@dekreel, Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote The Secret Garden, A Little Princess, etc. Louisa May Alcott wrote Little Women.

And yes, I’m Australian. 🙂

@sam-kowal I like writing fantasty, but mostly write historical fiction. My WIP is set in WWII.

@clairec  Was Frances Hodgson Burnett the one who wrote Little Women? The name sounds familiar…

Are you Australian?

Hi @dekreel! 🙂 *returns handshake* Pleased to meet you.

I’m not much of a TV person, so I’m not sure I really have a favourite movie of TV show, but I love lots of books! I grew up on Enid Blyton, Frances Hodgson Burnett, things like that. I love the Billabong series (which I’m certain you’ve never heard of, as it’s really old, and Australian)…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper  Heheh I’m like that!

@sam-kowal  Gotta write it somewhere XD

You know you’re a writer when you want to write about the back-stories of inanimate objects.

@clairec!!!! Hi!!!! I’m so glad to see you!!!!!

No, we haven’t met yet. I’m Dekreel! Nice to meet you! *tries not to dig claws into your hands as I shake it*

Sometimes I look through the archives and think, “What ever happened to those guys? I really miss them!” Even though I had never met them. So yeah, that’s why I’m so excited to see you  XD…[Read more]

Hmm…it is a fantasy story, for one. I’m not sure how that could be incorporated, but I’m definitely open to the possibility of God actually being there.

This is all really good to think through though. Would it help to read the story? Idk. Only if you want to.

Oh wow, thank you so much! This is actually really encouraging.

If you never mention God, you could take this whole redemption idea and put it into the life of some people. Maybe Person A struggles with a lot of self-worth issues, but then Person B does this amazing, almost irrational self-sacrifice for them, which gets Person A to thinking about…

@livgiordano I have to admit that this question has crossed my mind more than once.

So the truth is our true worth is found in relation to God alone, because He came down and sacrificed Himself on our behalf. Christ’s death is the source of our worth.

If you never mention God, you could take this whole redemption idea and put it into the life of…[Read more]

@waterlily If you’ve subscribed to Kingdom Pen, you will receive KP’s free resources. There’s a worksheet there that will work you through the concepts that basically everyone said above 🙂

@waterlily Cool! I’m definitely going to have to check them out now.

@SeekJustice for the most part, the things that were kind of mature in the book weren’t really in the TV series, so that was nice. If you’re wanting to watch it. 🙂

@jenwriter17 Ohh yay, another Chuck Black fan! YES, I love Wars of the Realm! They’re all so awesome, and really…[Read more]

@waterlily  Check out these two articles on @jane-maree‘s blog! They are SO helpful!

What is Theme?

Focusing your Theme

@seekjustice Thank you! Yeah, I actually thought it was pretty cool. *nods* Yeah, the book was a little heavy for me too, but not overly so. If it was just a tad more, I probably would’ve quit. 😉 I’m also not a fan of Christie’s rebellious character, and how she acts very familiar with both David and Neil. But at the same time, we watched these…[Read more]

Okay…*takes a deep breath* *thinks hard* There should be something I can share.

Let everything inspire you:

As a writer, I observe things. Like everything. Whether it be how the the streetlight catches the glimmer of the puddles, or what it feels like to be literally freezing, longing for a warm house to step inside of. It’s amazing how much…[Read more]

@that_writer_girl_99 Thank you!

@supermonkey42 Thank you! I’m glad it sounds original, and I really hope it is. 😉

@jenwriter17 Thanks for the welcome! I can  tell that I’m really going to love it here. 🙂 I love all of Chuck Black’s books, the Ilyon Chronicles, and Lord of the Rings. My favorite genre is fantasy, though I also really enjoy…[Read more]

@radically-surrendered, yes, I think he does become a Christian, or close to it in the book. And his wife actually died a long time before Christie came in childbirth. So that whole element isn’t there.

@mariposa Nice to meet both of you! I love making earrings, and I make cards…sometimes. I love to read, and play the piano. And I love doing…[Read more]

*nods* Yeah, those episodes I would count as some of the older, better ones. We’ve watched the whole series. 😉 Both Adam and Albert are pretty cool. But in the final episodes, it isn’t even about the Ingalls anymore. Sadly. It’s mostly about Laura and Almanzo.

Oh, have you gotten to when Nellie gets married? Those ones were pretty funny, with…[Read more]

@LivGiordano Yeah, I haven’t seen that many TV shows either. 😛 Plenty of period drama miniseries, but not regular TV shows.

Ahh, I think that depends on how far you watch. *wiggles eyebrows* There are lot of great older ones, but the further you get, at a certain point, you get at least two new AWESOME characters, and by default many more…[Read more]

Oh sheesh. That’s hard. I would have to say team David. But they’re both awesome. *whispers* I read the book, just because after that final episode, I NEEDED to know who she ended up with. That was the most horrible ending every. *sobs* Anyway…have you read the book? It’s actually pretty similar. And she didn’t end up with who I expected her to.
