The fledgling Artist

@jenwriter17 @dekreel @rochellaine @ariella-newheart @alia I’m here working a blog post. Anyone around?

@jenwriter17 Horse training? That’s cool. My sister takes riding lessons, and I take art lessons from the same lady who teaches her. 😛

Are you still researching character names?

Nope, I’m just catching up on emails before I head off to get some actual writing done. The names I decided on are Neela and Lorcan. Lorcan is a scribe with…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Yeah, for a little longer. I was able to find names for two characters of mine. 😀

What are you researching?

@jenwriter17 *waves* I’m doing research, too.

@ariella-newheart @dekreel @jenwriter17 I’m here now. Working on a story for writers’ club tomorrow. 🙂

@jenwriter17  Same here. I miss all the inside jokes going on. I feel like Story Embers is so busy that there are several different friend circles. But maybe it just feels overwhelming because I’m not as active there as I was in KP when it was still a big thing.

I’d better get going, too. I have work to finish up. Good to see you!

@ariella-newheart  Or we could tag Ace, I suppose. XD 

Congrats!! I should probably do some work myself.

Having a separate computer with no internet to write on is actually an ingenious idea. Aether be with you!! 😉

Well now I’m curious. @xonos-darkgrate, did you ever tell Aislinn that you masqueraded as Ariella that one time we were on her Em…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  I mean they could have just updated KP so it was for writers of all ages. *shrug*

@dekreel Huh, I’ll have to ask Ace about that. Or maybe we should tag Xonos here to ask him ourselves. 😉

*glances at screen, jumps up from chair* YES, I finished French! That was…relatively painless. Appareil photo and quatre-vingt dollars will haunt my dreams, but at least I sort of understand. xD

@jenwriter17

Wow. How far are you through…

[Read more]

@jenwriter17  I’m okay.

 We are just determined not to let everyone leave KP, lol.

Yeah, that just about sums it up.

What I want to know is, why did Josiah make a totally new website instead of just updating Kingdom Pen? That’s never made sense to me.

@ariella-newheart  Thanks. I KNOW, I KNOW!! I’m still headdesking about it because it was SO OBVIOUS it was him! I even remember being a tiny bit suspicious! X’D I wonder if he’s told Ace about it. She’d flip.

I miss him. . . I miss everyone. . . o,.o

Yeah, it’s super helpful. 😀

 Err, am I allowed to speak the name of that place here?

I think so. 😉

@dekreel Yeah, I do remember! *searches through notes* If this is correct, we had that conversation on January 21st, 2018. Waitaminute, Xonos did WHAT? And he succeeded? That’s crazy! xD

Ooh, I think I’ve heard of the concept of pomodoro timers before, just not the actual name. That does sound helpful.

@jenwriter17 Yes, it is awesome. When I…[Read more]

Hey, @jenwriter17! How’s it going?

@ariella-newheart  Ohh. . . yeah, I don’t like chemistry either. 😛

Hey, I took screenshots of that entire conversation after it was over. . . so yeah, I don’t blame you. Thanks for remembering the date by the way. 😀

Remember that other time we and Xonos were on Ace’s doc? Do you know what day that was? Also fun fact, after you left, Xonos…[Read more]

Hello, @jenwriter17 ! Good to see you again!

@dekreel I really don’t like chemistry. Despite my alter-ego’s penchant for making smoke bombs and other strange concoctions, my brain just can’t understand that stuff. My least favorite subject used to be pre-calculus, but it’s getting easier as I go along.

Did I really say that?

Yes, you did! I have the evidence. I even know the day that the…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart  I’m glad!

I don’t know. It’s not that I don’t like the subjects, it’s that I’m afraid I can’t get them done. Overall I guess I like economics the worst. What’s yours?

Did I really say that? XD Fun fact: One time I put some of my favorite books and toys in a box and told myself that I would not open it until I was done with s…[Read more]

@dekreel Yeah, you make a good point. That reassures me a little.

What is your least favorite subject in school?

Y’know, I still remember when we first met on Ace’s doc and I asked you for advice on procrastination. Your advice was to lock my books up in a case and tell myself I could read them after I finished my writing project. 😛

I don’t t…

[Read more]

@ariella-newheart  I feel you. One thing I have to keep reminding myself is that you don’t come to college to refine current skills, but to learn skills you want to learn. A lot of people go into college not knowing how to do something. So yeah, I don’t know if that helps (probably not), but it’s something I like to remember.

I’m paranoid that I…[Read more]

@dekreel

College is coming up and I’m pretty terrified.

Same for me, actually. I’m terrified that I won’t know enough and that I won’t be able to transition well…

I just finished The Blue Sword last night. It was SO VERY good. I would highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t read it already.
