@daeus I request chocolate covered pineapple.
@kate-flournoy When did raw cabbage become dessert?

I don’t know what the chosen ones should do, @daeus, but the bumbling henchmen will probably try to poison everyone with coffee. 😂

@northerner The forum statistics show KP has 482 members (I discovered that information on the main forum page).🙂

@emma-flournoy Really? I liked Monsters University as much as Monsters, Inc. Hehe, maybe one of the reasons I liked it was because the ending implied a person doesn’t have to go to college to succeed. Did you know there’s a poster in Randall’s room that says “the winds of change” referencing that remark he made in Monsters, Inc?

Mariposa Aristeo replied to the topic What Is Your Favourite Tool To Use As A Writer? in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 2 months ago
@emily-d Britt Nicole is one of my favorite music artists! What are your favorite songs of hers? I like Newsboys also. Have you ever listened to any of Mandisa’s songs?

@emily-d That’s okay. 🙂
Well, to tell you the truth, I really haven’t read much poetry outside of Kingdom Pen. I love Cindy’s poetry though; she seems to make the words dance on the page. Probably my favorite poem of hers is “The Sound of Redemption.”
I dug through KP’s old posts and found your poem. It is beautiful! I love that last stanza esp…[Read more]

@aratrea Yay! I hope there’s still some cake left. The site looks awesome! Aberdeen gives you a high…oh…a low five. 😉
However, I noticed the staff and writing team pages look kind of disorganized on the desktop version, like I’m reading a bunch of newspaper ads. And then on the mobile version, the bios are in the wrong order (Michael is way…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy I have a friend who’s nuts about Monsters Inc. I recently finished a Monsters Inc. themed Christmas card for her. Do you like the prequel, Monsters University?

@ethryndal @kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy @dragon-snapper *innocently checks e-mail this morning* *gasps* *faints* NINETY-SEVEN UNREAD MESSAGES! You successfully gave Aberdeen a mini heart attack. Dee-Dee is giving him her paint pills to relieve the pain.
So who won the gif war?

@graciegirl @emma-flournoy Yeah, Pixar definitely failed with that one. Plus, the whole thing with the boy acting like a dog was weird. I have a feeling Pixar’s upcoming film, Coco, isn’t going to be any better.
I like Cars too, but not as much as I like Toy Story, Monsters Inc, or Finding Nemo. I think Cars 2 could have been better, but it w…[Read more]

@ethryndal Taking a break is one of the best things a writer can do when they’re stuck. I wrote two whole books which I ended up abandoning because of plot holes, but mainly because I was writing the way I thought I was supposed to write. I didn’t know what to do or where to go with my writing. I started writing a kooky story just for fun, and it…[Read more]

@glitter-ocelot Welcome to the goofiest place on the internet (I *cough* technically did not say it, @josiahdeboer). Me, my assistant (Aberdeen the authorosaurus), and his best friend, Dee-Dee the doodledactyl, greet you! I’m elated to find another glitter lover (I literally shed glitter everywhere I go). Do you like to draw/paint or make homemade…[Read more]

@graciegirl No worries, I know how notifications can get buried sometimes. 🙂
Thanks for your support! It might be a while before I finish it, I’ll let you know when I do. 🙂 I might work in it today (I’ve been meaning to work on it the last few days but somehow always ended up drawing instead). I’m a little nervous because the magazine is…[Read more]

@daeus I know I haven’t read your book, but I thought I might be able to at least help you with your title. 🙂 I like the second one best. I don’t much care for the last one; it sounds a little too unoriginal. If you want to convey time travel in the title though, none of these seem to show that. And I agree with what Josiah said about the first…[Read more]

@graciegirl and @that_writer_girl_99 I’m praying for everyone else in FL too. At least the damage doesn’t seem to be as bad as expected, which is a blessing. I hope Elizabeth gets power soon!

@delightinlife No, abstract art has never really been my thing. 🙂 I tend to lean towards more realistic for my pencils drawings and for paintings an almost yet not quite impressionistic style.
@dragon-snapper I’m proud to shake hands with another self-taught artist. Yes, hair is horribly hard. And hands. For a while, I could hardly handle hands.…[Read more]

@mariposa Thank you! 🙂 The thought did cross my mind-perhaps I will!
And yes, Cindy’s poetry is beautiful. 🙂
