Thanks for the trophy! XD
You earned it. 😉 😂
A few questions. Is this earth, or a different planet with a similar history. Did you give the nation the name Aletheia out of irony? Aletheia means truthful and revealing, but it’s a nation that has been trapped by the Orb, closed off, hidden, within a lie. Perhaps for those that c…

Alright!
I know what you mean. I’ve drawn reactions of certain characters when one of my favorites, Dune, tries to make a joke. Sorren always manages to look confused and slightly annoyed, and Rina like she’s trying not to laugh. Arew is hiding behind his wing trying to hide his laughter. XD

Yes, but they are most often referred to separately, at least in what I hear from day to day. By definition, they are almost entirely the same, but in speech they are often used differently.

Allison started the topic Just a little typo on the KP newsleter 🙂 in the forum Questions and Support 3 years, 6 months ago
I just read the newsletter and loved it! But I just noticed one little typo on it (its really no big deal, but I just wanted to let you know). Under “March short story picture prompt contest” You wrote send it in by March 30th 2022. No big deal, but just wanted to let you know!

Buuuut as far as the first question goes… you could have his parents killed for seeking peace? But Len doesn’t know that they were seeking peace, just that their “enemy”, whoever that may be didn’t like their motives? (I’m trying to figure out how to explain what I’m picturing XD) But like, all Derek wants is peace throughout th…

Felicity replied to the topic My Villain Needs Some Help in the forum Characters 3 years, 6 months ago
I really like how you’re not afraid to tackle the big questions, like how to deal with violence and how can a loving God allow evil things to happen.
Maybe some “bad guys” snuck poison into the parent’s food, and Derek was the one that unknowingly brought it to them? Then he figures out what happened and feels really guilty about it,…[Read more]

Len’s parents could have been involved in some kind of dangerous or just forbidden movement, but I’m not sure exactly how that would fit into your plot. Or maybe they were killed by members of that movement/society. If they were members of the society, then Len’s redemption arc could have something to do with figuring that out,…

Ok guys. My villain needs some help. Or rather, I, as his author, need some help. I need to decide on his evil title and part of his motivation.
First, some background on him: (Warning: There are a few spoilers. Read at your own risk.) (Another Warning: I do mention murder a few times.)
Derek Len desired peace. It was all he wanted. All he…[Read more]

Esther replied to the topic What makes a character meaningful? in the forum Characters 3 years, 6 months ago
Meaningful characters are hard to write, especially if they aren’t the MC. Depending on their personality, they will be meaningful in different ways. So here are some tips that I hope will be helpful 😁:
1. Give clues to the reader that Layson is important. With side characters, some are important and some aren’t. You gave…[Read more]

Aren’t big families super fun? You’re “violin-squeaking,” huh? I fiddle around with that instrument too, hoping to learn mandolin or dobrolin sometime.
Yes, they are. 😊
Yep! Lol. I play violin, it just doesn’t always come out sounding pretty. 😜
Cool!!

What does up, down, in share in common, that out doesn’t?
Do these three positions have something spiritual in common?
Is ‘up’ an affirmative because God is up, and therefore good is up?
Is ‘down’ an affirmative and a negative depending on the question because hell is down, but God came down to earth as well? Therefore evil is d…[Read more]

Indeed, it is, but did I discover it, or did it already exist?
Am I?
Is it true that everyone is a genius at five years old and as they grow older they start using a different part of their brain? Therefore, would we all be genius, if we could only find the right way to think?
Because that’s a form of inversion, and b…
