Oh ok! I totally get that. Italicizing in KP is a pain. I went back and italicized my whole thing here only for KP to not save the edit 🤦‍♀️. I was thoroughly dissapionted and it didn’t let me try again, so my second chapter doesn’t read the best.

So um…who’s turn is it?

I haven’t seen the LOTR movies either, because I’m also sensitive and I agree with you about the characters. From what I know, they completely misunderstood Eowyn. And Faramir.

YES!!! Ugh. I’ve heard the same.

I mean, she was mistaken and proud at times, but on the inside she’s actually struggling with some real fears and insecurities. AND Far…[Read more]

Great topic!

I am thankful both for the opportunity to spend time with extended family, and for toothpaste. I mean, seriously, this world would be a much grosser place without it.

@wilder-w yea just got the holidays going on lol!

@starofthenorth

It is! I read it yesterday . . . Are the others in the series good too?

Lol I suppose they are.

Lol sorry, they are not. 😭

I actually learned a lot about how not to right sequels. With my story being so similar, I realized how important it is to keep the plot up and running after the characters leave. Like, don’t let it get…[Read more]

@Erica

I know you mention of City of ember was to Felicity, but lol can I just say, that book is awesome? It was major inspiration for my books, and I only realized the similarities between them a couple months ago.

@theloonyone

Love it!

I was a little confused here:

Wait. He turned to Cammie and carefully offered, “I might be able to get you backstage.”

I couldn’t tell if he was thinking “wait” or saying it or something else.

And lol, Cammie’s mom seems like a character 🤣

I like where you have it going! 😃

I have chapter 2 of my story, I think I upl…[Read more]

Well, I am currently working on a trilogy which I don’t have a title for. The first two books are set in an early medievalish time, and the last one is World War/modern. Oh, and all the characters are animals, a little like The Green Ember.

Oh King of the Golden hall! I have that in my clarinet sheet music book.

Oh I like your themes! I like themes of sacrifice in family too, I have a section of my book about a character who made a lot of sacrifices to adopt a little girl.

Ooh Swallowtail summer sounds really interesting!

In A Dream Come True, I played around a lot with…

Glad you are doing better from Covid! I had it for awhile, not nearly as bad as you did though.  I do remember deciding crawling was easier than walking though 😂 I was exhausted.

I’m thankful for Jesus forgiving us, me just being happier because I was low-key depressed (it still comes back sometimes but I’m doing better) And…[Read more]

@starofthenorth

Wow. I wish I did.

1. Ah yes, of course more questions. =)Good choice! I’m surprised by the number of those who pick the dragon ride. I’d like an Akhal-Teke, and I’d probably name it Sar.

3. Poor Christopher!

4. Oh ouch. I had braces a few years ago, and I missed gummies so much. =|

@felicity

Just curious, what made you want to learn Russian?

Well, I don’t really know when the interest started, certainly not heritage as most of my family is Scotch-Irish, but I have wanted to go help the churches over there since I was little. I’ve been learning Russian for a few years, but I’m still far, far from fluent.

Was learning the C…

Greetings and salutations! Welcome to the Kingdom of Pen. The community here is indeed great. We’re glad you’re here!

I’m called Elishavet around here, and I mostly write realistic medieval fantasy (so I can blend my two favorite genres: Clean, medieval fantasy and Historical fiction), with the occasional poem.

I have read LotR, but I’m…[Read more]

@arien

Welcome to the kingdom! I’m Koshka, or that’s what I am around here. Here, and pretty much everywhere else, I write non-magical medieval-fantasy andthe random poem among other things. A lot of other things.

I have read and enjoyed LotR, but I don’t know if I exactly qualify as a fan (at least compared to those I would definitely say are…[Read more]

@starofthenorth

Welcome to the Kingdom, oh slinky shadower! I am Koshka, a writer of non-magical medieval-fantasy and/or other fiction, poetry randomly and far between, and apparently essays (doesn’t one just love college paperwork?!).

I skimmed through the former posts and greetings and saw you’re learning Scottish Gaelic. Haló! It is good to f…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76

HUZZAH!!! It sounds amazing, especially for a first draft. I can’t wait to see what happens next, and yes I will probably be stalking this page to see if you post anything new. =)

@felicity

AGH!!! I never sent in my reply!

Sure! I love hearing other authors ramble about their WIPs. And war is a difficult thing to write right, without it being in real life. For some reason it ended up in my writing in three different forms. *Sigh*

Yes! Most people where I’m from thinks they sound harsh, which just means they haven’t…[Read more]
