“So! Now that we’ve eaten and rested. I think it’s high time we find the mysterious inhabitants of this castle. Why don’t we go exploring?” Barnes suggested after consoling Hugo.
“Finally!” Rowen exclaimed, getting to his feet.
“Thank you for the meal, Ms. Barnes. Let’s get moving, Tenz just needs a few minutes. I ap…[Read more]

To be remembered not by flowers
One day, there was a little girl tree. Her trunk sprouted from the ground, firm and stable. She loved the summer, autumn, fall, and even the winter. Her roots took hold into the ground and grew deep and firm.
When next winter came, the wind was cold. It blew her over, and her trunk toppled. The other trees…[Read more] -

yeah, true.
and haha, unlike some of the other authors, my characters abandoning their half-baked resemblances of morals isn’t gonna be surprising to me, especially if they go against each other at any point.
I let my charries on a loose leash ok??? lol

I just watched the legend of Hei! Girl it was sooo sooo good! I was starting to cry at the end and like I just loved everything about it! I think it’s now my current favorite fanart! Thank you so much for the suggestion, I’ve got to make some fanart sometime lol. < 3

Making our own website would be cool.
I have no memory of joining kp and making my account. Did we have to send in an application email or something? What was it like?

I know, it is really sad 🥺
Yes, Whaley, I do remember that! It lasted for like a week or something 💀
You know what’d be really cool is if we created an offshoot of Kingdom Pen since it’s not super active in articles and stuff. Like all of us in the forum who are interested start a website similar to KP and…[Read more]

@whalekeeper Could you tag me when you post the next sections? I don’t have a character in this but I still enjoyed reading it. 😊

Esther replied to the topic Character Hunger Games (Inspired by YWW) in the forum Genre-Writing 1 year, 10 months ago
Yeah, that makes so much sense!
Oh yeah, I get that. I have a lot of writing knowledge, I just don’t always apply it 💀😂

Keilah H. replied to the topic Character Hunger Games (Inspired by YWW) in the forum Genre-Writing 1 year, 10 months ago
I have some idea of how each character would act in a survival scenario, and everyone wants to survive, buuuuuut I don’t know what each character would wish for.
tbh I’m not sure what my guys would wish for either. They’re confusing.
plus it all depends on where you caught them in their arcs.

Esther replied to the topic Character Hunger Games (Inspired by YWW) in the forum Genre-Writing 1 year, 10 months ago
No girl, I love it! I think the key to writing chaotic scenes is pacing. Like if you have a lot of long sentences people are going to get confused, but in your case, you stuck to shorter/mid-length sentences and sprinkled in only a few long ones. It worked really well 👌

Esther replied to the topic Character Hunger Games (Inspired by YWW) in the forum Genre-Writing 1 year, 10 months ago
Love it!! I love your writing style so much actually! I’m not sure what it is, but something about it makes it easy and engaging to read 🤩

“My microwave lasagna…”
Everyone stopped to stare at a slouched man in sunglasses, Joe. He shrugged. “I’m still hungry.”
Hehe I love it
Now I’m really curious what all the characters want their wishes to be. I think I know Dante’s maybe.
And Joe would probably just ask for a cup of coffee or for a mute button for his overly talk…[Read more]

@whalekeeper Cool, I’ll check it out.

@whalekeeper kind of a cool writer’s choice, everyone sees the lines as from different characters.

@whalekeeper ohh ok, in other words it could be your character speaking if you want.
although hats are a THING in Mundy’s home world. You do NOT mess with someone’s hat. So it stand to reason he’d be ticked off at them for taking it.

-
Ooo, I liked that series. I’ll have to check it out.
My favorite of her books is Fawkes. Did you ever read that one?-
Awesome! YES, that’s probably my favorite too!! The characters are so good in that one. I’ll have to reread it again soon.
(Also, if you don’t own that one, I believe it is still selling in hardcover for $1.50 on Christianbook.com. I know. Crazy!)
-
They’re not making hardcovers anymore, I think, so after they sell out that might be it.
-
No way! That is so cheep! What’s the catch?
I do own Fawkes. My brother bought it for me for my birthday.-
I know! I bought it a while ago for that price, but apparently it’s still on there. No catch, like I said, they might just be trying to sell out. You do have to pay for shipping though.
Oh, cool! That was sweet of him. Have you read the new one, Nightmare Virus?-
Wow!
How much is shipping? Is it a set price, or does it change per item?No, i haven’t read that one!
-
I’m not sure… I think it changes depending on how many items you order. But it takes adding several before the price jumps.
Yeah, it just came out. It’s pretty good! Not as good as Fawkes but the worldbuilding was interesting and as a sci-fi writer I was excited to see her write in that genre.
-
Oh cool! I’ll have to check it out.

-
-
Oh cool! I was actually interested in reading those, so I’ll have to check that out for sure!! 😃😃
-
Awesome! 😁
-
The paperbacks are also cheaper on that website, though they’re not special or anything. Just cheaper 😉
-

-
I LOVE that series! Parvin and Solomon are one of the cutest fictional couples ever!!! There’s no way I can afford this thing, but I sent the link to my parents and I’m hoping to get it for Christmas.
-
Oh, cool! 😁 I feel like you and I have very similar taste in books. We both like all the same things. I gotcha, it’s pretty pricey, but cool! Hopefully you’ll be able to get it for Christmas! 😉 (Also, like I told GRCR, they also have paperbacks on that website, which are much cheaper.)
-
When I got off yesterday I read Romanov from cover to cover! OH MY GOODNESS! It had me crying. Her books always do that to me!!!
Have you read it? (please say that you have. I want to rant about it. lol)
-

-
Sounds awesome! I haven’t read the series, but it sounds really cool! I’ll have to check if my library has it!
-
Yeah! 😁

You said ‘need’ a lot, does that mean you would only talk about death if you need to, not at any other time?
Yes.
And what time in a story would you believe it is a necessary time?
When a character does die. Characters die, there is no doubt about. Sometimes you need a character to die to improve another character’s ark. I’m just say…[Read more]

That was beautiful. I had to reread it twice ❤️
I think there were a couple times when you said “women” when you meant “woman”? (I’m sorry my grammar naziness is showing)
But anyway, I can’t pick a favorite line. How do you paint such a vivid picture with so few words?
@loopylin
Thanks girl! < 3
Oh yeah, probably. It's fine lol! Grammer nazziness is only annoying when it's done for the sole purpose of being right, and I know you're not like that.
Thank you XD idk! Honestly, it's kinda a blessing and a curse. Sometimes, I feel emotions so strongly that I get all confused and overstimulated… but if it's not too…[Read more]
Yayy you watched it! I knew you would like it. Also the poem was beautiful, I wondered at one point if she tyrned into fossilized wood because that stuff is gorgeous. :]

yes I loved it so much lol. I could see it becoming a rewatch too.
Ooh y’know that would be a interesting touch.
