You know you’re a writer when hearing someone misuse “literally” makes you figuratively want to pull your hair out.

You know you’re a writer when you talk to a spatula. (His name is Bob, he’s 33, and he’s a vegetarian.)

You know you’re a writer when you kept your pacifiers until you were 8, not because you used them, but because they all had…[Read more]

Your Royal Immensely Benevolent Lowness, the Black Mongoose! May Your Tail Always Be Shiney! Indeed, it is most difficult to kiss something when one has a bill, instead of lips. I do thank thee for pardoning my ungraciousness in refusing to kiss thy paw. However, I do have certain standards of cleanliness, which a twice a month bath…[Read more]

Thanks!

Goose sounds amazing!😂 Legos are so fun. I have a lego guy by the name of Christopher Cornelius who has a car that is basically a box on wheels covered in random pieces, including propellers, antennas, and flowers. His poor daughter is so embarrassed.

That is such a good article! I especially love what she said about darkness and brokenness being so prevalent in fiction nowadays. I see this in teen contemporary books especially. The characters all have dysfunctional families, get drunk, are cruelly bullied, tragically lose family, etc. I want more Penderwick-type adventures, but with…[Read more]

I think your post was eaten. It says you posted, but I don’t see it.

It’s been two weeks, and profile pictures still aren’t working. 🙁

@whalekeeper

I have been stalking this topic, trying to figure out why I write, and the best answer I could come up with is because I love it. (I know, so profound.) I love my characters, I love watching them interact, (especially when it’s awkward), I love how most of them insult each other, yet love each other very deeply. Most of them have s…[Read more]

We sang it at church too! All the verses. By the end my throat kind of hurt.😂 It was worth it though.

@keilah-h

It was under Music, and I posted Saint Patrick’s Breastplate, my dad’s favorite hymn, in honor of Saint Patrick’s Day. I tried to edit my post, maybe Wyoh didn’t like that.

I just created a topic, and it was marked as spam. Was that wyoh?

@stephie

I know, KP has been super buggy lately. I’ll tag @kathleenramm. Not much else we can do 🤷‍♀️

@esther-c @whalekeeper

I agree a lot with what Esther said– my characters are the only main reason that writing appeals to me!

I’ve started to notice that my characters are all different pieces of myself. I kind of see it as each one having a little bit of a different part of my personality. That doesn’t necessarily mean they are all like me,…[Read more]

Salutations, Your Royal Immensely Benevolent Lowness, the Black Mongoose! May your tail always be shiney! It is indeed most wonderous to make thine acquaintanceship. If we are to go by formalities here, thou mayest address me as Your Imperial Highness, The Ducktator, Supreme Ruler of All Ducks and Enemy of All Who Eat Duck. As thou hast…[Read more]

I’ll be praying! A friend of a friend lost their whole church. (The building, not the people).

What stroke of mad genius overtook you when you devised this masterpiece? 👏👏
