@overcomer I understand… It’s just that we goof off and chat on the Writer’s Corner, too! XD

@shannon Okay, I’m back.
First of all, I really like what everyone’s said so far.
I’ve never heard anyone else articulate the way I develop characters, but I think we all do it without noticing it. My big focus, at least for step one, is to hone in on the feel of a character.
You know how when a person comes to mind you get this certain…[Read more]

Hi y’all!
I’ve got a question for you:
In what order do you write your stories?
Figure out the plot then start writing it? Or is there another step?
As some of you may know, my WIP is a children’s book about my great-grandpa’s story in the Armenian genocide. Grandpa was just here so we sat down, pulled out the manuscripts great-grandpa left…[Read more]

Daeus replied to the topic Lack of Plot in the forum Plotting 8 years, 10 months ago
@dragon-snapper Well, it isn’t easy. I try to write down story ideas whenever I get them so that when I’m done with one novel I can have a basic idea of what the next one’s going to be about.
But, obviously, you want a plot now. Well, I do have one suggestion. One of the best sources of inspiration for me is to read other novels. I don’t just…[Read more]

Hey Kapeefers!
I’m stuck.
Not that Chosen One’s get stuck or anything… 😉
Anyway, recently I’ve decided to major things. One is that I’m taking a break from one story until I’m way older cause then it will be way better than it would be if I wrote it now (there are more reason for that, but it is what it is.) Two, is that I’m annoyed with…[Read more]

@overcomer I think there are two reasons to know your target audience.
First, so you don’t write the wrong book. For instance, if I know I want to write for seminal-Christians aged 30-45 who are in the military, that will keep me from writing a children’s fairy tale. Knowing your target audience also helps you maintain a core unity between all…[Read more]

@dekreel Nice to meet you too! Best of luck writing the story!

Thanks, @audrey-caylin!
@anyone-else-still-here I’m signing off; I’ll still be around the Kingdom, but I’m taking a break from writing.
Nice to meet you, Audrey!

Audrey Caylin replied to the topic Writers' Corner #11 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 10 months ago
@dekreel that would be totally alright!
I LOVE the idea for the Keeper Adventure! (that concept drawing is great) I bet the story is going to be awesome 🙂

@daughteroftheking I knew you’d like the Wingfeather Saga reference!! I’m dropping in other references to other books, too. 🙂
By the way, what does N.C. stand for?

Joy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #11 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 10 months ago
@audrey-caylin Yeah, It’s exactly like that! Alright, I already have a lot of characters, so I think you’ll be a minor, if that okay. 🙂 Here’s a link:

Audrey Caylin replied to the topic Writers' Corner #11 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 10 months ago
@dekreel I think I’ve seen a thread for that somewhere. Is that something like what Dragon Snapper did what the Legend of King Daeus? (I haven’t been on the forum in a terribly long time so I’m really behind on everything 😛 )
I’d love to make an appearance of it fits the story 😀

Joy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #11 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 10 months ago
@audrey-caylin *inspiration gears turning* Man, you would’ve fitted in perfectly in my KPA (KeePer Adventure)! Maybe I could give you a cameo apparence…

Audrey Caylin replied to the topic Writers' Corner #11 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 10 months ago
@dekreel okay, I’ll be careful. 😛
Alright, cool! I’ve begun to revise my plan, and your help might be just what I need 😉

@shannon Hello!
Thanks xD (It’s mostly a true story–it occurred in a forum thread a while back)

@audrey-caylin Yeah, I’m glad to be not evil, but I must warn you that I’m a bit impulsive, so if I get too excited… let’s just say it might result in an inadvertent slash. Luckily I’ve learned to do most of my “raving” in private. Sometimes it does result in claw marks on the walls, though. 😛

@dekreel that’s very cool! I’m glad you’re…not evil now 😉
My backstory consists of once owning a flying cape and an invisible sword (I stole them from the Evil Overlord). Then, on a mission into a flying castle in the clouds, they were taken back from me. I’ve been pondering how to retrieve them ever since. 😛
