Hey KP Members! I just joined, and want to introduce myself. My name is Lily. I am from Canada, a homeschooler (yes, I love it!), and a wannabe writer. I am practicing my writing on my blog at CanadaLily.com. Also joining the Young Writer’s Workshop soon. Any of you over there? I am super excited for that!
So far, I have only written short stories.
My dream is to write stories akin to the writings of Patricia MacLachlan (author of “Sarah, Plain and Tall”), and Natalie Kinsey-Warnock (“The Canada Geese Quilt”). To me, these stories are simple, yet complex. As my sister said when I told her that I aspire to write stories like these, here response was, “Oh, you want to write stories that pull on people’s heartstrings.” Yes! That is EXACTLY it!
January 18, 2024 at 6:52 pm #173537Hi, nice to meet you! I’m Hybridlore, a violinist, science fiction writer, and also a homeschooler, but I don’t live in Canada, lol.
That’s awesome! I think @kyronthearcanin either is or used to be on YWW, and hmm… I know there’s some other people on there but I can’t remember who right now.
Some newbie questions…
What’s your current WIP about?
What is the best book/s you have ever read?

I’m not on YWW, but a few other people are on here!
Ill check out your blog, I also blog to and you can find it at acanello.blogspot.com if your interested 🙂
I’m so glad you could come to Kingdom Pen! Alright, now I’ll ask you some hopefully not already asked questions 😉
You can take three books to a deserted island, which three?

January 18, 2024 at 6:59 pm #173540Hey there, Lily! Greetings from Burne!
I’m -GRCR-! I’m a fiction fantasy-ish writer, an avid artist, a journalist for my fictional newspaper, and a character lover/creator that has over three hundred (oh, and I love them so much that I wish they were real people, lol). I enjoy listening to music and imagining my characters singing the songs.
Welcome to KP! 😁
Oooo… you’re a homeschooler! That’s great!! I am too, lol! #HomeschooledAndHappy
As my sister said when I told her that I aspire to write stories like these, here response was, “Oh, you want to write stories that pull on people’s heartstrings.” Yes! That is EXACTLY it!
Ah, I love that!
Ok, lastly, here are some questions for you!!
If you have any characters, how many do you have?
If you were going to write an entirely original and new book, what would you create first: the world or the characters?
And, what song will forever remind you of last year?
Well… that’s it from me. Hope you enjoy KP, and I’ll see you around! 🙃

January 18, 2024 at 7:05 pm #173546Hey! Welcome to KP!
Yep, I’m on YWW (thanks the for the tag, @hybridlore !), have been since May! It’s a really nice community. If you have any questions, let me know!
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
January 18, 2024 at 7:08 pm #173547NOOOO NOT ANOTHER HOMESCHOOLER!!!! lol I’m like the only one on here that goes to public school…though I used to be homeschooled and homeschooling is just so much better in my opinion…so lucky duck!
Heyy! I’m Sara, though most people around here call me…well, they call me Sara. XD
Anyways, I’m a chocolate consuming, emotionally unstable, sleep deprived, algebra loving, public school attending freshman (in highschool)!
Here are some random questions:
Do you ever talk to yourself?
Have you ever subconsciously narrated parts of your day in third person? Example: She walks down the hall and to her locker.
Do you like coffee?
Are you a dog or a cat person?
Horses or chickens?
Would you rather get two teeth pulled or read out of a SUPER boring textbook about Power and Energy with subjects you will never understand?

LEFSE FOREVER!!!!!! <333January 18, 2024 at 9:40 pm #173592Welcome to KP! I’m Jonas, more enigmatically known as Cloaked Mystery. I write mostly in the fantasy genre, but usually with hard rules that verge on sci-fi. I like creating magic systems, usually hard ones, but I have a few soft-ish ones. My current project, which I am working on with my sister, @highscribeofaetherium, is a large fantasy universe that contains many different planets.
Some of my favorite authors are Tolkien and Brandon Sanderson. Sanderson’s Cosmere in particular is a huge inspiration behind my projects, particularly the magic systems.
Outside of writing, I play and compose music (I play piano.) I’m nearly a black belt in karate. I play video games, and am also an amateur video game designer. I also enjoy participating in the many character RPs on here.
And now for the traditional newbie questions. (A tradition I don’t tend to be good at, but I’ll try my best.)
Anyway here we go:
What are some of your biggest inspirations behind your writing? (Whether they be books, movies, music, real life, or something else.)
If you had to write in a genre that you don’t normally write in, what would you pick?
Do your characters tend to have similar personalities to you, or different? How does your personality affect what sorts of characters you create? (Bonus: would you get along with most of your characters?)

Any noun can become a verb if you don't care enough.

Hey Allison! I am also in 10th grade.I tried to check out your blog, but the URL you gave me wouldn’t work for some reason.
Three books. Here you go:
My Bible.
A giant home/farmsteading book.
Book of maps so that I could get back to civilization and buy more books. XDDo I like any sports? Well, I love to skate, and my family used to go downhill skiing almost every week in the winter. I loved that!
I also absolutely love baking. Which is obviously not a sport:) I bake gluten and dairy free, the only way I know how to bake. And I am getting pretty good, if I do say so myself. *Wink*
How often do I like to write? I have not been the most consistent writer in the past, but starting my blog is kind of forcing me to write at least one post a week, and I would like to add more writing in besides that as well. So yeah. There you are.
Anyone on here like writing contests? That is what I have mainly been focusing on since I started writing more seriously, because those give you a deadline that you can’t keep shoving ahead.
I hope I tagged this right. Pretty sure I accidentally deleted the reply I tried to send to @hybridlore. Oops! You can tell that I am new to all this!
January 19, 2024 at 2:59 pm #173670I have no ideas how many characters I have created. Most of my works are short stories, so I pretty much create new characters each time.
If I was going to create a brand-new book, I think I’d start with the main character and go from there.
If I had to pick a song that will forever remind me of last year, it would probably be “Old Man’s Boots,” by the Zac Brown Band, I think is the song. It reminds me of my great grampy, who passed away late 2023.
Is that answer a little deeper than expected?
January 19, 2024 at 3:00 pm #173672Super excited to join YWW!

Yeah, that was much deeper than I expected…
