@sam-kowal Hmmmmm, we do need a lefty insignia. Something to raise proudly in the air when we take over the world.

I’d love to meet Stan! I’m sure @daeus would be happy to provide raspberries for Stan, although Stan may never get to eat them. Daeus tends to, um, eat lots of raspberries. Way too many, in fact. He’ll probably turn pink someday.

@sam-kowal I know the types pretty well, ’cause I’ve looked up/read a bunch of stuff about ’em, and I have a sister (Kate-Flournoy) who spouts about it quite often. Guessing people’s types is one of my favorite occupations. 😀 MBTI (and psychology in general) is very cool stuff. And congratulations on being “I” leaning too. Get the best of both…[Read more]

@sam-kowal Yay! Another lefty! *also raises left-handed flag*

I really like… well, I don’t really have a specific kind of music that I like. I like bluegrass and classical and folk and, well, you get the idea.

@that_writer_girl_99 *grins* It’s on!

@shannon and @emily I just watched your performance, and WOW!!! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! I really…[Read more]

@sam-kowal Ikr? Can’t wait till Oathbringer arrives in my mailbox on Tuesday. *crosses fingers in anticipation*

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. ^_^ Figuring out a smart plan for the villain was definitely the hardest part of writing that story as it took me two months to figure that out. 😛 But eventually it came together and once I figured out…[Read more]

@sam-kowal Yes, that was the G-rated ending. Troopers getting crunched in half might raise it a notch or two. 😉

@sam-kowal  Ah, yes.  A dragon.  Good choice.   That’s so funny, my dad read LOTR to us kids so many years ago and I’ve loved it ever since.  And I agree that Percy Jackson were fun books, but definitely not as deep as HP or LOTR.  🙂

Haha!! @Sam-Kowal After I read your post saying you’d go take an MBTI test and see what you were, I guessed you would be ENFJ. You don’t disappoint. 😀

I’m an ENFJ too, though with ISFJ tendencies. Though that probably doesn’t mean much to you since you only just took a test and don’t know much about MBTI. ;P It’s really cool, you should go read…[Read more]

@Sam-kowal @seekjustice @radically-surrendered awesome, guys! Thanks so much.

@sam-kowal *pops in* Welcome to Kingdom Pen! *shakes your hand violently* Nice to meet you and Stan!

I don’t really want to read through all of the posts on here, so I’ll ask you a question that has probably been asked already. What kind of music do you like to listen to?

And I know I probably didn’t beat @that_writer_girl_99 to this question,…[Read more]

@sam-kowal Welcome to the site! Sounds like we have a lot of the same favorite authors between Sanderson and Austen, among others. 🙂

@emily Yeah; unfortunately I don’t have enough web coding knowledge for that. 😛 Those kinds of features will have to wait until we can bring a legit web designer onto our team.

@sam-kowal Rebels? And charismatic ones too? We can’t have that!

”Calling governmental anti-rebel task force, we have a situation on our hands here.”

”Roger that. Convening on your location now.”

*Looks up and sees a squad of governmental anti-rebel task force special ops troopers with weapons aimed at me* *Remembers I’m a rebel too*…[Read more]

@sam-kowal the government isn’t great and everything Justice (one of the MCs) is saying is true, so they’re definitely going to want to stop that.

@sam-kowal See? All he needed to grow big and strong was some love

@sam-kowal well, it needs to get violent, because eventually the male main character is alarmed by the riot he’s started and tries to stop it and then the military come along and arrest several of the characters, including my female main character, so storming a house or destroying something might be a good idea.

@sam-kowal welcome! *shakes hand vigorously* *hugs Stan* *pats his head*.

Oooh, Brandon Sanderson!!  I LOVE his Reckoner Trilogy, though I haven’t read Calamity yet.

@sam-kowal I like your idea about the bell. I feel like someone would “ring the bell” on every forum thread though! 😉

@sam-kowal Ice cream? Oh yeah, you’ll fit right in. Ice cream is highly prized here abouts.

XD funny you’d mention carrots and pizza. I had those in the same meal the other day. *shrugs* Don’t know why though. 😛

@sam-kowal you… you want to read it?

*stares*

Guys. All I told this person… was how ridiculously long my book was. And now he wants to read it.

My life is complete. I have found someone who actually loves enormous books.

*wanders around in a daze for the rest of the week*

XD Well, it will be open for beta-reading sometime this year…[Read more]

@sam-kowal thank you! I know… eleven is a lot. 😛 Believe me, no one knows that better than I do. XD It was originally twelve, but I managed to knock one off, thank goodness.

Eh dear, yes. Brandon Sanderson gives me hope that it can be done… if he can publish that many books, that are that long (the first draft of my WiP was 500,000+ words)…[Read more]
