@beth-torres No problem! Don’t worry, your egood! 😁

Yeah, I think 3 a day still should for me!

@kyronthearcanin @jonas

If it were in a published book I would think ‘this isn’t very good,’ but for what it is, it’s not bad. How were you that good at seven?

Exactly!! That’s pretty insane, lol.

@kyronthearcanin

Hey, that’s amazing that you’re coming back to KP!

I don’t think we’ve really met…but I’m Sara (if you hadn’t already deduced that by my profile name…XD)!

I write mostly fantasy, but a little sci-fi and contemporary and basically whatever lol

I’m excited to get to know you on here!

@mineralizedwritings

Oooh I loved that…[Read more]

Liv 

She pursed her lips. What an awkward question!

“Well…” she bit her lip. “What exactly do you want to know?”

@everybody

Hey, what are we reading to now? Or… what are we doing?

@kyronthearcanin

oh, lol 😅 I see.

@kyronthearcanin

😮 …you wrote a ton…

@ellie-wingfeather

If we’re counting completed drafts, even if they’re of the same story then I have… four. Including incomplete drafts (and drafts of stories I wrote when I was nine) then that’s… ten? I think? Maybe 12, but I deleted those docs and can’t remember if they were completed or not.

Now, counting completed drafts and short stori…[Read more]

Woah, that post is massive. Sorry Janessa for hijacking your topic 🤣

@savannah_grace2009 @whalekeeper @trailblazer

Oh… oops. XD I didn’t know this would start a whole discussion. But that’s okay! It’s really interesting to hear y’all’s opinions.

I wasn’t necessarily trying to say that publishers aren’t looking for a good book. I’m just saying that publishers can be really harsh with what they accept and what t…

Unless it was a historical fiction or something, which doesn’t allow that sort of thing.

Fawkes and Romanov by Nadine Brandes are both historical fiction with fantasy mixed in. They’re both really good.

@ellie-wingfeather

I have only ever finished a flash fiction piece, a short story, and a cringy picture book when I was like seven. But I have a ton of started and abandoned ideas, ranging from like a page long to 20k words. I’m not sure if I’ll ever finish any of them, but I might go back to some eventually.

Now I lean towards softer science…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Hey, my current novel is 26k too! lol

@ellie-wingfeather

I’ve only ever finished two long stories.
One was about four kids who go to another world…It can be found in the topic “what’s the cringiest thing you’ve ever written”.

And one was about a broken family who learns to love each other. I’ve never posted ANY of this.

I have a huge binder full of stories I’ve started but never…[Read more]

@ellie-wingfeather

Oof, I’ve completed one book before, but I was twelve when I wrote it, and it was terrible… If we’re counting starts of stories, well I’ve written hundreds!

I used to write a lot of contemporary fiction, but I try to write fantasy. Right now, my story is a mix of both those two. 😅

@trillianewingfeather

Heyy! I’m Sara, though most people around here call me…well, they call me Sara. XD

Anyways, I’m a chocolate consuming, emotionally unstable, sleep deprived, algebra loving, public school attending freshman!

Here are some random questions:

Do you ever talk to yourself?

Have you ever subconsciously narrated parts of your…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @esther-c @trailblazer

Okay…I think I’m just not good at saying what I mean. Let me try again, haha!

But Esther has a good point of view, that publishers are also looking for well-written material to a degree, because readers like good writing, and therefore good writing will sell. I’m not saying all readers have quality taste, but…

@esther-c

 So ummm…. There’s a reason they reject you… it’s because your writing’s not good enough (for the most part). So yeahhh… And if you’re going to be a good writer, you have to learn how to deal with rejection. If you can’t, then… I’m sorry. XD Anyway, that’s just what I was thinking during the whole video and I wanted to rant about i…
