I feel you guys!!  I agree with what @godlyfantasy12 said about how writing can always be a hobby.  Or a side-gig.  I feel confident enough to say (for all of us on KP) that writing is not something any of us should EVER give up!!!!  So DON’T!!!  Find a way to incorporate it into your daily life/routine.  If there…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Great stuff!!!!!  Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!!! 😃😃😃  I was raised in a Presbyterian (Reformed Calvinist) church, and though I agree with what they believe, but I agree with y’all in that denominations SHOULD NOT create division among Christians.  I have experienced division since I moved (5-ish years ago) and we still haven’t fo…[Read more]

Seia would rather jump around everywhere.

Would your character rather live off-the-grid or in the middle of the city?

@kathleenramm

I love that!!  Thanks so much!!  I especially like #9.  I can put scenes in every category that you and @erinrramm mentioned, so we’ll just see if I can put it into word form!!! 😃

@godlyfantasy12

I feel you–I’m a huge perfectionist!!!

Great idea!

@abigail-m

Thanks!!  That looks awesome, thanks!!!

Ikr?  A great example of a really good first chapter is from the Hunger Games.  I don’t know how she does it!!! 😃

@godlyfantasy12

@godlyfantasy12

I hate having to say this because I just began the daily writing quotes, but I most likely won’t be able be able to post the daily quote for about three days. (Turns out, when you go into the wilderness, you don’t get internet connection;)

But for anyone who reads the daily quote, I’m posting three here and hopefully I’ll be able to get on trac…[Read more]

Thanks:)

(It’s one of my favorites).

@nova21

Oh and btw, I completely understand about writing a first chapter that seems awful. I’m rewriting my novel and I’m basically starting from the second chapter, because every time I attempt chapter #1, it always comes out terrible.

@nova21

Your first chapter outline is extremely interesting!
Kingdom Pen has a really great article that has helped me a lot and covers just about everything on first chapters that I can think of:

@epicaddie2

Yes, Norway and Russia is a fantastic places for settings, (I haven’t done Norway yet myself). I’m no professor, but if you ever have any questions about ancient Russia, I might be able to help.

With WIPs, I usually have one that is my main focus (where I put all my resources, researching, energy, etc into) then I have a few that I work on when I need a break from my main WIP. This method might not be for everyone, but it’s worked very well so far.

@golden-knight

Welcome to Kingdom Pen! It’s great to have another KeePer here:) I’ll have to check out Scribble Society, it’s hard to find good writing resources, but if your looking to finish a first draft, NaNoWriMo has a great method.

Welcome:)
