Hey, Veterans Day is this upcoming Saturday.

Honestly, before Veterans Day was nothing more than a name, I never put a date to it, never thought about it. My homeschooled co-op did a small ceremony, but it meant…[Read more]

I would like some serious criticizing on this scene. I don’t want to hear anything like “It’s good” I want to hear stuff like, “It needs help here…” “It’s fine here…” I don’t…[Read more]

(Uhhh, has anyone noticed that @sarafini has vanished? All her past posts say anonymous now… Did she just leave?)

Ok, here’s the third chapter! It may be the last I post of it for a while if at all, but we’ll…[Read more]

Ok… I’m so excited because I’m finally sharing my WIP idea for NaNo!!!

I think it’s the only WIP that I’ve actually put a lot of thought into before actually…[Read more]

It sounds really interesting! I’d think I’d have to know a little bit more to make any suggestions, since this is just the blurb, but it sounds awesome!

As for title ideas… I have no idea. XD The others’ suggestions are good. I’m terrible at coming up with titles. 😂

Oh my goodness, I love that! if you post any of it on KP, please tag me, I would love to read that!

I struggle with titles a lot too!

I usually just wait until the title comes to me (after all, the story’s more important than the title), and sometimes I have a temporary title until I can come up with a good one. I would say don’t rush it, because if you’re anything like me, it’s a distraction from your actual project and you’ll…[Read more]

Here are chapters three and four of the second book in my trilogy, with the working title Through the Forge. For those of you who know who he is, this is when Adrian is first introduced…[Read more]

So it isn’t literal then? They are still cognitively present, simply robbed of all real sense of will and individuality. That’s always a fun theme to explore. I enjoy the discussions and themes of things that destroy will, especially will that is freely given away.

Cool! What happens to the souls of the soulless ones? Do they simply die, the bodies simply reanimated, and the souls go to where ever souls go after death, or something more sinister?

The right title I think will come with time. As you develop the story, the name will develop with it. Regardless, here’s a few ideas:

If you want to…[Read more]

Titles:

The Witch-queen

For Home

Ninione’s Curse

The Price of Life

Songweed’s Salvation (Note: I like the town name:))

The Fellowship of Six

What’s the lost heir about?

Sounds great!

@spinner4him

Alright, I might as well post the second chapter now. I’m not entirely sure about this one, and I think it needs to be a bit longer, but it helps clear up a bit of the fog from the first chapter, at least I hope so. Can’t wait to…[Read more]

Here’s the link to my WIP.

If you have any critiques, please reply to this thread and tag me! Thanks for being interested in this! 🙂

@thearcaneaxiom

Do you think I’ve fixed most of the problems we’ve discussed? Anything I need to work on in the “new” chapters?

Okay! Great! I’ll tag you in the thread.

I got that notification, but then the page didn’t come up! Yeah, Kathleen should be able to help. KP goes through a lot of different glitches, so I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

Have you tried it again since then?

Oh no! Oh no. I’m sorry. Above I was tagging you, but I just realized I said “@sinner4him” I’m so sorry! The things I do🙄.

Hi! I don’t think we’ve met.

I’m Sara, and I love all things music. I know a few chords on the guitar, I took piano for 6 years, I took violin for 2 years, I sing harmony on the worship team, I’ve played flute for four years, and I play piccolo as well (It’s a TINY flute that plays an octave higher. It’s SUPER LOUD!!! and annoying,…[Read more]

Thanks!! I will!

Yesss, for sure!! Oh yeah, it is! I’m pretty sure it’s Nia. I think it’s an illustration from the…. second or third book. I can’t remember which one.

This has never happened since I joined… 🤔 @kathleenramm might be able to help 🤷‍♀️

My favorite character to write is probably one of the main characters in my current WIP, whose name is Obsidian Gray. He’s pretty easy to write, but hasn’t been a point-of-view character yet, so I don’t know for sure.

Ok awesome!!

What’s your current WIP about? If you’re posting things about it on here, would you tag me?

So, it’s a tr…[Read more]

@jonas got it, but if you have any more, let me know! 🙂

It would probably be best if you started your own page. You can do that if you go to Forums: then look for Critiques, then Novel Critique requests, then you should be able to make one. I hope that helps!

Here’s the apologetics page if your interested! It’s strayed from apologetics more and has entered general discussion on reality, so I thought you’d like to check it out.

Yep, @jonas got it! XD

1. ranks are awarded based on how many posts you have made. Certain mile markers give you a new rank. For example, you’ll go from ‘bumbling henchman’ to ‘charismatic rebel’ at around 20.

2. You can make a thread about it under either the ‘critiques’ or ‘general writing discussions’ sections.

Actually, yes. I have been stepped on before six times, by six different horse on the same foot. I work at a stable that has 39 +/- horses, so it’s bound to happen.

It’s not a brand, it’s type of cheese and my personal favorite, try it sometimes It’s really good with celery or rice cakes.

Glad to here you like kp, hope to see you…[Read more]

Oh my word, thank you so much!!! That means a lot!! 🥰 I actually emailed in the story to him, but I haven’t gotten any reply yet. (Which doesn’t surprise me. He’s probably busy. 😉 ) But I actually got to meet him at a conference I went to at the beginning of September. I was able to get a picture with him too! It was pretty aweso…[Read more]

My favorite character to write… do you mean characters that I’ve created and am writing?

Yep! Any character of your own creation!

I love homeschooling because I have more time to invest my energy in doing things I like to do and learning about things I enjoy.

Yeah, awesome! I would agree. 😉

As for cake or ice cream, ice cream wou…

Yess!!! Read and reread them, they’re amazing. My family might be starting the first one as a read aloud, too! 😁 I’ve been trying to get my siblings to read them forever. Who’s your favorite character?

Yeah, I definitely like viola better, because of the sound, I guess. I don’t really know, but it just fits me better.

Yeah, I get that. It’s really similar to violin, just a little deeper, right? I don’t think you have an E string.

My inspiration for my WIP was a bunch of different books and one of my friends, who loves to imagine a…

Lol 😀

Same. I really like to read and write third person, but first is really cool too. I struggle to write in it, though.

Interesting! (I think you are the first person that said world first! 😅)

*waves* I know I’m pretty late, but hi!

I’m GRCR! I’m a fiction writer and an avid artist, journalist for my fictional newspaper, and a character lover that has thousands of characters, (and I love them so much that I wish they were real people, lol). I enjoy listening to music and imagining my characters singing the songs. And, I e…[Read more]

Yeah, I love pretty much any American history, but especially the 1700s and 1800s. The story I’m currently writing is set in the midwest in the late 1800s so it feels a little bit like the Little House series.

As for Marvel (please don’t get offended, Marvel lovers), no, I don’t like it. Superheroes and whatnot just get on my nerves. To be fair, I’ve only watched snippets, but what I’ve seen doesn’t appeal to me at all.

I kind of wish I never got invested in Marvel. Overall, there aren’t that many good movies (although I do think some are<…[Read more]

Hello! I’m Cloaked Mystery, more mundanely known as Jonas.

I’m a senior in high-school, homeschooled piano player, composer, video game designer, fantasy writer. My main project is a fantasy universe that I’m working on with my sister, @highscribeofaetherium.

Questions (hopefully unasked):

Do you write more traditional (medi…[Read more]

Welcome! I’m Janessa, aka Trailblazer, and I write a lot of contemporary and historical fiction (which, if you’re interested in reading his/fic, feel free to check out the topic I started in the novel critique section, where I’ve been posting segments from my WIP), a little bit of mystery, and some journalism. I enjoy hiking and…[Read more]

Welcome to KP, Brianne!!

I’m Esther: a volleyball-playing, violin-squeaking, dog-obsessed, homeschooled, God-loving, teen girl!

I’m thirteen as well! (Well, almost fourteen.) And I’m homeschooled too! I think that there are a lot of homeschoolers on here. 😉

So cool that you’ve visited Denmark!! I would love to visit Europe…[Read more]

I’ve been playing viola for one year now, but I started playing violin when I was eight, so I usually say I’ve been playing a ‘stringed instrument’ for five years.

Awesome! I actually had a different friend who switched to viola after starting on violin, too. Do you like viola better? You probably do XD What do you prefer about it?

Hi there! I think I would probably lean more toward the soft worldbuilding category, but I’m a pretty healthy balance of both I’d say.

Nice, I’m definitely more of a hard worldbuilder, but balancing the two is very good. Tolkien did this, where the world itself is very hard, however the magic is very hand wavy.

As for learning lan…

Welcome to KP!

I’m the Arcane Axiom, I love math, finding divine fundamental truth, and exploring that in my writing. I read/write sci-fi/fantasy, and my current project is a universe I’m working on with my sister called the Septrum.

Questions!

Do you lean towards hard or soft worldbuilding? (hard meaning concrete rules for the…[Read more]

It did! Your welcome!😊

How do I describe it? 😀 So under the persons profile pic you will see their name in green and under their name you will see the other name ( black font that starts with an @ symbol). Either copy and paste that onto the message your typing to them or write it out- either way will work. Hope that helps and makes scene! 🙂

Hi! I’m Acancello, also known as Allison! I’m aslo homeschooled and  I love guinea pigs, dogs, traveling, acting, trying weird food, writing, reading, talking and a lot more 😁! I write Dystopian and post-apocalyptic books. I’m so glad you could come to Kingdom Pen! OK, now I’ll ask you some hopefully not already asked question…[Read more]

Thanks for the tag!! (:

@spinner4him

Hi! I love writing fantasy, as well as sci-fi.

Viola sounds so cool! I play guitar as well as a bit of piano and cello. I’ve never been out of the states lol, but I think it would be cool.

I know some people that go to Nicaragua on a regular basis, and they’ve invited me to come in the future,…[Read more]

Hey!!!!! I’m Smiley (my real name is Miley) I’m a Christian homeschooled girl who loves writing. I also love softball, exercising, archery, and stretching, and I’m also a Marvel fan girl. I write dystopian and contemporary and also fanfics

Favorite book?

Do you have a WIP? If so what is it about…[Read more]

Darn, let me know if this shows up twice… I posted and then tried to edit Euodia’s tag, and then it deleted it, lol.

Anyway, it’s nice to meet you! I’m hybridlore on here, a Christian homeschooler, high schooler, violinist, and science-fiction/dystopian writer.

Awesome! I’m also the oldest child in my family. 😁 Okay, cool! Fanta…[Read more]
