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…[Read more]

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 l…[Read more]

Yeah, I’ve heard some Christians don’t celebrate Christmas because it integrated some popular winter traditions from pagan cultures.

Personally, I see it as taking back the culture for Christ. Taking something pagan and turning into something that is meant to glorify God.

That’s actually one of the primary missions of Kingdom Pen.

But if you…[Read more]

Hi @Elishavet Elroi !

So cool you’re pursuing an illustrating career and theology!  What kinds of essays do you write?

We’ll look into the privacy option. Actually, the original reason we had it public was for safety.

I used to be a member of a private creative writing forum, and it allowed for some people to prey on members of the community.…[Read more]

Really great points @Quicksilverwyvern ! Especially bringing up the Genetic Fallacy. Not to sound judgy, but I feel like a lot of Christians could benefit from studying a little bit of logic. Maybe we wouldn’t get so many wanting to cancel Christmas and things of that sort. Haha!

My wife grew up in an abusive religious cult that actually had the…[Read more]

My family started out going to an Evangelical Free church as well, I used to work at a Presbyterian church, and I’ve a southern baptist church before too, so a little familiar with all of that. My views on God and the Bible have changed pretty radically since I was a kid though.

But definitely agree with the EF belief in…[Read more]

Exactly! Love geeking out over the Bible! Baptism is the new circumcision. There are so many other passages and example of baptism all throughout scripture that are all consistent and point to this reality.

Passover for example. The Israelites had to be covered by the blood of the lamb by spreading the blood on their doorposts. We now…[Read more]

The Lord Heals! 

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree; so that, having died to sins, we might live for righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. – 1 Peter 2:24

Personally, I like to do a LOT of plotting, since my stories usually are very complex from a plot standpoint and want to diminish plot holes, so I created a 10 milestone framework. 

Have you heard of the 5 Milestones?

It’s a very simple plotting structure, kinda like a balance between pantsing and plotting.

It’s:

1. Set-up
2. Inciting Incident
3. 1st slap
4. 2nd slap
5. Climax

This way, you only need to plot out 5 key events, and then you can fill in the rest as you go.

That’s kinda cool you don’t describe her appearance. Charlotte Brontë deliberately did not provide a conventional or detailed physical description of her character in Jane Eyre.

Also love the music/song power.

So you’re just looking for a name for her?

I typically use baby name sites, Behind The Name, or AI for finding a good name.
