ohhh I did the bubbly gal falling in love with the tall dark n handsome guy toooooo
It is my FAVORITE love trope in my writingggg!!! the journey of learning to better understand each other is so fun and developing their characters can be a total hoot and also give some tears. I would say it’s my top favorite, but I have not used it…[Read more]

@devastating-lasting
So true!!!!
I love ducks!!! they’re good pets and would make very innocent looking spies, and also information carriers if you trained them…
Chickens!!! yessss. They’d make good traveling companions!
push comes to shove eat the chikcen… muahahaha They’re also good at catching mosquitoes and other annoying bugs!! so…[Read more] -

@elfwing How about…chickens? There seems to be an underwhelming amount of chickens in fantasy except in cooking.
And ducks. And geese.

HoW aM I sUPPosED To chOoSE?!?!?
I probably use too many tbh, and I haven’t really thought about it until rn… Anyhow!!!! I actually agree with what @joy-caroline said about the “found family” trope! I was thinking about it the onther day and realized that I think every story I’ve every written may have that trope XD And I totally…[Read more]

These are incredible! Have you thought about published some poems on the KP blog? I did it once, with the poem The Journal.  You should totally do it!!
Also, welcome to KP! Feel free to join any topics that you want. Do you only write poetry or do you write fiction/nonfiction too?

…Woah, I don’t even know what to say.
These are amazing (HUGE understatement)!!!!! I’m no poet, but I like to dabble in poetry every once in a while! And when I do, I definitely enjoy it! It sounds like you really do! Is it bad to say I relate to the words you wrote a lot??? XD
Are you a poet?? Have you written anything else? If so,…[Read more]

Does anyone ever see many insects in books??
Like butterflies, ants, beetles, millipedes, caterpillars (I know they’re butterflies, but I never hear about them in this form either), grasshoppers, ladybugs, bees, etc…
I’ve heard dragonflies, spiders (technically not an insect), and lightning bugs getting tons of attention. Especially…[Read more]

Ugh, I totally get what you’re talking about! Sometimes daydream about my other books while writing a blah one, and I’m like “why am I even writing this??”
So I’d say go for it.  If you got problems, face ’em head-on. That way, you’ll be able to get over the problem more quickly. And as for your idea, I’m loving it!!! I’m per…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Secret identities —- your works sound lowkey like Durarara!, which has quite a bit of that around the climax.
Hmm…for me I find myself pulling more light novel tropes, usually, such as getting hit by a truck, white curtains blowing in a classroom, fireworks festivals, etc…. I watch too much anime…
Um…I use “the quest” a…[Read more]

@joy-caroline That sounds awesome! I’m all for parallels! Sounds like it would be hard to pull off but if you could do it, that’d be really good!

Elfwing replied to the topic Adding another perspective to my book? in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 9 months ago
wow I would say YES but I really like adding a  traumatized person to my stories and then tying in their story with the plot!
I would say as long as you make sure to keep it tied into the plot, do it. Like maybe they just miss each other or something…
anyways yes!

yesss! That’s great! 😂 love it!
Good point… I like zebras too! That’s a good idea! 😃

Okay, correct me if I’m wrong, but does this example work??
A frog hopped onto the desk, right next to the ring. “Aww! He’s kinda cute!” the antagonist squealed. “Why would they send me such a harmless–” the frog swallows the dark ring, full of powerful magic that the villain had worked so hard to get his hands on for years….…[Read more]

So I was just thinking about critters in fantasy. You know, dragons, eagles, orcs, etc. I get bored of them sometimes. (not Smaug; Smaug’s sense of humor and sarcasm will never grow old XD)
I know it’s fun to make up animals but at the same time, I like my earth critters.
I thought it would be fun to brainstorm real animals that don’t usually…[Read more]
