Hi there! My name is Kayla Blick, and I am so happy to have wandered across Kingdom Pen! To be surrounded by young adults of the faith AND who have a love of writing? This is really a dream come true!
Besides writing, I have many different hobbies, including reading, crochet, snails, homesteading, WWII novels, Norwegian, and aviation. I love writing, but I struggle with commitment… which is totally not my usual style with friendships, relationships, or family relations. My general mindset is to complete a job in one sitting before moving on, which may be why I have not finished a project yet.
I hope to get to know many of y’all soon, and grow as writers for Christ together!

Hi! Welcome to the forum! It’s awesome to have you here.
Here’s just a few questions I have so we can get to know each other a bit more: (Also, I can totally relate to your commitment issue that you mentioned, haha)
Do you have a favorite book and author?
What’s the premise of your current WIP?
Also, mint chocolate chip ice-cream: delicious dessert or overhyped toothpaste?
Thank you!
Haha, glad I’m not the only one.
Richard Paul Evan’s Michael Vey series has always been a top favorite of mine. Lately I have really been into Tricia Goyer and her WWII novels. I’m kind of a nerd when it comes to WWII. In my English classes I took through Regent University, both major essays were WWII based if that gives you any hint… Military novels, fiction or non, will always be a hit with me.
My work in progress right now is actually our homestead newsletter, but for me personally, a children’s series on none other than my own Bartholomew the snail. I got him last fall and through the winter I was hit with inspiration to make his life a story. I’ve always wanted to write a children’s series and incorporate biblical aspects into it, and now I have a perfect avenue.
I actually cannot remember having mint ice-cream ever, so while I don’t have a solid answer, I’ve never enjoyed the thought of mint ice-cream.
Sorry if anything is misspelled or oddly formatted, I’m doing this post on my phone and it is not fun at all!

@kayla-b. WELCOME TO Kingdom Pen, Kayla! <3 (and hey, another Southerner!)
*Gasps* another fan of WWII!? AHHH! Girl, you have no idea how much I love WWII! But anyways. Hello there! I am FreedomWriter76, a homeschooled, Christian Teen that has a passion for spreading the light of Christ through Historical Fiction! 😀 I’m also a huge History Buff and Marvel Nerd!
And speaking of aviation…one of my MC’s of one of my WIP’s is a US Air Force Pilot! One of my great uncles was also in the Air Force for over…twenty years I believe! I have his name tag that was on one of his uniforms that I am absolutely going to keep forever!
Oh, and before I ask any questions, since you love WWII and Aviation, may I suggest the biography Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand? It’s about Louis Zamperini, a US Italian-American WWII pilot, hero, Olympian, and Pacific POW? His story is AMAZING and there are also two movies based on his story! 😀 Highly recommend the book! It is WONDERFUL!
But now unto questions. 😉 (I’m a bit of a rambler. sorry. XD)
1. What’s your favorite thing to learn about WWII…other than Aviation?
2. What’s your favorite Dessert?
3. Do you like listening to Music? If so, what’s your favorite song/band?
4. Does Pineapple belong on Pizza? (This one is very controversial, so tread carefully! JK, lol. XD)
Anyways, once again, welcome to Kingdom Pen. I can’t wait to talk to you some more. Bye for Now! <3
Oh boy, I am so sorry, I thought I responded! I have been inactive for a while because of camps and getting ready for college! But I am back now.
About your WIP, that is so cool! I am also currently reading Unbroken!
1. The politics from both sides of the war, and all the underground stories and heroes.
2. Anything chocolate!
3. I listen to most everything, but I jam mostly to Christian, prime country (sometimes modern), and 80s rock (Enter Sandman, elite)
4. Absolutely yes.
What about you?

@kayla-b. That’s fine! I understand how busy life can get. XD
Aww, thank you! 😀 REALLY!? EPIC!!! You’ll love it! Do you enjoy it so far? 😉
Nice! Yes, chocolate is delicious. XD
My favorite thing to learn about WWII is the Holocaust and learning of the courageous individuals who helped rescue Jews and those who survived through the Holocaust. I especially love learning about German soldiers who (though they were risking their lives!) helped save Jews, mainly because one of my MC’s from my main WIP is an SS officer who helps Jews. 😉
Brownies!
I love Christian songs, Christian Rock and metal, some country, and I’ve recently been enjoying music by Sam Tinnesz. 🙂
Though I haven’t had it, my mom says pineapple on Pizza is delicious. However, I hate pineapples. XD So…very biased. But if you like it, no judgement from me! 😀
