Wow! I posted, and your nose doesn’t look like a carrot anymore! It looks like… I’m not quite sure what kind of flower that is. 😛

Uh… is that you, @bluejay? What… um… happened to your nose? It looks like… a carrot. 😉

Actually, allow me to redirect you to this sweet little page right here in this link.

I’ll be perfectly happy to answer any questions you still have after wading through… all that. 😉

But I’d rather not repeat myself twice, ya know what I…[Read more]

Hey Ingrid, welcome to KP!

*sigh* That’s such a cliche opening line.

Anyway. 😉 I love acting, writing, reading, and singing as well, and am a second oldest child too! Except second oldest of ten kids, not five… 😉

We have a lot in common. 😀

What got you started writing novels?

Welcome to the forum! What kind of fantasy do you like to write? Like medieval fantasy, or like… really weird… impossible… awesomeness with world hopping and portals and time jumping? I think I write a mix of both, though I tend to lean heavily towards realism… 😉

@zoe-wingfeather— cool. 😀

And sorry— I didn’t catch the reference…[Read more]

It is totally an excellent brain exercise, @bluejay. Do it. 😉

And thanks @levipierpont! That’s really cool— I hadn’t thought about giving them physical limitations that extend to the entire race. That’s really… I hadn’t thought about it. 😀

I’m really sad, cause I have to vote this year. *Oh bother!*

@bluejay what!? You lucky thing! I would give just about anything to be old enough to vote this election cycle. It’s a privilege, my dear girl! A PRIVILEGE! 😀

Actually, I would say Ted Cruz is doing pretty amazing right now even if he is just a little behind Trump. Even if he loses, what he’s already done is practically a miracle. Never has such a pure conservative done so well – almost ever.

This. So much this. It makes me so happy, actually, @Daeus.

And here’s a piece of positive news— my dad…[Read more]

Okay, scratch the first post. 😉 I have to share a little bit about one of my favorite cultures with you.

So, there are these short people that look like really ugly dwarves. People call them trolls. But they’re not— they’re actually Ingrim.
Theirs is a very solemn, serious culture— they live underground, in all these magnificent but simple…[Read more]

Welcome to KP, @adry_grace! I’ve not read a ton of scifi, but I have a scifi novel all planned out that I’m super excited about. Why do you like scifi so much, if you can tell me? Is it just all the awesome, confusing, techy stuff that makes no sense and makes your head spin? 😉

And: Salutations. 😉

Oh yikes yikes yikes, you guys, that’s a lot. Very impressive.

I would share mine, but y’all would be stuck reading one post all day. 😉 Besides, a lot of it is still moving and growing and shifting, so I’m hesitant to put down anything in stone.
I have so many cultures, and so many different ways they changed, and morphed into other cultures…[Read more]

The truth does tend to be beautiful, @Rolena-hatfield and @overcomer. 🙂

It’s a good thing that you think so seriously about stuff like this, Mallory! I admire that, truly. One thing that helps me with this when I struggle over the difference between ‘making a name for myself’ and glorifying God is to remember that this gift isn’t even mine to be proud of. God gave it to me. There’s nothing at all I did to earn or…[Read more]

Well, I guess it all depends on why you want to use a pen name. For the longest time I thought I would be forced to— my last name being, as you see, rather an odd and unpronounceable one. 😉 But when I finally came to a decision, I realized that nothing, absolutely nothing, would compare to seeing my very own real name printed out on the cover…[Read more]

Gene Stratton-Porter! I can’t believe I forgot her— everybody should read Gene Stratton-Porter. Fantastic with characters.

No, I don’t think so… but I don’t know if this forum even has forty four more active members, let alone all from different states. 😉

I was born in Texas, if that counts for anything… love that state, despite all the mosquitoes. 😀

No, I don’t think so… but I don’t know if this forum even has forty four more active members, let alone all from different states. 😉

But @kate-flournoy…no American authors? What about Mark Twain (some of the time), Serena Chase, or umm, *clears throat at Grimina’s insistence* even lesser known authors who like retelling fairy tales?

Somehow I missed that the first time around, @hope… 🙂
I was thinking more classical, so I didn’t think of those, but yes all three of tho…[Read more]

That is quite funny, actually. And ‘Republican’ used to be a dirty word— now it’s the other way around. 😛

@Gretald…

-Trump’s probably going to win the Republican nomination. Sadly. Very Sadly.

Hm… you just may be surprised. Obviously nothing’s certain, but I’ve a gut feeling you just may be surprised.

@Daeus

Now if Rubio would drop out, that might flip things right around.

I cannot tell you how much I wish he would drop out— and Carson a…[Read more]
