Congratulations! Two-hundred pages is a HUGE milestone!

Thank you all for your thoughts! They were quite helpful!

I am busy writing my Senior Thesis (hence why I have not been very active on KP recently), and since it centres around writing and calling, I thought “What better place to garner ideas than KP?”

My thesis has had… uh… a lot of changes since its original form. For reference, its original form was (basically) “Literature is…[Read more]

That is an awesome dragon. Such design and detail! I would frame it.

First of all, sorry for the late reply. I haven’t been on KP much this week… Second of all, I love your parody lyrics! I can definitely appreciate them.
Oof, music. I listen to a wide variety of music, from orchestral music, to rock, to musicals, to bluegrass, et cetera. (When I say bluegrass I mean the gos…[Read more]

Wow… from what I know of you so far, it seems that we are kindred spirits. Whovians, dragon-lovers, veggie-tale-veterans, old souls, artists,  writers, Christians, The Princess Bride lovers, Narnia lovers… I could go on.

Meatlug is adorable! Valka’s dragon (is it Cloudhopper?) is also pretty cool, but rather large.

Are you home…[Read more]

Nice job! I like those designs. Now, what is the story of these villains?

Thank you!

I just remembered a song I like to listen to during rough times. It is called I Will, and it is by Citizen Way.

Great job on forcing yourself to write! I’ve been trying to write a little bit every day… I’ve written maybe once sentence in the past week.

And thank you for the compliment! 😊

@thearcaneaxiom

Wow! Your ether worldbuilding is quite developed! My ideas are still steeping…

@freedomwriter76

Soooooo true.

Hmm… do you find it slightly worrying that most of us writers have a procrastination problem? How will I ever finish my book?

I am glad you asked. I gathered inspiration from more classical scientific ideas, namely “ether”. People used to believe that space was full of this energy-stuff. So, dragons are a sort of life form that can be sustained by ether.
My story is centred in a certain kingdom. It is a sort of feudal system with multiple moons orb…[Read more]

Yes… I am such a terrible procrastinator. Actually, if you think about it, I am very good at procrastinating. I am the bane of my own creative existence.

Thank you!

That white creature is a dragon that I didn’t bother doing any details on…

Do you also wish to find a TARDIS?

Why, thank you! *blushes*

Usually I don’t have the patience to spend a lot of time on a piece of art, but I’m working on that because I find that if I ACTUALLY SPEND TIME ON IT, then I am  happier with the result.

This piece is inspired by my space-fantasy world. I did it a couple weeks ago during youth group.

Hmmm… I know that if I don’t tag anyone, not many will see it. Well, then: @freedomwriter76 @godlyfantasy12 @mineralizedwritings @thearcaneaxiom @keilah-h @sarahsmile @emilysf @loopylin @thelooneyone @lightoverdarkness6 @whalekeeper [Read more]

I just caught up on the thread a bit, and I am here to give you a virtual hug. *gives you a hug*

I know about hard times, but I really don’t know what to say. (I’m not that great at talking.) So, just know this. God is constant, and my heart is reaching out to you, and I’m sure that I am not the only one here with that senti…[Read more]

I would want a Time Machine too (hence my forum picture). I would also want a dragon… Oh, I LOVE apple cider! (Why did I forget to add that to the question?)

I have also read all of the Anne books… they were a part of a “phase” I had where I also read all of the Laura Ingals-Wilder books and the Little Women books… then I read a lo…[Read more]

I think starting writing clubs is a brilliant idea! I have thoughts, but they’re still cooking.

Hello there!  E. M. Trepke, at your service. (I guess you could call me Em) *bows dramatically* Welcome to the Kingdom of Pen.
I am a Christian Homeschooler who has an old soul in a young body. Old stuff just has so much character. I am also a VeggieTales veteran (much to my grandmother’s dismay), and happen to love dragons with a…[Read more]

Hello! I am E. M. Trepke (I guess you could call me Em sometimes?) I am also a Christian Homeschooler, but I am also a Canadian.
You enjoy mysteries? Have you read any of Agatha Christie’s then?

Now for some random questions:

1) Coffee, tea, or hot cocoa?

2) Dogs or cats?

3) If you could choose any fictional person or thing to b…[Read more]

@lightoverdarkness6

I once found most of the show (the Last Airbender) on YouTube before, so you could check there.

I just looked into it, and it looks like you can find half of season 1, but everything else looks pretty sketchy on youtube. Do you know a particular channel that might have it?

I remember that I was watching season…[Read more]

I think that with Race to the Edge it was mostly surprising in how certain side characters actually had arcs (especially nowadays). It was also really cool how any developments in the show were used in the following movie— it actually tied in to the overall plot. And that was a level of thought that isn’t usually put in to spin…[Read more]

Wow… all this fourth dimension stuff is extremely difficult for tiny human minds to comprehend. *my Martian doppelgänger chuckles from across the room*

@mineralizedwritings

I like mold. (Not if it’s on my food, but I think it is really cool otherwise.) One of my dream stories to write in the future is set in a world full of gian…[Read more]

Wow… that is complex, but really quite awesome. What is the fourth dimension in your world? After reading The Time Machine, I always viewed the fourth dimension as time…. Or would something from the fourth dimension be like a tesseract?
I am  thoroughly intrigued by your world. 🙂

You do Classical Conversations? Which level? I joined in Challenge II and am now in Challenge IV— one of the first Ch IV classes in my country, if I may add.

Math is…. Fun? Sometimes. I have a bit of a love-hate relationship in math. I prefer other sorts of brain puzzles. I am also ridiculously behind in physics.

If they’re comfortable and open, it would be wonderful to get their insights and understanding for an article on the subject!

I’ve heard from Autistic people online that autism is often misconstrued in media like books and movies. It’s one of many topics that a simple google search isn’t enough for. So if they are cool with it, an…

[Read more]

And yes! It would be awesome if a writer who is or is close with someone who is autistic could publish an article on how to write an autistics characters accurately.

Maybe I could try? It would be difficult as the autistic person I’m closeish to has RAD as well. (Hence the -ish)

Earl grey is possibly the best beverage to be made by mankind.

Wow! That sister sounds a lot like one of my characters in one of my stories.

Thank you! And yes, please let me know.

Cool ideas you have so far!!

I read that bit in Yoda’s voice. “Mmm! Cool ideas you have.”

So many people to keep track of! What are your thoughts?

What do you think of “The Plasmic Dragon”?

Whimsey, space, dragons, and eccentricity pretty much describe me in a nutshell. Also cheese. I just need a good name right now. So far I have considered: Shall We Mosey? A Hint of Madness…. *sigh*

It’s hard to keep track of everyone.

The problem with calling it YA is that lots of younger people do read it. Also, many of the readers do not have the frame of reference that we do.

I agree with you about the plot. The worldbuilding was fantastic, too. I just loved the idea of a hidden world in our own. I also liked the whimsey of it.

Hullo, and welcome to the Kingdom of Pen! It’s fantastic that you have been working on your novel consistently. I personally seem to be stagnating in the world-building stage. I don’t think I’ll even understand my story until I finish the Epic History™ of my world. In the meantime I have just decided to write a space-fantasy with…[Read more]

The TARDIS is actually from  a tv show called Dr Who that started in the ‘60s.

@lightoverdarkness6 @keilah-h @freedomwriter76 @loopylin @theloonyone @mineralizedwritings @whoeverIforgot

I won’t be able to be on KP this weekend. Just wanted to let you know.

My answers to the questions I gave you:

1. DMRSTN

2. Me neither.

3. Sometimes I wish…

4. I wish. I haven’t heard of a novabox… is it mind-control related? Can I find the AIO episode on the internet?

5. I don’t know… it was a phrase very important in the Christopher Eccleston season of Dr Who, and now it’s following me.

6. I h…[Read more]

I only joined this past spring… I can relate to stalking KP. I’ve been old enough to join for a while, but KP wouldn’t let me join until spring. I don’t know why. My pfp is actually a spaceship/ time machine call the TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Space).

I just noticed the time you posted and thought “that’s…[Read more]

Now, what about yourself?

Smack. His vision went blurry (not that he could tell with his hood over his face). He struggled to move, to move his hood, to see. He couldn’t. Thankfully the hand of some unknown person lifted his hood. And there he was, crushed by a pile of people, most of which he didn’t even know were in the hall. All…[Read more]

“Hey!” Another voice yelled before the girl in front of him could reply. “Do you have any food?”

He turned to see yet another girl coming towards him… and a door some distance behind her. She didn’t seem to be affected by the gale. Strange. “N…[Read more]
