I’m a little late @anna-brie but I think I’ll try it too 😀

Yeah, I’d say I’m a KPer… but Knights of Kingdom Pen sounds awesome! 🙂 I agree with you, @sarah-h. @writefury, you’d better get busy writing up something to say to newly dubbed knights. 😉

“I believe, young sir, that those miniscule chips of stone you just purloined from the tree stump belong to me.”
Kaden frowned up from where he was making a small rock circle, “Nuh-uh!”
Gillespie raised an eyebrow and leaned forwards with his hands clasped behind his back, “Then would you care to explain how they came to be in your…[Read more]

This is really good, @bluejay! 😀 I like the characters’ chemistry and how they interact. And I think I’ve already said this, but I really love the humor in it (and the dinner table scene 😉 ).
A couple thoughts:

The following day Uncle Daniel took me for a drive through the reserve. My goal was to see as many different animals as possible…

Oh dear, @kate-flournoy! Since your’s is after mine, the next person writing can just go off of your’s. 🙂

What was this guy’s problem? All I wanted was answers to my questions. I’d only just lost all my memories, and he wasn’t even a little sympathetic.
“You know, I’m getting sick of your evasiveness. Thou art–” I cover my mouth. Where was the Old English coming from?
Gavin smirks at me. “Fairytales aren’t real, eh? Just watch and see.”
He…[Read more]

“Well, geez man. I just remembered one little detail. It’s not like I’ve got everything now.” I’m a little annoyed with how cryptic he’s being.
He tilts his head and keeps his eyes fixed on me.
I lean back against the wall and we sit in awkward silence for a bit as I peruse the stunningly empty archives of my mind. Nope. Nothing.
I turn to look at…[Read more]

I’d second @lightningmouse. Clickety-clack sounds cool. 🙂

Gavin stares at me sadly. “You mean you don’t remember my nicknames for you? I always called you Weirdo. Or Nerd.”
I try again. “No, I mean my real name. Like the one my parents gave me.” Which brought me to another question. Where were my parents? If I even had any…
“Wren.”
“What?” I ask.
“Wren. Your name is Wren.”
. . .

((Sorry guys! I can’t believe I left out a word! Ighhh))

I draw in a deep breath. “Oh.”
He stares at his shoes. “I just don’t know why it would’ve taken you a whole year…”
Oh boy. “I don’t know why either.”
He gives an annoyed laugh and stands up suddenly. “Well that’s apparent! I don’t know why I got my hopes up when I realized you were here. T…[Read more]

Hey, no problem! *beams* 🙂

@overcomer
Great poem! I love it…Dust and Ink is a very creative name. 🙂

@kate-flournoy, Ah! Thank you for clearing that up! I was getting confused between personal character goals and the main story. So now that I think about it, in my WIP the main story goal is to defeat the bad guys, like you said, but the MC’s goal is to find love. The MC is an orphan, and she’s had a pretty bad life so far…so her goal is to…[Read more]

@hope, I’m not sure if this is what you’re thinking, but here’s an idea: when the battle between the MC and the villain is over and the villain’s men find out that their leader is dead, they could just run. That’s usually what happens at the end of battles…the men are really fighting for their leader, and when the leader’s gone, they’ve got no…[Read more]

“It was brilliantly constructed,” Gavin continues,”I remember you asking me if I wanted to give it a try. I said I would. And I did.” His voice trails off, and then we adds,”worst decision I ever made.”
I shift my weight from one foot to the other. “What happened then?” I ask.
Gavin stares at me. “All I remember is swirling colors; when I woke up,…[Read more]
