@DaughteroftheKing *grins* That actually happens to me a lot… XD

@Kate-flournoy <i>I</i> like cheesecake, ok?

@emma-flournoy Ha… yes. I have so many books I’ve promised that to. *sighs* Someday.

@jess Thanks. *grins* @Kate-flournoy designed the cover. We likes it very much.

@DaughteroftheKing in fact… you said something really good that I want to elaborate on, because you hit on an entirely different aspect of the discussion. Without meaning to, I think, but now you know. 😀
See, you can have the most contradictory and duplicitous character in the world and still have them fall utterly flat. They have to live and…[Read more]

Very sound advice, @DaughteroftheKing. 🙂

You said cheesecake on purpose. *scowls*

That aside… EVERYTHING IS AWESOME. You already know what I think of this story so I won’t do a full meltdown here. But guys, Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairytale, and this is just… I love it so much. You should definitely read it.

@Hope

@Ethryndal fellow elf, now you know me. XD

@The-Happy-Bookaholic Confession… I’m not on here as much as I’d like either, due to work and time, so I’m not terribly sure who is all active. I picked the names I recognized as friends from when I used to be on here more. 🙂

Great points, @Ethryndal.

@DelightinLife everything @Daeus said. 😛

I will add that you probably shouldn’t worry too much about developing your own voice, because it will develop by itself as you grow in confidence and knowledge. Especially if you focus in on the more nitty gritty aspects of writing, like the prose itself— what makes prose delightful and engaging; what…[Read more]

@DelightinLife wow… that is an impossible question. :”D

Top three favorite books… Well, I’m going to go with stories because one’s a trilogy. *winkwink* Les Miserables,…[Read more]

I agree with @bethanysinkyroses; a smaller handout – a notecard or even business card size would be nice to give to friends. I think the brochure is great for someone who doesn’t know about Kingdom Pen but I’m picturing the audience for the smaller handout is someone who is already interested because they just had an excited friend tell them how…[Read more]

Oh good. I was getting tired of all those ‘hey lets tag all the people’ emails that I kept getting. Thank you KP staff! *saluteths*.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 aha. My mistake. 😉

@Daeus that’s awful. I will definitely be praying.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 ooooh, I love it! Very nice. It could almost be a poem if you rearranged it. 😀

One thing— plot hole alert. If the Warden created the gene, how old is he for there to be really, really old people in the prison? Or were they not inheritors of the gene, but the first experiments?

@Emily-D wow… what an enormous question. 😛

Lemme take a stab at answering it coherently. First step, I would say, is figuring out the contradictions of your character.
For instance, everyone has something that they want. For the sake of conversation, let’s say I want pie. But then, everyone also has something that they need— and most of…[Read more]

@Anne-of-Lothlorien Yep. XD They’re like ‘everyone do something’ and I’m like… do what?
