Hey. Look. I’m not going to say you’re an amazing writer, but I am going to say that if you like writing and if it’s something you enjoy then it’s a gift. It’s a gift from God.
He’s blessed you with that gift and you don’t have to be a higher standard, a better writer, as good as ‘so-and-so’, because He’s given you the gift in exactly…[Read more]

@Daeus Yay! *lemonade and cheesecake for all*
I definitely prefer “Awestruck to see that in dark the lights dance”.

‘Most comely he smiled’ is better
And little Teedletiden he fashioned for the trees
For all of these a city, Letharill, he made
Its glory was established that it should never fade[ I’m unsure about the meter in these last three lines, especially lines 1 and 3.]Maybe instead: ‘And little Teedletiden he fashioned for trees

@Daeus Thanks.
Well, you’d better come up with an epic soundtrack for it then. 😉

Emma Flournoy replied to the topic Song for my book in the forum Poetry Critiques 6 years, 9 months ago
@Daeus Oh hey, could I have it in a doc too? I was going to do it without one, but that sounds a much more efficient option.
I don’t write poetry, but I certainly appreciate good poetry, especially with good cadence. That’s my favorite part.
I read through it, and it’s beautiful, and I do have some metrical suggestions.
Also, I feel compelled…[Read more]

Jane Maree replied to the topic Facebook in the forum Publishing & Platform 6 years, 9 months ago
@Dragon-snapper I’ve recently started up a facebook page too, and I’m just learning the ropes. I normally share all my blog posts on there, and some updates on my WIPs (though I should do that more). I’m thinking of doing a ‘Saturday Snippets’ sort of thing where I share a piece of writing every Saturday, etc.
Other than that, I also second…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 Yay!!! Congratulations, and may you reap the goodness of KP for many more years. 😉 D’ye remember our first conversation? It was regarding Luke Skywalker and whether or not he’s whiny. XD

@That_Writer_Girl_99 I’m so so happy that you checked out the ‘too good to be true’ forum. This place wouldn’t be the same without epic people like you to spread some happiness and friendly words of encouragement and advice.
Seriously, girl. You’re amazing. <3

@Dekreel This is great. XD And I agree with @ClaireC, the small installments are nice; makes it easier to read and in one sitting. 😉
@PerfectFifths If you really could cut in perfect fifths that would be quite a feat.

Jane Maree replied to the topic Book Recommendations in the forum Book Discussions 6 years, 9 months ago
Dekreel Recommendations on their way. 😛
Steampunk
– The Rithmatist (Brandon Sanderson)
– Storming (K. M. Weiland)Both excellent books, and really really good.
Sci Fi
(a very broad genre so it depends exactly what you’re looking for?)– Insignia (S.J. Kincaid) (not the most amazing book, in my opinion, but okay)
– The Lunar Chronicles…[Read more] -

Hullo peeps, I have a message from our historic forum doctor, @BlueJay, whom many of you remember but I can’t remember everyone who remembers her plus I’m only allowed ten tags so feel free to tag other people if you want. 😉
I email with her sometimes, hence the message. She says to tell you the forum doctor’s on vacation, and enjoying the hot…[Read more] -

@Jenwriter17 I haven’t actually read any of those books, but I looked them up and read friends’ reviews to get an idea.
Defier – I’ve checked with a friend who read this and it’s perfectly clean content-wise.
Swipe – Several friends have enjoyed it and didn’t mention anything about bad content
Last Light – Also clean, by report of trustworthy…[Read more]

Also, @BlueJay said she’s been having a deficit of good ideas for writing lately, and if any of you have any spare good ideas she’d love them. She still gets emails when she’s tagged. Anything’s welcome, but especially ones more on the cute short story side of things. So just in case. 😉
Thanks for tagging me, Emma. How is she doing? I think about her sometimes (and wonder if she ever got my edits for her Golden Conch story?). Tell her hi for me! *waves*
Oh, you edited The Golden Conch too? I didn’t know that. That’s a fun one. 😀 I can ask her if she ever got the edits.
Yeah, I couldn’t remember for sure if you were around when she was but I was pretty sure. 😉
She’s doing well, as far as I know… She recently won best film/best actress awards for a short film she made for a film festival, so…[Read more]
Noice! Do you know if she’ll be coming back to Kingdom Pen sometime?
I don’t know. She said she’d love to sometime, but I don’t really know much about it. We can hope. 😉
Yep. 🙂
Here, her reply to you:
‘ I think so, but I will have to check. I’m still working on it, so if you want to send them through again, I’ll probably still use them. ‘
Okay, I will probably do that. 😉
@emma-flournoy BlueJay is Australian?! Huh! I didn’t know that…
Anyway, now that I know that she still gets emails… Can I pass a message to her?
Hiya, @bluejay! I’m Dekreel! 😀 We haven’t met yet, but I am aware of the circumstances, so oddly enough, I miss you! XD So, when you return, expect a greeting from me like we’d always known each…[Read more]
Thanks Dekreel. *grins* I’m sure she’s loving your enthusiastic response. Thanks for the story ideas too. 😉 I don’t know what she thinks of any of them, but if she says anything about ’em I’ll pass it on. 😉
BlueJay says ‘can’t wait until I get to meet you properly. ‘
😀
Oh, that’s great @emma-flounoy! She was the first person to welcome me, and one of the best friends I’ve ever had here. Please say hi from me, and that I miss her. 🙂 Also I’m glad she’s enjoying the hot weather, ’cause I’m not. 😛
@emma-flournoy.
Heh, I don’t enjoy hot weather either. XD Happily for us it won’t be Summer for quite a bit yet over here.
I’ll definitely tell her. 😀
Thanks, girl. 😉 @emma-flournoy
She says: ‘ I’m missing you too. I’d be happy to email with you if you want. ‘ 😉
Oh good! We were going to exchange emails when she was here, but my mum was ‘thinking about it’ and we missed the opportunitiy. I’ll ask her again. 🙂 @bluejay @emma-flournoy
Great!
Sure thing, I will. 😀 Thanks.
@BLUEJAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yesssss, you will get this message! I MISS YOU, girl! It’s hard being substitute doctor around here, especially since there’s so much ice cream going around.
Uh, writing ideas. Right. Do something about puppies. Maybe a man who’s deaf with a dog assistant. From the dog point of view?
Or a story about a…[Read more]
Woah. Um, @bluejay, I think @dragon-snapper just gave you the highest compliment possible for her to give.
An unmelted chair, AND phone, AND chocolate! Impressive!
Yeah, impressive. XD O.K., her message to you, Snapper:
@dragon-snapper *sinks gratefully into chair and types message on phone while eating chocolate* it’s a good life.
I really like the idea about the guide dog from it’s perspective.
I shall have to think about the pizza idea for a bit. 🙂
@Winter-Rose From BlueJay: ‘I like your ideas. Very cute. ‘
Aww, I was just thinking about her the other day. She was the first one who welcomed me when I came on here as a scared little elfling, and it was the warmest greeting ever. Say hello for me. We miss her.
I shall indeed.
