Aw, thank you! <3

@godlyfantasy12

Ooh, November sounds awesome!

@anatra23 That first character sounds very interesting. XD

@trahia-the-minstrel *blows trumpets* That’s so exciting! Congratulations!

@keilah-h Heheh, yep.

@trahia-the-minstrel

Ooh, good thoughts, good thoughts. . . and, yes, it’s awesome finally finding someone who’s read them. XD

@godlyfantasy12

Ooh. . . sounds interesting! A few questions after reading through your idea so far. . .

• What happened to their dad? Is he playing a part in the story? And if he never really makes it into the scene, do the siblings have any kind of mentor characters?
• What causes these abilities to show themselves right then? Is there…

Ooh, this sounds awesome! <3

I’ll be going with Scarlet for this one, I think.

1. “Just because you left me to die doesn’t mean I did. Hate to break it to you, but not everything revolves around you.”

2. “What if I don’t want to be alone. . . or being with people? What if I’m terrified of being surrounded by people but just as terrified when…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Is there a character (from a WIP or a fandom) that you don’t like, but you don’t hate either?

Ohhhh, yes. Plenty. A few that come to mind are Lilah (Tuesdays at the Castle), Ron (Harry Potter), and Atretes (Mark of the Lion series).

Pick a character, from a WIP or a fandom, then say that character is hanging off the edge of a cliff, abo…

Hmmmmm. . . so many people. XD Community is such an important part of writing. . . let’s see if I can summarize it at all.

1. My mom – She’s always been so supportive of my writing, and she does as much as she can to get me connected with various resources/supporting the time I spend writing. . . she’s amazing.

2. My best friend – We’ve both…[Read more]

Hey there! Welcome to Kingdom Pen! *throws confetti*

I believe I’ve seen you around the Young Writer’s Workshop. . . would I be correct in think that?

@trahia-the-minstrel

Very likely; I was following it for most of the tour. 😁

@trahia-the-minstrel *gaspeth* That’s fantastic! 😍 So exciting, and I love the design so much!

@elishavet-pidyon

Awww, I love the sound of that. <3

@koshka

Ahhh, yes, they really, really are.

@issawriter7

*waves back* THANK YOU! (XP Thank you.)

@trahia-the-minstrel

Not a part of it (yet), but I’ve done a ton of research on it, talked to multiple students who are in it, talked aback and forth with some of their admissions people. . .

And it is fantastic. I’ve heard so many good things about it and am planning on joining in the somewhat near future.

So I’d say, 100%, at least submit an…[Read more]

@koshka

Awww, that does indeed sound lovely. ❤️ Where did he go, if I might ask?

XD I love it.

@elishavet-pidyon

Hehe, feel you on that one. 😋 No worries!

XD My writing style usually leans more towards fewer words than too many (unlike when I’m talking in a conversation, when I will r a m b l e for all eternity), so this duology is going to…[Read more]

@koshka

XD One of my favorite parts when I lived in Europe was getting to see all those traces of the medieval age – castles, fortresses, palaces. . . it was awesome.

Indeed he did.

XD Sounds lovely.

If I may venture to ask, what does your signature mean?

@elishavet-pidyon

Hah, those novels can be so stubborn in that regard sometimes. XP Best of luck with this one!

Series, no; novels, yes. I’m planning on writing a duology this year, which will be my first time writing anything that really builds on itself. I’m quite excited for it. 😁

XD Yeah, that’s always a pitfall that can be too easy to…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Ooh, sounds awesome! 😍 This idea has a lot of potential. A few thoughts about your story in particular and fantasy in general, if I may. . .

#1: As I read through the descriptions of the countries, the line between light and dark felt a liiiiiitle too sharp. There are definitely times when that can work, and I get that you’re…[Read more]
