Howdy! My name is Janelle. My full name means “God is gracious to bring the victory to this mighty warrior.” Whew, where to begin to tell you how that’s been true of me? Born as the youngest of 11 in a homeschool family, I was born again through faith in Jesus Christ at age 7. Ever since my Savior has been showing me day how to give Him Lordship. (And I’m sure you’ll hear more about my life in the future.)
Creative writing has long been an enjoyable past time for me, getting better with time at the craft. January 2021, I was quarantined in a strange room with my computer. That was when my first YouTube video was created. And then I created a website with a blog. Starting a job and switching to full-time just under a year later, my writing time has become less and less, but I still love it. And want to continue.
Why is “beloved pig” on the end of my username? Well, my blog and YouTube channel both use that name: HappyBelovedPig. It’s based off of a book by Phil Vischer called “Sydney&Normal: The Tale of Two Pigs.” In it two pigs in business suits learn how God sees them. One has preconceived that he’s perfect and everyone else is bad. The other has preconceived that he’s a failure in everything. But God transforms both those notions by proving to them His love. Myself prone to be somewhere in the middle of those preconceptions, was greatly touched by the moment when the “failure” pig realized God loved him, failures and all. It made the pig so happy! Thus, Happy Beloved Pig.
I want my works to similarly touch people’s lives, that they may see the love the Father bestows on His children.
I’m stoked for Kingdom Pen! I’m brand new here, so please feel free to reach out. I’d love to be your friend!
In Christ,
Janelle
Nice to meet you, Janelle!
I’m gonna go ahead and tag some people before I start: @gwyndalf-the-wise @thearcaneaxiom @esther-c @keilah-h @freedomwriter76 @mineralizedwriting @godlyfantasy12 @folith-feolin @lightoverdarkness6 @princesachronicle22
Hopefully I spelled those right lol 😅
My name is Ava. I’m also homeschooled, and I love to read, write, and play guitar. Right now I’m working on a book called Healer (the first chapter is in novel critiques if you’re interested). I’d love to hear about anything you may be working on!
Alright, now for some newbie questions.
1. Favorite book/books?
2. Do you have a WIP? If so, what’s it about?
3. If you could pick one character from anything you’ve written, which one would you want to meet in real life?
Nice to have you at KP, Janelle!😄
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
Knew I was gonna miss one! lol

Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
Hi, Ava! Whoohoo, homeschoolers! That’s cool you play guitar; I play something called a dobrolin– a dobro that plays like a mandolin. Do you ever write songs? Who’s a character you would want to meet?
As to your questions,
1. Bible, definitely, 😀 next would be Hind’s Feet on High Places and classic The Horse & His Boy and Brock Eastman’s series The Quest for Truth.
2. My fiction story WIP is an autobiographical allegory about Little One and her journey from her home village of Little Faith to the Guide’s mountain castle of Great Faith.
3. Hmm… Good question. Huh. Either the Guide from the allegory or Captain Supreme from my distopian story about the Resurgents (who is a very similar character to the Guide) or Fred from my Work-Days stories.
Hi!!! Nice to meet you!! Wow 11? And I thought I had a big family!! And I love that meaning in your name, very beautiful C:
I am also homeschooled, *Whoop!* and love reading, drawing and writing! I write mostly sci-fi and fantasy but have some plans for some contemporary books too, all including romance of course 😉 I’m a total sap XD
Anyway, I have some questions!
Which is your favorite(s) genre to write?
Favorite(s) of a genre to read?
Of your characters, which has been the most fun to write?
Has there been a most meaningful character to write?
Well that’s all from me today! Hope to see you around KP!!
Love is patient. Love is kind. Love never fails. -1 Corinthians
And guess what? His is eternal (:@janellebelovedpig @princesachronicle22
Homeschoolers unite! 😁
To answer the first question, I have written a few songs- a couple about my characters, which are still somewhat in progress, and a few for my characters to sing in the book.
The character I would want to meet would most likely be Rina, the main character of Healer, my WIP. But I also would like to meet Dune. He’s nervous most of the time with a quirky kind of humor, and I’m so deep into both their backstories that I know I would ask them both a million questions lol.
Yes, the Bible is definitely the best book! And The Horse and His Boy is SO good. Your WIPs sound awesome! 🙂
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
Welcome! I’m Acancello! I’m also home schooled and I love acting! I also love guinea pigs, dogs, traveling, trying weird food, writing, reading,running, talking and a lot more 😀 ! I’m so glad you could come to KP! That is so amazing you have so many family members! Someday I hope to have a family that big someday! Now I’ll ask you some hopefully not already asked questions 🙂
#1- Do you like to play any sports or craft? (Kinda a random question, but some people dont play sports, like me, I just like to run 🙂 )
#2- Whats your favorite season, spring, summer, winter or fall
#3- How often do you like to write
#4- Favorite song?
Super nice to meet you and I hope you LOVE Kingdom Pen!!!
"Would you kindly...?"
Hey Janelle! Welcome to Kingdom Pen!
I’m Theloonyone. Like most here, I am a Christian writer, but I also enjoy music, art, and reading. I play the piano (and the clarinet a little) and have been slowly growing my drawing skills over the past couple of years. Right now, I’m working on a couple of different short stories that I started years ago and never finished, and am editing my sci-fi/romance WIP.
Wow, eleven siblings? I only have two 😂 And I’m homeschooled too! (go homeschool) I really like the symbolism behind your name! What are your Youtube channel and blog usually about?
Anyway, some newbie questions!
1. What is your favorite genre to read/write? What is you favorite thing that you have written?
2. Stranded on an island. If you like music, what are five songs or five albums that you would want to have if you were stranded on an island? Basically top five, whether through quality or sentiment.
3. Stranded on an island but five books.
4. Favorite movies or tv shows?
5. If you could make any activity an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance of winning a medal for?
Welcome to Kingdom Pen, again! I hope to see you around!

It sounds like you enjoy allegorical writing. What are some of your favorite allegories that you’ve read and/or written?
Do you enjoy worldbuilding? If so, do you like to worldbuild with particular allegorical concepts?
And last but not least…

@janellebelovedpig Hello there! I love the name (and the reason behind it). Pigs are cool. Even though real-life ones tend to smell REALLY bad…..
A couple questions:
Opinions on reptiles? Love or hate, or somewhere in between?
Ever written a fan fiction?

The meaning of your name is amazing!! I love it!
Man… 11 kids!! I thought my family of 6 was big! XD

Ok, so the random, unrelated-to-writing questions that you’ve given to some of the people who’ve recently joined are hilarious! 😂 And very deep… 🧐🤣

Hello there! Welcome to KP, Janelle!! I love your name. It’s so pretty! 😍😊❤️
I’m Lightoverdarkness6, a Christian, Homeschooled (Yep, me too!! XD) teen girl who loves drawing, exploring the great outdoors, riding horses, playing piano, ranting about books/movies and characters, writing, Middle Earth and anything from Tolkien, and our Savior, Jesus Christ.
I love your username and the symbolism!! That story is so relatable. I must admit, I would’ve been pretty lost if you hadn’t explained the meaning, lol 😆.
As for questions,
1. Which of your characters are most like you?
2. If you could choose any three people (fictional or non-fictional) to meet, who would you choose and what would you ask them?
3. Are any of your characters based on real people?
4. Do you have a favorite T.V. show?
Anyway, it’s amazing to meet you, and I hope you have an AMAZING time here on KP!! God bless! 😊❤️❤️
