The Beast is back!! Hi, guys! I’m writing

@rochellaine that sounds awesome! Have you read A Voice In The Wilderness by…uh…hold on. *looks at book on Kindle* Grace Livingston Hill? I LOVE that book!

@sam-kowal Yeah I totally didn’t watch it either. was writing 🙂

But…..

I AM SO GLAD THE EAGLES WON! MORE IMPORTANTLY; THE PATRIOTS LOST! 😉 it was so cool that some of them on the team gave glory to God. (oh, yeah I realize @livgiordano just said that)

@joisebeth Welcome to the bestistest place in the world! (hmm, seems I’ve been beaten to saying it)

I like to write Christian contemporary and fantasy too. I also like historical fiction.

what are your favorite books/movies?

I like music too. I’m guessing by your profile pic you play an instrument? I play piano and guitar. I LOVE music by…[Read more]

@skredder Hi!

@aislinn-mollisong Yes, it’s the one with the snake.  😀  But the snake isn’t really part of the plot, just part of the story.  I’m trying to make it like the old westerns except set in modern times.  It’s about a girl who goes out west to visit her uncle and aunt.  They actually live in the city, but she meets some young peop…[Read more]

@rochellaine I agree too. more conflict makes things more interesting *rubs hands together*

I’m in the USA too. 😊

@rochellaine I can’t bring myself to skip. IT GOES AGAINST EVERYTHING IN ME! I must write linearly, for some strange reason. *shrugs* What’s the plot of your western? Is it the one with the snake?

@princessfoo Cool! *high fives*

@jane-maree yay, thank you! that means a lot coming from you 😊

@nicoleriver03 That looks great!👍

Here’s a character collage for my main character, Rin Adachi:

@gh24682468999 lol, sometimes it’s just best to keep things private. ah, us writers are so misunderstood. 😉

@aislinn-mollisong I am just at that place in my western, too!  It’s awful.  Right now I’m doing a little bit of outlining, and I might just skip the hard part and write the next part, then come back to it later.

@rochellaine Still working on Embers Burning, (as it’s still my only major project) and I haven’t gotten far. I’ve sort of worked myself into a corner, as it were, because I know what needs to happen LATER, but I need to get past what’s happening NOW, and what’s happening now is rather tricky, yet important. (That statement is basically the last…[Read more]

Hey!  @aislinn-mollisong I’m working on my western, and chatting with @clairec about how – contrary to what most people here think – fantasy isn’t the only genre out there. 😀

What are you doing?

@clairec @rochellaine @dekreel @catwing @anyoneelse

Aislinn here! Wotcha doin’? I’m writing.

@clairec Okayyy, that sounds interesting.  I’m a real stickler for historical accuracy, but not so much historical events as culture.  I will freak out if someone wears a 1947 dress in 1943, or talks about an actress whose first movie was released six months later than the time in which the book was set, but if you want to add a few historical e…[Read more]

@clairec  Yes!  Everyone is so into fantasy now it seems all other genres are forgotten for young people!

I have read a little fantasy.  I liked the Chuck Black Kingdom  and Knights series okay a couple of years ago, and I love the Frank Peretti Cooper Kids series (which is only semi-fantasy).  Other than that, though I mostly read histori…[Read more]

@dekreel *blinks* Whoa, you’re right.

You know you’re a KaPeeFer (KeePer) when you paid attention to the etymology of the words KeePer and KaPeeFer and decide you are both a Kingdom Penner and a Kingdom Pen Fan. (Yes, there is a difference.)

You know you’re a KaPeeFer when you try to sneaky-sneak other KaPeeFers into your books. (Yes, I have a dragon named Snapper. And catwings. And…[Read more]

@dekreel  Yeah, I have a feeling I would be a sweet, well-meaning character who unintentionally ruins everyone’s plans because I would deal with things in a real-world way. 😀  That would be very annoying for fantasy believers, and could really mess up the cliched plot for them. *snickers*

I don’t know…if you act enough like a person I might f…[Read more]
