A lot of my story ideas are either Biblical fiction or fantasy retellings of Bible stories. 😉

• Judges 6-8 meets Treasure Island.  In other words, this is Gideon with pirates. XD This is also my current WIP that I’m writing as part of the Author Conservatory, and I’m IN LOVE. I’ll make a post and share about it somewhere.
• The book of Esther…

Agh, thank you for tagging me, @freedomwriter76! It’s so good to be interacting on here. I’ve missed this place!

Love all of these story ideas!!! I love all the creativity. 😀

@devastate-lasting

Agh, you poor thing!!! How’d they go? Goodness, I hope you’re on break now. With all of that craziness, you deserve some time to rest! 😅

@janellebelovedpig I never really looked at your profile picture that closely, but that Queen Esther doll is amazingggg. (And yes, Sight and Sound all the way. XD)

@whalekeeper Mm, that’s such a blessing. Strong community around you is so beautiful. <3

@acancello Yessss, let me know what you think of it!

@hybridlore Violin is gorgeous. <3 Do you have a favorite song to play?

I play the piano, and I’ve fiddled around with the guitar and the recorder in the part. XP

Spaceships, thieves, and magic – that sounds like a fantastic combination. XD

@hybridlore Eee, welcome to KingdomPen! *blows trumpets* Oooh, violin? How long have you been playing that?

What kind of characters do you like writing best?

@joy-calle *throws confetti* That’s so exciting! 😍 Congrats!

@acancello My latest book obsession is For Whom the Sun Sings. It’s dystopian but without dystopian clichés (i.e. no angsty teenagers and no robots overtaking the world 😜), and it’s. . . truly a masterpiece. <3 It’s about an eleven-year-old boy who can see in a society where every man, woman, and child is blind. The characters are heart-breaking,…[Read more]

@sarafini Yayyy, this is going to be great!

Per the YWW pitch – *clears throat* YWW quite literally changed my life. 🥰 I had been writing for a few years and had scoured the internet for every article on writing out there, yet I wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted to. Then, after a handful of CWWs, I took the plunge and joined YWW in January of…[Read more]

@whalekeeper Ooh, fascinating topic. <3 I genuinely love good parent-child relationships in fiction. . . whenever they do show up. 😜

I think what you said is on point – it’s not the writing of abusive or absent parents that’s the problem, because those things do exist in real life and fiction should mirror that. The problem is the way it’s…[Read more]

I’ll be there! Super excited for this. (And if anyone needs the YWW pitch, I have it. XP)

@acancello That sounds amazing. I’ll have to see if our library has it.

@euodia-vision I knowww; it’s wonderful. <3

@devastate-lasting

Once again, I come prancing in several months late… *facepalm*

Aww, I can understand that. If you ever get the chance to join, though, I can’t recommend the program highly enough! I’ve only been a part of it for 4 months, and I already feel like I got my money’s worth. 😆

And thank you! I just got graduated to drafting last we…[Read more]

@euodia-vision Ack, I thought I had responded to this. I found it online and can’t for the life of me find out who wrote it, but it’s beautiful. <3

The piper piped in the valley

Of rainbow hopes and fears,

A song as old as the Angels

That fell on our idle ears;

And the elfin echoes of laughter

Were lost in the dying day

As we forget, for…[Read more]

@acancello Ooh. . . it sounds vaguely familiar, but I don’t think I’ve read it. What’s it about?

@euodia-vision Ahhh, yessss. Rilla of Ingleside is honestly one of my favorite books. <3

@landric Most of the historical fiction I’ve read is in third person, so unless you have a strong reason to go with first, I might stick with third? Especially since that’s what your audience is expecting, and they probably like it better. 😋 But ooh, journal entries + third person sound excellent!

@acancello Yesssss, they’re all amazing. You’re making me want to go re-read Jo’s Boys. XD
