@libby Hi! Welcome to our lovely Kingdom! I love playing piano too!

I give information about myself upon receiving specific questions, haha, because my brain is dead most of the time.

So what kind of music do you like to play? Classical or contemporary? And what sort of books do you read?…[Read more]

@gracie-j @leon-fleming

See, there’s this manga I like where all the characters are famous writers, and Margaret Mitchell is really cool. So I thought I might give hers a try. I asked my dad one day during dinner, “How long is Gone With the Wind?”

Anyways. I thought i might’ve known if it was over a thousand pages long. But at least its…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I actually base most of my quirks off of real people, haha. And I think that quirks really do make a story more attractive than a premise. XD

@libby

The Hunger Games Trilogy isn’t like any books I’ve ever read and it definitely stands out from your typical YA fiction. (I’m actually in the middle of reading it again right now) Some of the things I like about it is that the characters are complex, the theme is deep, and the writing style is so easy to read without being overly…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

It’s funny how the quirks of your characters remind me of some of my siblings.XD

I have a brother who wheres a black ball cap 90% of the time and frequently orders a root beer, a sister who collects coffee mugs and buys books on a daily basis. Though, I don’t have a sibling who wears trench coats.

For some reason, hearing…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Hmmm…*immediately forgets everything I’ve ever done, ever*

I suddenly want to know a lot more about that villain of yours.

Hmm…I’m gonna take quirks to mean “not bad things”. I have one character that’s always barefoot, another who constantly wears a white baseball cap, and another who always orders a beer but gets a root beer…[Read more]

Hi Jaydyn! Welcome to the Kingdom Pen forum!

I’m Kathleen, and I hang out here a lot in the Kingdom of Pen. (It’s quite nice btw).

Your favorite books are some of my favorite as well! Except for the Kingdom Series, although I’ve heard a lot about it, (we even have an interview with the author on KP), I still have yet to read…[Read more]

@leon-fleming

Those are some great topic ideas! You don’t mind if I steal some of them do you? And if any other topic of the week ideas pop into your head, I’d love to hear them.

Maybe a topic of the week could be, “What do you want future topic of the week to be?” XD. I bet a lot of people have some killer ideas that I haven’t thought of.

@leon-fleming

I don’t think you can go wrong with Treasure Island and Pirates of the Caribbean. There’s just isn’t enough books out there in that style! Well, maybe there are actually a ton of books like that, that I just haven’t heard of.XD (If there are please let me know.)

@lewilliams

Both scenes sound very intriguing! Are both scenes from…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver

This is awesome! Congrats! You can count on many prayers from me. 🙂

The links don’t seem to be working. Welp…

I might post other links later…(like if my Goodreads account ever gets verified as an author, haha) but for now you can see my updates and things on Instagram.

@selah-chelyah Ah, thank you! Even though I have no idea what you just agreed to haha

@leon-fleming When Eleven talks to people, he comes off as a bit rude because he generally brings up things that he couldn’t have known about. He never introduces himself, and switches randomly from topic to topic. And I’m afraid he’s more on the average side…[Read more]

@leon-fleming Oh hey, you’re back! Nice to see your presence.

Thanks for the tips; I generally stay away from caffeinated things because it does things to my blood, but I’ll keep that in mind. And I recently put Gone With the Wind, The Brothers Karamazov, and The Chosen on hold at my library, so I’m stocked up for the next few weeks or month, th…[Read more]

@leon-fleming As someone who has at least 300 characters from different stories all over, this is a very hard question. 🙂

I suppose I’ll go by story here. Maybe. Or at least sift through the slightly developed ones.

(Half your tags are missing, which leads me to believe that you are tagging nonexistent people. XD)

There’s my central character…[Read more]

@gracie-j

Haha, yes, we did hire him for a reason.XD Oooh, it would be great if you could cook something up! The Kingdom of Pen could always use some fresh poetry.

@leon-fleming

Wow, five years you say? Well, LotR took fifteen years to write, so… maybe that’s a good sign? When it comes to outlining there’s never a very clear set end to it all. You could outline a novel in a day, or in a decade. Just depends on what story your trying to tell and what kind of writer you are.

@gracie-j

I would love to give suggestions/critiques however, I’m an absolute beginner when it comes to poetry. Though I’m sure @leon-fleming will have some advice to give.

But I can say from a consumer perspective, I really enjoyed it! I love the message it has, both it’s meaning and that it wasn’t too in-your-face. It’s a poem that you can…[Read more]

@gracie-j Haha, thanks for the tip. Reading bad writing always helps XD

@kathleenramm Yep! The next story is going to be kind of a prequel to this one, but it happens in a small seaside town in a summer where a strange cafe appears, along with some extremely strange people. Totally relaxing. Totally not going to have mysterious disappearances 🙂
