Jaybird replied to the topic What do you love most about your current WIP? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 3 months ago
I LOVE world building, and my characters are very dear to me. I can spend hours on the first, and the second have been introduced to my friends and family as acqaintances of highest regard.
However, what I like best about both of them, is how they contain bits and pieces of real stories. Even my WIP that would not at all be…[Read more]

First, my apologies for the belatedness of this response. Thankfully I haven’t forgotten that I didn’t reply yet, as has happened on occasion. (If I ever don’t reply to something for a looong time, that is probably exactly what happened.)
Medieval Fantasy has been quite the adventure to write! I don’t know if I’m good at it or…[Read more]

I am stepping back from KP and most writing for a little while. Hopefully life will settle down soon so I can come back, but for now I need a break. ~Koshka

Koshka replied to the topic What do you love most about your current WIP? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 3 months ago
For my current WIP it would either be the themes or characters, as they are heavily intertwined. It’s the first project I was able to pin down a point of focus before starting the book.
(I don’t pants, however I’m not sure if what I do counts as plotting. I have nearly the entire storyline in my head, but only a few scenes figured,…[Read more]

Greetings, @freedomwriter76 and welcome to KP!
I’m called Elishavet around here, and I mostly write realistic(no magic) medieval fantasy. I also write poetry and children’s church material.
While I have never actually written historical fiction, I love to read it. One thing I like about the genre I do write is that I can work in as many random…[Read more]

Viktor
Silence descended upon them, letting only thought move. Viktor fingered his sling and waited for the sound of heavy footsteps.
Rough leather between his fingers, smooth stones at his belt. He glanced at Alya. She clutched her torch and gave him something like a smile.
What would happen…[Read more]

Jaybird replied to the topic How to make a side character more interesting? in the forum Characters 4 years, 3 months ago
Ah, good question. I’m far from an expert on this, but I have been in a similar situation with some characters.
His name was Reúven, my MCs closest friend who in some ways was like a mentor. He was also on the edge of being perfect and flat. He wasn’t really human.
So I stepped back and looked at his character. After a bit of…[Read more]

So, I’m still working on my playlists, which is why I haven’t shared any songs yet.
But I really want to share some!!! So, here we are.
Oh, by the way, @Koshka and @lydia-s You have good taste. 😉 Sight and Sound is awesome! They’re one of the first I go to for bookish songs.
Also, I have had a hard time getting songs for my…[Read more]

I’m sorry y’all. I’ll try to get something more submitted tonight, but if I can it will be way late so don’t wait for me. In fact I don’t know if I’ll have much free time for a bit; this week is already cramped.
*Sigh*

@godlyfantasy12 @emilysf @koshka
Yes, I do. Unfortunately, the extreme busyness that has kept me mostly off here for the past week continues. This why I am once more quite belated, despite having started (and nearly finished) a response multiple times.
However, here it one is! May it fill the needs it needs to.
Alyona
Dorwainian gaurds may be…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 @emilysf @koshka
I’m sorry I haven’t responded. We’ve been busy preparing for like, four different things coming up. Although I’ve started a reply twice, neither were finished.
So! Here goes.
Alyona
Thankfully, the lady took it. She looked much better off wrapped in thick wool.
Alyona knew what a sacrifice it was for her…[Read more]

Zlatan and Vulkasin
“She?” once again the conversation had shifted to that silent third person. Nyx.
Apparently the fox answered, because Ara turned to Victor and Alyona. “Any idea who she is?”
The siblings glanced at each other. “Ah.” Victor slipped something glinting into his belt. His mantle was…[Read more]

I don’t know. I think they’re about to run into the other group just now, but after that, who knows?

Ok, so now my characters are in an interesting predicament, as I’m trying to get a former hand on both of them.
This may get most interesting.
Alyona
“I… I … don’t. I’m…” the stranger fumbled for words, becoming less formidable by the second. A draft blew down the passage causing Alya’s light to dance and the…[Read more]

I’m sorry y’all. I just found time to actually sit down and write.
Vulkasin
Apparently Lyn had as much a desire to kill them all as his Endurance Instuktor. The older Vulk’s voice kept calling back to him, Run till you drop, and v’en you do remember, I’m be’ind you. So keep going.
But Lyn was ahead…[Read more]

Jaybird replied to the topic Character Castle! in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 3 months ago
Okay! I do kind of want Alyona and Viktor to join the group again. Partially because there may be some interesting potential yet to be explored there, and also because I almost want to see what would happen if my protagonists run into my Villain. As far as I know, they never do in the books. Or rather, when they do, it’s like…[Read more]
