@Anne-of-Lothlorien Yep. XD They’re like ‘everyone do something’ and I’m like… do what?

This is just too funny. All the cliches and the soy ice cream and dragons and raspberries… XD If anyone asks what Kingdom Pen is, we should just send them to this story.

@Leumeister Yep, just email the KP email. Sarah is out of the country, so I’m currently taking care of emails and can forward emails on to members who need them. 😀

@dragon-snapper I might have been called King Daeus once, but I can’t remember clearly. I know we called Josiah The Wiser a couple times. 😉

@emma-flournoy *bows low, stroking cliché mustache* Much appreciated.

😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

I was planning to write right about now, but then this came up, and, well…I’m not disappointed I stopped to read. May the clichés never end!

Ok, my top recommendations are these:

The Count of Monte Cristo — my all time favorite novel. It’s huge, but well worth every page. It’s historical fiction and high drama.

Cry The Beloved Country — The best explicitly Christian novel I’ve ever read. It’s very deep and very moving. It’s got heart for sure.

Thoughts:

The imagery here is good.

First line: wakes works better than awakes.

“No longer free does flow” doesn’t flow well off the tongue.

“the earth had”: “the earth was” works better, I think.

“To warmer weather flee”: Took me a moment to figure out what that meant.

“through flowers flit”: I love the sound of that 🙂

The rythm wasn’t…[Read more]

@Anne-of-Lothlorien I don’t see anything to pick at, but there’s not much more than externals here. Here are my questions to get to the heart of the story.

1. What’s the girl’s inner longing? e.g. she wants her parents to be reunited.
2. What’s the girl’s story goal? e.g. get back to her parents. (it’s best if her longing and goal can be closely…[Read more]

Hmm. Somebody added me to their facebook group. That might be neat to attend. We’ll see.

@bethanysinkyroses I would think a simple business card type of design would work very well. It can have our name, tagline, and website on one side. On the other, it might have the list of things we provide, such as forum/community, courses, articles, contests, etc. What might be really cool is if there were a place on the design for people to…[Read more]

@his-instrument Cool! I shall have to check these out.

(@aratrea You’ll have to add these to your list of potential partners.)

Signing off. I edited half a chapter.

@dragon-snapper @daughteroftheking I’m joining in.

@everyone OK, I’m signing off too. Did pretty well. See you tomorrow, I hope.

Um…maybe I shouldn’t say this and don’t take it as an absolute that is going to happen, but on the retreat we actually did put it in the plan to host a nationwide KP conference at a time in the future which I should probably not reveal lest we not be able to meet the deadline. Very likely though, it will become…[Read more]

@winter-rose I can excuse myself by saying I’ve spent the last three days at Josiah’s house with a lot of other people from the KP staff. I hope you won’t melt me for saying KeePers are even more wonderful in person than online. Seriously. We’ve got a great staff.

@dragon-snapper @that_writer_girl_99 @winter-rose I’ll join you till nine.

@delightinlife Yep. 🙂 No date set yet, but I believe I’ll plan to reach out to people we want to be on the panel this week and then the panel will probably happen something like two weeks later.
