@milena The Lord of the Rings is such a good trilogy! I haven’t watched the others yet, but I’ll make a note of them!

The Great Gatsby was very good! I haven’t read the others, but I’ve been meaning to read The Girl on the Train. Coming of age books are very good, I agree.

Absolute mood. I also adore music. And I have listened to The…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Yeah, we’re going from Alberta to Nova Scotia! leaving in two days.

yeah, guys are tough to understand for sure! To be honest, if I write about them its usually from the perspective of their sisters/female relatives because 1st person is too hard XD

I actually find guys easier to understand for the most part, but that’s likely…[Read more]

@madelyn

Thanks! Yes, I agree about it needing to be changed. People get whitewashed so easily, but that’s a subject I should probably avoid on here so I don’t divert from the subject XDD

Yesss! A fellow Knights of Arrethtrea fan! I just started Chuck Black’s Starlore Legacy series. I suppose I shall see if they’re any good. I got, like, halfway…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

glad to be of assistance!

@abigail-m

all good! Life will be life. I understand, we’re packing up our house to move across Canada in four days lol.

Yesss omniscient is my favorite. I’ve been trying the first person and find it fun, but it’s also frustrating at times, especially since I don’t want to do male MC in 1st person POV because I don’t know how they think so I…[Read more]

@anika123

You’re welcome!  And congrats!

@joy-caroline

I’m a bit late to this topic and everyone else had great advice, but I just decided to pitch in my thoughts  just in case it can help at all. 🙂

My best advice for handling darker, grittier things, is not the most helpful advice because a lot of people can’t do it, but to have some kinda first hand experience with it, or be really…[Read more]

Hi! Awesome to have you!

I’ve recently been getting into poetry, but haven’t tried writing any myself. What has been the inspiration for your latest poem?

I love writing short stories! Like Jodi, I’ve been trying to write at least one a month, however the past few days I feel like the creative writing part of my brain has taken a…[Read more]

@anika123

Hey there!  So, my Chromebook isn’t fully cooperating with me, so I’ll just post my critique here so you can copy and paste it into a folder of your choosing!  (Hope this works okay instead?)

So first off!  I love your imagination.  You have an interesting premise for your story.  I like how you use clear description, and Bumb…[Read more]

@nanisnook

So glad that was encouraging! Go get ’em, girl! 😉

@ariel-f

Exactly! It always makes things more interesting. 🙂

Awesome! Let me know what you think of it. I hope you like it as much as I do! 😀 Nice! Anne is the best. 😉

Those are great genres! I’ve dabbled in a couple of those, writing wise, and read from all of them, I think! (If non-fiction contemporary novels count. 😉)

I’ll look into that…[Read more]

@milena

Hi!!!!

Cool to meet you!

Poetry is epic! you totally should submit some!!! *sighs dreamily * I love poetry!!! Most of mine don’t work out, (two in the last ten years of my life XD) so I really admire those who can make poetry. that is really cool!

alright, now for the serious question… *drumroll * Are you a Tolkien fan? (don’t worry,…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

ooooo yes, why does that always happen? lol

#1 well, music of course, it’s inspiring for me, at least.

#2 writing little backstories about the book world and the characters and that can help me figure out what is bland.

#3 reread from the beginning of my work and then get a fresh view of my current scene.

#4 Read/listen to a…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Murder someone.

Well, or badly injure someone. Is what I do. I’m assuming, however, that your story isn’t of the suitable genre. But yeah, what Jenna said. Keep writing by looking forward to whatever’s coming. Or maybe spice things up by doing something unexpected. Or develop who you thought was gonna be a minor character. Whatever…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I dislike the rebellious kid/YA hero…

like Elsa from Frozen; she is a terrible heroine in my opinion; she runs off and expects it all to be fine. She thinks no rules apply to her and acts in a way that hurts everyone and then expects no one to get hurt by her actions even when inuring them more. I am glad that she does get into…[Read more]

@iluvhim18

Revenge… It was hate in a better sounding word.

@anika123

Alright, thanks!  I’ll use the link on the previous page, if that’s alright?

@anika123

Hi there, I’m Lily and I also write middle-grad fantasy!  Do you still want feedback on your story?  I’d love to read through it.  🙂

Ps.  I’d be happy to use the link to your document, instead of email.  🙂

@milena Hi there! Welcome to Kingdom Pen! I hope you have an awesome time here! I’m Linyang, one of the members here!

Ah, I used to write a ton of poetry! I’m looking forward to seeing whatever you share!

Short stories are fun! And I totally relate to finding inspiration everywhere. What are some of your favorite movies/books/songs?
