I am in need of some book recommendations. Preferably fantasy, sci-fi, and historical fiction. Also something with action. I have read like half of Narnia, the Hobbit (but not the LOTR), and the first bo…[Read more]

Congratulations, @aislinn-mollisong!
@that_writer_girl_99Â Let’s see……
How to Get Inspired to Write when you’re Stuck:
- Take notes. That’s the left-brained thing to do. I would take notes on the plotline and the characters’ motivations to let yourself know how exactly things are going to turn out for them, and how they react.
- Listen to…

Daeus replied to the topic The Last Jedi in the forum Film 7 years, 5 months ago
@that_writer_girl_99 Yeah, I Renreyed (new word) the moment Ren took his helmet off.
Which isn’t really like me, but… the movie made me do it!
Btw, guys, you gotta understand that Snoke was actually really cool. Not because he was a scary villain, but because he wasn’t a scary villain. His perpetual good humor is something you almost never see…[Read more]

@That_writer_girl_99 I’m pretty sure Daeus has always shipped Rey and Kylo Ren… 😂
@Dragon-Snapper I will be back tomorrow to refute everything you just said with my irrefutable logic. Beware. *waves fork ominously*

@ethryndal That’s a really intriguing idea, about the Knights of Ren. It seems like either they would have to take over as main villains, or Episode 9 wouldn’t really have one, because Kylo…[Read more]

Ethryndal replied to the topic The Last Jedi in the forum Film 7 years, 5 months ago
@That_writer_girl_99 Besides all of it? Hrrrrrm…. I don’t know. All of it. Gotta say, I loved the dimension between Kylo and Rey. Platonic or romantic, either way it was great. So much added complexity for him (*snorts* As if he didn’t need enough…) And the fight against the Praetorian Guards… OH. MY. GOODNESS. *dies* What was your favorite…[Read more]

@That_writer_girl_99 I do hope he comes back, just not if it means we’ll have a ten year time gap or something to accommodate him, like some people are speculating. ‘Cause that would be weeeeeird… I thought it was cool though, because those three kids were a girl and two boys, kinda like Luke, Han, and Leia. It’s like the cycle is starting…[Read more]

Thanks for tagging me @dekreel
This is more for fantasy or sci-fi. If you have something in your world that is different than the real world, you should think out how it will impact every part of your storyworld, as much as possible. It is better to have fewer, well-thought out changes, than many small, shallow…[Read more]

Getting Past The Blank Spot in My Brain
When I get writer’s block, one of the best things I can do is go talk to my characters. I find that making myself write a dialogue actually unlocks another part of my brain to help me solve the problem (usually, for me, it’s how to continue the plot). For exa…[Read more]

Okay, so I’m reading the Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis for the first time. Needless to say, it’s amazing.
But I’m stuck on the third ghost (I think) that the narrator watches in the Valley of the Shadow of Life. It’s the ghost who tries to steal one of the apples, then the waterfall tells him to put it down, that he can’t take it back to Hell, yet…[Read more]

Quick question: Can it be specific like “how to write a good fight scene” or does it have to be something universal like writer’s block or grammar?

I went to see The Last Jedi on Tuesday, and I LOVED it. First of all, it was so visually appealing– the effects were stunning. Second of all, I really want one of those frozen fox critters, as well as one of those space horses that they freed on that one planet (I can’t…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99 Sorry, didn’t know you were a Star Wars fan! Just a Doctor Who fan 😉
It did have a lot of parellels!
So what do you think?
- Is Kylo Ren going to stay the Emperor, or is he going to join Rey? He’s very unstable
- Is Finn going to fall for Rey or Rose? XD

Hey guys, sorry it took me a bit to get back. 😛 Thanks so much for all your feedback, it was so helpful.
I think I might have found a different option though… what do you guys think of Valiant?

Hi, guys! It has been 1 month, 7 weeks, 3 days and 15 minutes (not that I’m counting) since I first introduced myself onto the forums. And now, 1 month, 7 weeks, 3 days and 15 minutes later I’m a Knight in Shining Armor! I sort of can’t believe that I became one so fast! Is it a record…?

@dekreel, you’ve been such an awesome, cheerful addition to the community. Thank YOU.

Wow. It’s only been that long? It feels like you’ve been here forever. In a good way. 😀 😉 😀

*smothers you in bear hug* I’m so glad you came here! KP would be missing something without you in it.

Wow, has it really only been that long?
And I agree, I think you’ve made a record. It took me a while to get to Knight In Shining Armor.
I’m so glad you joined! Just like @daughteroftheking said, Kingdom Pen would be missing something without you!

Now to go find the comment… 😉
Do you blog at all?
I don’t, but I have been considering it since I saw your blog. Now I really want to! 😀
You totally should! It’s a blast 😀
Aww thank you, Dekreel! 😀
Yesss, I concur with Audrey. You should get a blog. *nodnod* It’s really fun.
