Thanks for letting me know! Looking into it now.

Yay!!! You are alive! ngl was getting a little worried there lol.

Exactly… It definitely takes a few magical capabilities to be a forum moderator. 😅 Especially when the evil spam bots are constantly trying to take down precious Whaley. 😤 Not on my watch!

For some reason, the WordPress system was flagging everyone’s posts as spam. Especially dear Whaley. 😭😭😭

If you are still having trouble posting let me know. Also, I’m going to be on here a lot more frequently so I’ll be able to nip the problem in the bud before it ever gets too out of hand like…[Read more]

Hi guys! So sorry for being mia recently and missing your posts and struggles with all these glitches!!

Imma try to get to the bottom of all these issues and get back to you once I make some progress. Continue to let me know of any other issues that arise…[Read more]

Glad the post is now up!

I think it must’ve marked it as spam before because I edited it a few times?

That’s my best guess. The site tends to get a bit finicky when making edits. I’m not sure the exact cause of why this is, but I’ll be looking into it!

Thanks for letting me know about this issue! Spam marking is an automated program and unfortunately, it is quite faulty and unrightfully marks perfectly fine posts as spam. I’m currently looking into ways to make adjustments to this program so that it’s more accurate with its spam marking.

Have you been able to get your…[Read more]

Cool! I can’t wait to see how KP grows in your hands! I can’t really offer any comments or advice as far as finding a job, but I’ll give your prayers for that journey!

Thank you! And I will be praying that your mission goes well and that you touch many people’s lives with God’s word and light!

Christ gave Authority to Peter to bu…

Sorry for suddenly going mia for a bit, one of my co-workers got sick so I had a few extra shifts this week and haven’t been able to get online until now!

Anyway, good to be back again, yet again!

It’s been going really well! I’ve been working, doing some writing (obviously,) and preparing for a two-year mission that will hop…

Dude! This is incredible!

With how immersive the world and writing style is along with how much intrigue and mystery was jam-packed into this excerpt, I’m blown away! Why didn’t you tell me you were this good at writing?!

The first section was actually breathtaking. I could feel each word as if they came alive within my body and…[Read more]

Hey! How’s it going?

I was just catching up on the most recent posts on this Apologetics forum as there always seem to be interesting conversations brewing here.

I’m totally down to continue our previous conversation or move to a new one (the questions you asked in your most recent posts are quite fascinating) do you have any…[Read more]

Awesome! I tested out the profiles and they seem to be working on my end as well.

How is the formatting? Is it still wonky on your end?

@grcr @jonas @trailblazer @highscribeofaetherium @everyonewhohasbeenhavingtroublewiththeirprofilepictures

So, I made some changes to the site, and the profiles seem to be working again! Let me…[Read more]

Yes! I’m indeed alive!

Sorry for leaving all of you guys hanging, I’ve been out of the country for the past month and haven’t had access to a computer until now.

Glad to be back, but not so glad that the KP site appears to be having some issues lol. Well, hopefully, soon that won’t be the case!

Again, thank you Axiom, and…[Read more]

Huh, there definitely seems to be a problem with the programming in the back end of the site that’s causing all these profile image issues.

I’ll see what I can do and hopefully, profile pictures will be back working smoothly again soon! Thanks for letting me know about this!

Awesome! I apologize for all the trouble. Happy to have you back and posting again!

I love these conversations as well!

I wanted to make sure I didn’t ghost you and just let you know that I’m planning on and looking forward to writing a response very soon, but I’ve been a bit offline as of late since I got a new job.

So yeah, I look forward to continuing the conversation! I’ll be back soon with many questions…[Read more]

I haven’t read the Story Embers books, but I’ve always loved the movie. Like you mentioned, it always had this mystery and “awe” feeling surrounding the whole world and story.

It’s interesting how you bring up the sequels being a let down, as I think creativity plays a part in why so many sequels fail to hold candle to the…[Read more]

Totally! Look forward to reading your thoughts.

“Not that a story about a space rabbit that can make trombone noises can’t be interesting if written well, but simply that you’ll often find at this point that everything else has been sacrificed to make the story unique. This isn’t creativity at all, but the oppos…

Thank you for your response!

I must admit that I have limited knowledge about Mormonism and its principles and history, so I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and perspective on the subject.

I guess the whole concept of Mormonism is hard for me to grasp because it just doesn’t make sense to me on a fundamental level. God…[Read more]

I’ve recently been inspired to write about and discuss with you guys the “creative” part in “creative writing”. So here it goes.

Ever since I had learned how to read and jumped into the world of fiction, my main disappointment and annoyance came from how boring and pre…[Read more]

I’ll be praying! 💜

idk man, just by characters alone I feel like this is going to be the novel of the year.

Also, I hope nothing bad happens to Harold. He seems like a cool guy.

Hey, so I know I’m interjecting a bit into this conversation, but since I saw you talking about The Church of Latter Day Saints (or Mormonism) I was wondering if I could ask a few nagging questions I have about it.

Mainly about this Joseph Smith guy, and more specifically his legitimacy. Since the whole Church of Latter Day…[Read more]

I got some questions about what the forum guidelines are, and although we have a page regarding guidelines under the “Community” tab on the site, I thought it would be helpful to also have a pined post right here on the forum to make it more easily assessable.

This will also make it so that there is a place for people to ask any…[Read more]

She can totally join! The age rule isn’t super strict, so as long as she’s around Thirteen she can join.

Great! Best of luck with the project!

I find doing a character brain dump helps a lot with fleshing out who this character is within my mind while also helping me get ideas going. So like taking a few pieces of paper, and without restriction or too much thought, freely writing down anything and everything that comes into my head about this character.

Appearance,…[Read more]

The thing that gives me the most and best plot ideas is really getting to know the story’s main characters. Like really getting to know them. Knowing them to the point to which they feel like real breathing people.

Get to know their dreams, fears, greatest loves, biggest regrets, the most consequential moments of their life, their…[Read more]

I’ll see if I can do something! Thanks for letting me know!

Your friends might be on to something. The words choices and flow of the poem has such an enthralling, I don’t know… texture to it?

Something about the poem feels so alive and playful. I really like it. Especially the last three lines. They are perfection.

Yo, this looks really cool! I have much respect to writers who create maps for their worlds, as its something I still aspire to do, haha.

If I had any suggestions it would to maybe make the names of each of the places on the map unique to your own world, history, and cultures.

Names like “Greenwood” and “Snowy Mountains” could be…[Read more]

Cool! I’ve been thinking about writing some articles as well, as I’ve had a few epiphanies and pressing thoughts while writing recently…

Anyways, as for you question, honestly the best answer I can give you is to write about something you are most captivated by at the moment. Has there been anything related to writing pressing…[Read more]

Huh, I guess it’s not 2022 anymore lol.

But yeah, the real date is March 30th 2023 not 2022. Thanks for the heads up! Will be sure to correct it in future newsletters. 🙂

The members who critique and the members who get their work critiqued are one and the same! When you are a part of the group, the only requirement is to edit one teammate’s work a month, but you can post as many or as few works of your own as you like to get critiqued.

So basically you and your teammates are critiquing each other’s…[Read more]

Thanks for letting me know! I’ll get on the issue post-haste. 👍

@katthewriter , @abigail-m , Rachel Lietch and I have been working on it together for some time now so we are really excited to finally have the news out. 😮‍💨

Anyways, I thought I’d make a post for anyone…[Read more]

Ooo, I’ll have to look into that! I love seeing different creative ways of doing writing challenges and contests.

Nice nice. I look forward to seeing your thoughts!

I did little research about New York (Specifically New York City) in the year 1899 and here’s…[Read more]

Cool! Here’s some tips that have helped me with article writing:

1. Write about something that is meaningful or has personal significance to you.

2. Before writing ask yourself: “What problem am I trying to solve?” this will help guide your research and writing.

3. Brain dump every and all thoughts and ideas you have on the subject…[Read more]

Thank for letting me know about this! The guy that created that post was indeed a bot. He and his post are now off the site.

Thanks again for letting me know!

Best of luck on your project!

If you pull it off in an interesting, believable way I think it could be quite the opposite of cheesy. I think it all comes down to how you execute it.

Oh my gosh, these lists are amazing! Thank you so much for your input! This really helps me so much, you guys are the best.

If they’re comfortable and open, it would be wonderful to get their insights and understanding for an article on the subject!

I’ve heard from Autistic people online that autism is often misconstrued in media like books and movies. It’s one of many topics that a simple google search isn’t enough for. So if they are cool with it, an…[Read more]

Woah, you’re really well versed in the KP catalogue.

And the list of articles wrote out is super helpful. While I know what articles have stood out to me, I really wanted to see which articles resonated with the rest of the community.

Thanks for the input! I relate to what you said about being better able to understand the article’s message and points when they are specifically unpacking a particular movie or book. Plus, it’s fun to read about your favorite books and movies.

However, I think you may have misinterpreted my question. But that’s on me! After…[Read more]
