Ah those situations are so painful.

@lydia-s

I am so sorry, I almost forgot KP (of no fault of it’s own; life is still nuts).

I have read/listened to all but Lady Susan, Love and Friendship, and I think one other one. I read Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice,  Sense and Sense ability, and Mansfield Park. I listened to most of those and Emma, Northanger Abbey, and… I think that’s…[Read more]

Okay, @faith-q, I have a story for you. Let me tell you of the time I knocked a container with a dozen cupcakes in it on top of a ladies head.

It was my older sister’s birthday. She and I were flying up to Washington state for one of our cousins graduation. My mom, who is a baker, made my sister some cupcakes to take with her on the flight. Well,…[Read more]

I love it when two very powerful (but also very different) soldiers are close friend. “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13

“And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own…[Read more]

@faith-q

WOooOo Imma love this topic XD

I have a few, as it does indeed come from being slightly sheltered that one may say something not as innocent as they thought.

For example, I was texting this friend I had (not too long ago) and we were talking about life and stress and work stuff. And I asked if he was working all the weeknights.…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Thanks for the reassurance. Yes, it’s epic fantasy. I have listened to some of Brandon Sanderson’s stuff, and he does do well writing larger groups.

I have around 4-8 “important” characters, and maybe 2 main characters. The cliffhanger advice is good, thanks!

An animal character! All of my characters are a…[Read more]

@madelyn

Sorry I’m so late in replying. Life is nuts.

That sounds AWESOME! I love good farytales and retellings, some of my favorite authors being George MacDonald, C. S. Lewis, Gail Carson Levine, and Hans Christian Andersen. (Or at least some of his stuff)

I would definitely appreciate a retelling of Rumplestiltskin, especially as that story…[Read more]

@faith-q

We’ll, right now I can’t think of many actually funny stories which would make sense out of context, which is annoying as I know of many.

Err… I just reread your request, and realized you wanted stuff from age 4 and 7… Sorry 😬

Oh, something that might be interested is that I like to climb things, but am scared of heights, and I like exploring caves and other tight places, but can easily get claustrophobic, in which case I WANT OUT RIGHT NOW!

@faith-q

Well. . . let’s see 🤔. Do I have any good stories? There was that time at church (I was maybe 10-12) when I was helping the teacher (my mom) with a lesson. The theme for that quarter was like wild west, and we had WANTED posters for “people” (Rebellion, Laziness, Hate, Ect.) I was supposed to play the part of the outlaw Rebellion. I was…[Read more]

Pirate talk,
Ahoy there! Ye lilly livered, scurvy ridden, bilge rats! Ye landlubbers will address me as Cappan! an If ye think ye rapscallions to be to high and mighty to address me as such, well, me and by bucko will give you a checkered shirt with a dirty cat o’ nine tails, then lock ye up in the brigg fer a week, after which, if we feels like…[Read more]

@karissa-chmil

Thank you 🙂

@elishavet-pidyon

Ah, yes. A skill our younger selves painfully possess. XD

@godlyfantasy12

Oh, those are so good! What great characters.

So @karissa-chmil I don’t know if this qualifies as very short bits of our books, but here are some excerpts from a conversation between Braxton Redoak and Destiny . . . (I don’t have a last name for her.) They are both foxes.

(Spoken by Braxton)

“You have it wrong. Not ‘join our cause’. It’s no longer ours. It’s only yours.” He lifted up before…[Read more]

@jasmine-godby

Hi! I wasn’t even here when you first appeared so I didn’t get to drive the newbie crazy welcome you to KP! So, I suppose I will welcome you back for reappearing. Welcome back! And to celebrate the occasion, here *Holds out sword 🗡️* let’s have a duel! If you don’t know how to use a sword, well. . . all the better for me! (I’ll…[Read more]

ty for the reminder!

@karissa-chmil

Oh, I like these a lot. The personality really stands out.

These are quotes from a younger character of mine. But I wrote his character quite a while ago.

“Mr. Jeremy Sir, you must come with us.”

“Oh yea, the Ma’am said that unless you got back soon, the city would pare. Ooh, is that an owl? What’s his name?…

I hope that wasn’t confusing.

@lana-blanchard

By a strong church I mean one where God can move unhindered, the people are unified as the body of Christ, and the pastor preaches the Word and the congregation backs him.

We do actively worship if that’s what you mean. We dance before the LORD in praise, but nothing such as Jewish ring dancing or stuff like that.

My favorite…[Read more]

@lydia-s

Ah yes, Wentworth’s letter. That scene (besides Louisa’s fall) is probably one of my favorite in the book. And I usually don’t enjoy romance books…
