The fledgling Artist

@seekjustice I’m going to sleep soon, but not quite yet. 😉

*hugs Bobert* Ohh, I missed him!  Hm, do you think I’m a bad guardian for letting him use a time travel machine and travel through time and across the oceans by himself?  After all, he is only five years old.  Intelligent for his age, yes, but still pretty young.  Just a thought. :P…[Read more]

@seekjustice I am around, but it’s very late! 😀  I got home this evening but didn’t mention it because I wasn’t planning to write.  Really missed talking to you though!

Did you take good care of Bobert?  And, could you send him back now?

How did your trip go?

Are your arms completely better yet, or are you still having trouble typing?  Is edi…[Read more]

@rochellaine I could not agree with you more!  That is what I was trying to say about the light and darkness.  For a Christian writer, his stories have to much darkness with not enough light, or light of the right kind.

@rochellaine Oooh, that’s a tough one. Ariella would rather be invisible, Adrian as well. Cadenza is very extroverted and needs social interaction, so she would rather be a celebrity. Besides, everyone who she might have liked has died, both friends and family members. (Oh, that got dark really quickly…) Brynna would rather be invisible. I’ll…[Read more]

@notawriter I would guess that Raine is just pronounced ‘rain’, but an author could pronounce it however they like, honestly. 😛

Welcome back, @dekreel! *jumps up and down excitedly*

I feel like I’ve deserted, KP, SE, and Aetherlight… ’cause, ya know, life happens. 🙁

But I will never forget!!! I’ll try my very hardest to pop in more often! 😀

@warrenluther04  Welcome back!! Yeah, I’ll accept you back. AS LONG AS YOU STAY LOYAL! 😉

I think The Kingdom of Pen and the… what do you call that place… what, Embria? Emberland? Um… 😛 Anyway, I think the two should be separate, but still associated with each other. Like frenemies. Maybe. I don’t know.

I like the network of islands idea!

And @kaya-young , could you amend Til We’re Old and Gray? It’s not only women in Writer’s Corner anymore….  Thanks! I haven’t fully deserted, after all. XD :)*swishes tail* *chases a squirrel*

Guys, guys, guys. I have a solution.

The Kingdoms can both coexist next to each other. 🙂 I mean, SE can be a network of islands (the Guilds) and KP can be the beautiful lush Island we know it to be. 🙂 Does that work? (I sure hope it does cuz I’m writing stuff like that in my series.) 🙂

@dekreel

Hullo, Dekreel! Our friendly neighborhood Chasm Beast is back! Yipee! *howls in happiness* 😀 😀 😀

I, too, feel like I’ve kinda … deserted …

… the

… Kingdom…

*cries* ☹️😭😭

Will you guys accept me back? Please????? I’m still here peeps! The golden retriever lives!

Oh, and I’m still working on my KP series.…[Read more]

@alia I will keep praying for your sister.  I know the ups and downs of medical issues are hard from my experience helping care for my grandmother, who has been better and worse for the past few years.  Is your sister’s head better by now?

@ariel-ashira I’m sorry! 🙁  I’ll pray for your friend.

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 @kaya-young @daughteroftheking @alia @dekreel @ariel-ashira

Oh, I completely agree with you all!!  Kingdom Pen is an amazing place to grow as a writer and a great community for a Christian.  I have raved to my mom several times about how everyone here is so kind and friendly and sweet to each other.  Everywhere else on…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira I don’t like darkness, but I also believe there is a place for darkness in stories as long as there is light alongside it to show the right way.  Without light no one would realize when they are in darkness.  In the same way a story without any darkness is too fluffy and there’s no point in it.  I just think Josiah has gone a bit to…[Read more]

@rochellaine Josiah’s stories do have a lot of darkness with not much if any light to combat it.  Some of them are a little too scary and maybe gory, like when they torture people.  (I am kind of a wimp.)  But I think his short stories explore human motivations, not instruct moral decisions.  And they sure leave me thinking!  I do like how his…[Read more]

Guys, I really can’t tell you how much KP means to me! *tears*  It has brought light during one of the darkest times of my life.  You are the best friends I have ever had!  I couldn’t ask for better.  Thank you God!

Which brings me to a prayer request.  I have a friend I knew in Alaska, when we were both little.  We were god friends then,  but it…[Read more]

@alia  Praying for your sister!

@seekjustice  @daughteroftheking  You guys are making my heart feel so warm right now!

I am so blessed to have found this wonderful place! Even as our numbers deteriorate, I’m so glad I have found a community like this. I can’t imagine where my life would be right now if I hadn’t started participating. Even if I’…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I have seen authors that do that.  Or use their full first name, and then middle and last name letters (like: Esther M.W.).

Piggybacking on what @daughteroftheking said:

You know you are a writer when you wish there was a way to test if a knife or sword is actually stained red after someone stabs somebody… without hurting someone.

@jenwriter17 Personally, I am going to use my real name unless my parents forbid me to, which I don’t think they will.  (They are pretty protective too, and felt more comfortable with me using a pen name here.)  I guess I just like my real name as much as Ariel Ashira, and I want people to know me by it.  My last name is different than most, so pe…[Read more]

@rochellaine Thank you!  And you don’t have to hurry with the Declaration.  We can wait.

@dekreel *hands you a hankerchief already stained with raspberry blood tears* 🙂
