*plops down*
Well, friends, it’s been a while. I haven’t been particularly active on here for like… *blinks* a year or so, so I figured it’s about time I updated everyone on my existence, if only so that you know I am indeed still alive. 😉
In the past year, I have

Hey, friends! Hope you all are doing well. 😊
One of my friends from The Author Conservatory is doing a fundraiser for Rapha International, and I wanted to share it with you all.
Rapha International provides healing, hope, and freedom to girls rescued from trafficking. From today until the 5th, my friend will be donating all of the proceeds from…[Read more]

Hello, friends!
I have not been particularly active lately what with #adulting and all that, so I wanted to pop in and hang out with you all for a little bit. <3333
This is a modified blog tag that I’m borrowing from the lovely Sarah Baran at TheSarcasticElf.com (seriously, if you don’t follow her blog, go do that right now; it’s full of wit,…[Read more]

Hey, ya’ll!
Lydia, here. 🙂 So, I thought it’d be fun to start an inspiration exchange thread!
This is a place where we can all dump interesting photos or dialog prompts we happen to find or come up with, and it’s also somewhere where we can resort to if we need inspiration! Post as many prompts/pictures as you’d like, but please make sure they…[Read more]

Hello, my friend! Hope you’re doing well. 🙂 Idk if you remember the AIO podcast chat page, but Naomi from there was wondering about you.

Oy, well, this took a little longer than I thought. *glares at loathsome procrastinating self, my LPS* I had meant to answer A LOT sooner, respond to each of you individually, and definitely NOT wait almost a full month before responding.
As you can see, that didn’t happen.

Okay, y’all, so I recently finished my YA fantasy novel.
*cues the high-pitched screams*
But my next project is a middle-grade novel featuring a 12-year-old MC who gets herself into all sorts of scrapes.
The problem is, I’m not naturally a humorous writer. It’s something I’m trying to work on in this story, true, but a very not funny writer…[Read more]

So, I thought it’d be fun to share three of a character’s lines (or however many characters you want to do) that are distinctive to their personalities and could, by themselves, be used to describe your character. Here’s mine:
Character: Catherine Miranda Davis

Hey, girl! Just wanted to let you know that yours truly is one of your devoted blog readers. 😀 I read the novelette you posted, and it was awesome!!! I love the creatures you’ve invented, and Riure is a wonderful character! Can’t wait to read the short story and, someday, The Keepers of the Nine. 🙂
God bless! Keep writing! <333-
Yay, I’m glad you liked it!!
(Yeah… I stuck her in a character castle in Story Embers and then decided I couldn’t just let her appear for a few chapters in the book. So somehow she got her own novelette? XD)-
Oh, and I read your short story too! Also beautiful! I never thought of the wind like that…

Hello, fellow Kapeefers! *waves awkwardly*
So, I am actually still alive. I know that my past messaging history seems to indicate that I fell off the face of the planet, but I am still very much here. However, over the summer, I entered the world of adulthood and got a job. Between that and 4H, I haven’t had a whole lot of spare time for…[Read more]-

@mkfairygirl
Thanks! I just wish it would’ve happened AFTER I turned 18… *moans* lol 😛
It’s been going well! Incredibly busy though. How about you?-
HEH WHAT?!?! YOU’RE EIGHTEEN!?!?!? WHY ARE YOU SO OLD?!

Oh wait. Maybe I’m reading this wrong. XD *facepalm*

Whoops… Well, it made sense in my head, but that sentence definitely does not say what I meant it to… *facepalm* XD Gonna rephrase that…

(Since it seems I can’t edit that comment, I figure this is the next best option) That sentence made sense in my head but not so much in real life… Gonna rephrase it… *facepalm*
I wish I would’ve entered adulthood after turning 18… Unfortunately, it happened at 16. Getting a job was a jerk into reality. 😛-
@lydia-s Oof, I know, adulthood comes just too fast.😜
My summer’s been great!! I’ve been swimming a good bit and really enjoying it!! 🙂-

Agreed!
Oh, awesome! Glad you’ve been having a good summer. 😀

Hi! I’ve been great! Just way too busy. 🙂
I hope you found a name for your character, btw. It can be so hard to find the perfect name sometimes. 🙁
So, a Kapeefer is something from the old KP Cinema videos (if you go to the video archives, they’re one page back). It stands for ‘Kingdom Pen fan,’ like Keeper, but with an ‘f’ because of…[Read more]-
Cool. And if you mean my dragon character, yes I found a name for her! Someone suggested Spark, and I liked it so I ran with it.

I have names for her cousins too: Torrent, Rifle, Crossfire, and Silverstar….note that I use a lot of natural stuff….Oh, and she has a brother, Ember.

Ooo, awesome names! The dragon in my fantasy WIP is named Ember, too. 🙂
