I don’t know exactly how to help, but I’ll try. Do you want scene ideas, or a workable method to create scenes, or something else?
Here’s a list of scenes I would kinda like to see someday. Discard if not helpful or unfitting.
- Aravember chasing a butterfly.
- Ara with a splinter getting helped by November (or some other swap…

It does seem to be acting strange, but I can’t tell why. What does it look like on your end?

@godlyfantasy12 Oh wow, that’s a pretty big thing to portray. And has gotten my brain on a rabbit trail with Moses and his siblings. Some people don’t realize that when they are critical of God’s minister they are undermining of God’s authority, just like Mirriam and Aaron over Moses’s non-Hebrew wife. As Mirriam learned, that’s not a good place…[Read more]

Does he know what he will be doing is spying? Or does he think he’s supposed to watch out for Ara to keep her safe or something?
In other words, if he thinks the information being passed to his father will be for Ara’s benefit, why? Does he think that Ara could be unknowingly endangering herself, and that the King wants his…[Read more]

I was wondering if they had an accent…
Amanda has an east Texas accent/drawl. So how I normally speak. XD
Jayson is from French speaking Canada, but has very little accent due to living to the school and living with the Katz’s since he was 7.
Raphael speaks English with a central American accent, Ashkenazic Yiddish, and…[Read more]

Finally a place to share this thought!
You know you’re a writer when a random sentence in (insert language) class strikes your fancy, so you write a short story instead of finishing your lesson.
For instance:
(.אנחנו הילדים)

Let’s hope I’m not double posting this…
You know others know you’re a writer, when your dad says in front of the whole church “when my girls hear the word ‘character’, they instantly come up with things like backstory and plot.”
And when you added “character arc, weapon choice, world building” under your breath, you know it’s true.

A few George MacDonald quotes:
“Whatever is capable of aspiring, must be troubled that it may wake and aspire–then troubled still, that it may hold fast, be itself, and aspire still.”
(If you love Sir Gibbie…) “Gien I was a Burnie, wadna I rin!”
“For one moment…she fancied she saw the Lord Himself. Another woman might have made a more…[Read more]

Here’s an assortment of quotes from my WIP IFF.
“So, I smiled and waved as any other highly trained operative would do as they pencil dove from the top of a fifty-thousand story river lodge.”
“Who do you think you are, Spiderman?” Master Pinkerton glared at me over his glasses.
I straightened my collar and shrugged. “Actually I prefer James…[Read more]

Hello there, and welcome to the Kingdom of Pen! I’m Koshka, a writer of middle-grade fantasy and spy-fi (if that’s a word), besides the occasional rambling poem. I was homeschooled as you’ll find most of us Keepers are.
(I have yet to write someone I didn’t like into a book, but I have seriously considered it)
Now for the…[Read more]

Do you want individual scene ideas, or help coming up with them?
Here’s what I’m sort of doing to come up with scenes. I’m using the Save the Cat notecard system for plotting.
For Act II (fun and games) is basically the characters either “winning” or “losing” as their arc decides. So…
What is the big story point you want this a…[Read more]

Oof, that is a struggle. I’ll see what I can come up with to (hopefully) help.

I have two mixed playlists that I’ll listen to while
daydreamingstory building, one for each series. They’re basically a mixed up playlist of songs (and a few sound effects) that somehow connected to a character.So yeah, I probably should organize those more.
Then I have a playlist of just instrumentals that I’ll listen to when I’m writing…[Read more]

“Mornin’.” She nodded to the men and flashed a smile at Eleanor. “Good to meet you too.”
Eleanor gave what could have passed for a smile in Siberia. The jitters melted away from Amanda’s step. I guess she saw something I didn’t, something she understood and…[Read more]
