@daeus Norma Jean Lutz is a really good author (one of my favorites) who published her books in the 70s-00s.  Now most of them are out of print, but she recently put them on kindle.

She now runs a young authors coaching website, and has published several booklets with snippets of writing advice.  If you contacted her she would probably be able t…[Read more]

@clairec I get an email announcing that you mentioned me along with several loud, annoyed remarks, so, confused, I come over here and find a half page of you trying to spell my name.  😀  Sorry it caused you so much trouble! 🙂  I assume you were originally trying to comment about the Stolen Raspberries comic?

@dekreel That is really weird.  🙂 …[Read more]

@seekjustice I never saw a sparkly bear; I never hope to see one; but anyhow or anywhere; I’d rather see than be one! 😀

@notawriter It wasn’t very hard to find an illustrator.  I created a topic on the KP forum titled “Looking for an Illustrator” and got a few answers.  I think it took a couple weeks before I got a definite agreement from s…[Read more]

@seekjustice Actually, I just found an online create-your-own-collage website, and am practicing by making random story prompts from the art I have saved on my computer.

I looked for a collage website so that I could make the stolen raspberries comic I posted in the “KP Captions” topic.  Have you seen it?

@seekjustice Shop Around the Corner from 1940 with James Stewart.  Cute and sweet story interlaced with hilarious one-liners.

@seekjustice I’m sorry, I was having a sort of “movie night” with my brother and parents.  Now I’m done, though – two hours after you posted. 😀  Are you still here?

@notawriter Yes, I’m self-publishing.  I’ve already self-published several books, but never a picture book, so it will be a new experience trying to figure out the format. 🙂

I’m glad you liked it!  Wow, Oliver seems to be the favorite around here.  I wonder why?  And you’re not too late, because I haven’t decided yet. 😀

Oh, wrong tag.  @aratrea

@epicaddie2 Oh no.  I got this slightly wonderful, but kind of horrible idea.  See if you like it…

(I don’t know if the words will end up too small to read here, but I think if you click on the picture it gets bigger sometimes.)  Read from left to right, and then down.

@dekreel This is my own weird version of a KPA. 😀

@aratrae @daeus @the-r…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Oh, well. 🙂  Bye!

@seekjustice Hello!  I’m finally back.  How are you doing – or are you doing at all?

@dekreel @jenwriter17 Anyone home?  I’m working on a small project.

@aratrae 😀

Wait…Did you just give us a spoiler or something?

I’m not sure if you were asking me, but I don’t mind if you use mine.  After all, it’s not my face in the pictures. 🙂

@epicaddie2 How about this?

@mnvalentine Just like when Jesus said “On these hang all the law and the prophets” it seems to me that nearly all if not every “quest” I have read has either been one of those two or a spin-off of one of them. 🙂

The dictionary definition of “quest” is that it is a search for something.  So rather than a battle at the end of the journey, a…[Read more]

@mnvalentine The most common quests, I believe, are (1) the knight has to rescue a princess, and (2) something like the holy grail, where the knight has to search for an object of great significance to the history or religion of the kingdom.  Quests are often tightly intertwined with the fight scenes, because the hero will fight the dragon to get…[Read more]

@ceaseless-prayer I tried cutting it into smaller posts, but still couldn’t post it.  It’s really weird.  I also tried doing a public message of it to you like I did in the first place to contact you, but apparently that didn’t work either.

Here is a google document into which I copied my comments.  Let’s see if you can view this one. 🙂

@ceaseless prayer I just realized it is really long and am wondering if maybe it was blocked because of that.  Let’s see if this post goes through.
