀

@Kate-Flournoy *laughs* Nice. 🙂

@Jessi-Rae yup. She’s sixteen, I’m eighteen. Though everybody thinks she’s older so… *shrugs**grins*

@Jesi-Rae yup. She’s sixteen, I’m eighteen. Though everybody thinks she’s older so… *shrugs**grins*

@Kate-Flournoy I like writing the normal rhymey stuff too. 🙂 And poems that tell stories are pretty cool. One of my three closest best friends writes AMAZING poems like that. I think they’re amazing, anyway. 🙂

@Emma-Flournoy Yes, the hilariosity (yes that’s a word, I made it up XD) of those movies are probably why they’re on my list of…[Read more]

@Kate-Flournoy Pretty much. XD

Hey @Aislinn-Mollisong! I second Kate about your name. 😀 Regardless, it’s quite a neat one.

@Emma-Flournoy *smirks* You’ve been waiting your entire life to be able to say that, haven’t you? XD

@Jessi-Rae I have a lot of favorite movies too. What movie-watcher can help it?
Of those you listed I’ve seen the first three Pirates movies. They’re so hilarious.

(@Kate-Flournoy fyi we have at least three more INTPs than that. @I-J-Anderson, @R-J-Wordsmith, and @Alia. You’re welcome. Poor mortal human. XD)

@Jessi-Marie I have a lot of favorite movies too. What movie-watcher can help it?

@Jessi-Rae oh just pretty normal rhymey stuff. 😉 I like the poems that tell stories… or the ones that are almost like ballads. 😉 Not as good as I’d like to be, but I’ll keep practicing.

@Majerot Well everything counts. 😀

@emma-flournoy Hi and thank you! I actually have a lot of favorite movies. All the Pirates of the Caribbean and Mission: Impossible, God’s Not Dead 2, and Guardians of the Galaxy, to name a few.

@kate-flournoy Thank you. Yeah, I don’t know if I’m an introverted extrovert, or an introvert with extroverted tendencies. Cool! What kind of poetr…[Read more]

Welcome to the Kingdom @aislinn-mollisong! Can I ask, is that your real name? It sounds just fantasy-ish enough to make me wonder… *wink*
Yep, Rolena is the best.
What’s your favorite thing about writing?

Legends of Light, @kate-flournoy? *scratches head* I may have heard something about them somewhere… XD

Welcome, @jessi-rae! Fairy tales retellings and fantasy are quite fun. I’ve tried my hand at futuristic/dystopian type stories too, but I mainly stick to fantasy. I don’t have very many female protagonists, though. That’s going to change one…[Read more]

Welcome to the site @aislinn-mollisong! You came in at the perfect time since we’ll be publishing a lot of fantasy articles next month. 🙂 Who are your favorite fantasy authors?

@perfectfifths Oh–I may have read that book myself a long time ago! I forget, but I know I’ve read a fair number of Sutcliffe’s works. Whether or not its a complex arc depends on how long it takes. If the initial negative arc is just a couple initial chapters or a prologue or something, I would probably say it doesn’t count since that’s just part…[Read more]

@perfectfifths So just to clarify, currently the midpoint represents a backsliding for Amrei? Backsliding can be a very effective tactic to take; however, generally that kind of moment like you’re describing happens better at the third plot point (I get into that in lesson nine on weaving theme into your story structure). I’d recommend choosing a…[Read more]

Welcome to the site @jessi-rae! Glad you found us. 🙂 What’s the premise of the dystopian novel you’re writing?
