I’m crazy. I know that

I think your beginning is fantastic, it really pulled my in. So uness you come up with something better I’d say leave it.

I stare at his eyes. There’s something i…

Well, actually I prefer sharks, but you know. Memes.

Reading and writing, you say? Do you have a favorite genre to read and write? Or two if they’re different? Do you have a favorite book?

CS Lewis is da bomb.

You know you’re a writer when you have to sleep on the couch and as you’re laying there staring at the ceiling you think, “I am going to get no sleep tonight either way. Might as well work on my story.”

You know you’re a writer when you think plot twists are a gift and…[Read more]

I sing so much. My entire family hates it.

@kate-flournoy Technically, I have no professional training. I have this yearly choir I’m a part of, but that last 5 weeks and I’m in a group of 100+ people. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUt I did figure out I was a soprano through that so that counts.

I sing nonstop.…[Read more]

I have read a lot of thing on Kingdom Pen. But this- THIS- wins as my favorite. By far. You win. Everything. *applauds*

*bursts in poof of sparkles*

Timing. Is. Amazing.

Funnily enough, not only am I reading (in my opinion) the best revenge plot ever write, a la Hamlet, but am also writing a paper on Hamlet/Revenge vs Justice. But I don’t really have anything to say beyond what @kate-flournoy said soooo… darn it, Kate, you’re always so thorough.…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when you have blogger friends that you talk to more than your real friends.

@Mark-Kamibaya

This was deep. I liked your distinction between a general antihero and a true antihero. It’s something I hadn’t before thought of and now that I think about agree with. Distinction is necessary. I think that’s where my personal definition fell short, that and not clarifying…[Read more]

if your story isn’t interesting without the romantic subplot then you’re doing it wrong

the obvious exception to this being if you’re writing purely in the romance genre. I feel like, yeah, that is a trap too many authors fall into. The y want you to think”there has to be romance…[Read more]

and yes. i would like some free cheesecake and ice cream.

no seriously. i’m craving it for real now

Why, hello there, new friend. Welcome to Kingdom Pen!!!

I do not think that a hero is NECESSARY to an antihero. I think an antihero can function just as well as a character without a hero. Antiheroes have the ability to be very deep, complex, meaningful characters all by themselves. That’s why I love them.

But in Christian writing, I think this is also something…[Read more]

Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard is fantastic, though if you get it you should probably get the sequel alongside it and spare yourself the suspense.

If you’ve never read Little Men (yes: men. not women) by Lousia May Alcott you need…[Read more]

This is quite beautiful and tear-provoking. I love it. Wonderful job!

(Honestly, though. I live in Nebraska, literally right in the middle of everything and I never go anywhere. A sad little life is mine. 😀 )

The short story is fantastic, we seem to have a similar sense of humor. 🙂 You can expect to see me back on your blog in the future.

Cassian Andor I had never thought about, in spite of him being the only character I liked in the whole movie. I’ve spent the last 15 minutes…[Read more]

I am going to be completely honest here. Antiheroes are my favorite. I think it all started when I watched Teen Titans when I was 10 and one of my favorite characters was Red X.

I think what makes antiheroes so fascinating is that they challenge the line between right and wrong. They look for the shades of grey between the black and…[Read more]

Judging by the little bit I skimmed previous conversations, I have this to say: @his-instrument never read the book, saw the musical though and that’s close enough. I also like Eponine better than Cosette, much…[Read more]
