@everyone OK, I’m signing off too. Did pretty well. See you tomorrow, I hope.

Um…maybe I shouldn’t say this and don’t take it as an absolute that is going to happen, but on the retreat we actually did put it in the plan to host a nationwide KP conference at a time in the future which I should probably not reveal lest we not be able to meet the deadline. Very likely though, it will become…[Read more]

@winter-rose I can excuse myself by saying I’ve spent the last three days at Josiah’s house with a lot of other people from the KP staff. I hope you won’t melt me for saying KeePers are even more wonderful in person than online. Seriously. We’ve got a great staff.

@dragon-snapper @that_writer_girl_99 @winter-rose I’ll join you till nine.

@jess-penrose I like the irony of the MC realizing that he deserves justice as well. Is there a way you could bring about a physical component for the MC’s poetic justice as well? That seems to be the main thing you’re missing.

I like the nuanced version of #4 here–it resolves the potential issues I was seeing with it in the other topic.

@ethryndal Good observation there. I think that’s generally true of the more prominent foil characters in literature, although you get pretty good diversity on whether the foils are right or not when you start looking at less prominent foils in literature.

@ethryndal Sounds like some good adjustments to make on the thematic front. How would you say Lotch and Noyarc would answer your story’s focusing question? It looks like their EiLs are pretty close to functioning as answers to that question (especially Lotch’s), but Noyarc’s may need a couple small adjustments to fully answer that.

@jess-penrose Yes–it’s very freeing as an author to know that you can write about meaningful topics in a powerful way in a way that isn’t preachy to the audience. Hold that goal and that anti-goal in mind, and both should be powerful motivators for you to study and master themes!

Sorry I’m late on interacting with you all on this! The KP staff had a work retreat this weekend and I fell behind on keeping up with these…

@dragon-snapper

My biggest recommendation would be to consider the different ways Christians might honestly answer that focusing question in the way they live their lives. While most Christians may know…[Read more]

@jess-penrose Great motives! Sounds like you’ll especially enjoy one of the last lessons in the course on how to write explicitly Christian fiction in particular. Most of the course will focus on how to write meaningful stories from a Christian perspective effectively, but that lesson will particularly focus on writing in the “Christian fiction…[Read more]

Welcome to the site @lifeofkatie! Congrats on being roped in by some of our most enthusiastic forum members. 😉 Haven’t read any Spurgeon yet, but he’s on my list of theologians to read!

Late to the party, but welcome to the site, @jess-penrose! Glad to have you here with us. 🙂

Brie wakes up with a Jerk and almost falls off the wall she’d been sitting one. She glances around and when no one is in sight she sprints inside.
Upon reaching the the volley ball court she slows down and sneaks in along the wall. Hopefully no one will nice how late she was.

Sorry for going AWOL.

@delightinlife Yep. 🙂 No date set yet, but I believe I’ll plan to reach out to people we want to be on the panel this week and then the panel will probably happen something like two weeks later.

@daeus My hope is that we’ll be able to print low cost (smaller and B&W). 🙂 Lower cost=more to print at same cost=more printed=more people hearing about Kingdom Pen!

I like this idea. We do already have a KP flyer, but a smaller version might be nice.

@dragon-snapper Well, I pretty much just stick to editing, but I might work on the next book a bit. That’s probably more of a J thing, but it doesn’t have to be so.

@dragon-snapper Do tell.
