Hey, sorry I haven’t been notifying you guys of new chapters, but I’ve still been writing. Eight more chapters of draft 3 have been completed. Please let me know what you think!

For those of you who have read this already, I especially want to know what you think of chapter 16. Since I had a lot…[Read more]

Chapters 7 and 8 added!

Hello everyone,

I’m sorry to say I won’t be able to work on a replacement for Kingdom Pen anymore. I recently got a full time job, and have other projects I need to work on in my…[Read more]

Chapters 4-6 out now!

For Google users, I did change the layout of the document a bit. Click on the menu icon in the margins to the left of the page to access the different chapters.

I do want to experiment more with it. There a couple of different ways to use them that I haven’t tried much yet, like putting the water down first, or taking the brush, collecting the color from the tip of the pencil, and then directly painting the paper with that.

That drawing looks very good. A bit of a different style that what I’ve seen you use.  It flows well together

Your drawing looks good, although I do find the bright pupils odd. Is this because he isn’t human?

Thank you for ze complements to ze wuffers. I must confess though, I did follow a tutorial directly for the outline.

You can draw your own wuffers here: https://monikazagrobelna.com/2019/07/26/sketchbook-original-how-to-draw-wolves/

Oh nice!! Watercolor pencils? Are you going to brush them? (It…

Did you send the request? I haven’t got anything yet.

All right. Get better soon!

Nice. Now if you see one of those, keep your distance.

Sounds good. Thank you!

My sister got me some nice watercolour pencils for Christmas!

In the world of Ehverwyld, magic is an evil thing. It twists those who use into horrible crow-like monsters. Alan knows this. It took his family and has left its mark on him. Alan deeply regrets the day he used it.

But it isn’t the end for Alan yet. He’s determined to put his past behind him, by joining his country’s army. He will prove to the w…

Sorry, I’ve been gone a while. But I’m back now. Anything more updates on the moderators?

That’s quite the story about your friend. Yikes!

I guarantee someone has picked up Chronicles of Narnia and made the argument it supports Satanism.

Yup. Some people who attend my church fell into the Occult before they became Christians, and they blame it on Narnia. Which is a bit challenging for me as a fantasy writer. I am just careful to respect their convictions and not wave my…[Read more]

Looking through everyone else’s responses, I think they have already covered what I would say to that. Have her enjoy it, because it’s realistic, then show some consequences. I like the idea of starting with subtle consequences. Something that lets the reader know that what she did was wrong, but she would push it away, or even tell…[Read more]

My sister does not have an account. I will see if she is willing to try again. Thanks for the heads-up!

Should we try contacting the moderators again?

Good drawing! The lighting turned out well!

Sorry it took me a while to reply. I’ve been neglecting KingdomPen (and some other things), as of late. Trying to get back into it.

Your drawing does look good! The hair does look like it is caught up in the wind. The scarf looks a little stiff, though. I might expect it to bulge a little with the wind. Other than that, it’s a good, clean drawing!

Thank you!

600+? That’s… a lot of characters… You’ve got a lot of patience.

How long did it take you to do just those 28?

Sorry, it took me a while to get to that thing, but I finally did!

What you’ve got looks all right. You’re setting up a war and a villain within their own ranks. The prologue does make this more interesting with the old warrior who doesn’t want to be a hero contrasted with his younger self, who is far more eager to fight. Keep it…[Read more]

Alternatively, he recommended we could just use Microsoft…[Read more]

I understand your concern and have looked into it. I will see if I can find something else to use. I have a friend who is very much into security (he has his Bible app on his phone disguised as something else), and I see what his recommendation is.

With that said, I may be asking people to help create accounts on a few…[Read more]

All right, thank you for letting me know where you are at. It’s all right if you aren’t able to help. I understand if you are busy.

Hey, did you see the last message I sent for people who want to be moderators on the new site?

Hey, how is figuring out Notion going?

I am a part of The Next C. S. Lewis Foundation, actually, lol.

Neat!

I wanted to let you guys know about a girl named Eva…[Read more]

Sounds good!

Thank you! I have added you to the Notion workspace! Please look through the pages I have on there.

For some reason, now I’m tempted to try drawing in that position, ha ha.

Personally, I find I draw better if I’m lying down on the floor than sitting at a desk. My dad has never understood that.

Just checking, did you both see the thing about Notion and the place to share the email address you use to sign up so that I can add you to the project?

I signed in. with my work email. Do you have that?

I don’t think so. I just have your proton email. Can you send it to me please, either using the Google doc or with your other email address?

It’s 50/50 if I get notifs. Today they are working.

Yup…

is it something I have top download, because my laptop tends to crash and burn when I try to download apps.

Uh oh…

Well, it can run in a browser as well. So you can try that, and no download will be necessary.

Oh, did you not see the thing about Notion I posted above?

Notion is a notetaking software I would like to use for the planning team as it has some useful features in it. This will allow us to assign tasks to each other, share our work, and check the progress with each other. It’s more convenient than email in that way. Is that…[Read more]

wait what? I didn’t add those……. odd.

Intreating.

What are you building this in?

And yes, I should be using my proton address.

All right. Let me know when you have Notion set up, and I will add you in.

Sorry, I forgot to reply to this yesterday.

*sigh* I’ve done everything I can to make that work. I have a SEO spreadsheet of things to do open and have done everything save the social media tagging, and so far it’s not gone anywhere. Not sure what I can do to make it work better.

Hmm. I would have to see it to know what the pro…[Read more]

Just downloaded it and it seems like a helpful app. I’m assuming you can collaborate on it?

Yes, we can collaborate, so I think it will be quite convenient for us.

I will need to add your email to the workspace to invite you. Could you open up this document and request access with the same Email address you used to sign up for Notion? I…[Read more]

1. We’ve done role-plays in the General Writing section, but I think it would be great to have a separate section for them. It would be easier to keep up with them if they aren’t buried, at the same time dividing them from more “discussion” topics. They really are a separate concept.

2. I noticed a typo while you were preview…

Have any of you used Notion? It’s a note-taking software I have been using a lot recently. It is very flexible and can be used for planning. I’m thinking we could use that as a place to plan this website, as it would allow me to assign you tasks. I can also link up some other sites to it, such as Figma…[Read more]

How do we want to treat this website in relationship to the original KP community?

To be honest, probably because I am a relatively newer member and not as…[Read more]

No worries. Not everyone needs to be a moderator. If testing is the only area you are confident in helping out it, then that is okay.

Thank you for your concern. As others have already told you, we have looked into it already. But I am still glad you brought it up. If you have any other questions/concerns, please let me know.

I took a look at the website. Overall it looks good. Maybe, if I have enough time, I may give you more feedback, but there are a few things I noticed.

Areas to improve:

1.  The logo needs to be refined. It’s a fine picture, but as a logo it looks messy, and the small black text is hard to read on the grey clouds. A good way to…
