@ariella-newheart Ohh. . . yeah, I don’t like chemistry either. 😛
Hey, I took screenshots of that entire conversation after it was over. . . so yeah, I don’t blame you. Thanks for remembering the date by the way. 😀
Remember that other time we and Xonos were on Ace’s doc? Do you know what day that was? Also fun fact, after you left, Xonos left and then came back and masqueraded as you, and Ace and I both believed him. He only told me he was actually Xonos after Ace left. X’D
The pomodoro is the best tool for procrastinators ever invented. It gives you a timer to do work, and when that timer goes off, it sets another shorter timer for taking a break, and then starts up the work timer again. After a set amount of work timers and break timers, it gives you a long break timer. I have a digital pomodoro timer on my computer, and basically it goes like this:
Work Timer: 40 minutes
Break Timer: 10 minutes
Work Timer: 40 minutes
Break Timer: 10 minutes
Work Timer: 40 minutes
Break Timer: 10 minutes
Work Timer: 40 minutes
Long Break Timer: 30 minutes
And then it repeats until you turn it off! It’s awesome.I know. XD I’ll request it from the library or something.

April 25, 2019 at 5:13 pm #78853@ariella-newheart Hello! Good to see you here too. It’s awesome about KP still being here, isn’t it? 🙂
What are you working on?

www.jennaterese.comApril 25, 2019 at 5:20 pm #78854Hey, @jenwriter17! How’s it going?

April 25, 2019 at 5:23 pm #78855@dekreel Yeah, I do remember! *searches through notes* If this is correct, we had that conversation on January 21st, 2018. Waitaminute, Xonos did WHAT? And he succeeded? That’s crazy! xD
Ooh, I think I’ve heard of the concept of pomodoro timers before, just not the actual name. That does sound helpful.
@jenwriter17 Yes, it is awesome. When I tried to reach the site to find a certain article and couldn’t, I was very much dismayed. Now I can browse the archives to my heart’s content (and perhaps be more a little more active on KP in the process).I have set the goal of completely editing my first book by the summer to send it to beta readers. (I don’t know if I’ll ever have another chance to do it since I anticipate life will get crazy very soon.) Reading The Blue Sword also jolted me out of writer’s block on another project, so I’m doing that for the word war on SE. *glances around warily* Err, am I allowed to speak the name of that place here?

April 25, 2019 at 5:28 pm #78856@ariella-newheart Thanks. I KNOW, I KNOW!! I’m still headdesking about it because it was SO OBVIOUS it was him! I even remember being a tiny bit suspicious! X’D I wonder if he’s told Ace about it. She’d flip.
I miss him. . . I miss everyone. . . o,.o
Yeah, it’s super helpful. 😀
Err, am I allowed to speak the name of that place here?
I think so. 😉

April 25, 2019 at 5:32 pm #78858@dekreel I’m doing pretty good. 🙂 And you?
@ariella-newheart Yes, there are so many good articles on here, it’d be terrible to not be able to access it anymore.Wow. How far are you through editing? Do you enjoy editing?
Yes, we talk about SE here. 😉 A lot of us are on both their forum and this one. We are just determined not to let everyone leave KP, lol. 😀

www.jennaterese.comApril 25, 2019 at 5:35 pm #78859@jenwriter17 I’m okay.

Yeah, that just about sums it up.
What I want to know is, why did Josiah make a totally new website instead of just updating Kingdom Pen? That’s never made sense to me.

April 25, 2019 at 5:43 pm #78860Idk. Maybe it was just easier since SE isn’t just for teen/young adults, it’s for everybody. They seem to have a totally different plan for SE than they did for KP.
brbr in a few…

www.jennaterese.comApril 25, 2019 at 5:45 pm #78861@dekreel Huh, I’ll have to ask Ace about that. Or maybe we should tag Xonos here to ask him ourselves. 😉
*glances at screen, jumps up from chair* YES, I finished French! That was…relatively painless. Appareil photo and quatre-vingt dollars will haunt my dreams, but at least I sort of understand. xD
Wow. How far are you through editing? Do you enjoy editing?
About four chapters into a thirty chapter book. And I haven’t even gotten to the parts that need edited the most. *wince* And yes, I enjoy editing very much. I’m what I call an “obsessive editor” who hates to share her work (even with alpha and beta readers) without polishing it to the epitome of perfection. I know that’s never possible, but my perfectionist side disagrees. It’s something I struggle with.
It was great to talk to you guys. I’m going to my other computer for a while, the one where most of my writing projects are stored. (It doesn’t have internet and thus I cannot actually talk to you guys whilst writing.) Wish me Aether! *waves*

April 25, 2019 at 5:46 pm #78862@jenwriter17 I mean they could have just updated KP so it was for writers of all ages. *shrug*

April 25, 2019 at 5:52 pm #78863@ariella-newheart Or we could tag Ace, I suppose. XD
Congrats!! I should probably do some work myself.
Having a separate computer with no internet to write on is actually an ingenious idea. Aether be with you!! 😉
Well now I’m curious. @xonos-darkgrate, did you ever tell Aislinn that you masqueraded as Ariella that one time we were on her Embers Burning doc in January 2018?
You can pronounce it however you want.
April 25, 2019 at 5:53 pm #78864That’s good that you like editing. It’s probably my least favorite part of the writing process, unfortunately.
Okay, see ya! I wish you luck! 😀
@dekreel True, true. idk, I like SE and everything they do, but I miss the way KP used to be.I'm a Kapeefer 'TIL WE'RE OLD AND GREY!
www.jennaterese.comApril 25, 2019 at 5:59 pm #78865@jenwriter17 Same here. I miss all the inside jokes going on. I feel like Story Embers is so busy that there are several different friend circles. But maybe it just feels overwhelming because I’m not as active there as I was in KP when it was still a big thing.
I’d better get going, too. I have work to finish up. Good to see you!

April 25, 2019 at 6:04 pm #78866@dekreel Yeah, there are just so many people coming in, sometimes it’s hard to really get to know anybody new.
Okay, bye! Good to see you too! 🙂
@seekjustice @rochellaine You two wanna join me?I'm a Kapeefer 'TIL WE'RE OLD AND GREY!
www.jennaterese.comApril 25, 2019 at 8:53 pm #78867@ariella-newheart @dekreel @jenwriter17 I’m here now. Working on a story for writers’ club tomorrow. 🙂
IMMA KAPEEFER! Til we're old and gray!
