@Shannon fire ants and rattlesnakes and salsa and Mexican restaurants. 😉

@Koryn-Koch Oooh–that’s the real question isn’t it? xD Burn has to be my favorite, followed by Wait for It and Satisfied.

@celticcailin Neat. Well, you picked a good time to join then since the past month was all about allegories. 😉 When do you think you’ll begin writing one?

@shannon For the past four years I’ve been attending Ketoctin OPC in Northern Virginia. I’m in the middle of moving to North Carolina right now, so I’ll be working on finding a new church family.

Welcome to the site @destiny! That’s really awesome that you do game design work and all. I played around some with that kind of stuff with MIT’s Scratch program, but never got into it enough to get to the level you’re at. 😛

Welcome to the site @joy! We actually have a bunch of articles on writer’s block since it was our monthly topic a couple years ago. You can find a list of them here: https://kingdompen.org/?s=writers+block Hope they help you as you try to figure out what you want to write!

Welcome to the site @Salome01w4g! Glad you found us. 🙂 What’s the premise of your current story?

Welcome to the site @celticcailin! Do you have a top idea for what book you want to write first?

@Mariposa so I see. 😛

@Destiny aww, thanks. 😀 Glad you liked it.

@Mariposa *chokes* *splutters* I— I think— I don’t think that’s what he said…! *dissolves into helpless laughter*
Olaf?

@Mariposa *folds claws primly* I’ll have you know I’m a very civilized dragon. I do not melt chairs.
@celticcailin did you… did you just give me permission to rant on psychology—? *is nice and restrains herself*
I’m Introvert all the way. I like people but most of the time they wear me out. 😛 Have you heard of Myers-Briggs Type Indicator? In…[Read more]

@Salome01w4g ha! 😀 Unfortunately, no. But she’s taller than I am and *coughs* more of an adult, so people usually think she’s older. 😉

Sweet! We’ve several historical fiction writers on here I do believe.

@Salome01w4g Hmm… not myself, but we do have a few historical fiction authors on here, so let me do some tagging for you.
@MarkMcGuire @WarrioroftheRealm @Northerner (though I realize your stuff is a lot older; still, any researching tips?).

@Salome01w4g welcome to the besti— oh wait. She beat me to it. *sigh*
WELCOME TO KINGDOM PEN. Yes, @Emma-Flournoy and I are sisters, and theoretically I’m the oldest. Theoretically.

And… *grins*… if you think that reply is long, you haven’t been hanging around this place long, have you? XD

Regardless, so glad to have you now. What do you…[Read more]

@Destiny I’m late to the party but welcome nonetheless. 😉 You compose music; that’s so cool! I adore music but I’m afraid most of my involvement has to do with just listening to the work of others. 😛 You’re an INFJ and you sound crazy so you should fit right in! I’m an INFP by the way. *grins* So good to have you.

@GracieGirl that’s awful. D: Definitely praying.

*folds claws patiently* Dearest Elizabeth, is there any reason to hide the insanity of this place from a new recruit? How else will she survive? @That_Writer_Girl_99

@celticcailin hellooooooo, fellow dragon! *initiates crazy dragon dance* So happy to have you here! As you can see, I’m a dragon too, and there are a few more floating around here somewhere. 😉 We also have an elf and some assorted unicorns… I think… it gets a little hard to keep track of after a while. XD

What’s your favorite of Lewis’s…[Read more]

@allison-grace Kate and Daeus already said a lot of things I would say, so the one thing I’ll add to this discussion is that, in my opinion, a lot of it depends on how central the allegorical elements of the story are to the story as a whole. If a lot of your story’s theme and message derives from the allegorical elements (placing it in the genre…[Read more]
