We’ll be sending an email out later today about this, but you can access a recording of the webinar at https://kingdompen.org/nanowebinar2016! The webinar will only be available for a limited time and the link will expire on midnight November 1st, so be sure to watch it…[Read more]

@his-instrument Awesome! Looking forward to seeing you there in a couple hours! Check your email at 7:50 to get the webinar link. 🙂

@jess Absolutely! I’ll talk with some of my friends in the pre-law program and shoot you a connecting email once I find someone. 🙂

@daeus WHAT HAST THOU DONEST!? Jk, it gives me great pleasure that my thing is spreading. Maybe one day it’ll be cool enough to warrant a t-shirt… xD 😀

ALSO, MANY MORE THUMBS UP AND CONGRATULATIONS, NOVEL COMPLETING FRIEND! I AM PROUD OF YOU AND YOUR NOVEL COMPLETING ACCOMPLISHMENTS!

@sleepwalkingmk My understanding is that English is more focused on grammar and syntax and some of the more technical aspects of the English language, whereas literature is more focused on reading the great books and discussing/analyzing them. There’s a fair bit of overlap, though, between the two majors, but that’s the directions they tend to…[Read more]

@sarah-h Good point. They do have rather high entrance requirements. That being said, I do know friends here who didn’t 100% make the entrance requirements but were still allowed in. Because it’s a small school, if you try hard enough to get in, you have a pretty good chance of making it in, even if you don’t necessarily meet all of them. So if…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper My recommendation would be to figure out what kind of majors you’re looking at and research what the best colleges are for that major. If part of your purpose of attending college is to help your creative writing, I would think through whether or not you want to go to a place with a strong literature program or a strong writing…[Read more]

Excellent question! As a second-year college kid, I could probably write you a book on things to know before starting college, but there are actually lots of books already out there to help you with the transition. My biggest piece of advice is find somewhere that you feel at home at–or think you will feel at home at, and then go for it–get…[Read more]

@aella Sorry to hear that! But yes, we should be able to record it and send that out sometime after the webinar. 🙂

@sarah-h No worries! Thanks for checking. 🙂

@ingridrd Noooooo… :'( We will miss your presence. Hopefully you’ll be able to catch the replay!

@winter-rose If that happens, we will most certainly have no trouble coming up with story ideas for NaNoWriMo. 😉 Looking forward to having you there!

@sarah-h: I’ve been doing some site changes over the past couple weeks, but don’t think I did anything that would have impacted the emoji size. :/ They seem to be showing up normally for me as well. I second what @dragon-snapper said about this possibly being a zoom issue!

@ingridrd: Sweet! Hope you can make it!

@anne-swiftblade: We’ll miss having you there! As I said above, we should be able to make a recording of the session, so watch your email or this thread to learn more about how you can access that replay. 🙂

@aella: Looking forward to having you there!

@jess @gretald

Awesomesauce. Looking forward to hopefully having both of you there!

@kate-flournoy @sarah-h @dragon-snapper @hope

We’re currently looking into different ways to record the session and share it with those of you who can’t come. Watch your emails and/or this thread for information on that once we figure it out!

@daeus @kate-flournoy

I’ve added a feature to the sidebar that should be pretty close to, if not identical to, what we had before. 🙂 Thanks for your feedback!

@ingridrd Yeah, I cried for like three hours right after watching it because I had a teacher just like the one in the movie. Still so good though.

Favorite movie? Good grief, that’s a tough one… Probably Dead Poet’s Society. It has some cruder elements to it, but the overarching theme of the mentor and coming of age is fantastic. It’s also a huge tear-jerker… so many feelings and what not. 🙂 Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Lord of the Rings are some of my more mainstream…[Read more]
