So sorry it took me so long to reply! I LOVE it!! Great job!

And I like your drawing style, too.

Keep it up!!😊😁

@theloonyone @everyone else on this topic

I pulled out some more old writing. This is 11-year-old me trying to write a romance, by the way. 😝😍

In this scene, Irene was just met one of her suitors, Nicholas. He escorts her to her rooms.

When we arrived at my door, he said, “Well, here thou art, Lady. I shall see the sometime in the near future.”…

So sorry it took me so long to respond!

I don’t know what era I like best. I call history my least favorite sub next in school, but that is the fault of the curriculum I use . . . I like history itself.

You’re totally welcome!!!

@theloonyone

I also would like to share my first story that I ever wrote down on my own. It was entitled “Mr. Strawberry.” (I might have been 4 or 5 when I wrote it?) Here goes:

Mr. Strawberry was a strawberry. Now he is a He.

That’s all.

I couldn’t think of how to express that Mr. Strawberry had turned into a man, so I had to do with “now he is…[Read more]

@madelyn

Thanks! It’s honestly fun *evil writer laugh*

@theloonyone

How are they going to make up? I’m sure you know though 😁😂

Ehh–actually I don’t. Quite. Yet.

I also saw that you said romance is only a subplot. What is the first genre?

Hmm, I don’t know exactly what the genre is. Fantasy, but anything more specific than that I don’t know. B…[Read more]

@felicity

Unfortunately no. 🙁

Aw, that’s too bad! We have one but don’t use it at every single service.

@theloonyone @everyone else

Hey there! I’m a little late to this but . . . I have something to share. (lol I have a lot. I saved everything from when I was little)

I think I was about 7 when I wrote this story. My dad lovingly typed it for me and I sent it to all my relatives for Christmas. (my grandpa still mentions it–how good it was.…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76

Nice to meet you! Ooo, history is interesting. I’ve been following kingdom pen for a while, and your books sound so cool!! 😀

@mineralizedwritings @koshka @felicity

Thanks!

Oooo, I want more of these characters, even if I’m not exactly a romance reader.

My book’s plot is not the romance exactly! Just a subplot.

I’m curious how you make Christopher and Briana finally forgive each other.

Hehe, I don’t quite know myself 🙂 Still working on that.

@felicity

I’m sure there are organs in heaven! Do you have an organ at your church?

It’s your Scottish heart!

Haha, I’m sure it is!!

@lightoverdarkness6

No worries!

1. The only thing I don’t like about my pleco is how much it hides! Sometimes I don’t see it for days at a time lol 🙂

2. Yes, Aragorn too! And Eilonwy from the Chronicles of Prydain. Have you read it?

3. I love the cello too! Though I don’t really like practicing.

4. I also like Philippians 4:6-7.

5. Yess,…[Read more]

Here is another scene I wrote. This is after Christopher and Briana have been captured and have escaped. Christopher was fighting off a guard and told Briana to run. They just met again.

“I see you’re angry at me for doing what you told me…

@mineralizedwritings

I like your ideas!

I think Briana is trying to prove that she’s not useless. She was brought up in an army fort, and her mother died when Briana was ten. (Briana has no sisters) So she’s always held the strain of being “the girl” in a fort–no doubt doing housekeeping duties and the like. And she doesn’t like that.

So…[Read more]

@madelyn

Aw thanks!!

I love to see the build-up of emotion in Christopher’s body language before he snaps at her.

I agree. I love body language lol. 🙂

Also, I think it’d really add to the heartbreak of the scene if you included an undercurrent of pain, of the awareness they both have that they’re breaking the relationship they had. Even thoug…

@madelyn

Thank you. 😉

Hey, that’s really helpful! Can’t wait till I’m a wise jester (at least I’m wise, even if I am a goof)

I trust your Thanksgiving was amazing and the turkey did not shoot out of the oven (look up the poem “The Turkey Shot Out of the Oven”) lol

@everyone

And thank you all for taking the time to read this scene and responding so kindly! I was scared . . . I didn’t need to be!

Haha, I am now a charismatic rebel!

Much better than a bumbling henchman.

@freedomwriter76

Hello! I don’t believe we’ve met.

Everything you said is so true! I love seeing how God has been working in others’ lives.

@madelyn

Well, I got my braces early this month . . . I think they’re saying 20-24 months. One down, 23 more to go! lol
