@ethryndal I’ve been watching Lord of the Rings lately, and whenever I see Galadriel, I expect her to say something sarcastic… XD

Oookay, that’s a lot to catch up on. XD
@introvert_girl Right. The emotions in my character should be strengthening them… I’ll try to keep that in mind…
@ethryndal This is for the third book in the trilogy, so I can understand why you’re not seeing it. I think one of the problems might be that I’m focusing too much on characters and not…[Read more]

Hi all!
Some of you may have noticed I haven’t been around much lately. I just wanted to let you know I haven’t been ignoring you. A lot of changes have been happening lately and I hate to say this, but I’m afraid I must…I guess what I’m trying to say is…goodbye. 😢 Y’all have been the bestistiest and I’ll miss every one of you sorely, and…[Read more]

I was just thinking about you earlier today. *sniff* But I think you’ve got the right perspective; God does know what’s best, even if it doesn’t make sense at the time. Or if, yeah, change isn’t the most comfy thing on earth.
Thank you for being such a great kapeefer! 😀 *offers Aberdeen a rough draft full of delicious adverbs*
@mariposa-
@dragon-snapper Aw, thanks. *Aberdeen eats adverbs* Me and him will never forget you, dear Snapper.

@mariposa aw, we’ll miss you lots! *reaches for tissue* but I appreciate that you’re going in the direction you think God is taking you 🙂 I’ll definitely keep following your blog!
-
@jenwriter17 I can’t begin to tell you how encouraging your comments have been to me. Thank you for always being so sweet and wonderful. 🙂
-
@mariposa I really do enjoy your blog and your artwork is amazing! It’s inspiring me to keep drawing too 🙂 sorry I haven’t been as active on commenting though, life is just busy right now.

@mariposa, Oh no!!!!! I’m going to miss you!
Thank you for the input you’ve had here.
I’ll be following you blog too.
May God bless you in whatever He has in store for you. 🙂-
@clairec Thank you. It means a lot to know you’re reading my blog. I will miss you too. 😢
-
-
Shucks, I’m gonna miss you around here. Ah well, God knows best. I can’t wait for you to find out where He’s taking you. So long for now, my friend. You’ve been a wonderful addition to our Keeper circle, and we’re going to be sorely lacking in bright colors and dinosaurs without you. 💕
I’ll be keeping up to date on all your platforms. 🙂
-
@ethryndal The feeling is mutual. *sniff* Why do you guys have to be so amazing? That’s what makes this goodbye all the harder.
-
That, my friend, is EXACTLY the point. It’s the safety measures we take to make sure as few people leave us as possible. 😉

*hugs you tightly* I’m so sorry to see you go, lovely girl 🙁 You’ve been a wonderful addition to the team, as well as an incredible encourager and friend. Can I have the link to your blog? You’re not getting rid of me that easily.💕

@cindygreen *hugs you back while sniffling* Thank you for your very kind, sweet words, Cindy. You’ve inspired me ever since I read your first KP poem. ❤️
Of course! Here it is: https://www.thetinytealtypewriter.com I may be taking a break from it for a short time as I mull over some new ideas. Also, I’ll be hanging out at Story Embers and hel…[Read more]

@winter-rose Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. 💜 I’m glad God gave me the opportunity to meet people like you.

Alrighty, guys…
I could use some help on this front. I’ve learned pretty well over the past few months how to show and not tell, but I actually am using that too much.
Don’t get me wrong. Always show over tell, but my problem is that I’m focusing way too much on the emotion. And Ike… Zelaya, they’ve all gone dismal.

Hullo peeps, I have a message from our historic forum doctor, @BlueJay, whom many of you remember but I can’t remember everyone who remembers her plus I’m only allowed ten tags so feel free to tag other people if you want. 😉
I email with her sometimes, hence the message. She says to tell you the forum doctor’s on vacation, and enjoying the hot…[Read more]-
Also, @BlueJay said she’s been having a deficit of good ideas for writing lately, and if any of you have any spare good ideas she’d love them. She still gets emails when she’s tagged. Anything’s welcome, but especially ones more on the cute short story side of things. So just in case. 😉
-
Thanks for tagging me, Emma. How is she doing? I think about her sometimes (and wonder if she ever got my edits for her Golden Conch story?). Tell her hi for me! *waves*
-
Oh, you edited The Golden Conch too? I didn’t know that. That’s a fun one. 😀 I can ask her if she ever got the edits.
Yeah, I couldn’t remember for sure if you were around when she was but I was pretty sure. 😉
She’s doing well, as far as I know… She recently won best film/best actress awards for a short film she made for a film festival, so…[Read more]-
Noice! Do you know if she’ll be coming back to Kingdom Pen sometime?

I don’t know. She said she’d love to sometime, but I don’t really know much about it. We can hope. 😉

Yep. 🙂

Here, her reply to you:
‘ I think so, but I will have to check. I’m still working on it, so if you want to send them through again, I’ll probably still use them. ‘-
Okay, I will probably do that. 😉

@emma-flournoy BlueJay is Australian?! Huh! I didn’t know that…
Anyway, now that I know that she still gets emails… Can I pass a message to her?Hiya, @bluejay! I’m Dekreel! 😀 We haven’t met yet, but I am aware of the circumstances, so oddly enough, I miss you! XD So, when you return, expect a greeting from me like we’d always known each…[Read more]

Thanks Dekreel. *grins* I’m sure she’s loving your enthusiastic response. Thanks for the story ideas too. 😉 I don’t know what she thinks of any of them, but if she says anything about ’em I’ll pass it on. 😉

BlueJay says ‘can’t wait until I get to meet you properly. ‘
😀
-
-
Oh, that’s great @emma-flounoy! She was the first person to welcome me, and one of the best friends I’ve ever had here. Please say hi from me, and that I miss her. 🙂 Also I’m glad she’s enjoying the hot weather, ’cause I’m not. 😛
-
-
Heh, I don’t enjoy hot weather either. XD Happily for us it won’t be Summer for quite a bit yet over here.
I’ll definitely tell her. 😀-
Thanks, girl. 😉 @emma-flournoy
-
She says: ‘ I’m missing you too. I’d be happy to email with you if you want. ‘ 😉
-
Oh good! We were going to exchange emails when she was here, but my mum was ‘thinking about it’ and we missed the opportunitiy. I’ll ask her again. 🙂 @bluejay @emma-flournoy

Great!

Sure thing, I will. 😀 Thanks.

Woah. Um, @bluejay, I think @dragon-snapper just gave you the highest compliment possible for her to give.
An unmelted chair, AND phone, AND chocolate! Impressive! -
Yeah, impressive. XD O.K., her message to you, Snapper:
@dragon-snapper *sinks gratefully into chair and types message on phone while eating chocolate* it’s a good life.
I really like the idea about the guide dog from it’s perspective.
I shall have to think about the pizza idea for a bit. 🙂

@Winter-Rose From BlueJay: ‘I like your ideas. Very cute. ‘

Aww, I was just thinking about her the other day. She was the first one who welcomed me when I came on here as a scared little elfling, and it was the warmest greeting ever. Say hello for me. We miss her.

No I didn’t write a book about a detective animal.

We went through all the Star Wars(es? Gollum-speak, maybe…) before TLJ too, except Rogue One since it didn’t HAVE to be seen before TLJ. So we just finally got around to watching it.

*chokes* INFP? HA! That’s hilarious. I don’t think I would have guessed that for Krennnic. I can see it with Bohdi, though he always hit me as more of an E. Honestly, RO characters are really hard to type. Maybe because we don’t get to know them as well as other movie characters? I…[Read more]

Yeah, yeah, don’t get used to it. Sometimes INTJs have an identity crisis. It takes them all of 0.05 seconds to remember who they are and that they don’t hug people.

True, very true. And no matter how many names you may have, you will always be a Kid as well. 😀
(And yes, your elvish is mostly correct. Mellon actually has two ‘L’s, but I’ll overlook it THIS ONCE… 😛 See how merciful I am?)
