Hello hello and welcome!!
Oh my gosh, I’ve read The Count of Monte Cristo, one of my favorite books. How long did it take you to read the whole thing? Took me three weeks. Haha.
Screenplay writing, that’s awesome. I don’t have any tips, but do you have a specific idea in mind for the screenplay you want to write?
I am that beautiful woman you met, so I’ve already been introduced to you, but I’ll answer your questions. 😉
What brought you to Kingdom Pen, and what would you like to see improved?
What brought me to Kingdom Pen many moons ago when I was just a teen was the mission to change the culture through writing. I was very isolated and a lonely teen writer at the time and when I found this site I was BEYOND excited.
I would like for the mobile site to be more mobile friendly. I’d LOVE for there to be an app for the forum. I think that would be amazing.Where would you like to see Kingdom Pen go in over the next few years? I’d love to see it become a huge hub for Christian artists of all kinds. I know this is a big goal, but I like insane goals and dreaming big. Maybe get some workshops going, even if they are just digital at first.
Well hi there, Stellybean. Love your username. 😀 How did you come up with that??
FUN!!! Where are you at in the lineup? Oldest, middle? Yes, it is insane, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I’ve loved being a parent. 😀
Haha! Yes, it does. Many years (feels like lifetimes) ago I would have said those two things could not exist. But I’ve lived horror and I think it can be written in a relatable way. I’m not sure just how horror-y I want to write it, could be more psychological…But it’s also a coming of age story. So. Yeah, never written this genre so I’m new at this. haha!
Welcome to our little kingdom here! That’s really amazing you write for three blogs!! 🙂
I am so sorry for not being around at all. I’m actually going to have to drop out of this round. (I don’t even have the book.) I thought it would be possible for me to include this in my schedule, but…haha…nada. I’m really sorry guys! I would have loved to, but I’ll have to wait until the next book.
Looking forward to that, and in the meantime y’all stay awesome! (you always are. 🙂 )Awesome job guys!! Thank you so much! I’m compiling the questions and tweaking them to be a bit more eloquent and then I’ll send them off!! 🙂 Y’all rock!!
I love all these questions! I’m so glad I asked y’all! 🙂 Keep ’em coming! I’ll compile the top ten I think are best, but I’ll still use the rest in other interviews. 🙂
Oh, goodness, this is difficult!
1. The Fiddlers Gun
2. The Great Gatsby
3. To Kill a MockingbirdOh, this is a fabulous idea!!! I’m all in! I love this! Summer is always a busy time for my family, but I think I can squeeze this in!
@Rolena, Oh, I wish you were here!!! That would be epic!!!
@Hope, oh, you ARE in Indiana! That’s good to know! Awwww. I wish you could make it! I won’t be at that convention, sadly. 🙁I live in Indiana, and yes, we grow WAY TOO MUCH CORN!!!! It’s all over the place where I live. Um, let’s see, some facts about Indiana, the southern part is more hick and warm and receptive than the northern part of Indiana.
Indiana weather is bipolar. Seriously. It snowed the other day and then it was seventy degrees five days later. So it doesn’t know what it wants to be when it grows up. 😛
General Lew Wallace actually lived in Indiana! So did Gene Stratton Porter. She was an excellent authoress who lived in this state.Also, Indiana has a home school convention known as the IAHE and it is in April. Are any of y’all going to be there? Some of my family and I will be there and running a booth there. It would be so awesome to meet some of you peeps! 🙂
And by the way, this is an awesome topic! I’ve been wondering where people lived…and it’s kind of creepy to just straight out ask them. 😛
@the-happy-bookaholic Oh, the ‘E’ just added an extra awesomeness to the name. 😛
Greetings to the realm of Kingdom Pen!
Dost thou have a name other than Lightening Mouse that we can call you?Oh, hey, how long have you been an OYANer? I was/am an OYANer, but due to my decrepit-ness they kicked me off the forum. 😛
@belegteleri
I’m excited to see other young writers doing NaNo!! I try to recruit at least one or two writers into doing this. 😛
This is my fourth year of doing it and successfully completing NaNo so I might have a few tips. Daeus had a good one about exercising. Word wars are great. Setting a word count to write each day is also another good one. Rewarding yourself for writing so many words. This is effective. 🙂 Those are a few to start with. 🙂 I hope those help you out!@kate-flournoy NaNo is pretty much like a writing exercise in so many words. It is a contest in its own right and if you do complete the 50k in one month you do get an award and a print out and it keeps a record of it.
It is not a curriculum, though you could use it as a writing tool/challenge.It got started when a small group of guys came up with the insane idea to write 50k in one month. They began their challenge in the month of July and then decided to make it a contest for other writers who are struggling with just simply writing anything at all. There’s a book written about it and includes tips for surviving NaNo written by the guy who started it all. 🙂
Heehee. You like to write a lot I take it? 😛 You can go over 50k. I plugged in 200k in the wordcount tracker on the website and it accepted it so you can go as far as you want!
I’m not on the YWP, but I am on the NaNo site. If any of you are on the NaNo website and you want to find me I go by the name of Lisette Scarborough on there. 🙂
