@reaganramm

I found KP by accident, believe or not! I read tons of blogs and stuff, so in all my searching for resources for young writers, I happened upon KP. The blog has been a HUGE help to me throughout my writing journey!

@lillian

Yeah I totally get that. I have a cast of about 6 main characters and they all decided to rotate favorites in my head until I figured out who they actually all are 😅 How do you come up with character ideas? Do they just come to you or do you have to sit down and go through a process to figure them out?

The House: *emo hair flip* “Bro, you just don’t get me.”

This house is actually such a fun idea. That was just my first thought for some reason when I read that part 😂😭

Actually though, I love that so much!!!! 🤣 That is lowkey House for sure!

@bilbo-baggins

I know, I’ve been practicing 😞

One day. Do not lose hope.

You should try it.  It’s very good and does not actually taste like butter, despite what the name would imply.

And fear not. You will not be defenestrated today.

I use graphite mostly, but I sometimes use charcoal pencils, watercolor, acrylics and recently have gotten into digital.

Cool, I’ve just started doing digital art recently too!

ummmm I have no idea…..

In my opinion the objective answer is ‘snallygaster’ 😛

@lillian

I seriously am already in love with your characters!! That is the kind of blurb that causes me to pause while scrolling through endless stories on my library’s app. I would so read that!

Now I have to ask: Of the four you mentioned, who is your favorite? Who is your least favorite? And, if you don’t mind sharing, why?

@koshka

Sure why not?! I’m in!

@whalekeeper @koshka

Thanks for the advice! I have spent the past five years learning as much as possible about plot structure. I’ve tried (among other things) the snowflake method, the 3-act story structure, numerous authors’ plotting structures, and pantsing. Sarra Cannon has been a recent follow for me, but her methods all use color coding and…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

How would you describe House’s personality? 😛

House is normally pretty fun-loving and friendly. Right now it is depressed and angry (think stereotypical teenage angst type thing) which leads to it’s lashing out towards the other characters. One morning, for example, my characters woke up to find the kitchen totally flooded o…[Read more]

1. I LIKE TO READ. AND RUN. AND PLAY PIANO. NOT AT THE SAME TIME.

What, you don’t do it at the same time? Sounds like a skill issue to me. (jk)

Now I expect you to answer all of these question as well.

1. Reading, drawing, 3D modelling, and videogames!

2. YES (my favorite is Vantage, which is like if an open-world videogame was…[Read more]

Guys, I have to write little informative summaries of the roleplays and post them on their respective topics. Because otherwise, we have chaos on our hands. I will do that when I have time.

@koshka

“Alcarna, Firefly. Well done.”

Yaayyy! Rare Ari smile.

I will post a continuation of the story when I get home.

@liskaboyce

 I have yet to hit 20k in a first draft, so that is goal #1. Then beyond that, yes I am trying to hit 50k. But if I manage to hit 20-25k it’s a win in my book!

Oh yeah, 20k is always the first goal. And some of my projects never make it past that point, I’ll admit.

Ooh, Kingdom Pen should do a NaNoWriMo spinoff forum for anyone in…

Hello Lillian!

(Takes a deep breath to introduce myself for the third or fourth time in the last 24 hours)

I am Whaley. I am a crazy creative who likes world-building, plotting secretive lore, history, antique-collecting, drawing, listening to music, and taking care of many pets. A fun fact about me is that my great-grandparents were associated…[Read more]

Naturally. All in the name of research. *grins thinking of all the things that could be considered “research”* So I could visit Middle-Earth for at least a century or so for research then, lol 🙂

Ryuu is very charming and loves to spar in the training rings.

Sparring is a beloved activity here. :-p There are sparring mats inside the gym and pells for dummy practice right outside the gym.

@ellette-giselle

Thank you so much!!! I’ll have to check it out!!
