@kathleenramm Mm I think because when I was thinking up the project I was mainly focusing on the MC and his character arc, and decided only to make other characters that would be essential to the plot that the MC should meet. This way I don’t need to deal with extra underdeveloped characters that drag on to the plot and themes. Also the themes and…[Read more]

@koshka

Yes! Characters and themes are usually what I get attached to most in both stories I write and read.

@freedomwriter76

Forgiveness is a really great theme! And also one that I don’t see to too often in stories. Do you have a method of how you choose the themes for you stories?

Having all the pieces fall into place is…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76 Heh thanks I’m really enjoying writing it.

Oo, nice! I’ve never completed a fanfic, let alone wrote one that long, lol.

@freedomwriter76 Haha, from the profile picture and the fanfiction, yes, I would say it is.

@freedomwriter76 *flashbacks to our numerous aesthetic/moodboard channels over the years*

Wow, yours all look really good! You must really like Marvel, eh?

@freedomwriter76 Oo noice. My current favorite WIP is a scifi retelling of Cain and Abel mixed with the Parable of the Prodigal Son.

Noice, 27k words is a lot! You got this, I believe in you!

@freedomwriter76 Wowow, that sounds awesome! What stage of writing it are you in?

*chuckles nervously* Which WIP?

@freedomwriter76 Sure sure, go for it! It’s been a while since anyone’s told me about their book XD

@freedomwriter76 Wow, lots of Christian music. You can also make playlists on Youtube if you have that.

Great selection! Makes me want to hear more about your WIP.

@freedomwriter76 I like them enough, don’t actively follow them but they have some songs I really like, haha. They’re pretty catchy.

Do you have any playlists you’d like to share?

@freedomwriter76 I write them when I have time and inspo, heh.

Here’s one for like the last novel I was working on last year:

@freedomwriter76 I make playlists occasionally for short stories if I’m feeling bored, or just add songs I think fit with a novel to a playlist to eventually sort out, heh. I think they’re somewhere on Spotify? I’d share if anyone wants t see em.

@joy-caroline

Ooo… Good question!

One thought I had while reading your post is where did your character get his wisdom from?

1. Is he speaking from experience? If so, how have his experiences shaped his personality? Have they scarred him physically or emotionally?
2. Is he passing on advice he’s heard elsewhere? If so, has he himself found the…

Hey Sam!

Yeah, KP Critiques has been put on hold. Mainly because, to put it blatantly, my sister was the one doing critiques but she moved on to other things, so we currently don’t have anyone able to critique work at the moment.

Though I do know that some people here on the forum who like to critique each others’ stories so…[Read more]

@samuel-p-robbins I was so confused seeing my message on here lol.

@kathleenramm Honestly I really like how well everything’s tying together for it (plot, themes, character, worldbuilding, backstory, etc etc). Probably my most structured novel yet? I’m enjoying the single POV and small cast of characters, a nice change of pace from my usual big casts, as well as structuring internal and external conflict to all…[Read more]

@jodi-maile I know I wrote an article about online publishing for @gracie-j sometime last year, hopefully you can find it here in the first issue: https://skysthelimitpress.wixsite.com/home/the-journal

@jodi-maile

Welp, I’m late. *facepalm*

Honestly, I don’t have any experience in this area, so I don’t think I can help, I’m sorry. 🙁 I hope you find the info you’re looking for, though! Wishing you the best with this project. 🙂 <333

@koshka

WAIT. You’re a Sight and Sound fan, too?!?!

I love how you used their songs to describe characters… XD
