Whenever I work on Russian long enough I start thinking in Cyrillic, giving me a heavy Russian accent in English. Does something like that happen to you?

I know what you mean! I’ll be learning about which Polish letters make what sound and suddenly I start rolling my r’s in English and pronouncing my i’s like “ee”. 🙂 The Russian accent is…[Read more]

@theloonyone

Hey! Thanks for the welcome! My trilogy is my first real dabbling in fantasy so there are tons of cliches and tropes I have to fix but the overall theme is good, I think. 🙂 Here’s s quick synopsis:

Lana has lived in Wilson Falls for all of her twelve years, enjoying everything a close community of farming families brings. She’s…[Read more]

@erica

Thanks for starting this topic! No kidding, I was thinking about something like this myself! 🙂

Praise the Lord for healing you and your family!

@everyone

I’m thankful for hope. The Bible says that hope is an anchor for our souls, sure and steadfast. We all know the uncertainty of life and how things can change and become unstable very…[Read more]

I like your signature! Very true and encouraging.[/quote]

Thanks! It’s from one of my favorite authors, Bess Aldrich. I thought it was pretty relevant for the times we live in.

I stole it from Arwen . . . in “The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen” which is in the back of The Return of the King, I believe.

Yes! I “remember” now. At leas…[Read more]

AGH!!! I never sent in my reply!

You’re fine! 🙂

(English is such a confusing language, even for a native speaker. I can’t help but feel sorry for those speaking ESL. Seriously…)

I know, right? My Mom tells me to be grateful that I don’t have to learn it as a SL.

As for me Russian has turned out not quite as hard as I thought it would be,…

🤣 Good thing your dad is a good cook! just kidding! That’s a fun memory and a great conversation starter!

@mineralizedwritings

I think squids are cool. (and yummy 😳, poor squidy)

Ewww! They might be fun to look at but to eat..! ;D Have you really tried them before? You must be brave! I know people eat lobster, crab, clam, etc but I never heard of squid. Maybe I’m just close-minded. I mean, the only sea creatures I would eat are fish. :):)

@starofthenorth

1. Same here! Although they are fun to think about and make up!!

2. Oh you beat me there! I’ve studied some Spanish and French before but my passion is Polish! As soon as I’m fluent in it I’d like to learn German. Swedish is also on my list. But it’s hard for me to learn multiple languages at once. My brain gets confused… :)…[Read more]

Hey!!

I’ll check those out! I’ve read A+ Student’s Guide: Ten Steps To Writing and Publishing by Rachel Rittenhouse but found it a bit vague. Thanks!

@wilder-w

Hello! 🙂

Thanks for the info! And that’s amazing that you’ve published a book! I checked it on Amazon and the cover/first impression was positive and peaked my interest.

I definitely like the idea of self publishing because, like you said, the author can have total control over their book if they so choose. I’ll admit that KDP is a…[Read more]

Bienvenida!!

Welcome to Kingdom Pen! I’m Felicity, a writer, homesteader and follower of Jesus. I saw on your profile that you #1. speak Spanish to your cat, and #2. play “violent” games of dutch blitz with your sister. Congratulations! 🙂 I love languages and speak Polish to my brother’s dog! Dutch Blitz is the best game ever…[Read more]

My sister and I read this together! You should have seen our expressions when we read about Keiryn at her Uncle’s place! We both looked at each other and said, “Wait, what??!!” as we realized he was the same confident kid leading Lila into the mines! You’ve got us hooked! Can’t wait to read more!

Just noticed I’m a Charismatic Rebel now. Am I supposed to start a KP reformation? JK. 🙂

It’s a great newbie question! When it comes down to the nitty gritty, I don’t care if people use the OC or not. I looked at some of my writing and realized that I didn’t use it so that’s how I answered.

Wishing you luck/providence/blessing…[Read more]

@lightoverdarkness6

I would meet Jesus. And I would ask him how he loved us so much that he died for us. And ask him to help me bring some of my friends back to the Light. And just sit in his lap and listen to him preach.

That’s the best choice! And it’ll come true too, in heaven! What a great hope we have!

I would meet Leo or Riker from @freedomwr…

Just curious, what’s your opinion on the Oxford Comma? When I read your question I thought, “What is that??” but when I looked it up I realized I knew what it was, just didn’t know it by the official name. 🙂

@mineralizedwritings

Ooo!! Can’t wait! 😀

@freedomwriter76

I have ancestors that came from Italy in the late 1800’s, I believe, on my Mom’s side of the family, but my Dad’s side, the German side, has been in America since before the American Revolution! Like, 1750s-ish time! 😉 But truthfully, I’m a mix of Italians/Germans/Scots/English/Irish…all of those…XD

#) I’ve got English, Sc…[Read more]
