Here you go then!

The lights disappeared down the street within a few minutes and two other passengers were visible through the back window. The street was empty again.
Cobalt wasn’t even sure how he’d managed to get away so quickly. But there he was, his back against a tree along the roadside and his mid…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Your reaction… I’m grinning my face off right now. XD I’ll definitely post some more. (Though I can’t promise that stopping spot will be much better… 😉 )

@daeus and @adry_grace That was my biggest concern on the scene. Bad guy dialog isn’t really my strong point. 😛 I shall work on that.

Thanks for catching the typos,…[Read more]

Okay, so can I be the first to say…WOW!!!! This is so amazing!!! I want to read ALL of this! I did notice just a few small things: after Jazz is listening at Jean’s door, you say Silence answered. To me, that doesn’t make much sense since he didn’t call out or anything so nothing could have answered him. That might just be me…hope…[Read more]

@writefury, I like it! I mean, I like them…the stories ideas, that is. 🙂

Awesome topic! I especially love your stone story idea @kate-flournoy. 😉
Lemme see… there’s one that I never finished about a Irish girl taken captive by Vikings and makes her way back after escaping with one little dog, one big dog, and one massive eagle. I basically wrote the whole thing while listening to the soundtrack of How To Train Your…[Read more]

Welcome to Kingdom Pen, @christi-eaton! 😀 Love the profile pic. 😉

@rolena-hatfield
I know, right? Dreams are just odd…I’ve played hide and seek with polar bears and been slashed through the arm. (Okay, maybe mine are even stranger than everyone’s. *shakes head mournfully* *walks away weeping*) Anyway, stories. Well, I had to write a take-off on The Princess and the Pea, and it got very interesting. It was…[Read more]

@Daeus, YES, THIS IS SO HELPFUL. Thanks for sharing, Daeus! I struggle with “telling,” too, and it’s nice to know that I’m not the only one. 🙂

Your game sounds like a story I tried to write. It was an attempt to do a fairy tale spin off by putting Snow White, Cinderella, Belle, Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel all in the same book as sisters. Their parents left on a journey and their evil uncle tried to take over the throne.

@rolena-hatfield, Ooo, that’s a great story idea! 🙂 That would…[Read more]

@Daeus
This was totally, positively, VERY helpful! I should be finishing my WIP pretty soon (I’m hoping this summer), and it’s good to know about things to watch out for while editing…thanks for the tips!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

@rolena-hatfield
Oddly enough, a lot of my story ideas come from dreams that I have regularly…this being the case, I can not possibly write every single story this strange mind of mine creates. :p I had a dream once about a boy at an orphanage. From what I remember, the building exploded; the boy, another boy, and a girl were the only…[Read more]

@christi-eaton, Welcome to the bestiest place on the internet! 😉 You won’t regret joining KP–that I can promise you. 🙂

Ooo, yes! The Wingfeather Saga is a great book series (I haven’t finished the last book yet, but still…).

I’ve never read Les Mis, but I’ve seen the play. Have you heard of/seen the play? Is the book at all like the…[Read more]

@christi-eaton
Hey!!! And welcome to the most awesome place on the internet! I’ve only been with KP for a few months but it has been such a blessing…so, anyway, HI!!! *waves enthusiastically*

@bluejay, I’ll be sure to keep you in my prayers, as well. 🙂

@mas410, Hmm…still trying to remember. Anyway, that’s cool we know each other! XD

@rolena-hatfield, My siblings and I make up lots of “games,” where we play the characters in the story. One of these “games” was about prince and princess siblings, who lived locked up in a room in their own castle. Their parents (the king and the queen) had gone on a trip, and the siblings had been receiving letters from the parents. One day,…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy, thanks so much for the encouragement! 🙂
