Oh, something that might be interested is that I like to climb things, but am scared of heights, and I like exploring caves and other tight places, but can easily get claustrophobic, in which case I WANT OUT RIGHT NOW!

@faith-q

Well. . . let’s see 🤔. Do I have any good stories? There was that time at church (I was maybe 10-12) when I was helping the teacher (my mom) with a lesson. The theme for that quarter was like wild west, and we had WANTED posters for “people” (Rebellion, Laziness, Hate, Ect.) I was supposed to play the part of the outlaw Rebellion. I was…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel I love that! Thanks for sharing!

@karissa-chmil I totally get that. It took me DAYS of designing my blog until I was happy with it.

@devastate-lasting That’s cool! I’ve done a lot of genres myself… but I’m trying to get into more fantasy. But I’ll do pretty much anything.

@karissa-chmil I love your blog so much!! You did a great job on it.

@devastate-lasting Yeah, I totally get that! I’m trying to complete some of the projects I have now so I can move on and have less to do.

What genre do you normally like writing in?

@karissa-chmil Yes, what happened was really sad! I’m also curious about your blog. I don’t remember if I’ve seen it or not, since I’m subscribed to so many blogs now lol.

@karissa-chmil Thank you!

@autumn-rebecca Yeah, it’s helped me grow so much, and in just a month too! My Writerscore went from 70 to 79 in the full time I’ve been there. I also love the lesson they’re doing for this month, it has been very empowering for me.

@devastate-lasting Thanks! Right now my favorite project to work on right now is my…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel I don’t know who Zuko is, but if you see him as a good character he counts. Also, I totally see why you’d pick #4 for a Marvel character–they can get out of things by themselves, what with all their cool stuff!

Also, you’re allowed more than one character for liking or hating. I can see why your choices annoyed you;…[Read more]

Pirate talk,
Ahoy there! Ye lilly livered, scurvy ridden, bilge rats! Ye landlubbers will address me as Cappan! an If ye think ye rapscallions to be to high and mighty to address me as such, well, me and by bucko will give you a checkered shirt with a dirty cat o’ nine tails, then lock ye up in the brigg fer a week, after which, if we feels like…[Read more]

Ooh, this is so cool! So… do I just like talk about anything, or what? I mean, it’s been a busy past week, because I have SO MANY writing projects I’m working on. It’s crazy! I also posted my first author spotlight post on my blog: https://annabelle.batie.com/author-spotlight-laura-martin/

So, yeah, I’ve been renovating my novel, working on…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Depends. 90% of what I write is fanfictions*, so I already have several characters–and can just work out a plot and maybe a few more characters.

But for my original story, I got a plot and main character at almost the same time. Right now, I’m working more on creating characters and the world than I am the plot.

*The fanfiction…[Read more]

@madelyn  Ooh! I haven’t read any fairytale retellings, but a few friends of mine told me about a show they watched which was basically about all the different fairytales mixed together. Like, the descendant of a character from one story was a character from another, etc.

I’ve read the original Rumpelstiltskin story (a few different versions,…[Read more]

So @karissa-chmil I don’t know if this qualifies as very short bits of our books, but here are some excerpts from a conversation between Braxton Redoak and Destiny . . . (I don’t have a last name for her.) They are both foxes.

(Spoken by Braxton)

“You have it wrong. Not ‘join our cause’. It’s no longer ours. It’s only yours.” He lifted up before…[Read more]

@jasmine-godby

Hi! I wasn’t even here when you first appeared so I didn’t get to drive the newbie crazy welcome you to KP! So, I suppose I will welcome you back for reappearing. Welcome back! And to celebrate the occasion, here *Holds out sword 🗡️* let’s have a duel! If you don’t know how to use a sword, well. . . all the better for me! (I’ll…[Read more]

@abigail-m It’s very cool! I like the fact that the story’s about animals (rabbits in particular), yet there’s a bunch of battles and cool stuff in it. Also that it’s not super violent even though it’s about a war–the author wrote it for kids.

@abigail-m I don’t mind Fitz, but I can see why people might. I’m just happy that you’ve also heard of the KOTLC series…..I like it, and it was funny when they told Sophie to “make him look pretty in pink.”

Sam is awesome! He was a great character, that’s for sure. And he’s kind of forgotten in the corner most of the time, which makes it all…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel Awesome!

@godlyfantasy12

Okay, that makes sense.

So, do you have any ideas for your antagonist? What are your characters’ goals (especially the MC)? How does your antagonist oppose those goals?

I also love how you’re using some ideas from the Wingfeather Saga!

And I’m also SUPER curious what happened to their dad…

I hope you don’t mind if I pop in here!

1. Yes, I felt that way about Imogen from the Ascendance Series by Jennifer A. Nielson. She was nice, I guess, but I didn’t really connect with her. I think part of the problem was that she had like zero personality.

2. I’m going to go with Orion from my WIP. I would pick 2 or 4 for him. I absolutely hate…[Read more]

@karissa-chmil The Green Ember was great! And I totally get the “depends on the time in his character arc” thing. There are characters I only liked because I knew they’d turn good later. Otherwise I would’ve been like “That guy? Seriously?”

I hope that wasn’t confusing.
