You know you’re a Kapeefer when you go to the library and see a book called Keeper and you think to yourself, “They spelled Kapeefer wrong.”

ClaireC started the topic I'm back!! in the forum Start HERE 8 years, 6 months ago
Well, hello, Kapeefers!
Yes, I know it’s been a long time since I’ve been here, but I’m now back!
Wow! There are a lot of new people here! I nearly feel like I need to introduce myself again…but it takes too long, so I’ll just say… Hi!
I’ve taken a long break from my writing, as I simply had too much on, but I’m back into it now, which is…[Read more]

LivGiordano replied to the topic How do we define "worth" when there is no actual God figure in the story? in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 8 years, 6 months ago
Hmm…it is a fantasy story, for one. I’m not sure how that could be incorporated, but I’m definitely open to the possibility of God actually being there.
This is all really good to think through though. Would it help to read the story? Idk. Only if you want to.

Oh wow, thank you so much! This is actually really encouraging.
If you never mention God, you could take this whole redemption idea and put it into the life of some people. Maybe Person A struggles with a lot of self-worth issues, but then Person B does this amazing, almost irrational self-sacrifice for them, which gets Person A to thinking about…

This is really tough, and a big question for me. But how do I write a story with theme of worth, when God is not a big aspect of the story?
This is especially difficult, because I know that all true worth and value is found in HIM. So how do I write this story, about someone finding out what defines true worth, when God’s name is never mentioned?…[Read more]

@waterlily Cool! I’m definitely going to have to check them out now.
@SeekJustice for the most part, the things that were kind of mature in the book weren’t really in the TV series, so that was nice. If you’re wanting to watch it. 🙂
@jenwriter17 Ohh yay, another Chuck Black fan! YES, I love Wars of the Realm! They’re all so awesome, and really…[Read more]

@rochellaine Thanks for your input! About #3, I plan on setting that in the USA. I’ll have to think more about how the government would combat internet access to Bibles…..

Jenna Terese replied to the topic Hey Everyone! in the forum Start HERE 8 years, 6 months ago
@livgiordano I LOVE Chuck Black’s books too! Have you read his latest trilogy?
That’s so cool you were able to be at your little sister’s birth! I actually know two other people who are into midwifery, one of them is on KP, though her name escapes me.
I always thought doing things with hair was cool too. Sadly, my hair type (3b/3c), is kinda…[Read more]

@seekjustice Thank you! Yeah, I actually thought it was pretty cool. *nods* Yeah, the book was a little heavy for me too, but not overly so. If it was just a tad more, I probably would’ve quit. 😉 I’m also not a fan of Christie’s rebellious character, and how she acts very familiar with both David and Neil. But at the same time, we watched these…[Read more]

LivGiordano replied to the topic Be in Our Newsletter!! in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 6 months ago
Okay…*takes a deep breath* *thinks hard* There should be something I can share.
Let everything inspire you:
As a writer, I observe things. Like everything. Whether it be how the the streetlight catches the glimmer of the puddles, or what it feels like to be literally freezing, longing for a warm house to step inside of. It’s amazing how much…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99 Thank you!
@supermonkey42 Thank you! I’m glad it sounds original, and I really hope it is. 😉
@jenwriter17 Thanks for the welcome! I can tell that I’m really going to love it here. 🙂 I love all of Chuck Black’s books, the Ilyon Chronicles, and Lord of the Rings. My favorite genre is fantasy, though I also really enjoy…[Read more]

@livigiordano Welcome fellow homeschooler! KP is awesome!
What are your favorite books/genres/authors? Do you have other hobbies outside of writing?

@radically-surrendered, yes, I think he does become a Christian, or close to it in the book. And his wife actually died a long time before Christie came in childbirth. So that whole element isn’t there.
@mariposa Nice to meet both of you! I love making earrings, and I make cards…sometimes. I love to read, and play the piano. And I love doing…[Read more]

LivGiordano replied to the topic Hey Everyone! in the forum Start HERE 8 years, 6 months ago
*nods* Yeah, those episodes I would count as some of the older, better ones. We’ve watched the whole series. 😉 Both Adam and Albert are pretty cool. But in the final episodes, it isn’t even about the Ingalls anymore. Sadly. It’s mostly about Laura and Almanzo.
Oh, have you gotten to when Nellie gets married? Those ones were pretty funny, with…[Read more]

LivGiordano replied to the topic Hey Everyone! in the forum Start HERE 8 years, 6 months ago
Oh sheesh. That’s hard. I would have to say team David. But they’re both awesome. *whispers* I read the book, just because after that final episode, I NEEDED to know who she ended up with. That was the most horrible ending every. *sobs* Anyway…have you read the book? It’s actually pretty similar. And she didn’t end up with who I expected her to.
