You know you are a writer when you’re at a discussion group for a teen Christian conference and one of the people says “well… one of my aspirations would be to do something with my writing” and your interest level doubles in a split second.

@ariel-ashira Welcome to the bestistest place on the Internet! I’m glad you’re here to join us.
Just a few words of encouragement – if you write, you’re a writer, and it doesn’t really matter how good you are so long as you keep growing. I think we all struggle with comparison here on the Forum (like, there are published authors hanging around…[Read more]

@audrey-caylin Thanks! Yes, I’ve seen what you said about that on your site 🙂 The Pen Institute looks really cool as well. I’ll keep that link for future reference.
@jane-maree Ooh, thanks 😀 Your advice is really helpful. Although I have yet to decide whether this is plausible for me to pursue in the next few years, I have an idea of where to…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Thanks 🙂
@warrenluther04 Super sorry for making you faint! xD I probably will someday, but I’m afraid it’s not on my list at the moment. (To be honest, I’m not really into science fiction, but we shall see).

@warrenluther04 Haha 🙂 I haven’t seen Star Wars yet, but I may someday. I am surrounded by Star Wars fans at my school.

@dekreel That’s great 😀
And I guess when you name your most prominent feature as creepy eyes, it’s hard to attribute it to any Kapeefer, ever. xD

One of my classmates recently started an editing business, so if you want to check it out, here you go!
She’s an editor for our school’s journalism club and was head editor for a recently released literary magazine. (She’s also an incredibly hard-working and responsible friend, so I’d recommend her on that basis if not anything…[Read more]

@dekreel Maybe the “V” was your sister’s hair? At least that’s what it looks like to me 🙂
@kaya-young Well I’m an aspiring filmmaker who used to not like movies… so there you go 😀
@jenwriter17 and everyone: I probably wrote random things now and then when I was little, but I remember in 3rd grade I had to take the Common Writing Assessment,…[Read more]

Grace H. replied to the topic What's Your WIP? in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 8 months ago
@waterlily The mention of “WIP”s actually makes me feel pretty guilty because my major obstacle apart from surviving an academically vigorous school + extracurricular activities is to find time and motivation to write. (aka the projects below are dragging at snail pace).
But anyways… at the moment I have three major things I’m either writing or…[Read more]

Grace H. replied to the topic The Compendium of Kapeefer Literature in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 8 months ago
@supermonkey42 I feel like a webpage would be better, because not every writer uses Google Docs or has a Gmail account. Maybe you could create a WordPress.com one for free, give it a simple layout, and whoever wants to submit KP literature would have to through you before it got on the site. That way we could simply drop a link for the newbies,…[Read more]

@dekreel Calling that big of a cliff-hanger ‘boring’ is the new sort of writing-related self-deprecation 😀 I hope you are well rested when you see this again. Speaking of cliff-hangers, when is the next part coming out? 😛 Can’t wait to see what’s happening next.
Is the glowing-eyed dog somehow related to someone/someone’s creature on the…[Read more]

@daeus Okay, thanks! And the antagonistic force is primarily the opposing institution, due to a long history of rivalry between the two.
@mnvalentine Mmm, yes, that makes sense. Thank you!
@sam-kowal 😀 Thanks! I don’t know how long it’s going to be (its my first real novel idea) but we’ll see.

Grace H. replied to the topic Prayers in our writing in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 6 years, 8 months ago
@skredder I’m not a theologian either, but I certainly don’t think its blasphemous. In fact, if you are writing a story with the aim to glorify God and you’re using your characters and their actions to back that up, it really is the other way around!
And from what I know from what I’ve read in the Bible, I’m thinking you can apply the lessons…[Read more]

Hi everyone,
So for a novel idea I’ve been struggling with for some time, I have the protagonist learn different things over the course of the story. The central theme would be selfishness, but at the moment I’m not sure if all that I have going on is too complicated for one book.
Here’s a synopsis: My protagonist is selfish and by circumstances…[Read more]

Not Yummy Leaves?
Poem by Grace
Bob the koala clambered to the tree over there
A tree, which must be told, was far from bare
An eucalyptus tree with nice thick leaves
Any sensible koala would have to grieve
If they couldn’t get any. But as for Bob
He didn’t let out so much as a sob…[Read more]
