GREETINGS BILBO BAGGINS ~ !!

Call me G! Or GRCR… or Brotato or anything honestly, I’m not picky. I’m more of an artist and worldbuilder than writer, but I love writing a lot as well.

I know I’m three days late, but… just thought I’d stop by before and say hello befor…[Read more]

Greetings Lillian ~ !! Welcome to kingdom pen ~ !!

I’m G or GRCR or Gia… I don’t bite when it comes to names. I’m your average teenage procrastinator who never finishes projects. But don’t mind me ~

I love the idea of opening a fantasy themed tavern / inn.…[Read more]

Greetings, Stellybean, welcome to kingdom pen ~ !!

They call me G around these parts. Actually, they call me GRCR but I like regular degular G just as much.

I am three days late to the welcome party (or, actually you joined yesterday so one day…[Read more]

@liskaboyce

You literally just answered the question I’ve been asking myself: why have I never finished first drafts? It’s because the middle of my book always feels forced!!!

There you have it! When I talk with people, either about my own work or theirs, that section in between the inciting incident and the midpoint is almost always the pro…[Read more]

@bilbo-baggins

The highest word count I have for a project is 20,068 words. Unfortunately that project has been long abandoned, but I hope to exceed that word count with a new story! What about you?

The highest I have is 17.5k. Also a long-abandoned project 🙂

Out of curiosity, what is your favorite book/movie of LotR? I’m a Two Towers girl…[Read more]

@lillian

That is about what happens to me 😂 I often will think up like movie characters that seem to fit the one I’m trying to write and then base a lot of stuff of that as far as appearance goes. Once I took a character, based them off of Han Solo, and then called him Harrison. I was feeling really creative. 🤣

@reaganramm

Thank you so much!! I actually really like that 10 milestone framework! I have heard of the 5 milestone framework and have attempted using it before, however I then realized that it absolutely destroys my plot when I have to fill in gaps by pantsing 😅 I will definitely try this!

@whalekeeper

Is it possible that the structure…

@whalekeeper

ah, I see, I see.

thats so exciting !! Eeeee I need to find some time to say hello to everyone. ✨

@loopylin

Rallascant, you fuzzy snitch. You’re the opposite of a lucky rabbit’s foot.

I do appreciate your sass, but this is remarkably unhelpful.

@liberty Also praying for you

I have the desire to add a new little guy to this. A guy with fun frilly sleeves

Moth

Well done. Moth’s chest rose a little.

He tilted his head in a sort of shrug, eying his attempt. It looked like he had some skill – even though that was not true. His initial wish for the shot had been much humbler. “I must make offerings to serendipity in my sleep. How do I know where the arrowhead will fly?”

@liskaboyce

Yeah, the middle part of a story is always the weirdest part. Koshka and Quicksilver made good points. I think a huge part of it is coming up with obstacles, and then connecting them to lead to the midpoint.

Follow-up question. Is it possible that the structure isn’t the issue, but that it’s incredibly difficult to think of actual…[Read more]

@koshka

I’ll see if I can borrow this through my library! I was planning to get into my local library this week anyway. Interlibrary loans should give me access to this.

I haven’t read Adorning the Dark, but I’ve heard of it. I’ve heard good things about it. It has a lovely title.

@grcr

In the space of a couple days, we’ve started making new accounts for people again, and this is the result. Lots of people. 😅

This is awesome! Congrats to Whaley and Koshka for becoming mods (I already congratulated Ellette on being the Queen of KP)

@stellybean

Hello and welcome!!! I am Liska Boyce, aspiring YA fantasy author! It’s wonderful to meet you!

Some Questions to Ponder:

Are you a cat, dog, or dragon person?

If you got to pick four fictional people to create a crew to go on adventure with, who would you choose and why?

What genres of books/movies are your favorites?
