*crickets chirping* *peeps head around corner, decked out in retro clothes and light-up boots that totally aren’t in style anymore*

Eh, could I jump into this? I didn’t think invitations were needed… Anyways, uh, I’ll introduce myself as well! My name is Alexa, though most folk ’round here know me as Lexi. Either is fine by me. Oh,…[Read more]

SUUURPRISSE!!!

Happy birthday, and Welcome to the kingdom pen forum, in case you didn’t already know, I am the host of this party, although it didn’t go completely according to plan…. I’m glad to have you here.

want some fruit from my epic fruit bowl? And here is your birthday present.

What’s it called when someone gets salt thrown…[Read more]

I don’t want to see this writer’s corner bite the dust like the last one, so I figured I’d see if any of y’all were around to chat. How’s everybody’s WIPs doing?

@issawriter7

So sorry it’s taken me this long to reply! *facepalms* I’m honestly so forgetful about these things! Anyways, girl that was SO helpful, thank you! That really helped me figure out what the climax is supposed to look like and how to properly heighten the tension!!! And THANK YOU for that article!!! <333

@godlyfantasy12

Heya!!!! Ooo, yeah, so that was a plug-in I found. The site I’m using is a wordpress.org site and not a .com (I don’t know if things change for different platforms… yes there is a difference. 😉 ) but I had heard about this free plug-in that you can install and activate on your WordPress site. What I did was go under the section…[Read more]

@nova21

Thank you so much for your input!! I’m totally thinking about coming up with one!! <33

@ariel-f

Thank you! That was very helpful and duly noted! 🙂

@seekjustice

I couldn’t agree more! I never thought about it being more ‘accepted’ in some areas of writing as opposed to others… Thanks, Chelsea!:)

@joy-caroline

First of all, YAY!!! I am so excited for you about starting a new novel, and that summary sounds so interesting!!! *high-fives* Secondly, *rubs hands together*, I’m chock-full of tips about fantasy writing, so let’s get into it.

#1 Read (and study) fantasy. When you’re looking to explore a new genre of writing, the first and f…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

There’s not really any secret. I just put letters together until I’m satisfied with the name. Another thing you can do (which I learned from Jennifer A. Nielsen) is to take a name–let’s say Alabama–and then you just keep replacing the letters in that word until you’re satisfied with the result. So for Alabama, I might first change…[Read more]

@elfwing @daisy-torres

I think the forum moderator can delete posts….

But it should be fine.

oh wait i need to add a joke…..

JOKE!

@sparksaraabbott11 Yup. Got that right.

RULE UPDATES

1. Introduce yourself one at a time

2.  The “lol”s must come naturally. So you know what that means….

3. WAIT FOR THEM TO INTRODUCE THEMSELVES FIRST!!!! It’s a surprise party after all

Stop whistling innocently and hit her with the stick already. SHE CAN’T KNOW. SHE CAN’T.

Good idea.

RULE UPDATE: ONE AT A TIME PEOPLE.

I’ll add these rules to the main topic.

@daisy-torres

To be honest, I wasn’t too sure about the sound of that cookie recipe either. I just didn’t say anything to be nice. Let me know when you think of a new recipe to bring to the party. And maybe test it first this time?

Oh yeah, keep that cheesy joke in the bag. Keep it secret. Keep it safe.

@gracie-j @sparksaraabbott11 @writerlexi1216 @devastate-lasting @joy-caroline

Okay everybody, that was a great practice round. Put away all your foods and gifts and sweep up the confetti.  We can’t exactly all come out and yell “SURPRISE” when they haven’t even walked into the room yet sooooooooo. Remember, I said the next HUMAN to join the…[Read more]

@sparksaraabbott11

I’m glad you think so.

@sparksaraabbott11

epic.

@joy-caroline

Heeeyyy! Wait, are you writing a fantasy?  Let’s go Joy! ;P

Well, let’s see…  When I come up with place names, I like to use fantasy name generators.  I don’t always use exactly what they generate, but it gives me a jumping off point to create and combine different styles according to each of the worlds’ traditions.  Som…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

I have a pen name for privacy reasons only, although I’ll probably change it to my real name if/when I publish.  I’m all for pen names, though–they’re fun and creative and can draw a reader in just like your cover and title can (in a way).  If you want to, I think it would be fun for you to come up with one.  That may just be me…[Read more]

@daisy-torres

Wait, it isn’t? *adjusts monocle and leans in to squint at screen* Interesting! (I mean, I just changed my internet name to Alexa ‘Autorski’ because why not have a fake Polish name? XD) Ahh, that makes sense! I didn’t think of that, that maybe readers would remember me better. That’s very helpful to know, thank you! I appreciate the…[Read more]
