Hey everybody!
I’m technically new here, but I’ve been kinda hanging around in the KP shadows for a while; since no one could get in. Nice to actually be on here!
I am a graduated homeschooler who works full time. I write way less than I’d like, but when I do it is often flash fiction because of time constraints. I also have some poetry, some in-progress short stories, and a bunch of half baked ideas floating around inside my head;]
October 13, 2026 at 7:19 pm #214191Soooo. . . based off your name, have you “sparred” with a staff and therefore now its amazing amazingness? (Perhaps have had the bruises to prove it?)
October 13, 2026 at 7:24 pm #214192Hey! It’s wonderful to have you.
Honestly, time constraints are relateable.
I’m Elishavet, although if you’ve hung around here a while you know that already. I’m also a graduated homeschooler (attending college now), and I mostly write assorted flash fiction, poetry, and short stories. I have a bunch of longer projects jumbled into various notebooks and files on my computer. Still learning how to finish them.
I am assuming by your name that you use/like the quarter staff? I’ve used one a few times and can avidly approve the name. XD (They are great for wacking siblings. Especially a taller sibling who usually wins when we spar.)
Some AskTheNewbie Questions!
What would you serve if your favorite character came over for lunch?
Which is supperior? Icecream or cheesecake?

October 13, 2026 at 7:26 pm #214193Yes! A good straight stick is sadly underrated.
October 13, 2026 at 7:32 pm #214194Nice!
I would probably serve stew, or perhaps shepherd’s pie.
Ice cream is superior for after work stress relief;) But cheesecake is (if made by my pastor’s wife) superior in general amazingness. so….no I can’t really decide….
What would you serve and who would it be to?
October 13, 2026 at 7:39 pm #214196A good choice!
Ah, valid. They aren’t the same thing.
Ok, ok. I did not think this through. XD Hmm… I think I would serve tea, scones, and wild rice and chicken soup. Not sure exactly who it would be but most of the canidates would be happy with that. Except for Urchin from The Mistmantle Chronicles. He’s not a carnivorous squirrel, if there is such a thing. And neither would Smalls from Green Ember…. Maybe if the character is an animal I would just stick to scones and tea. Who would yours be?

October 13, 2026 at 7:46 pm #214200Hm. Aragorn comes to mind the fastest. He would probably be ok with stew.
I haven’t read Mistmantle yet; but it is sitting on my shelf.
Random question back at you!
Do you like the bagpipes?
October 13, 2026 at 7:54 pm #214203As he should.
Really? I rarely find people who have read or heard of it. Please tell me what you think if you do end up reading it! =)
YES. They make me want to dance, and I do not really know how to dance except to the Lord who does not care about footwork etc., so it is quite the chaoticaly gleeful experience. Do you?
Do you play any instrument(s)?

October 13, 2026 at 8:01 pm #214204I actually think I heard of it someplace on here. I’ll have to finish it now.
Yes! And the pipe snare drums that accompany them!!
I do. And wish to play so many more! Primarily fiddle and mandolin. Technically harmonica (but we don’t talk about that), learning bodhran and tin whistle(which we also don’t talk about). Have some others but the list sounds too long;)
October 13, 2026 at 8:11 pm #214205Do you do any music stuff?
October 13, 2026 at 9:06 pm #214208Hi! Welcome to kp! I love your username. I’m also graduated and am working full time. Been on kp for almost four years.
but I’ve been kinda hanging around in the KP shadows for a while;
*gasp* A spy! What secrets have you witnessed??
Are you going to share some poetry or short stories on here? I love reading poetry though I’m terrible at writing it.
Any paint can be finger paint if you don't care enough
October 13, 2026 at 10:18 pm #214214Nice to meet you!
ha! *smiles slyly* Don’t worry; I’m a trustworthy spy.
Yes, I will hopefully share some. What kind of poetry do you like?

We can keep this one ( @quarterstaffgirl ), and you can return the others.
October 14, 2026 at 6:59 am #214221Hi, welcome to kingdom pen!
I’m Renegade, an aspiring artist and author. I too was a lurker in the dark days before.
It’s awesome that you use a quarter staff, I’ve never known anyone who did that before!
Anyway, if you could travel to any time period, when would you travel to?
Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line
October 14, 2026 at 9:04 am #214225Yes! And the pipe snare drums that accompany them!!
Yes! Ahhhhhhhhh….
I do. And wish to play so many more!
The ever present conundrum.
Primarily fiddle and mandolin. Technically harmonica (but we don’t talk about that), learning bodhran and tin whistle(which we also don’t talk about).
Those are some unique choices. My sister and I want to learn the mandolin! The bodhran looks like so much fun. *carefully avoids mentioning the harmonica or tin whistle*
Have some others but the list sounds too long;)
Now I’m curious. XD
I do some. Mostly piano (classical and a mix of church/stamps/gospel). I want to take voice lessons some day and learn some form of mandolin/oud and/or lyre/harp. As a kid I really wanted to learn the harp and had a little lap harp that I played till it was not so slowly dying. (I didn’t know how to tune it correctly so after a while the strings just gave up trying.) That’s pretty much the extent of my musicalness.
