@aratrea Cool! I’ll be sure to check it out! Thanks xD

I don’t really know much about it, but I heard that The Gray Havens are playing at a writer’s conference in Moscow, Idaho called Wordsmithy late Sept. (@aratrea road trip? 😉 ) Also I know they are actually teaching one of the workshops themselves.

I don’t know of any other writers conferences currently.

@Northerner Oooh, I have heard a lot about Realm Makers. Will definitely look more into it. 🙂

@Aratrea Thanks! I’ll check it out. 🙂

@aratrea That’s a difficult question… Probably the actual quality of my writing. I can almost always manage to finish the projects that I start, so that’s not usually a problem. But I really want to work on making my writing kinda flow more, if you know what I mean.
Another thing is patience. If a writing project lasts really long I just want to…[Read more]

@seekjustice
Great question!
First, let me try to think up a reasonable response…

Personally, I love it when the character is exactly my age, but because YA is such a broad age group, that rarely happens. From 12-18, it’s hard to find a happy medium for everyone in an age group.
So.
As far as I know, the characters I’ve read in YA have…[Read more]

Wow so many questions 🙂

@Shannon: I don’t have much of a preference, but recently I’ve liked Grace Vanderwaal’s music, and I often sing worship music.

@Elizabeth: Thanks 😀

@Daeus: I first got started when I took the Common Writing Assessment in 3rd grade, and the person who graded it gave me a perfect score. And I’ve been reading for…[Read more]

Hey! Thanks for all the welcomes! I love the enthusiasm here.
So, I’ll try to answer all of your questions in order.
Thanks for the offer, @dragon-snapper. I really appreciate that!
@jane-maree, thanks for the pizza! Do you also like to mash-up a lot of different genres into one story, just for fun?
Hi, @daeus. I’m actually an INFP with an…[Read more]

She’s two steps ahead of you, @aratrea!

Hello @rjk !! Very nice to meet ya. I’m Elizabeth, and I don’t know what I contribute to the forum except for talking a lot and occasionally turning into a dragon… (that’s a joke you’ll understand later) but I’m here, a lot, and always willing to talk if you need a writing buddy or moral support. *grins*…[Read more]

Sounds to me like you need to worldbuild a bit. Build a government, build the landscape, build the people that operate within the government. Once you’ve done that, you can create characters that live inside that world, that government, and then you can create their ideals, their views, their beliefs…

I feel like @daeus or @aratrea would have…[Read more]

Now to tag a few people… (Feel free to add your thoughts even if you weren’t tagged 🙂 )

@kate-flournoy @daeus @aratrea @ethryndal @dragon-snapper @jane-maree @brandon-miller
@graciegirl @winter-rose @hope

I just thought you all should know that in a recent conversation with my mother, you all were referred to as “my little Kapeefer friends”… @aratrea @kate-Flournoy @graciegirl @ethryndal @jane-maree @christi-eaton

@Allison-grace Just a heads up, Josiah’s tag is actually @aratrea –if you look at his profile, you can find his tag. The same’s true for me– my tag is @that_writer_girl_99 (quite a mouthful, I know) but my username is just Elizabeth. Kinda confusing, but that’s how it works.

@rjk Welcome to Kingdom’s Pen! I hope you enjoy it around here, it’s pretty awesome!

About your question, I actually don’t know the answer, but let me tag a few people who probably do. 🙂

@aratrea @daeus @hope

Again, welcome!

@aratrea, it sounds interesting, I’ll have to keep a look out for it.
@kina-lamb, thank you! I look forward to getting to know you!
@emma-flourney, thank you, and I love homeschooling! I used to believe I was the only one in the world, I`ve just found that they all haunt Kingdom Pen!!!

@aratrea
Alrighty, let’s give this a go. 🙂

1. Bravery is standing up for what you believe is right no matter the consequences.
EiL: You must always stand up/fight for what you believe is right.

2. Bravery is risking everything for those you love.
EiL: Sacrificing yourself for others is the noblest act of all.

3. Bravery is the absence of…[Read more]
