Elizabeth

@milena Hello and welcome to the Kingdom of Pen! I’m Elizabeth; it’s so nice to meet you!:)

Poetry is so cool!! You should definitely submit some–I’d love to read some of your work:D Ah yes, films and music are such great places for inspiration. Do you have any particular favorites (films or music)? For me, I tend to gravitate towards a…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Oh, I know exactly what you’re feeling. That’s honestly what kept me in the throes of writer’s block for so long–I felt as if I had to reach some standard of maturity or knowledge before I could share my thoughts. Fun times, right?

However, the funny thing about growing up is that it never really stops. You’re always going to be…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Ooooh what a fun dare!!! I love your sentence, btw:D

Here’s mine (I think; my WIP is so out-of-order that it’s difficult to really tell which sentence I wrote last 🙃)

“What? Speak up, honey, I can’t hear a thing you’re saying.”

@gracie-j Ugh, this is such a relatable struggle (and I’m totally going to be stealing everyone’s advice:D)

I’m in the middle of moving at the moment, so pardon me if my reply doesn’t make sense, but the tip that’s helped me the most is something a screenwriting prof. once told me: give your draft permission to be bad.

Now, I haven’t met…[Read more]

@iluvhim18 Oooh royalty!! My favorite:D

Hmm, since she wouldn’t abdicate… what if she was back in the vicinity of your other characters doing royalty-related things? Like, she’s essentially on a business trip, or she needs something from their country and thus has an excuse to be there. Does that make sense?

@lydia-s Yes, such a beautiful topic!! Though lololol, it made me realize that I have no idea how, when, or if my two engaged characters experience a proposal. I might have to give writing that scene a whirl… I do have IRL experience with the subject but that’s another matter entirely

Anyway, what’s your favorite proposal scene that you’ve…[Read more]

@elfwing Oh this is such a good topic! Tears can be so difficult to write, for sure.

I don’t necessarily have a ton to add (Lydia and JC have covered the topic amazingly), though I will say that I rarely if ever read a guy character crying as wimpy–it can honestly be quite refreshing to see one cry, because it’s both strangely unusual to find i…[Read more]

@lydia-s Ah, I see, I see. Well, nevertheless my congratulations still stand–finishing half of high school is no easy feat! And thank you!!! It’s all been very exciting 😀

That’s an excellent question! It really varied from class to class. Like, in my Early American Lit class we read books like Walden, Last of the Mohicans, House of Seven G…[Read more]

@ariel-f Hello Ariel!! Welcome to Kingdom Pen! I’m Elizabeth:D

Your WIP sounds so cool!!! How long have you had the idea for it?

I saw that you like listening to Christian music (for King and Country is an excellent choice, btw). Have you heard of Tenth Avenue North?

Question for you: what’s your favorite beverage? (Tea, coffee, lemonade,…[Read more]

@annika123 Hello and welcome to the Kingdom of Pen! I’m Elizabeth, and it’s so very nice to meet you:D That’s so cool you like writing middle-grade! It’s such an underappreciated genre, tbh. Do you like reading in the same genre?

@elfwing Hello and welcome to the Kingdom of Pen! I’m Elizabeth, and it’s so very nice to meet you!

Ah yes, a fellow homeschooler and Tolkienite! *fistbump* Wow, your Tolkien list is impressive! I own the Book of Unfinished Tales, but haven’t gotten around to reading it yet. *shakes fist at homework*

Awww, Yoshi is such a cute name for a…[Read more]

@lydia-s Eyyy congratulations on finishing high school!!!! That’s such an accomplishment! *throws confetti everywhere*

For me, I’m planning on pursuing writing part-time, as I balance work, homemaking, etc. Personally, I went the college route–I actually just graduated with a BA in English literally a week and a half ago, so that’s been a bit…[Read more]

@nova21 @scripter-of-kingdoms @issawriter7 Clocking out for now at ~478 words. Thank y’all for sprinting with me!!!

Fav line:

There was a note of truth in his voice, but I’d seen this sort of thing too many times to justify believing him. Instead, I took a deep breath and asked a more concrete sort of question. “What happened to you then?”

@nova21 I’ll hop on for a few!!

@sparksaraabott11 Hmm, that’s such a difficult question–I think I’m going to have to go with Donna or Rose, though I do like Rory and all the others. As for the Doctors…11 has been my traditional fav, but lately I’ve found myself torn between 10 and 12.

That’s so cool that y’all are watching the OG Doctor Who!!! How has that experience been?…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting *wicked grin* Excellent, excellent–it’s quite a lovely watch in my own humble opinion, so you’re in for a treat.:D

@beth-darlene Hello and welcome to the Kingdom of Pen! I’m Elizabeth, and it’s so very nice to meet you. Would you care for some tea? *offers virtual cup*

I am a fellow fan of fantasy! And was homeschooled as well, so it sounds like we already have a lot in common. 😀 I see you’ve already answered the “favorite authors” question, so I’ll hit you…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 Of course!!! Ah, I can definitely see it–from what I know of Korra, I can see how they would be similar. Ehehehe, thanks! *steals Felicity and all the rest of your characters and runs cackling away into the sunset* Yes, same!! I guess that’s a sign that our characters need to meet, then>;D Hmm…I feel like Tin and Caira would get…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 LEXI!!!!! Oh my goodness!!! My eyes have been blessed oh my word–

*cough* I don’t know how you’ve done it, but you’ve made me love Felicity already. Like, can I steal her? Please? Her and Caira just need to come and hang out with my charries already–they’d all be BFFs. (Or hate each other. Who knows XD)

Also, on a purely ae…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdom I’m so sorry it’s taken me this long to reply!!! I’ve been busy graduating and all that jazz. But eeEEEE I love Yeong now!!! Wow, I have such a vivid picture of him in my head, plus I’m definitely stealing the phrase “comfortably edgy.” (It’s such a nice one, you see:P) And ahhhh, I was busy shipping him and Kadotake when I…[Read more]
