Yayyy!!!  I loved that book!!  I have some free time on my hands just waiting for more Smoke and Mirrors… 😉

@autumn-rebecca

Heyy, awesome to have you here!  I’m Ella and I write all kinds of stuff too, from dystopian to fantasy to mystery.  I love reading his-fic but i’ve never worked up the courage to write it lol

Anything fun you’ve been reading recently?  I have millions of books on hold right now, but I really want to read The Inheritance Ga…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Wow, Trahia! I love these, especially the second one. I love the two girls in the center of the cover. The hairstyle, clothes, and expressions show a lot about them. Who is the girl on the top of the cover? She looks like a very intriguing character and makes me wonder what she’s so worried over. I really like her design. E…[Read more]

@anatra23

I’m SO sorry, I just saw that your question was already answered! Yikes, sorry about that

@Koshka

Yes, that makes sense:)
Ooh, yes! The apostrophes make it much more clear, I think that works great! 😀

@anatra23

Yeah, it is the singer:) I got that a little confused the first time 🙂

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

Well then, I’ll take back the cross out ‘cause most comedians probably could take a couple lessons from you.
No problem, I love giving anyone and everyone that Yoda quote (like. All. The. Time.) XD Anyway, that IS a dilemma, but sadly I can’t help you too much there. I haven’t been on KP for a while, (I try to stop…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

That post you wrote is awesome! And is actually very helpful, (probably more so than several articles out there), so even though it was written for the awesome writer Elanor, I just wanted to say that it was very good and actually inspired me to write an escape scene for my current novel!

@elanor

This scene is stacking up to be very interesting the more I hear about it! My favorite part of this (I know, I’m a cruel writer to characters) is that Kedja knows she can’t escape and that only Zlya will be able to make it out of the prison. This is great story-wise because most escape scenes get pretty much everyone out without a ton of…[Read more]

@koshka

Hi, Koshka! I love this poem 😀 I visualized it being sung by a captive like you said it would be and think that that works wonderfully:) It felt wintery and mysterious and sad and hopeful. I especially loved the last stanza and how each line in it was its own yet completely tied together. So I think that’s beautiful.
Hmmm, the only t…[Read more]

Already did.

@devastate-lasting
True. Where do all those Eastern Dragons be tho?

@trahia-the-minstrel

True. True. I actually liked the three introductions when I first read it too. I thought it was a deliberate poke at all the fantasy clichés. I hoped the story would be a somewhat fun yet heartfelt parody of the common fantasy stories. However, the rest of…[Read more]

@elanor

I have written quite a few escape scenes in my lifetime (the very nature of my stories require it to be so), and cliche escape scenes are one of my pet peeves in stories, so I think that I have a few tips that I can help you with.
First, what constitutes a “bad escape scene”?
1. It’s super easy, and it makes the villain look weak
2. It’s…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

yeah, just get to the third book and you will be amazed. =O

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

dunno, i’ve never thought about exercising just to see how many pushups i can do lol.  how bout you?? :))  also, i’m starting to get into crossfit, which is kinda fun.

@abigail-m

you didn’t have to cross the “better than a comedian” part out. I’ll take that compliment proudly.

Thanks for the story, the yoda quote, and tips. But honestly, time isn’t my problem. I have several hours of free time a day where I just lay down and stare up at the sky and contemplate my life and daydream about what could have…[Read more]

@koshka

Well, if you ever need a beta reader, critique, or anything else in the future, I am always available if you ever want. I hadn’t been critiquing or reading for awhile (very busy) but I’m happy to say that I can once again critique or you know, just give general thoughts or point out flaws and strengths that I see. But that is of cou…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

You’re hilarious XD (100% better than a comedian)  That’s devastating…

Hmm, I guess everyone may or will have different advice for you here, but I’d say the best way to keeping writing and hold onto those protein shakes, is to club your keyboard.

I mean force stuff out of your keys on spare minutes and write fi…[Read more]
