Absolutely!

@ellette-giselle

No, as long as it hasn’t changed. I already read his. =)

Leo Boltman (Leoron Benneck)

He’s just been hired at the school as a maintenance repairman and electrician. He’s hoping to find a good school for his sister and sort-of-adopted little brother, where they’ll hopefully be safe from *backstory*.

Appearance: Somewhere bet…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Great! Would you like me to repost his description? I have it at the beginning of his book because I’m lazy.

@whalekeeper

And Whaley, if you want interaction I’ll go ahead and do a POV with Silvia.

And, if needed I can repost her description…

(Or is you want I can bring my Elf back around. Inglorion would probably enjoy the attention)

@ellette-giselle

And your soldier boy would probably have fun with Leo or at least one of them would.

*Hands on hips*

Excuse me?!? I was here before there even were such things as RPs here in the Kingdom of Pen, and am quickly nearing the old fogie stage of Keepers! Why, I was one of the first writers in this school, when we decided to remove some chaos from the Castle (which castle I helped build).

*Exaggerated huff*

No offense…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Ah makes sense!

@ellette-giselle @linus-smallprint @keilah-h @grcr

Thank you guys! It was a lot of fun getting to see all the submissions! 🥰

Don’t worry about it @rae !

Ok! Here’s my comments on each one. I’ll post my drawing below.

You got his facial features pretty well, and I really like how the hat has a bit of droop to it lol. It looks…[Read more]

I agree with Elishavet that there were many books that we checked out at the library, read, and returned without a whole lot of impact.

And oh yes, I hated it when a character was embarrassed, but then I hated to be embarrassed myself. I also loved the dangerous parts of books, but I also dearly loved a well finished book. I was also, and still…[Read more]

Ironically, most books that impact me now, are those that impacted me then. We read and enjoyed many books that I no longer remember because they went back to the library and apparently their impact ended there.

Now to try and answer your starting questions.

So, what are your thoughts on children’s fiction?

My thoughts? I don’t think there’s room enough to properly answer that question. It would be easier to answer verbally, instead of here. But, in the pith, Children’s fiction, and I mean good children’s writing, is the same as any good writing. There is…[Read more]

Hey @esther-c !

Children’s literature is a precious genre!

Let’s see if I can figure out some answers from my own experience as a very young bookworm and aspiring writer of a children’s novel.

@esther-c

*Stumbles in through window*

Did I hear Children’s fiction? Middle-grade literature?

*Deep if wobbly curtsey*

A writer and reader of all things such as these at thy service.

@freed_and_redeemed

That dragon is now glaring at me most reproachfully. I don’t think it likes my pencil’s jabbing.

@freed_and_redeemed

Oh I like it! Girl, your fanfic writing has improved so much!

@freed_and_redeemed

Get in line! I think maybe Ducktator wanted to do a character next? There might be another one too idk. Also you should participate and have some fun with us! It’s a great way to practice art and it’s fun even if you don’t win.

@grcr @ellette-giselle @keilah-h

Thank you guys for the submissions! Can’t wait to give my feedback tomorrow! 😁😁

@linus-smallprint

Don’t worry about it, it doesn’t need to be perfect, we’ll have fun seeing it either way!

@freed_and_redeemed

Honestly Freedom, the “To be warned” headings you add about tickle me pink at this point. If any keepers reading your writing don’t already know they’re in for a punch to the gut, they sure haven’t been around here very long. XD

Good job, and keep up the good work!

Not sure what’s going on around here, since I last ventured through these halls. I’ll get around to reading through this some day. That said…

@loopylin Don’t feel any pressure to respond. I just sort of remembered I had these guys in here.

Long streaks of rust ran down the concrete walls, a reminder that nobody came down here until it was…[Read more]
