@daeus What do you mean by established? Like, it’s my full time job? I have several books published? If so, the answer is… I don’t know.

@Daeus YES.

@daeus I do – but in a minor way. Partially because writing isn’t the most important thing for me anymore. As I have grown older there are other things I find I want to do with my life, and writing is more of a side career for me than my main focus. However, I do wish to write well enough to impact the culture on a small scale.

@daeus I definitely would! I dream of having a well known book, not for my own glory, but one that has a Christian message but is well written so more readers are interested.

Snapper replied to the topic Informal Survey in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 9 months ago
@daeus Never.
XD Just kidding. Of course I do!

MNValentine replied to the topic Informal Survey in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 9 months ago
@daeus Definitely.
@that_writer_girl_99 @princessfoo Actually that’s not entirely true. I can’t speak for Twilight since I read only one book and hated it, but Harry Potter has very strong messages about love and self sacrifice. The movies almost completely erase these messages, but in the books they’re still there, and I think underneath the…[Read more]

@daeus For me, that’s why I write.
To be completely honest, I haven’t been writing for very long at all, but I love to read. Sometimes I’ve found myself disgusted by the lack of depth and “fluff” of magazine articles, and the stuff that’s in our local newspaper. So I’ve set a goal for myself to try and submit 10 articles to stuff like KP, f…[Read more]

@daeus I do.

PrincessFoo replied to the topic Informal Survey in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 9 months ago
@daeus I’d like to, but I can’t see myself getting as popular and impactful as Twilight or the Hunger Games.

Snapper replied to the topic Quick Announcement in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 9 months ago
Well, for me, it’s price… I don’t have a job yet and there are other things I need to be able to pay for…
But also, it’s mainly that you’ve already helped me so much with show don’t tell just by working with me on my book. 😛 So… there’s not much demand on the Snapper side of things. (Unless you were to beta-read all my books. Lol)

*bows* May I humbly request that I tag more than ten people for the KPA? (I’m planning on posting the first part really soon!)

Joy replied to the topic How many characters is too many? in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 9 months ago
@ariella-newheart Good question! I have struggled with the exact same thing in my KPA (that’s Kapeefer Adventure, sort of like the LOKD). I guess it depends on the series: How long it is, and when and where your MC(s) are traveling. If you have to put in all your recurring characters, you could either alter the characters so they fit each scene,…[Read more]

Emma Flournoy posted an update 6 years, 9 months ago
Hullo peeps, I have a message from our historic forum doctor, @BlueJay, whom many of you remember but I can’t remember everyone who remembers her plus I’m only allowed ten tags so feel free to tag other people if you want. 😉
I email with her sometimes, hence the message. She says to tell you the forum doctor’s on vacation, and enjoying the hot…[Read more]-
Also, @BlueJay said she’s been having a deficit of good ideas for writing lately, and if any of you have any spare good ideas she’d love them. She still gets emails when she’s tagged. Anything’s welcome, but especially ones more on the cute short story side of things. So just in case. 😉
-
Thanks for tagging me, Emma. How is she doing? I think about her sometimes (and wonder if she ever got my edits for her Golden Conch story?). Tell her hi for me! *waves*
-
Oh, you edited The Golden Conch too? I didn’t know that. That’s a fun one. 😀 I can ask her if she ever got the edits.
Yeah, I couldn’t remember for sure if you were around when she was but I was pretty sure. 😉
She’s doing well, as far as I know… She recently won best film/best actress awards for a short film she made for a film festival, so…[Read more]-
Noice! Do you know if she’ll be coming back to Kingdom Pen sometime?
-
I don’t know. She said she’d love to sometime, but I don’t really know much about it. We can hope. 😉
-
Yep. 🙂
-
-
Here, her reply to you:
‘ I think so, but I will have to check. I’m still working on it, so if you want to send them through again, I’ll probably still use them. ‘-
Okay, I will probably do that. 😉

@emma-flournoy BlueJay is Australian?! Huh! I didn’t know that…
Anyway, now that I know that she still gets emails… Can I pass a message to her?Hiya, @bluejay! I’m Dekreel! 😀 We haven’t met yet, but I am aware of the circumstances, so oddly enough, I miss you! XD So, when you return, expect a greeting from me like we’d always known each…[Read more]
-
Thanks Dekreel. *grins* I’m sure she’s loving your enthusiastic response. Thanks for the story ideas too. 😉 I don’t know what she thinks of any of them, but if she says anything about ’em I’ll pass it on. 😉
-
BlueJay says ‘can’t wait until I get to meet you properly. ‘
😀
-
-
Oh, that’s great @emma-flounoy! She was the first person to welcome me, and one of the best friends I’ve ever had here. Please say hi from me, and that I miss her. 🙂 Also I’m glad she’s enjoying the hot weather, ’cause I’m not. 😛
-
-
Heh, I don’t enjoy hot weather either. XD Happily for us it won’t be Summer for quite a bit yet over here.
I’ll definitely tell her. 😀-
Thanks, girl. 😉 @emma-flournoy
-
She says: ‘ I’m missing you too. I’d be happy to email with you if you want. ‘ 😉
-
Oh good! We were going to exchange emails when she was here, but my mum was ‘thinking about it’ and we missed the opportunitiy. I’ll ask her again. 🙂 @bluejay @emma-flournoy
-
Great!

Sure thing, I will. 😀 Thanks.

@BLUEJAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yesssss, you will get this message! I MISS YOU, girl! It’s hard being substitute doctor around here, especially since there’s so much ice cream going around.
Uh, writing ideas. Right. Do something about puppies. Maybe a man who’s deaf with a dog assistant. From the dog point of view?
Or a story about a…[Read more]

Woah. Um, @bluejay, I think @dragon-snapper just gave you the highest compliment possible for her to give.
An unmelted chair, AND phone, AND chocolate! Impressive! -
Yeah, impressive. XD O.K., her message to you, Snapper:
@dragon-snapper *sinks gratefully into chair and types message on phone while eating chocolate* it’s a good life.
I really like the idea about the guide dog from it’s perspective.
I shall have to think about the pizza idea for a bit. 🙂
-
-
@Winter-Rose From BlueJay: ‘I like your ideas. Very cute. ‘
-
-
Aww, I was just thinking about her the other day. She was the first one who welcomed me when I came on here as a scared little elfling, and it was the warmest greeting ever. Say hello for me. We miss her.

I shall indeed.

@daeus Thanks! I’ve heard a lot about this place. I was advised to bring a shield. Better to be safe than sorry. 😉
I don’t mind at all! I actually have several WIPs.
The one I’ve been working on for the longest time is a 5 book fantasy series which follows the main character, Ariella, through her journeys and trials as she attempts to discover…[Read more]

Hey y’all!
So, my older brother broke his clavicle in two places last Monday skiing, and he needed surgery to fix it. My dad and I are at the hospital right now and he is in surgery as we type. It’s not dangerous or anything, but he’ll have a healing process of the incision that will be a little tough. He also can sometimes freak a little if he…[Read more]

@dekreel That would be fine.
