Wonderful idea, Lydia! Everyone’s lines are so entertaining and fun to read, (I love this Cathrine btw. Her references to her Uncle’s rifle are hilarious:)

“Of course I’m fine. I’ll always be fine… even when I’m not.”

“I’m not going to let you die on me this darn easy.”

I think this is very interesting! Love where you’re going with Torrent, Indy, and this mysterious cave of rebels. Beaumont sounds like he’s going to be a great side companion too, but what I find really neat about this is the involvement with Indy and the possibility of Torrent getting an alliance from these rebels to find her fat…[Read more]

Hi, JC! I adore this topic and everything you said in the description! You described writing and giving flaws to Biblical characters extremely well. It’s so true what you said that people from the Bible often feel distant and in a different universe than we are in. Which is true to an extent since they lived so long ago and dealt w…[Read more]

Wow, it has been a while since I’ve been here… feels awesome to be back:)

@godlyfantasy12

Ooh! An allegorical fantasy!? That is awesome and I was so curious as to what this story could be about when I read the title. Then as I was reading the description, I was thinking WOW! I like this a lot.

Kai sounded like such an amazing character and jus…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I think for me it was probably plot and themes. I remember when I first started writing I didn’t really know what themes I wanted to write about, how to incorporate them, or if I even wanted a theme. Now I think that everything I write has multiple themes woven throughout, though I can’t quite tell what they are. (This is why I…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver Would I like to sprint? Yes. Do I have homework to do? Yes.

@e-p-writes

Okay, I’m going to reopen The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes now. Even from what I read, though it wasn’t my favorite, I still learned a lot about writing from it. The writing style really inspired me to develop mine.

I love how you described it like poetry or song. Because it’s so true, yet it’s not blatant or distracting. Which is…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Awesome idea! And since I have unlimited power with whatever is created on the site *chuckles evilly* Biblical Fiction is now a topic under “Genre Fiction”!

If there is any technical issues with it, just let me know and I’ll get right on it!

@faith-q

Haha, well, it doesn’t really have to be exciting to be unexpected.

Like the amount of times I’ve gotten story ideas out of an unexpected look, laugh, or hello is absurd.

Have you ever gotten an idea for a certain trait for a character from a person you know?

@cathrynv

That’s cool. Now you’ll have to credit Evanescence as a co-writer…[Read more]

@e-p-writes

Oof, yeah. Present tense first person isn’t something I’ve ever tried, but I can already see it going terribly wrong, haha.

The ending is pretty good? I was always a little curious about how it was going to end, but know I’m even more intrigued. I guess I’m going to have to finish it then!

As for your questions about The Hunger…[Read more]

Do we still exist

Ranting about my new novel idea to myself in the depths of my soul. Will I share anything more than a few cryptic words? No.

@kathleenramm Plenty of places that I don’t even remember. Probably something similar to your waffle house experience. If I remember I’ll let you know.

@e-p-writes

Welcome to KP! It’s fantastic to have you!

Yo, your favorite food are definitely top tier foods.

Blue used to be my favorite color, until I started liking other colors too much and now I’m just confused, haha.

I love The Hunger Games! Each time I read it I pick up on something new. I also love how deep the POV is and how the three…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Oh, almost everything. That you had to follow prose conventions taught in school or plot outlines that followed a specific formula, that your character had to go through a very specific and obvious development, that you had to write something that followed all of these things with a reasonable and expected ending…

None of those…[Read more]

@lydia-s

Oooooo what a fun idea!!!!!!! (Also, I just LOVE LOVE LOVE your quotes!!!!!!!!)

Alrighty, here’s mine. It’s for my character Keenum in my YA fantasy novel, Heir to His Crown.

If you’re waiting for my blessing, then all I have to say is pray your death comes soon. Then the world would be very blessed indeed.

I’d never ask for mercy fro…
