Yup… that’s how it works. I suppose we have to learn to accept it. It is what it is. That’s the way of the world. It’s no use crying over spilt milk. If wishes were horses… (or actors, as the case may be).

What— philosophy doesn’t help?

You wrote a book from the POV of a house? Wow! Cool! How did that work out for you? Was it any more difficult than just a regular first person narration?

Oh thanks Mark. You’re so encouraging… so helpful… so wonderfully sympathetic. I just— I don’t know how to thank you. 😛 😛 😛 😉

Candy only goes so far, huh? Hm. I wonder why. 😀

*sighs, drops head in hand and shakes it sadly, tears come to sorrowful brown eyes* I guess it’s just a question of figuring out how to motivate people. Aside…[Read more]

Welcome! I hope you enjoy it here!

And I fail to see how having lived in both China and Colorado is boring. 😛

Yes…if the person wants to act, it will be easier on everyone. Motivation is the key; get them to want to do what you want them to do, but for reasons which benefit them and which they like (if that made any sense). Candy only goes so far…though I’ve yet to figure out the motivational question myself. If you figure out something, let me know. 🙂

Hi Alia!

Glad to have you on the forum! Keep up the writing! Sometimes it seems like the book will never be finished, but then one day, even sometimes a few years down the road, you find yourself writing The End. It’s one of the greatest feelings in the whole author world!

Hi Elisabeth!
I’m glad you stopped back in to see what was going on here at Kingdom Pen! It’s been a busy place! Oh and let us know when your novel is published! I’d love to check it out!

Welcome! And if you’ve been to the last three Oyan workshops, does that mean we were at the same one? Ordinary Heroes?

Welcome, Elisabeth! So glad to have you here. You may or may not be aware that most writers are insane, but I’ve taken it upon myself to warn every new forum-er of that fact, and so spare them a very rude awakening when they actually start interacting with all us nutcases on here. So… we’re insane.

But then… I’ve heard that OYAN isn’t…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum Elisabeth. Tell us more about your book. What types of writing interest you the most?

I’ve read almost all of Frank Peretti’s books, and really like them. I’ll have to check out Dragons in our Midst…the title of the series sound promising. 🙂

Doctor Who! And I love Lord of the Rings. Also, welcome to the forum. 🙂

🙂 It’s Frank Peretti. I’ve not read either of those series. What are they about, and what do you like about them?

@mark-kamibaya— AGGGH! But—but—b-b-but but I’m the only one in my family who likes to act! 😛 If I’m holding the camera, who will be Romeo? Okay, I’m actually never doing that role again, because I hate him anyway. It was a school project, which is why I did it. 😛

Also, we live out in the middle of nowhere, and our closest friends are at…[Read more]

Greetings, Alia! Welcome to the Kingdom Pen forum! I also am a homeschooler. I think most of us here are. 🙂
Well… LoTR is my number one favorite story ever, but I haven’t read the Wormling series. What… is it, exactly? Fantasy, Scifi, what?

Well, I haven’t seen Doctor Who, but I have seen Star Wars, and I can tell you right now Star Wars is…[Read more]

Hmm, I’ve never done much along the way of teaching acting. It was more ‘try to speak up so I can hear you’. I am a pretty bad actor myself and have need my sister’s help at times, even when I am the director. Normally though, I’d say teach by example. Meaning, if there’s a way you want the person to act in the scene, go though the actions and…[Read more]

Hahahahaha! Oh, lovely, Ezra, lovely! What about your middle name? That didn’t get a place on the list?

I got it to work! Thanks! Not comments, but highlighted text, so your document will be coming back to you full of red holes, Hope. 😛

Okay. That’s a good way to look at it, Daeus. I like that.

@David— Exactly! Government is instituted by God for the protection of the people. It is a blessing. It is something we should cherish and obey.
But… those verses speak generally of government— the concept of government, of being governed, if you will. They speak of government AS…[Read more]
