Hi! I’m NorthernNovelist and I am so excited to be here!!!
I love northern Michigan, christian music, horses, cats, Jesus, crafting, and writing. I have been writing on and off for years, ever since I can remember. I only really got serious about my writing when I was twelve. I have been writing ever since.
I enjoy writing based mostly on medieval style times, but I am exploring other time periods. I enjoy writing mostly fantasy, but I am also exploring spies and dystopian.
So, yeah! So excited to explore and learn!
Welcome to Kingdom Pen!! I’m Esther: a volleyball-playing, violin-squeaking, dog-obsessed, homeschooled, fiction-writing, God-loving, teen girl!!
The medieval era is such a fun time to write in!!
Oooh, I write dystopian! (At least my WIP [work is progress] is dystopian]). And writing in the spy genre sounds awesome!! 😄
Now it’s time for some newbie questions!!
1. What’s your WIP about?
2. Who’s your favorite music artist/group?
3. If you could have any mythical or fantastical (I think that’s the right word XD) creature as a pet, which would it be?
4. Tea or coffee? Which is your preference and why?
Nice to meet you and see ya around!!
(Now it’s time to tag some Keepers to say hello!)

Also the spy genre. Aaaa!!! I’m loving it!
Questions time!!!!
(I’ve never done this before so don’t judge me and my lame questions)

"After all these years, who knew we'd make such a good t-e-a-m?"
Hi NorthernNovelist! Welcome to KP!
I’m the ArcaneAxiom. I love math, searching for divine fundamental truth, and exploring that in my writing. I read/write sci-fi/fantasy, and my current project is a multiverse I’m working on with my sister (PrincessaChronicles) called the Septrum.
Questions:
Do you enjoy worldbuilding?
Do you lean towards more hard or soft worldbuilding? (Hard meaning more defined rules for the reader to follow, vs soft meaning more open possibility where anything goes.)
What is your current writing project about?
And last but not least:
If we need to think outside the box, then what about when I want to get in a puzzle box?
He is perfect in Justice, yet He is perfect in Mercy, even when we fail Him. For this, He is good.
You probably get this a lot, but if you don’t mind me asking. What are your thoughts concerning the name of the Church? Because it is very stressed that we don’t use the term “Mormon” to describe ourselves, though it is shorter. I won’t tell you not to use it, as your entitled to your agency, but as someone who also represents the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I’m curious on how you personally feel about it.
He is perfect in Justice, yet He is perfect in Mercy, even when we fail Him. For this, He is good.
I actually don’t get asked this a lot.
I try and use the correct name of the Church as often as i can, i just find it simpler to say Mormon in certain public spaces where people might not recognize the name The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
I know it is very stressed and i actually feel like Latter-Day Saints is also a good name for us members. When people ask what my religion is, I tell them that i am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, but they most times are confused at that, so then i have to say Mormon.
It’s a thing.
Also, i was looking at this ACT booklet that my brother had gotten and one of the things was like “what religion do you belong to” and it was such a long list and i saw they they actually had it as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and i was so happy 😁😁
So yeah, I also stress the use of the correct name, but it’s hard because people don’t really know us members by that name, so i almost always have to say Mormon afterwards. I don’t really consider us under the name of Mormons, i just say it so it’s easier.
Fun fact: did you know Ryan Gosling is a member?
That just makes me happy, i dunno.
Sincerely, your fellow Latter-Day Saint,

"After all these years, who knew we'd make such a good t-e-a-m?"
Yeah, I get it. I’m sometimes the same. If they don’t know about the Church when hearing the full name, then that’s an awesome teaching opportunity. If you want to specify with the name Mormon, I find it helpful to simply explain “You might also know us as Mormons, but we don’t really like being referred to in that way, because we want people to know who we are and who we worship. Jesus Christ is the very core of our Church, thus we call it by His name. We don’t worship Mormon, as many think we do because of the name, though we respect him as a prophet of God.” It’s a great chance to teach that we are followers of Christ, which can lead to great conversation.
Sometimes people will simply ask “are you Mormon” which you can lead to a similar conversation, and if your like me, a perfect chance to make a wisecrack like “No, Mormon died thousands of years ago, but I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints”🤣
I’m also fine with using Latter Day Saints or LDS, but I prefer using the full name as much as possible around non-members, because the whole point is to stress that this is Christ’s Church. I will sometimes use The Church of Jesus Christ as a shortened version when needed, as that is what Nelson said can work.
I did not know that, but that’s really cool! It’s really awesome when you find out one of your celebrities is actually a member. It’s happened to me so many times now. Like Grant Thomson from TKOR(RIP😔), Shad M. Brooks, Brandon Sanderson, Orson Scott Card, ect
Thanks for the Response!

"Would you kindly...?"
@northernnovelist Hello there! I’m Keilah.
I love cats too! Have you ever read the warrior cats books?
Spy genre….Well, I’ve watched a few movies/read a few books on that, I think….? It’s an interesting one for sure. I have worldbuilt on a dystopian story before, although it turned into just a plain sci-fi one before long…..
A weird question: What are your opinions on reptiles? I love them, but some people don’t, so…I like finding out how many people share my love of all things lizard-y.
@magicalstories0611 Ha, while at a friend’s house I was being badgered by a bunch of other girls on what kind of boys I liked, and I don’t really like any real-life boys soooooo….I almost showed them pictures of my favorite fictional characters just to dodge the question, but then got called outside by my dad so I was saved from embarrassment lol.Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
Hi! And welcome to KP!
I’m euodia.vision., or just Euodia. 😊 I’m a Christian, homeschooled senior, fantasy writer and reader, lover of all things Middle-earth, Marvel fangirl, newbie baby goat owner, and a gal who is always craving something mint or grape flavored!
Oooh, I saw Esther already asked about music, so I’ll just wait for you to reply ’bout that.
1. Lord of the Rings. Yay or nay?
2. If you could invite three characters (original, movie, or book) over for dinner who would you invite?
Welcome again, and can’t wait to see you around!
I rolled the log over and underneath was a tiny little stick and I was like, "That log had a child
Hi and welcome to KP!!! I’m hybridlore, a Christian homeschooler who loves writing and reading!!
I also have been writing pretty much my whole life on and off! But only seriously in the past few months. I don’t really have a WIP right now though, unfortunately 🤔 I’m trying to figure out an idea xD
My grandparents live in Michigan, and it’s so beautiful in the winter!! I actually lived in Minnesota for two years, too 😉
I love dystopian and fantasy! I usually write science fiction-y stuff or dystopian, but I would love to try historical fiction someday!!
A few questions (don’t worry about answering if you have already)
1. What grade are you in?
2. Favorite books?
3. Any other hobbies??
4. What’s your WIP about? (work in progress)
Again, welcome to KP!!!!! ♥️♥️ And I’ll see you around!!!!
"Be careful, for writing books is endless, and much study wears you out." Eccl. 12:12
Hi everyone! Thanks for such a warm welcome.
Okay, let’s see if I can answer all these questions….
Just cause I forgot this, I am also homeschooled. I am 16 and finishing 10th grade.
I have many works in progress (I get exciting book ideas on a regular basis XD). The one I am trying to focus on is one about a teenage girl whose spy parents disappeared when she was younger, leaving behind clues to a large conspiracy. I am a definite pantser. XD
I have a few fav artists… Beckah Shae, Newsboys, Natalie Grant, Hannah Kerr, Ann Wilson, Barlow Girl… and others XD.
If I could have any mythical creature as a pet it would probably be a Pegasus or a griffen or a good dragon or something (like Toothless from the How To Train Your Dragon ;))
Neither tea nor coffee, I only drink water. I prefer it and it is the best for my body because of some medical conditions. I drink juice or lemonade on special occasions or on the random whim.
My favorite movie (currently) is Black Widow, so yes I am a budding Marvel fan. Some other favorites are Prince Caspian and the last three Star Wars movies. It depends on my mood. XD
My fav Marvel character is Black Widow and that is also my fav Marvel movie. I have seen that, Captain America, and (though this isn’t Marvel) WonderWoman so far. I love the quote XD @smiley
As far as I can remember I have never written any fanfics, though I may have when I was little. My sister and I used to act out fanfic stories with out Barbies XD.
nay to Taylor Swift
nay to K-pop
I have quite a few WIPs that I have rewritten a few times, one based in a magical sea, another based in a tyrant ruled world with a secret heir, another about a superhero family, and then my spies.
My fav character I have written is a hard choice, maybe the secret heir Star Miran a.k.a. The Phantom Star a.k.a. Princess Estelle or Oceana Anker the best guide in the mystic Isles.
I love musicals!!!!! I would absolutely love to be in one! I really love the Sight and Sound Theatre ones. They are all based on Bible stories!
I have never heard of those books @magicalstories
My fav book series is probably the Chronicles of Narnia, accompanied by Jane Austin, Anne of Green Gables, Wingfeather Saga, and The Green Ember.
I don’t really do any sports. I enjoy hiking and kayaking with my family. And I enjoy horseback riding whenever I get the chance. I enjoy sewing, knitting (a little), crochet, embroidery, going on adventures with my family, and devouring books.
I write as often as I can, leaving room for my other hobbies of course.
I am not a major reptile fan, but I love bearded dragons!
yay to Lord of the Rings, but the Chronicles of Narnia is brighter and I like it more.
I think I would invite Anne Shirley, Reepicheep, and Lord Captain Helmer.
Thanks again!
-Izzy
