@dekreel  My w-weaknesses as a writer?  *pulls out 100-foot-long list*  Let’s see here.

I care too much about what other people think.  I have a tendency to view myself as not good enough in relation to writing.

@dekreel Yes! It was perfect! 😀

Anyway, I wouldn’t say mine is procrastination with writing, but that I’m perfect. Yes. I have no weaknesses whatsoever. 😉 Okay, actually, it’s probably uh….ummm…Yeah, you know what, I don’t have any weaknesses.
Dekreel, do you have any suggestions? Something that would be helpful in the story?

Hi @emily! Sorry it’s taking me so long to write back to you! 😛

My grandfather’s funeral was Friday, and it’s really hard 🙁 But we’re blessed to know that we’re going to see him one day soon! 🙂

Since the past couple weeks have been crazy, we haven’t even began to decorate for Christmas. Hopefully we’ll have it up by the end of this week…[Read more]

@dekreel
Procrastination eh?

😉

Anyway — the idea of having each writer with their own villain is cool but I also think that you’re right about the army. Not to mention it might take a lot of extensive work to think up each and every villain. Plus, I’d like to stick together. 😉 And that way, if you have the shapeshifter villain, it can…[Read more]

@emily @dekreel @sam-kowal @daughteroftheking @perfectfifths @introvert_girl @ingridrd

Thanks guys!! I’m so excited to write this!

But why, why oh why does world building and the other things have to take so long? 😉

Stan…..I don’t think that the king will let you have a Dragonfly Kiwi. I’m a dragon and he won’t even let me have one. :(…[Read more]

@xonos-darkgrate I’m going to stick with my opinions from the previous discussion that @daeus mentioned. I don’t think that you should have them.

1. Not only do they infiltrate other people, but it’ll also get stuck in your head. I find that the more I hear them, the more I think them. And even if they aren’t “that bad” they still make me…[Read more]

@xonos-darkgrate I basically side with @kate-flournoy, though I don’t think that swear words cannot ever ever be used.

We had a discussion on this before you might want to read. https://kingdompen.org/forums/topic/coarse-language/

Basically, my position is that you should try as hard as you can not to use any swear words and that the majority o…[Read more]

@winter-rose I am so thrilled for you!!! And overjoyed that you’ll be writing more. And proud of you for taking this scary step. And I can’t wait to see where God takes you. And I’ll be praying for you. 🙂

Much excitement for you!!!

*stares at topic* I swear this thing is rearranging itself as we speak. My reply is now below your post. I have no idea what’s going on. XD

@Winter-rose something odd happened and your post wasn’t here when I got the notification, so my reply is above your post and I accidentally tagged Hannah… 😛 *winces* sorry…

Anyway… THAT’S SO AWESOME!! *tackle hugs* Definitely be praying.

@winter-rose Do I ever feel for you. Quitting the standard, laid out path to go write has got to be one of the most disorienting, frustrating, wonderful things ever.

I have no idea what it will be like for you, but I do know that.
1. God is faithful
2. Writing is awesome
3. You’ll never be the same

Have a cookie 🍪 😀

@winter-rose  Praying that God will continue to guide you…!  🙂

@Xonos-darkgrate ooh, yeah. That’s tougher. I think it could still be done though… ‘I swore silently,’ or ‘Easily half a dozen rather ungentlemanly words jumped to my lips and I just barely bit them back’. It depends a lot on his voice, of course, but I believe it’s possible.

@salome01w4g THAT’S SO AWESOME!! *tackle hugs* Definitely be praying. 😀 😀 😀

@Xonos-darkgrate ah, classic question. 😀

I’m definitely not a fan of sanitizing everything to the point of complete squeaky-cleanness, because it’s dishonest.

That said, I think swearing is unnecessary to say the least. It’s different than other ‘content’ for one. Say, for instance, one of your characters is a harlot. Pretty dark, right? But…[Read more]

@mariposa  That’s fantastic!  *stares in awe*

Anyone seen The Rifleman? 😀

The back of my card:

@dekreel I remember that poem when you posted it on the forum a few weeks ago. You are welcome to post it again here if you wish. 🙂

@silverclaw-bonnetfolly I love making snowflakes! I make some every year and string them to my ceiling fan to make it look like falling snow.
