@slylilhuntress Welcome to Kingdom Pen! I’m an introvert too, who struggles to get stories finished xD And I love Tolkien’s works, too! They are amazing. Hope you have a great time on the Forum!

@kate-flournoy I literally screenshotted that mini-essay of yours, it was so helpful xD

@joy I’m actually wondering about some of these things, too, so I’m afraid I don’t have anything for you. I’ll just hang around and see what other people have to say. 🙂

I’m thinking the target audience will be 9-13, but I’d love this to be one of those books you enjoyed when you were a kid, and that went back and read later and still enjoyed it, and saw something new in it.

@daughteroftheking This line stood out to me, and I suppose one way you could do this would be to have the theme be simple, meaningful, and…[Read more]

@dekreel Totally how I felt! That’s great 😀

I was scrolling through “Recent Forum Topics”, saw that this thread had more posts and just had to stop by xD

@dekreel I think I saw the books… but not really… idk, we didn’t have much time on board the ship so I don’t really remember. There were certainly a lot. I think the program is awesome, though, and may consider it in the future for a GAP year.

@dekreel Awesome! 😀

Do you ever plan on starring yourself?

@reaganramm

• I need help with motivation to get my writing done.
• I need help with letting myself know that my writing is worth it, and how my themes are pointing to Christ (kind of like the first one).
• I need help with developing characters, and how to make them realistic whether they are based on real people or not.

Thank you!!

@dekreel If it’s the ship that travels around the world selling books, I have! It’s actually stopped in Taiwan and I’ve been aboard it.

Signing off now — class period is pretty short. I’ll find your reply about Logos Hope later, though. Good luck with the KPA!

@dekreel Cool! Hope you make progress 🙂

I’ve written haikus before, but I hate the syllable limit. My description likes to be free and flowy, and capturing the essence of something in that few words is tough for me.

Do you ever look back on forums as a sort of “research” for the KPA, or do you think you know the Kapeefers you’re writing about…[Read more]

@dekreel Hey there! I’m in class right now, writing haikus for my advanced writing class. They’re supposed to be about my school, so I’ll have to go for something friendship-wise. What are you writing?

I’ve found it relieving that basically everyone who’s replied so far struggles with the same issues of comparison and self-doubt and writer’s block… and its tempting especially when I’ve encountered people on this forum who’ve finished books and write a good chunk of words everyday, while here I am struggling to find the motivation to finish a…[Read more]

I’m super super sorry for the confusion. This is only the beginning of the poem, not it in its entirety. I haven’t a title for it yet, but its about friendship and eventually about saying goodbye.

@dekreel I’m glad you like it!

@rochellaine Yes, I should probably read it out loud and see how it flows. And I almost put “relating across worlds”,…[Read more]

@catwing A lot like what @rochellaine said, that MK’s might not struggle with bitterness, especially if they’ve been in this situation for basically their entire lives. I know I think my situation is normal (for me), and I wouldn’t change as this is what I’ve grown up with. As a result of living overseas, I’m not terribly picky about food or…[Read more]

@rochellaine These poems are hilarious. Thanks for starting this! 😀 😀 😀

I screeched at Stan

Like a mother bear

But all he said was “Well There

Please keep your hair

I put that hole in your blanket

Now I go for a chair”

@sam-kowal @dragon-snapper NO ONE HAS MENTIONED how funny “Now I go for a chair” is. That is most definitely the best par…[Read more]

@dekreel Awesome! 😀 Can’t wait to see what’s coming up next!

@aedesia Welcome to the bestistest place on the Internet! Hope you enjoy your time here.

I would be happy to critique your short story chapter! 🙂

@ariella-newheart By that last one I mean that if you’ve spent time developing this one character only to find that they’ll not be so important after all, you can actually use the work you’ve put into developing the character to make them as real as possible when your MC does bump into them. Small details, however trivial they might seem, serve to…[Read more]

I guess it’s the wrong time of the day then… 🙁 But I did get some stuff done, so yeah.
