Im a writer. Obviously.
But I wasn’t always. I never thought I could make it as a writer until five months ago, when a friend encouraged me to not give up, to keep writing.
I didn’t believe her; after all, I was 16. What 16 year old can get published?
Turns out, lots!
I sat down to finish the book I began at age 14. Drafting and redrafting, I finally finished on April 1, 2023 and self published it on April 5. 11 days later, I turned 17.
It is called With Eyes of Blue. You can find it on lulu.com, Barnesandnoble.com, and amazon.com.
As of two days ago, I self published Mary, Queen of Scots: A Shakespearean-Style Play and Fairy Tales Made Modern Volume 1. Currently they are only available on lulu.com, but they are being globally distributed.
so, that’s me in a nutshell!
Nice to meet you! Welcome to KP!
I’m Solfyre! I started writing when I was… nine? I’m now fourteen, and while I’m still working on developing some characters from back then, it may have made editing a little more difficult XD.
Your books looks awesome! (Especially With Eyes of Blue. I may or may not have looked it up and definitely want to get it… lol. I love her name and the idea of the story so much!)
Some questions for you!
1. Favorite themes to write about? (Sacrifice, trust, etc.)
2. Favorite authors?
3. Favorite animals?

Anyway, that’s it for now! See ya around on KP!
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
Thank you so much! If you get it, please let me know!
1. I dont have any themes in particular. I develop my stories, and the theme builds itself. For WEOB, the theme is Trust in Yahweh.
2. Shannon Hale, Charlotte Bronte
3. Lions and monkeys
how about you?
I’m definitely planning on getting it soon. Lol I ran out of books at home and am always looking for a good read.
Cool!
Here are mine:
1. My stories usually do the same, though they tend to lean towards either sacrifice, freedom, or trust in God.
2. There are so many lol, but my favorite would have to be Bryan Davis. I also like Christine Cohen and Christopher Hopper, though I’ve only read a few of his books.
3. My favorite animal by far is the wolf.
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.

Heyo!!! I’m AwsumFaith, Im a Christian teen girl who loves writing, daydreaming, singing, drawing, and obsessing over my favorite movies XD. I’ve been writing for maybe five or six years, so since I was twelve I guess. I’ve had a couple things started, but I quit them all when I barely got started. The past two years I’ve gotten serious about it.
Now my favorite part, questionsss
- Do you like How to Train Your Dragon?
- What’s your favorite fantasy creature?
- Favorite book?
- Favorite movie?
- Writing on a computer/phone or with a notebook and pencil?
Hope to see you around!
"does anyone have any good ideas?"
"Oh yeah, but none for this"Lol, just saw someone else asked you for fav book and movie, you don’t have to answer it again XD
"does anyone have any good ideas?"
"Oh yeah, but none for this"I definitely will!
Also, a character that can talk to wolves is SO COOL. XD I love that! In one of my WIPs there’s a character that can turn into a wolf and talk that way, kind of a shapeshifter-type-thing. Could be wrong, but I think @godlyfantasy12 has a character like that, too…. I’m forgetting his name. 😅
Also, Chronicles of a Homeschooler sounds awesome!
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
Awsumfaith— HTTYD: sometimes I like it, haven’t seen the movies since I can’t remember when. Favorite fantasy creature: mermaids! There is a mermaid in one of my published books (the fairy tale collection:). What I write with: I prefer pen and paper, then transferring to an iPad 🙂
Solfyre— cool!!!
also, are there any YDubbers on here? (If you don’t know what that is, you’re not one;)
@crocheter12
HIIII fellow bumbling henchman!! That’s so cool!! And congrats on your books:) Lol I feel like everyone else has covered most of the questions but do you have any weird hobbies/habits?? Haha complete weirdo over hereswoony romance lover

Hey, welcome to Kingdom Pen!!
I think someone on here told me about With Eyes of Blue. I think it was @felicity. It sounds really awesome!!
Anyway, to introduce myself… I’m Esther: a volleyball-playing, violin-squeaking, dog-obsessed, homeschooled, God-loving, fiction-writing, teen girl!!
Now for some questions!!
1. If you could visit any country in the world, where would it be and why?
2. What’s your favorite planet in the solar system? Why?
3. Are you a pantser, plotter, or in between (plantser)?
Nice to meet you and see ya around!!
(Oh, and to answer you question about the ranks. Those are according to how many posts you make. I’m not sure the exact numbering, but the more posts, the higher in rank you get)
