I have a few short stories that I’ve been wanting to get some feedback on… I’ll start with this one for now. It’s not my best, kinda a literary experiment lol, so I’m all ears for whatever critiques y’all might have 🙃

He doubtless looked no different than any other t…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76 Yessss same! I think in my main two WIP I only have… one… parent who survives the story XD. It really does!! With the parents not there, the character has to buck up and take on more responsibility than he might have before; being on their own molds the character into a different sort of person, something quite common in the…[Read more]

That sounds epic! I personally would like to see text designs on t-shirts; monotone is nice, but I do love a good pop of color!

@ampeterson03 Shakespeare seems to agree with me 😉
Lol well it does resemble this face -> 😆 <- if you look at it sideways, dontcha think?
Said character… I want to call him by his name but as of yet he still doesn’t have one 😂… the four I have been considering for him are Cedar, Arden, Rowan, and Ash because of the same tree-like theme,…[Read more]

Ty! Haha I can relate; I tend to be a veryyyy wordy person. It’s only with extreme effort that I can force myself to condense my thoughts.

@freedomwriter76 Hmm I’ve heard quite a bit of Matthew West, but I don’t know that one… I’ll look it up!

@freedomwriter76 Aww I know, I hate when I have to do that to my characters. “IT’S FOR THE GREATER GOOD… I PROMISE!!” 😭
I have this strange need for killing off… parents… in my stories… my mom decided to count the number of stories I showed her where the parents die and now she’s just slightly worried XD (MOST ARE HISFIC THO SO IT JUST…[Read more]

You know that moment when you’re sitting in church and suddenly an AMAZING line pops into your head and it’s JUST PERFECT for a story you’re working on, but it’s the MIDDLE OF THE SERVICE and if you pull out your phone to write it down, you feel like you’re breaking the 11th commandment, so instead you sit there saying it over and over in your…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76 Oof I used to take notes but I got out of habit during lockdown 🤦🏽♀️. I’ll have to get back into it! There’s one extra incentive to, being able to jot down those perfect lines, haha 😂.

@freedomwriter76 Ooooo that sounds like a really good thought to explore… it would be so cool if the violin became like a symbol or just a meaningful part of the character’s journey, like I’m assuming Riker reaches a point where he does forgive himself but mayyyybe the point where he totally falls apart and comes to the point of turning back t…[Read more]

Hello and welcome! I’m Eliana and I’m still a youngling as well, as far as Kingdom Pen’s members go haha, but I’ve enjoyed my time here so far and hope you will too! Reading through the older forums has already been an immense help.

One of the things I love most about writing is that while a good author has a multitude of words available to him, he has the ability to condense what he wants to say into a few words or sentences–but just those few can really pack a punch! Flash fiction is to me one of the most intriguing genres; and I love to geek out over even more condensed…[Read more]

Ahhhh my HEART WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY HEART 😭
Tremendous job of pulling at my emotions (WRAP THEM AROUND YOUR LITTLE FINGER IS MORE LIKE IT). That line, “Instead all I got was you”, the way you re-emphasize it, show how it continues to haunt Riker is just perfect. I had goosebumps reading that second scene ahhh I need to see moreeee XD
