Aww, yes! Breaks are so nice!!! I hope you enjoy yours. You deserve one! 😉 <333

Hey, there! How are you?

Yes, I’ve been on several adventures in the past year(ish), the most exciting of which was joining The Author Conservatory. I’ve worked on two WIPs with them:

• a non-magical fantasy retelling of Gideon… but with pirates 😉
• the story of David and Goliath but told from the view of David’s oldest br…

*sniffles* *sobs* MY LIL BOY. He’s so precious and so BROKEN!!! He needs someone in his life to hug him 😭

And yes *sniffles again* Leon, too.

AGH, FREEDOM!!! OH MY GOODNESS, this is AMAZING!!! Congratulations!!! *showers you with confetti and celebratory brownies* Seriously amazing work. So proud of you, friend!

How was the editing process?

Ooo… wonderful idea… Thank you so much for tagging me!

@joy-calle

Hey, Joy! Good to see you!

I’m honored…

@trailblazer @acancello

aww, thank you! And don’t worry; this scene is sticking around for a while. Unless I ditch the novel, in which case I will recycle said scene. I love it very much, hehe. 😉

@savannah_grace2009

Aww!!! That’s so sad and yet so sweet. Great work!

Reinforcements have arrived.

here is the most romantic thing I have ever written.

Let the gagging begin. *cackles*

@everyone else

Here’s this! I wrote it a while back, so it needs edited. I thought I’d throw it out anyway, tho. 😉

The door gave way easily, letting Emmett out into the open air. He could hear the soft burbling of the…

Aww, I love that! Agh, congratulations again. This is so amazing. XD

And *huggles poor Ryker* The poor baby!! ;-;

*SREEEAAAAAAMMMMMs*

YES YES YES YES YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!

Aggggghhhhhhh, Freedom!!!! Oh my goodness!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

*wild happy dance*

pardon the excitement; I shall act like an adult now XD

*ahem*

Seriously, I am so proud of you! You’ve pushed through so much and worked so hard, and it has PAID OFF! Finishing a novel is…[Read more]

Hurrah!!!! Enjoy writing this new story!

Agh, oh no… Sending you many hugs, friend! I hope and pray this season ends soon so you can enjoy some rest and sunshine. ❤️

One of my friends from The Author Conservatory is doing a fundraiser for Rapha International, and I wanted to share it with you all.

Rapha International provides healing, hope, and freedom to girls rescued from trafficking. From today until the 5th, my friend will be donating all of the proceeds from…[Read more]

Ah, yes, sunlight… So nice after a winter of being stuck inside doing schoolwork. XD

How has your summer been?

Just read your first chapter to this. AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! SO GOOD!!! He’s such a sweet brother, omw…

Hi! I’m horribly late, but cheering you on with your WIP!!! How’s it going?

this is horribly late, but that is such a fun concept!!! Have you started writing it?

Oooo, how fancy! XD I hope you enjoy it!

I work at an orchard! It’s really nice because it’s time outside, not using the creative side of my brain. With how much effort Author takes, it’s a huge blessing to be able to turn my brain on autopilot for a while.😂

Yes, I agree; Biblical fiction is a weighty challenge to take on. The amount of research and study that has to go into it is one of the reasons I’m holding off on trying it. I want to make sure I have the basic writing skills down before I try to write something that hard. 😉 Hence, Biblical retellings! Since it’s a retelling, I hav…[Read more]

Thank you very much! I can’t wait to see your ideas. 😉

That sounds very therapeutic and highly enjoyable. I approve. XD

Oof, yes, I get that. Same here. I need to finish my novel by the end of July, so I’ve got to figure out how to balance that and starting work full time(ish). When does work start for you? Where are you working?

*screams*

LOOK AT YOU GO, GIRLLLLLL!!!!! Aghhhh, I am so excited for you!!!🎉❤️ You have really put your heart into this story, and I am so proud of you for pushing through!

*showers you with confetti and brownies*

• Judges 6-8 meets Treasure Island.  In other words, this is Gideon with pirates. XD This is also my current WIP that I’m writing as part of the Author Conservatory, and I’m IN LOVE. I’ll make a post and share about it somewhere.
• The book of Esther…

Love all of these story ideas!!! I love all the creativity. 😀

Agh, you poor thing!!! How’d they go? Goodness, I hope you’re on break now. With all of that craziness, you deserve some time to rest! 😅

Once again, I come prancing in several months late… *facepalm*

Aww, I can understand that. If you ever get the chance to join, though, I can’t recommend the program highly enough! I’ve only been a part of it for 4 months, and I already feel like I got my money’s worth. 😆

And thank you! I just got graduated to drafting last we…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Hey! I’m doing well! 😀 I joined The Author Conservatory in January, and that has been beyond amazing! The novel I’m working on for that is a retelling of the story of Gideon but with pirates. 😉

How are you? What have you been working on?

Hey! So good to “see” you!!! 😀

Aww, that sounds so fun! I’m not sure I’ll be able to help, though, I’m sorry. I’ve got a pretty full plate right now. Wishing you the best!!! I can’t wait to see what’s next for Russel and Eliza! *confetti*

I’ve been wondering the same thing. I haven’t heard about any changes or seen any announcements. Granted, I haven’t been very active either.

Most of the crew that was active when I started isn’t around much anymore. The activity is mostly carried on by the latest members. I haven’t seen Isabelle or Kaitlyn or Natalie or Gracie…[Read more]

I’m sorry, I haven’t read any of her books! I’ve heard really great things about the Christy Miller series, though. I’ll have to check it out. 😁

Poor Jon… :’(

I actually haven’t worked with Adrian much, so I don’t know him very well yet (That sounds absolutely ridiculous, but since you’re a writer, I’m sure you’ll understand😂). From what I know now, he’s very loyal and protective. He’d rather be anywhere (read: hunting, dueling, riding, shooting (his bow), etc.) than the th…[Read more]

Aww, thank you! 🙂

@freedomwriter76

Aww, I’m glad!!! Christmas is such a lovely time of year. <333

That’s totally fair! There are book I can’t get into either (the current book being “North and South,” which I’m reading for school… *sigh*).

Bahaha!!! WE ALL LOVE RYKERRRRRRRR… *squeezes him (lovingly)* Speaking of him…[Read more]

Hi! I haven’t been very active lately, and I’ve missed meeting a lot of people. 🙁 So, welcome to the KP forum!

1. Ringbearer

Yay, I’m the ringbearer! I wouldn’t miss the chance be an Elf.

Me either!!! Elves for the win! 😀

@esther-c

Hi! Nice to meet you, too! 🙂

Everton and Tyrone sound like characters I’d kidnap adopt…

3. Aragorn

I wasn’t sure for this one, but then I thought of Aragorn just as Aragorn as not as the way this one was describe, and was like, Oh, Grimm XD.

THERE HE IS!!!! I was waiting for my favorite to show up.

It’s been so long since I’ve been around. I’ve missed my fav charries! And Nyx sounds like a lot of fun.😂

Aww, you’re…[Read more]

Yeah, thank you for popping in! I read some of your writing in another topic, and I really enjoyed it. 🙂 It’s nice to meet you!

@freedomwriter76

FREEDOOOOOOOMMMM!!! *hugs you back* So glad to be chatting with you again! And I had a lovely Christmas, thanks for asking! How about you?

lol No problem! I’ve only ever listened to…[Read more]

I’m going to go with my Biblical fantasy project this time around; it’s a retelling of David. 🙂

Ring-bearer: I’d be an elf by choice but probably a hobbit due to my personality and size. I’m a homebody😂

Gandalf: Michael, the prophet to Aria. He’s the Samuel of my story.

Aragorn: Austin and Rodney (my Uriah and Joab…[Read more]

I have not been particularly active lately what with #adulting and all that, so I wanted to pop in and hang out with you all for a little bit. <3333

This is a modified blog tag that I’m borrowing from the lovely Sarah Baran at TheSarcasticElf.com (seriously, if you don’t follow her blog, go do that right now; it’s full of wit,…[Read more]

Agh, Biblical fiction, woohoo! That’s actually where my heart is when it comes to writing.

Personally, I have dreams of writing a historical fiction trilogy based on the life of Simon Peter. I prayed a lot about it, and I think it’s something the Lord wants me to do. Because of how huge a project it is (the amount of res…[Read more]

Wouldn’t it?? I feel like it’d make for some pretty epic battles. XD

That’s awesome! I watched a friend of mine play Mario on her DS several years ago. I think that’s all I’ve seen of that franchise. It sounds cool, though! 😀

I do both! When I’m brain-dumping, I write whatever scene is burning in my brain. I’ve exclusively been doing this lately, as I haven’t had much time for focused writing sessions. It’s relieving, and it keeps me from forgetting details or lines I want to add. When I’m actually writing, though, I usually go from beginning to end,…[Read more]

@ava-blue I will forever use the word boopable now. XDXDXD

@godlyfantasy12 AGH, THAT FIRST FOX PICTURE… *dreamy sigh*

That’s so neat! I’ve honestly thought about designing military vehicles based on the immune system’s cells. It’d make for some awesome sci-fi material. 😉

Ooo… I’ll have to get you to try it someday. It’s delicious!

Nice! I’ve never played any of the Mario games, but I bet they’re awesome. 😀

I’ve heard of that first book,…[Read more]

*sighs happily*

Beautiful, my friend. Simply beautiful.

Welcome to the KP forum!!! I’m Lydia, and due to my crazy schedule, I’m late to the party.😂 But welcome anyway!

I LOVE the defense mechanisms of the body!!! They’re fascinating. XDXD

Now for the introduction questions:

1. Pineapple pizza? Yea, or nay?

2. Favorite fictional character of all time?

3. Top three favorite books…[Read more]

I KINDA REALLY DISLIKE HANS…

But honestly, I kinda love him, too, in a strange, author-ly way… He’s an amazing villain. So twisted. I find him fascinating. XDXDXD

Thank you gals so much for sharing! Those are all awesome!!! (That one about punching someone in the nose… Oh my goodness, so funny!!!😂)

It’s so hard to figure out how to injure your characters without permanently disabling or killing them… XDXD

Anywho, here’s what I’ve got to share!

• Head wounds

Head wounds bleed A LOT and for a long time. A small cut in the forehead (probably no longer than an inch) by the hairline, caused by contact with a blunt object,…[Read more]

Lydia, here. 🙂 So, I thought it’d be fun to start an inspiration exchange thread!

This is a place where we can all dump interesting photos or dialog prompts we happen to find or come up with, and it’s also somewhere where we can resort to if we need inspiration! Post as many prompts/pictures as you’d like, but please make sure they…[Read more]
