@warrenluther04 Welcome back!! Yeah, I’ll accept you back. AS LONG AS YOU STAY LOYAL! 😉
I think The Kingdom of Pen and the… what do you call that place… what, Embria? Emberland? Um… 😛 Anyway, I think the two should be separate, but still associated with each other. Like frenemies. Maybe. I don’t know.
I like the network of islands idea!

@alia Praying for your sister!
@seekjustice @daughteroftheking You guys are making my heart feel so warm right now!

Writing is an “alone-y” sort of thing. We sit in our caves, or corners, or hidey holes, and turn ideas into worlds and people. We may be surrounded by make-believe characters, but if an innocent bystander were to peek into our writing spaces, they would see a teenager on a laptop (or notebook. Or even phone, I won’t judge.). Just one teenager. But…[Read more]

@alia Coolio. So, who’s been ruling in the royal family’s place?

@gh24682468999Â @dekreel I guess the excuse “I’m doing research” only gets us so far. XD

Piggybacking on what @daughteroftheking said:
You know you are a writer when you wish there was a way to test if a knife or sword is actually stained red after someone stabs somebody… without hurting someone.

NC Stokes replied to the topic Pen Names in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 11 months ago
@jenwriter17 I chose to use a pen name, simply because I don’t want my real name circulating around on the interweb. 🙂 I’ve never published anything, though. If I do, I will use my pen name. For now, I just use it on writerish websites like this one.

Wow. That was pretty inspiring.

Joy replied to the topic Pen Names in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 11 months ago
@jenwriter17Â I suppose it depends on how much you want to protect your identity. Personally, I use a pen name because my real name isn’t common in the USA, so it would be easy to search for on the internet, therefore, more prone to people nosing about my personal information.
But I don’t know how rare your name is. *grins*
That’s all I got. 🙂

You know you’re a writer when you go into the backyard to wave a stick around aggressively, pretending to fight wolves and whatnot. One of my characters fights with a staff. It’s RESERCH. I’m being PROFESSIONAL. Not just having way too much fun. RESERCH, I tell you.

@leumeister I don’t even remember asking that. 😛
I did listen to your music, I liked it. Nice job.
You can ignore this, it’s just my opinion/advice. If you want to sell them you may have to bring your price down a bit. On average it seems that albums sell for roughly $10-$15, and have roughly 10-15 songs. I think someone might by your album for…[Read more] -

I’ve been thinking about creating a new thread about how to retrieve a doc if you can’t use the undo button. Or do y’all already know how to do that? What do you think?I’m working on a blog post.

@alia Well, why did she kidnap the princess in the first place? Was she the one who put the sleeping spell on the royal family?

@ingridrd Hello! I finished reading Substitute Wednesday, but I’m just now giving you the critiques. Oops. Because I can’t make comments, I just typed up my critiques. Please forgive me if I sound harsh. I tried to critique it like a book I didn’t know the author of and didn’t know anything about.

@leumeister If you need someone I might be able to read them. Though because I’m entering a short story contest and I still need to write it, I can’t do it until after June 4 (which is the day I turn it in so I’ll be done).

@ariel-Ashira Wow… We KaPeeFer on! *sobs* Raspberry blood. That’s lovely.
When we sign the declaration we should use red ink. (But the one @sam-Kowal shows to SE can omit the names so the spies remain secret.)
When will that declaration be ready @rochellaine ? - Load More

Sorry this is such a late response! I was in Tennessee for a week with limited internet access. Anyway, THANK YOU so very much for your comments and taking the time to read my story! And you were most definitely not too harsh. I needed some critical feedback. 🙂 Thanks again!
Glad to be of service! I enjoyed reading it.
