@nanisnook

Sure!! I’d be more than happy to sprint with you!!:)

@lewilliams

Ah… interacting with characters is one of the most enjoyable and lovable things about writing, isn’t it? Most of the time, that is XD Yes, of course we will! *high-fives* Haha, maybe I will!! Thank you so much for the motivation!! I’m scheduled to write around 9,000-ish words(?) before Friday to meet my NaNo objective, so… *gulp*…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 Ha! That’s exactly how I interact with my characters XD Hey, we’ll figure it out someday, right? Whohoo!! You should celebrate when you come to the end of NaNo–that’s such a feat. You’re so close!!!! You can do it!!!!:D

Thank you so much for your kind words! <3 <3 I actually just submitted said four essays (which I ended up…[Read more]

@lewilliams

Heh, I guess so, huh? I feel like my characters are turning to me with questions about where the story is going, and I just shrug and haven’t the slightest idea. Only four more days of NaNo left, though!:D Oh, yikes. Writing four essays doesn’t sound ideal : Good luck with it! You’ll do just fine–I’m certain of it. 🙂 Graduation is…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 Ehehe, I can tell>:P Ah yes, unexpected NaNo things are just lovely, aren’t? It really just yanks your story in all sorts of beautifully unexpected places. I’m sure you’ll figure it out soon though! 😀 And heh, thanks–I also tend to procrastinate, but in this case, my “Christ and Culture” class is like, “Oh? You want to graduate?…[Read more]

@lewilliams

Thanks, Elizabeth!! 😀 Haha, that was an… interesting scene that I wrote yesterday. Not sure what’s going to happen, but that’s what I signed up for with NaNo, I guess. XD. Oooh, that’s a fantastic word count!! And *pained smile* I’m proud of you for actually writing for school, because me on the other hand… *ignores my thousands…[Read more]

I recognize that everyone’s probably in/doing school at this early hour, but I’m going to be sprinting (aka working on my final exam) starting at :00, so anyone’s welcome to hop in if they want!

@devastate-lasting It was Kingdom Hearts II. So, while that turn of events was hardly unexpected, it was way more sudden than I’d expected. The scene did include Mickey saying, “They’ll pay for this,” really dramatically though, so I can’t exactly complain. 😛

Ah yes, they’re so great, aren’t they?? I find myself emulating them quite often–or…[Read more]

@ilena-louise Hello and welcome to Kingdom Pen! I’m Elizabeth, and it’s very nice to meet you! Would you care for some tea? *offers virtual cup*

*gasp* Someone else is a fan of Lloyd Alexander?! He’s one of my all-time favs! (Of course, Tolkien obviously takes the lead there, but he’s still quite wonderful.) Do you have a favorite book of…[Read more]

@sparksaraabbott11 Hello and welcome to Kingdom Pen!! I apologize for my lateness, but it seems that you’ve been given a very warm welcome in my absence. 😀 I see you’re a Doctor Who fan! Who’s your favorite companion? (I saw that 11’s your favorite Doctor, which is an excellent choice:D). Also, your nickname is just the coolest.

@devastate-lasting I know what you mean about not liking self-sacrificing heroes getting immediately raised from the dead–in the video game my husband and I are playing, there was a character who sacrificed himself to save another character in what was one of the more genuinely epic moments of the game thus far. Or, at least we thought he’d…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 Wow, that’s a lot of words!!! (And I love the excerpt you posted–it’s simply beautiful). Sorry for disappearing on you! I think I ended up writing, like, 179 words. Which, though it was far less than I wanted to, it was technically for an exam, so I’m alright with it. #happyfinalsweektome

@lewilliams

I think I’m going to go ahead and clock out from writing now (I had to take a couple of breaks), but I ended up with around 975 words!! Thank you so much for inviting me to sprint with you!! 💗 How did your writing go?? 😀 😀 😀

@issawriter7

I actually finished sprinting about an hour ago (I had to break for dinner) and thought I’d post my word count/fave lines!! Word count: around 1,650 words. Fave lines:

Though, she’d been through more near-death experiences than could be counted on one hand. This one surely would prove nothing more. Except this time, she had four a…

@lewilliams

Hehe, thank you!! It was quite tasty 😛 Oh, okay, that works great then, lol!! Good luck on your writing!!:)

@writerlexi1216 Oh that’s absolutely fine–I hope your dinner was tasty!! I actually didn’t end up starting just then, so that works out perfectly, lol:P

@lewilliams

Sorry I haven’t responded yet!! I was eating dinner, but I’ll still jump in if that’s okay!!:D

@writerlexi1216 @andanyoneelse I’ll be sprinting again for a bit, so feel free to hop on if you want! 😀

@issawriter I’m so sorry–I didn’t see your post until just now! You’re always welcome to sprint with me though!!! 😀

@writerlexi1216 Hehe, thanks–and oof, nothing beefs up a wordcount quite like NaNo:P Oooh, that would be lovely!!! I’ll tag you when I hop on again!:D

Signing off for now at 737 words!

@issawriter7

Girl, I’m so sorry I’m late for our sprint!! Would it be okay if I joined at :00? I was out with my mom and ended up getting home later than expected : So sorry about that!! And yes, that sounds AWESOME, girl!! I’m glad we’re in the same time so it isn’t confusing, either!! XD

@joy-caroline

Aww, thank you Joy!!!…[Read more]
