Greetings, Alia! Welcome to the Kingdom Pen forum! I also am a homeschooler. I think most of us here are. 🙂
Well… LoTR is my number one favorite story ever, but I haven’t read the Wormling series. What… is it, exactly? Fantasy, Scifi, what?

Well, I haven’t seen Doctor Who, but I have seen Star Wars, and I can tell you right now Star Wars is…[Read more]

Hahahahaha! Oh, lovely, Ezra, lovely! What about your middle name? That didn’t get a place on the list?

I got it to work! Thanks! Not comments, but highlighted text, so your document will be coming back to you full of red holes, Hope. 😛

Okay. That’s a good way to look at it, Daeus. I like that.

@David— Exactly! Government is instituted by God for the protection of the people. It is a blessing. It is something we should cherish and obey.
But… those verses speak generally of government— the concept of government, of being governed, if you will. They speak of government AS…[Read more]

@David— Hornblower is an absolutely fantastic movie series by A&E. It’s a swashbuckling adventure series set in the Napoleonic wars, and starring Ioan Gruffud.

And… I hope I spelled his name right. The same guy that played William Wilberforce in ‘Amazing Grace’, if you’ve seen that one. Rosey asked because the name of Horatio Hornblower’s…[Read more]

Thanks Hope and Amanda! Oh boy Hope, I completely know what you mean about being practically everything in a production! I’ve never actually done a movie (we don’t have a video camera) but I’ve done plays, and I know what that’s like, believe me.
So you answered a lot of questions I had.
But… I’m never out of questions. That is both a good…[Read more]

Hello after all these weeks. I’m now in the business of resurrecting dead topics. Morbid? Perhaps.

But I’m reading through Ecclesiastes right now, and I came across this passage:

‘Where the word of a king is, there is power; and who may say to him “What are you doing?”
He who keeps his commands will experience nothing harmful; and a wise man’s…[Read more]

Haha! Lovely!

Hm… I wonder what the trash pickup thinks of that…

Yes! I do that too. It’s really cool, actually.

Okay. Gotcha. Thanks for the tips.

Has anyone here ever directed a play or a movie or something? Cause I’m looking for tips about directing, and working with actors, particularly actors who may not want to be actors (aka siblings) or actors who are too shy to make a fool of themselves in front of everybody else, which is basically all acting is.…[Read more]

Um…um…um… okay, I’m fiddling with it, and I’ll fiddle around until I find something to make it work. Thanks!

Oh and also, Hope, will the document allow me to write in it? Is it not specified as read only? I suppose I could always try it and see… but will it let me save anything I type in it?

Hum. That sounds like it makes sense. I’ll try it. And if it doesn’t work, you’ll know, because I’ll be back on here screaming for help. 😛

Okay, one more question. I got the document, Hope, and I started reading it, only to discover that I have zero clue how to comment on a WordPad file. Help me please? Anyone who knows how or even if this can be done? I will be forever in your debt…

Wait— you and KP are splitting ways, Daniel? What did I miss?!?! What dreadful things follow such a drastic and astonishing announcement?

I haven’t listened to the podcast yet— maybe you mentioned it there. I’ll probably get around to it tomorrow. Tuesdays are usually it for me.

I have seen that one— and personally, I didn’t like it as much as I was hoping I would. No disparagement to those who do— it just wasn’t as great for me as I was expecting. I liked the book a million times better.

A lot of it probably has to do with the fact that I’m completely spoiled when it comes to actors… my parents have always been…[Read more]

Thank you, Daeus. The… hm… hypothetical guy I referenced is generally a pretty laid back, cheerful, happy personality, who likes to joke and tease and make people look at him like he’s crazy. Not that he doesn’t feel grief as keenly as the next person, but he chooses to make light of it because being grumpy about it won’t change anything. When…[Read more]

Some of these questions have been answered already, but essentially the original concept of Kingdom Cinema died because of a lack of submissions. I’ve kind of re-branded aspects of it in starting up my writing advice video series that airs once a month, but we are still open to submissions.

Too cloudy.

Okey dokey. I did it. Thanks so much, Hope. I’m really looking forward to this. I read the first paragraph you had up on your blog, and… well… I’m hooked. You caught me. That can be a good thing, or that can be a bad thing. It depends upon your perspective, I suppose. 😉

I like it too. 🙂
Okay, I talked to my mom, and she says we’ll have time for it. I can’t make any promises as to when I will have it finished for you, but hopefully it should be before the end of the year. We’re just starting to get back into homeschool after welcoming our tenth sibling into the home 😀 so the schedule is going to be really,…[Read more]
