This isn’t exactly pertinent to the topic, but I read this quote today and found it really interesting. I wanted to share it as it totally relates to writing and creativity. You don’t have to guess the source, but make sure you check out @ethryndal‘s to guess hers! 🙂

Thank you @aratrea for your suggestion and for the article! One of the points in the article that particularly stood out to me, was remembering why you wanted to write the book in the first place. Sometimes over the frustration of figuring out how to write something I want and not what I don’t, I can forget why I wanted to write that particular…[Read more]

@ethryndal Yes! I didn’t know if that quote would be too obvious. As for your quote, I have no idea! 🙂

Great! Thank you!

Happy Guessing!

@jane-maree @audrey-caylin

Thank you both so much! I started writing a bit this evening and got an idea on changing a certain part where I now have more of a fresh perspective. I’m excited to continue and see how it goes! Thanks so much for your feedback! I’ll tag you if I have more questions!

Happy writing!

@dragon-snapper Is it from Disney’s animated version of Robin Hood (which has Robin Hood as a fox, and other characters as various other animals?) Robin Hood says it to Little John when they are up in the tree, right before they go to rob Prince John’s carriage.

I think Robin says after that quote, “We just sort of borrow a bit.” Little John…[Read more]

@his-instrument I would love to hear names meaning fire! I know Josiah means “the lord burns, the fire of the lord” and I have always loved that name. What are some that you have?

@jenali @dragon-snapper I totally agree! I really like J and L names for heroes. Lately I’ve been noticing that I have a lot of J & L names in my WIP…so I might need to pay a bit more attention to that. 🙂

Meanings of names are also SUPER important to me. I always look up any name I like for a character to see what it means first, because…[Read more]

@winter-rose Yes! I really enjoy hanging out with drama friends! My sister and I have done summer camps with the same drama teacher we have for the rest of the year, and they have been really fun! The camps are open to ages 11-19 and my favorite part of the camps is the ability to act with both older and younger kids (as the classes for the rest…[Read more]

@winter-rose Yes, I totally agree! I haven’t read them in a while either, but when I was younger they greatly inspired me in my writing, and helped grow my love for the Middle Ages! Yes, I have read some of the Knights of Arrethrtrae ones (though not in a long time). I didn’t really like them as much because they were more darker than the Kingdom…[Read more]

@daeus Thank you, that helps! I figured out that MC means “main character”. Someone else asked about character arc, so I was able to read and find out what that meant too.

Also I have a question which is open to anybody. I think I’ve seen the letters WIP come up in various places on the blog. What do they stand for? Thanks for the warm welcome! I’m excited to be a part of the Kingdom Pen community!

@graciegirl Thanks so much! I was anticipating that! 🙂 No, actually. Sir Malcolm and the Missing Prince is medieval but the other books are not. I have a couple other favorites that are medieval, though I am always on the lookout for other good, historical fiction books set in the Middle Ages. Thanks for the book recommendation! No, I haven’t…[Read more]
