@lydia-s Ah, I see, I see. Well, nevertheless my congratulations still stand–finishing half of high school is no easy feat! And thank you!!! It’s all been very exciting 😀

That’s an excellent question! It really varied from class to class. Like, in my Early American Lit class we read books like Walden, Last of the Mohicans, House of Seven G…[Read more]

@ariel-f Hello Ariel!! Welcome to Kingdom Pen! I’m Elizabeth:D

Your WIP sounds so cool!!! How long have you had the idea for it?

I saw that you like listening to Christian music (for King and Country is an excellent choice, btw). Have you heard of Tenth Avenue North?

Question for you: what’s your favorite beverage? (Tea, coffee, lemonade,…[Read more]

@annika123 Hello and welcome to the Kingdom of Pen! I’m Elizabeth, and it’s so very nice to meet you:D That’s so cool you like writing middle-grade! It’s such an underappreciated genre, tbh. Do you like reading in the same genre?

@elfwing Hello and welcome to the Kingdom of Pen! I’m Elizabeth, and it’s so very nice to meet you!

Ah yes, a fellow homeschooler and Tolkienite! *fistbump* Wow, your Tolkien list is impressive! I own the Book of Unfinished Tales, but haven’t gotten around to reading it yet. *shakes fist at homework*

Awww, Yoshi is such a cute name for a…[Read more]

@lydia-s Eyyy congratulations on finishing high school!!!! That’s such an accomplishment! *throws confetti everywhere*

For me, I’m planning on pursuing writing part-time, as I balance work, homemaking, etc. Personally, I went the college route–I actually just graduated with a BA in English literally a week and a half ago, so that’s been a bit…[Read more]

Also, sorry if you got a notification for my latest post twice… I went to edit it, and then it glitched and vanished :((( I had lots of 😀 ‘s in there but now they’re gone, too, so the punctuation might look a little strange XD Sorry about that.

(Also, thank you SO very much for posting those tips post-NaNoWriMo on the doc!! They…[Read more]

@abigail-m

OH MY WORD, I LOVE THAT EXCERPT SO MUCH!!! XD It’s positively confusing and yet lighthearted at the same time, and after scratching my head a couple of times and re-reading it, I think I understand XD Oooh, how interesting!! This is only making me want to buy the book even more now (which I possibly will this summer!!)

Ah, thank you S…[Read more]

@gracie-j

I have to apologize for my tardiness… this week has been tough so I haven’t been on KP in the past couple of days. That aside… thank you so very much!! It means the world to me that you like it:) I love yours as well–it’s very much a ‘Rina’ quote 😉

@gracie-j

Thank you so much, Grace!!:) I’m happy you like it.

@abigail-m

Judging from my last post? Yup, I’ve been defeated by the all-caps temptation, so the battle is officially over XD AWW, YOU ARE SO WELCOME!!! It always brightens my day to know I made somebody smile!! 😀 😀 😀 😀 Yes, all of your illustrations have made me SO motivated/positive during my writing journey, so THANK YOU for every single…[Read more]

@abigail-m

#1, I have to apologize for such an incredibly late response. I’ve been wrapping up the school semester and things have been… hectic, to say the least XD And #2, YES, I definitely agree with you!! Chocolate has been my therapy for writing for *counts on fingers*… too long for me to count XD *happily accepts chocolate* *hides huge st…[Read more]

@nova21 @scripter-of-kingdoms @issawriter7 Clocking out for now at ~478 words. Thank y’all for sprinting with me!!!

Fav line:

There was a note of truth in his voice, but I’d seen this sort of thing too many times to justify believing him. Instead, I took a deep breath and asked a more concrete sort of question. “What happened to you then?”

@nova21 I’ll hop on for a few!!

@nova21

Ahh, I’d love to, but I’m feeling burned out of writing after NaNo so I don’t think I’ll be doing any more sprints for a little while. Thank you for the invitation though 🙂

@scripter-of-kingdoms

Hey, that’s amazing!! <333333 Wishing you all the luck in the world to help with your un-motivation 💗

@devastate-lasting

Hehehe, I suppose we do :3 And yes, plenty of enthusiasm here..

@sparksaraabott11 Hmm, that’s such a difficult question–I think I’m going to have to go with Donna or Rose, though I do like Rory and all the others. As for the Doctors…11 has been my traditional fav, but lately I’ve found myself torn between 10 and 12.

That’s so cool that y’all are watching the OG Doctor Who!!! How has that experience been?…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting *wicked grin* Excellent, excellent–it’s quite a lovely watch in my own humble opinion, so you’re in for a treat.:D

@beth-darlene Hello and welcome to the Kingdom of Pen! I’m Elizabeth, and it’s so very nice to meet you. Would you care for some tea? *offers virtual cup*

I am a fellow fan of fantasy! And was homeschooled as well, so it sounds like we already have a lot in common. 😀 I see you’ve already answered the “favorite authors” question, so I’ll hit you…[Read more]
