@reaganramm

Currently I write a lot of Biblical topics since my essays are school related. I love them but also don’t since there’s the added stress of a grade to contend with. I also write the occasional Chesterton/Lewis style short essay-rant on whatever is on my mind. Usually art, absolute truth, or the beauty of writing true fiction.

Ah.…[Read more]

@elanor

Hey! It’s been a long time since I aaw you around. How are you?

*reads poem*

That’s lovely. While I can’t relate in the way it seems to be written, it still reaonates.

@bilbo-baggins

Whenever I chose names for my characters, I like to focus on the meaning. I pick something I like about the character (like a value or personality trait) then go from there.

Woah. A Bilbo secret 😲 This is a good start.

@stellybean

This is cool! I don’t really have any input, as I also use some of the methods others have listed 😆…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

It’s so weird not knowing everyone. It’s been the same people on here for almost 4 years and it feels so weird to introduce myself lol

@savannah_grace2009

Heck yes, it’s overstimulating. Hopefully it will calm down and everyone will settle! Or we’ll get used to it, I suppose. Either way, I’m thankful because the site was beginning to look desolate.

@quarterstaffgirl

*Comes in, closes the door behind me, and crashes on the nearest beanbag* Undeniably yes. It’s my comfort series. Who is your favorite character, what is your favorite book, why do you like the series, and do you have any other opinions you wish to report?

@whalekeeper

Yeah, I opened my email and I was like WHATTT

And I logged onto Kingdom Pen and it’s very overstimulating 😭 I will get used to it I guess but wow it’s crazy

@elishavet-pidyon

You are very welcome

@savannah_grace2009

Heeyyyyy, so uh… yeah, things are a little chaotic at the present. It hasn’t been happening for long! I believe we started getting new members on Monday? Not sure. We are all alive, some of us just barely. We were used to the quieter pace and now things are changing. This place is busy again. :]

@reaganramm

OH MY WORD YOU’RE ALIVE

I’m Sara! I’ve been on here for about 4 years, but the last two years I haven’t been very active. I currently open KP once like every two months lol

I’ve also been working on the same novel since my freshman year (now I’m a senior) and I have yet to finish a single draft. Just ask the other people on here, I…[Read more]

@liberty

I’m so sorry to hear that. I know what it’s like to have a parent fighting cancer. I don’t know what it’s like for you, but I’m willing to listen if you ever need to talk! I’m not super active on here but if you tag me I’ll reply when I can!!

GUYS WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper you guys are WHAT NOW???

And the KP people are ALIVE?!?!

I’ve been gone for so long lol I need to catch up hahahahaha

@quarterstaffgirl

I would kind of like to be siblings with the Wingfeathers (tho that would throw off the entire plot), or Kate from Mysterious Benedict Society. Those come to mind first.

*Peeks at this conversation through a crack in the door*

Are you… a big fan of Mysterious Benedict Society?

@esther-c @jonas @whalekeeper @keilah-h

After much thought (and casually disappearing again) I have decided what I want to do.

I’m still working on developing the plotline, as it has changed a lot.

I’m not sure if I’ll ever finish this story because I change it so much, but I honestly just write for fun so I guess if it’s fun, I should be…[Read more]

@quarterstaffgirl

You’re welcome! Our brains need room to breathe and generate ideas without rules. Sometimes we cause our problems by putting too many walls around ourselves, hehe.

Hello hello! I’m so glad you’ve gotten on KP at last!

I’m Ellette! I’m an author if fantasy, dystopian, and Historical fiction for middle grade, YA, and adults. I am also the owner of a publishing company, a content editor, and an artist/graphic designer.

What are some of your top favorite books?

If you could pick to spend a week with on…[Read more]

@quarterstaffgirl

Sparing and a bit of staff, nun-chucks scare me, as does the flail, lol. Guns and knives of course. Also ninja stars and other throwing weapons. Bow and arrow, crossbow. I’d like to do long-bow but I have never met a girl who could fully draw a longbow. Those things are insane. my brother uses one though.

@liskaboyce

You literally just answered the question I’ve been asking myself: why have I never finished first drafts? It’s because the middle of my book always feels forced!!!

There you have it! When I talk with people, either about my own work or theirs, that section in between the inciting incident and the midpoint is almost always the pro…[Read more]

@reaganramm

This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

@quarterstaffgirl
Oh? I shall be interested in hearing how it goes!

That’s why I want to learn it! My twin sister plays the violin, so we’ve been conspiring to get a mandolin for a while.
