@graciegirl I played “Solitude” several years ago, but that’s it. I like to compose my own songs in the style of David Nevue and Brian Crain, and I also play a couple composed by Dario Marianelli for P&P (please don’t label me as a Austen nerd, or someone who wants to marry Mr. Darcy. He actually kind of bothers me, though I do enjoy Miss…[Read more]

Yes, @daeus, that was very helpful. Now I’m off to make sure my character has a goal as she’s struggling with shyness! And figure out how her goals will change as she changes.
@anne-of-lothlorien I love Stepping Heavenward! It’s on my “Top Ten Books I Recommend To Girls” list. Thank you too for the “reader feedback.” That reminds me…I have…[Read more] -

@that_writer_girl_99 Thank you for the input. I shall see what I can do. *alright words. You are at my command, so why don’t you do something*
@perfectfifths Oh goody! I need picky people. 😛 Thanks for the edits! I need them all!

@anne-of-lothlorien Mmm…you’re right. But I couldn’t steal ice cream from you. I’m just too nice of a dragon for that. 😛 Besides, my melting things is solely confined to chairs. I’m afraid that I’m not as scary as dragon’s should be. *shuffles off to find some ice cream and to write the last few parts of the sequel.* Just 2 or 3 left! Rejoice everyone!

Thanks, @daeus I actually just listened to your lesson on conflict two days ago, and so the added insight was helpful!
If I’m showing her thought process, and then how she acts, and how she changes, is that sufficient “conflict” (I’ll use quotes to show I’m not discussing warfare) for a book of this genre?For example, the first part to my…[Read more]

That was fast! It’s easy to see you believe in the cause of the Kingdom! @daeus
I’m currently studying holiness in the book of 1 Peter. Something really eye-opening for me was discovering that grace to obey comes as we obey. We don’t wait around till we feel Christ-like, but obey right now, with the faith that God will work. I really desire…[Read more]

Hello fellow scribblers.
I had an idea for a slice-of-life story about a young shy girl’s struggle with making friends, and her ups and downs in her walk with the Lord. My question is: will a story of that nature actually interest people, and will it have enough conflict?
What are some pitfalls I need to avoid with slice-of-life? Any tips are welcome. -

Hello KPers! I joined the forum a few weeks ago and haven’t yet introduced myself. But…I can remedy that, right?

@ethryndal For some reason, it’s not letting me respond to that thread… :/ Anyway, I’ve been on KP for maybe a year, just not very active until now. The “Stewards of the Pen” thing kind of gave me an incentive to do more, you know, find time! 😉 How about you?

@daeus *shuffles feet and shifts around in melted chair* Erm…yes. I know…it’s rather crazy…but it’s worth a shot… I might not get to some of them, but they’re the best ideas I’ve had in a while. Besides, novellas should only take about a month to write, right? That’s an entire years worth of writing. Yikes.

@ceaseless-prayer Huh. It did that to me a couple days ago. Weird.
Ah yes, the Stewards of the Pen thing. I wish I had social media just so I could promote this awesome place. 🙂 I’ve been here for about six months. It’s crazy though, because I FEEL like I’ve been here forever, and have known these people my whole life.

It is fun. It’s nice to have so many KPers with big families, most people think it is weird, or at least odd. Do you enjoy having older siblings? I always wanted some. I kind of adopt my friends’ My best friend is the second youngest of eight, & we’ve been BF since K-5, so I don’t…[Read more]
Older siblings are fun. But you know, my siblings are so close to me in age that it’s not really like having older siblings, if you know what I mean. We’re more like partners in crime. 😉 And hey, adopted siblings are almost as good as the real thing, am I right? I also know a family with eight kids (how coincidental is that? XD), three of which…[Read more]
Yeah, I do, I don’t really feel like my eighteen & sixteen-year old sisters are younger than me. I’m 20, so, your sister’s age? 😉 Yeah, almost. 😉 We have a wonderful church where we are all really close, kind of like a big extended family. Where do you guys go to church? Me neither. I think it’s wonderful!
