The fledgling Artist

@dragon-snapper Actually, that’s a great idea since I have a huge problem with buckling down and focusing on one project. 😮 🙂

If I wasn’t working on the ministry website I would definitely take you up on that, though I would probably lose. 😀

@rochellaine XD Word wars. I know you wouldn’t necessarily be able to do that now since you’re multitasking, but by trying to top each others word counts, there’s not necessarily room for too much talking. 😛

@dragon-snapper And I guess it’s my place to ask: What way is that, exactly? 😀

@rochellaine LOL! Oops, sorry. XD That makes more sense now. Yep. Basically. Hey I’m on the Writers Corner. You want to chat to?

There is one way to remedy our chatting though…

@dragon-snapper Oh, that’s not what I meant. 😀  It’s just a joking excuse that we use when we get too distracted.  We always come on here with the intent and purpose of writing, but when we get distracted we’ve got to have a reasonable excuse. 🙂

Because like you said, getting distracted here is way too easy!

@rochellaine Ooh, multitasking. Cool. *nods*

Hey! That is a cool idea! However, because some people–oldies such as myself–still need a place to go to write, we could keep the Writers’ Corner for those writers who are writing, editing, brainstorming or whatnot, and whilst we do that we can do what we always do. Then for when we’re not writing…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper I’m just getting started updating my parents’ ministry website, and in between that (because I like working on multiple things at the same time) I’m working on my western.

We definitely get distracting here!  But I’ve come up with a solution to that question, which I shared with a couple of others and they liked it: This is…[Read more]

@rochellaine Hi!

Daeus used to come on the writers’ corners quite often. Actually, I think they were originally his idea. I was around when the first one came into existence. Every now and then, Daeus will pop on here. …

Of course, we tend to be very distracting on here too. XD

And yep, sci-fi novel. Today thought, I’m editing the first…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Hi!  I’m here.

This may sound funny, but I’m wondering why you tagged Daeus?  I’ve never seen him on Writers’ Corner. 🙂  (To be fair, I’ve not been on KP for all that long, though.)

Are you working on your sci-fi novel again?

@rochellaine @alia @dekreel @daeus Anyone on?

@alia Okay, let’s see… 😀

I completely understand about trauma issues with adopted kids, obviously, since we’ve adopted so many.  My parents run a ministry counseling adoptive parents, and have written over 40 books on parenting and adoption, so what I’m saying is mostly what I’ve heard them repeat over and over. (I hope I get it right! :)…[Read more]

@bekreations  Ah, good.  😝

@jenwriter17 No, you’re right.  We know several families with twenty or more kids. 🙂  It’s just some skeptical person in the government who was supposed to approve the paperwork as a formality decided that it’s impossible for a family to be “normal” or something with this many kids, so they put a hold-up on everything.

Thanks!

And hopefully you all were imagining the MC as a guy… 🙂 🙂 😉

@ariel-ashira  Hope you don’t mind, I just made your last portion into present tense to match the rest of the story.  🙂

It isn’t a direct route, but at least this way we won’t be seen. Several times I think I hear footsteps crackling on the leaves behind us.

“Are we being followed?” I ask Akira.

She shrugs, but several times I see her glanc…[Read more]

@rochellaine  Yes, I suppose not…

@gh24682468999  I just made up a language of gibberish 😉

@ingridrd  Thanks! Yes, I remembered…

@supermonkey42  Thank you! I think I can say the same of other KP literature as well, actually.

@skredder  At least Rochellaine spared him! Even though, apparently, that’s a little impl…[Read more]

@ingridrd @catwing

Thank you for accepting our peace offering basket, catwing. 🙂

Now back to our story.

…It wasn’t a direct route, but at least this way we wouldn’t be seen.  Several times I thought I heard footsteps crackling on the leaves behind us.

“Are we being followed?” I asked Akila.

She shrugged, but several times I saw her glance…[Read more]
