@morgan Since it’s your book and I haven’t read it, I can’t really say whether it will “ruin” your book, however I think if you want to do it, go for it! Ultimately, whenever I have to make a decision about my story, I decide with my gut/heart. Do you want this? Will it make you love your story more? If yes, do it! And by the way, I think that s…[Read more]

@faith-q Hello Faith! I’m one of the KP interns and I write mainly historical and fantasy!

That’s awesome that you’re learning ASL! I’m studying Auslan (which is Australian Sign language) at the moment in the hope of becoming an interpreter!

Also, that’s a lot of siblings! I only have four and that’s more than almost anyone else I know 😛

@kathleenramm I think you may have tagged the wrong person! 😛

@sami-eastwood Hello! My name is Chelsea/SeekJustice, and I’m a very tired writer from New South Wales (which is in Australia, not Wales, confusingly). What sort of stuff do you write? Personally, I mainly write historical fantasy, with a little straight historical, and a little straight fantasy here and there. but historical fantasy is my sweet…[Read more]

@relia

I like you already! I also talk like Gollum on a regular basis, and I probably should have a psych evaluation. 😛

May I ask where in the world you come from? Be as vague as you like. I’m from New South Wales, which isn’t in Wales unfortunately, and is actually in Australia. I would love to learn Welsh one day though.

What sort of books…[Read more]

@morgan

Haha, I’m not an American so I have absolutely no idea what the original 13 states are lol 😛

Oh, those are some great books! C.S. Lewis is a particular favourite of mine 🙂

@morgan Hello! I’m Chelsea, one of the interns at KP, and we’re so happy to see you! If you don’t mind me asking, whereabouts are you from? (be as vague as you like!) I’m from somewhere in outback Australia. And do you have any favourite books or authors?

@kathleenramm That’s hilarious!

Well, I couldn’t decide between my current WIP and my last WIP so I decided to do them both.

My current WIP:

1. Mere, the POV protagonist and a rather fiery girl who won’t take no for an answer, but in reality is deeply insecure.

2. Gabe, her brother and a renowned botanist about to embark on a voyage of…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Glad I could be of help!

@milena Hi there! Lovely to have you here! KP is such an awesome place where we just get to hang out with other God-focused authors and chat about random stuff, and it’s so much fun!

Hmm…let’s see…Some questions! Where in the world are you from? (Feel free to be as vague as you like!) And do you have any pets? Or if you don’t, would you like some?

@joy-caroline

Hopefully I can be of some help! I’m by no means an old writer (though I occasionally feel old amongst all the young teenagers on here 😛 ), but I feel like I have some experience with this topic.

When I was a really young teen (13/14/15, even all the way up to 17) I tackled some pretty heavy topics in my writing and I really did…[Read more]

@lydia-s  @abigail-m @elfwing @gracie-j @everyonelsewhocommentedwhovebeenforgotten

This thread has been really fun to read! Sadly, I’ve never written a proposal scene before and I am not likely to write one any time soon 🙁 Only one pair of my characters canonically get married and its technically after the story ends. Maybe I could add in a…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I don’t usually write it down right away. I usually just let it percolate (my favourite word, mainly because its so bizarre) in my head for a while. And if I remember it, that means I’m obsessed with it and that’s when I get a physical notebook and start making notes and outlines for it! Mostly I just forget my ideas, which is fine…[Read more]

@beth-darlene

Hello Future Me is my favourite writing YouTuber and his videos tend to be pretty ok/don’t need much censoring for language or anything like that. They’re very helpful and insightful!

@gracie-j

Aww, you are too sweet 😀 *blushes furiously*

Well, I am hoping to rewrite it later this year, so…

@ilena-louise

Hello! You sound like a fantastic and fascinating addition to the kingdom of pen! I’m Chelsea, one of the interns, but I tend to go by SeekJustice on the forums. I’m a weird Australian, but other than that it sounds like we share a lot of interests!

The Middle Ages are awesome! My particular history hyperfixation is WW1, but…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Ok, so I had a go at rewriting the scene and it was actually quite fun! I felt like I saw a side of the two characters that I didn’t see when I was originally writing the first draft. (by the way, this is an enemies to lovers relationship, which I know you love!)

And then they weren’t dancing anymore. They were standing in the…[Read more]

@gracie-j

None of my men are keen on showers or cologne unfortunately, it comes of being pirates, werewolves and revolutionaries for the most part 😛

Alright, you asked for it… 😀

They stood there for several seconds, as if stunned by the performance they’d just put on, hands clasped together like they hadn’t been since their wedding day…[Read more]

Well, I’m a little late to the conversation but I’m keen to get on board! I’m not much of a romance writer (or reader) and my kiss scenes are so awkward and stilted, lol. Any tips for the twenty-year-old who hasn’t got past the “ew, boys are gross” stage of life?

@gracie-j

@kathleenramm I’ve only read two of his superhero sci-fi books and they were all right, but not brilliant. So far, that’s been my impression of Sanderson, all right but not brilliant. I will keep reading though!
