Sarah Spradlin

@jess-penrose @jane-maree Wait–are you two related to each other? I didn’t realize that until now!

Is there anything specific about your grandmother that you would say makes you look up to her?

@jess-penrose

Glad to hear that you found this lesson helpful! That’s definitely a relatable struggle with the challenges of writing a character who is quite different from yourself. My best recommendation would be to study how extroverts you know act in real life, and possibly also study how extroverts in books you read act, and use that to…[Read more]

@Anne-of-Lothlorien Yep. XD They’re like ‘everyone do something’ and I’m like… do what?

This is just too funny. All the cliches and the soy ice cream and dragons and raspberries… XD If anyone asks what Kingdom Pen is, we should just send them to this story.

@Leumeister Yep, just email the KP email. Sarah is out of the country, so I’m currently taking care of emails and can forward emails on to members who need them. 😀

@LifeofKatie I’ve probably told you before and @Daeus already mentioned it, but—LES MIS OF COURSE. Seriously. 😀

Read any of the Scarlet Pimpernel books?

North and South—Elizabeth Gaskell (Really good period drama. BBC’s miniseries of it is just as good.)

A Tale of Two Cities of course. 🙂

The Ball and the Cross—Chesterton

Rolf and the…[Read more]

@Leumeister Yep, anyone who volunteers, to get their email address you can email KP—Sarah Spradlin usually answers the emails—and kindly request her to facilitate an address exchange. Within the safe confines of private email. 😀
And I like to beta-read but can’t volunteer ’cause I’m WAY busy and already overbooked with beta-reading stuff…[Read more]

@Anne-of-Lothlorien Ha! Great picture.

Oh and yes @Dragon-Snapper, the Monte Cristo thing was so great.

@daeus I have to know…when you were at your KP meeting thing, did anyone call you King Daeus, or did anyone call @aratrea the Wiser?

@emma-flournoy Ah yes. I had to make Stanton an evil overlord somehow. 😀
@daeus *races ice cream cone to cliche* Hurrah! (I hope you don’t mind being captured. 😀 )
@delightinlife Don’t worry! There are some coconut milk ice creams in my house too. 😀
@mariposa Do dragons count as dinosaurs?

@Dragon-Snapper AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I LOVE IT! XD XD XD Soy ice cream. *overflowing mirth* And this one had too many awesome lines to count too. Nice job. 😀 😀 😀
(@Daeus—have some extra dairy ice cream here, with un-poisoned rasperries. *it*)

Oh, and to anyone else who decides to read this and hasn’t read the 1st one, go to the first page of this topic and read that one first.

Grr. @kina-lamb

Alrighty! The moment you’ve all been waiting for!!!

The Legend of King Daeus: The Sequel
Part 1
Location: Castle Regnis

It was a dark and stormy night. Actually, it was a bright and sunny morning, but no one was sitting under a pine tree or staring at lily pads. No, they were glaring at maps, at clues, at ice cream.
Nine knights, a Wiser, a…[Read more]

@graciegirl Raspberries are mentioned as well. 😛

Legend of King Daeus the Sequel Update:
I have finished writing it. I just need to edit it, then we’ll be good to go. 😀

Aha! I was right! He did recommend the Count of Monte Crisco!
