Ahem. I don’t know if any of you will recognize me (or are even still here) but I’m back….
I can’t tell you all how happy I am to be back here, even though KP isn’t running anymore.

Hello girls!
I’m SO SORRY…
I haven’t been on here in like FOREVER. Please forgive me. I wanted to let you know that I’ll be moving…just next door to Story Embers. Hope to see yas over there!
-
Hello, Emily!
I feel like the KP forum has been winding down a lot since Story Embers started. I know I haven’t been very active on it for some time.
-
Hey Louise! Thanks for understanding 🙂
-
Also, do you know if the other Emily is still here? I wanted to tag her before but couldn’t work out which one she was…there are certainly a lot of Emily’s here now! 🙂
-
I actually haven’t been on Story Embers very much though. I don’t quite understand why this site was put on hiatus while another, very similar site was started up.
Also, I’m not sure which other Emily you mean?
-
@perfectfifths Not quite sure what her real surname is…I don’t think that she has an account anymore.
How are you, anyway? 🙂
-
I can’t think of any other Emilys, so unless you mean Emma? I don’t know who you’re looking for, sorry.
I’m good. Just going about my life. 🙂 Writing, music, things like that. How are you?

@emily-d Hi! That’s totally fine 😉 I’m on the SE forums but not that much; mostly I’m staying on KP. 🙂
-
Hi Jen! Thanks…glad to be getting back into my writing groove haha. 😉
-
-
@perfectfifths That’s fine. I’m great, thanks… me too. What instrument do you play? I play piano and I’m learning ukelele 🙂
-
I play violin, am teaching myself recorder and I kind of play viola and cello. But violin is the only instrument I’ve learned “properly” (had lessons and stuff).
-
@perfectfifths Hi Louise, so sorry I didn’t reply sooner, I haven’t been on here for forever! Sounds like fun. 🙂 I want to learn harp and violin 🙂

@daeus @rolena-hatfield @moderators…
Is there a way for me, or for one of you, to change a post AFTER the five or so minutes is up? There is something important I want to change in my latest KPA post.
-
Yes. I can do that.
-
Great. Would you mind changing something?
On part 9, where Jane says “It seems you are an Evil Overlord,” could you take out the word “evil?”
Thanks!!

Done.

Thanks a lot 🙂

Does anyone know what happened to Emily and Shannon?? Their entire profiles seem to have disappeared…-
@dekreel I’ve noticed that too. They’re both just anonymous now. The only thing I can think is that they may have deleted their profiles 🙁

@seekjustice Well, hopefully they won’t be gone forever…

Hopefully not. I miss them 🙁 🙁 🙁

@cindygreen Neat idea!
@salome01w4g Your kindness is contagious. You are always there to put a smile on someone’s face, whether you know them or not, and stay positive in every situation. 🙂
@rolena-hatfield You, my friend, are such an inspiration to me. Your passion for Jesus and love for his people is evident in everything you do. …[Read more]

Hello! 🙂 So, have any of you read The Black Arrow by Robert Louis Stevenson? @dragon-snapper This is one of your favourites, right? @emily @jenwriter17 @rolena-hatfield @dekreel @mariposa @ingridrd @perfectfifths
-
No, I haven’t. I heave read Treasure Island, by the same author, though, and I quite enjoyed that. 🙂
-
@emily-d Hmmm…I have not read it either but I have read Treasure Island and the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by him.
-
-
@emily-d AWWWWWWWWWWWW! I love your new profile pic.
And yes. I loooooooooove that book. Everything about it. I’ve actually been thinking I’d read it again soon. Did you just read it?
-
@emily-d Nope, I haven’t read it. What is it about? 🙂
-
No, I haven’t read this. Is it good? What’s it about?
-
@dragon-snapper Thanks! 😉 As for the book: IKR??? We did it for read aloud recently. Totally amazing. We also did The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde for read aloud, and that was really good too. I haven’t read Treasure Island yet.

Well, I enjoyed Treasure Island, so it’s likely I’ll enjoy this too. 🙂
-
Lol, you don’t have to tell a synopsis. I can look it up. 😉
-
-
-
I’ve read it. It’s a great book! One of my fave ‘classics’. Is it an old favourite of yours, or something you read more recently?
-
And I just noticed that you mentioned Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which I haven’t read, but know of and a bit about. Would you recommend it? @emily-d
-
@clairec Hi! So you’re a classics fan? So am I!!! I looove classics. Yes, I would recommend Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde. It’s interesting. I remember that I didn’t completely agree with the author’s worldview when we read it. But with the gift of discernment and your antennae up, it’s definitely worth reading! Any comments @ingridrd? 🙂
-
@jenwriter17 🙁 Hmm…how come I never thought of that? Oopsies 😛
-
@clairec Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was awesome. When it started out, I thought I was going to hate it. I didn’t enjoy the beginning, but the end is so suspenseful and well-written…I won’t give anything away. 🙂 Also, the theme of God’s forgiveness is stunningly evident, something I at least rarely come across in stories today. Definitely…[Read more]

Hey guys! I know that KP has lots of articles on this, but some of the options of building a reader base aren’t open to me. Like social media. I can’t do much of that.
Do you guys have any suggestions as to how I can promote my blog and writing to build a reader base?

Daeus started the topic Pinterest in the forum Publishing & Platform 6 years, 11 months ago
Hi KeePers,
Let me start this out with an admission. I frankly do not like social media. I groan at the millions of totally senseless posts, hide my face at the barely worthwhile posts, and fear getting sucked out of productive work and turned into a mailbox.
So I’ve never tried to use social media as a marketing tool, because, duh, it would be…[Read more]

@daeus @rolena-hatfield What happened to that short story “Foundling?” I really liked it!

We removed it from the site. (Hopefully just for a short period!)
What happened is that at KP we have a policy of editing all our submissions before publication. The lady who submitted that piece was either unaware of that, or didn’t fully understand what it implied, so she was surprised when her piece was published to find that her story was…[Read more]

Hey y’all! Have any of you read The King’s Fifth by Scott O’Dell? @rolena-hatfield @dragon-snapper @mariposa @emily @ingridrd

No, I have not. I have read Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O’Dell though. What is The King’s Fifth about?

No, I haven’t read anything by Scott O’Dell. What kind of books does he write? 🙂

@ingridrd @mariposa @emily Hey! Sorry that I haven’t responded sooner. The King’s Fifth is good. I enjoyed it. It definitely won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but the writing is fantastic. I love how Scott O’Dell shows the madness of the desire for gold and how it can ruin people’s character. It’s definitely worth reading…We have the audio…[Read more]

OH MY GOODNESS! @bluejay How have you been?? 😀
Hiiiii! Glad you’re back!! Maybe you should go re-introduce yourself on the forum and those who still frequent this place can meet you! 😀 I’m not much on here anymore unless I’m specificially in a conversation with someone, but I think there’s a dozen or so people who still hang out.
And no doubt they could use a doctor. ;P
@perfectfifths I’m well. I’ve missed being here with you guys. Life is about to get crazy, but I’m really hoping that I’ll be able to get writing well and truly back into my life.
@emma-flournoy That’s a good idea. It will give me a feel for who is around and introduce myself to the new people. Oh wait, I’m the new person. 🙂 LOL
@bluejay It’s good to see you back. I’m one of the few that haven’t gone over to Story Embers (I’m signed up for their newsletter and read their articles, but I don’t use the forums). So you’ve not been writing much lately?
@perfectfifths Yay!
No, not much. Still working on the Golden Conch. I’ve semi started the sequel to it. And I wrote a short story recently, but over the past two years, no not much. 🙁
@bluejay
Oh yes, I’ve been wondering about that. You left about the time I sent you my feedback/edits and I never heard from you about that. XD I’m sorry to hear that. I know I have times where I’d been writing less, but it’s usually been weeks at most and this year I’ve written fairly consistently. But we all go through dry spells.

Yes, that was right. I’d be happy to send it through in the near future so you can read all the changes. (I believe it will be quite different since you’ve read it.)
Yes, we do. But I’m hoping that it’s going to pour with rain now. 🙂 And end the drought.
No, I’m not doing that. I don’t want pressure when I write atm, just need…[Read more]

I’d love to. How do you want to send it? My email I think has changed since then, but I still have yours, assuming it hasn’t.
