@warrenluther04  Welcome back!! Yeah, I’ll accept you back. AS LONG AS YOU STAY LOYAL! 😉

I think The Kingdom of Pen and the… what do you call that place… what, Embria? Emberland? Um… 😛 Anyway, I think the two should be separate, but still associated with each other. Like frenemies. Maybe. I don’t know.

I like the network of islands idea!

And @kaya-young , could you amend Til We’re Old and Gray? It’s not only women in Writer’s Corner anymore….  Thanks! I haven’t fully deserted, after all. XD :)*swishes tail* *chases a squirrel*

Guys, guys, guys. I have a solution.

The Kingdoms can both coexist next to each other. 🙂 I mean, SE can be a network of islands (the Guilds) and KP can be the beautiful lush Island we know it to be. 🙂 Does that work? (I sure hope it does cuz I’m writing stuff like that in my series.) 🙂

@dekreel

Hullo, Dekreel! Our friendly neighborhood Chasm Beast is back! Yipee! *howls in happiness* 😀 😀 😀

I, too, feel like I’ve kinda … deserted …

… the

… Kingdom…

*cries* ☹️😭😭

Will you guys accept me back? Please????? I’m still here peeps! The golden retriever lives!

Oh, and I’m still working on my KP series.…[Read more]

@alia I will keep praying for your sister.  I know the ups and downs of medical issues are hard from my experience helping care for my grandmother, who has been better and worse for the past few years.  Is your sister’s head better by now?

@ariel-ashira I’m sorry! 🙁  I’ll pray for your friend.

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 @kaya-young @daughteroftheking @alia @dekreel @ariel-ashira

Oh, I completely agree with you all!!  Kingdom Pen is an amazing place to grow as a writer and a great community for a Christian.  I have raved to my mom several times about how everyone here is so kind and friendly and sweet to each other.  Everywhere else on…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira I don’t like darkness, but I also believe there is a place for darkness in stories as long as there is light alongside it to show the right way.  Without light no one would realize when they are in darkness.  In the same way a story without any darkness is too fluffy and there’s no point in it.  I just think Josiah has gone a bit to…[Read more]

@rochellaine Josiah’s stories do have a lot of darkness with not much if any light to combat it.  Some of them are a little too scary and maybe gory, like when they torture people.  (I am kind of a wimp.)  But I think his short stories explore human motivations, not instruct moral decisions.  And they sure leave me thinking!  I do like how his…[Read more]

Guys, I really can’t tell you how much KP means to me! *tears*  It has brought light during one of the darkest times of my life.  You are the best friends I have ever had!  I couldn’t ask for better.  Thank you God!

Which brings me to a prayer request.  I have a friend I knew in Alaska, when we were both little.  We were god friends then,  but it…[Read more]

@alia  Praying for your sister!

@seekjustice  @daughteroftheking  You guys are making my heart feel so warm right now!

I am so blessed to have found this wonderful place! Even as our numbers deteriorate, I’m so glad I have found a community like this. I can’t imagine where my life would be right now if I hadn’t started participating. Even if I’…[Read more]

hey everyone who was praying for my sister, while her legs haven’t been nearly as terrible this week, she did hit her head extremely hard earlier this evening and now we aren’t sure if she has a concussion.

@seekjustice, @jenwriter17, @kaya-young, @daughteroftheking, @everyone-else-on-kp

I have been super blessed on this site. I don’t have…[Read more]

Writing is an “alone-y” sort of thing. We sit in our caves, or corners, or hidey holes, and turn ideas into worlds and people. We may be surrounded by make-believe characters, but if an innocent bystander were to peek into our writing spaces, they would see a teenager on a laptop (or notebook. Or even phone, I won’t judge.). Just one teenager. But…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I have seen authors that do that.  Or use their full first name, and then middle and last name letters (like: Esther M.W.).

@dekreel *sobs* I forgot to tag you! (See above) and @sam-kowal too.

(Praying for you Dekreel. I know this sort of thing can be tough to go through. *sends encouraging hugs, chocolate and…uh…glitter and feathers your way*

Do you know what? I love you guys so so much.

I’ve just got back from my brief hiatus and I’m catching up on everything that’s happened while I’ve been away and I’m literally sitting here and thanking God that he directed me here over a year ago.

The fact is, as awesome as the meme threads and the writers corner and the advice we give each other…[Read more]

@alia Coolio. So, who’s been ruling in the royal family’s place?

@gh24682468999 @dekreel I guess the excuse “I’m doing research” only gets us so far. XD

Piggybacking on what @daughteroftheking said:

You know you are a writer when you wish there was a way to test if a knife or sword is actually stained red after someone stabs somebody… without hurting someone.

@jenwriter17 I chose to use a pen name, simply because I don’t want my real name circulating around on the interweb. 🙂 I’ve never published anything, though. If I do, I will use my pen name. For now, I just use it on writerish websites like this one.

@jenwriter17 Personally, I am going to use my real name unless my parents forbid me to, which I don’t think they will.  (They are pretty protective too, and felt more comfortable with me using a pen name here.)  I guess I just like my real name as much as Ariel Ashira, and I want people to know me by it.  My last name is different than most, so pe…[Read more]
