@daeus  😀 😀 THE KING IS HERE! Good to see you!

Yeah, we’ve all missed you. . . a lot. To say the least.

@ariel-ashira  I’m glad you joined, Ariel! And I’m glad I could help you feel welcome here! Everyone deserves it, really. 🙂 😉

@supermonkey42  *wipes tear* Ooh, yes, do write some Kapeefer literature for us! We could still use more of it!

@notawriter  (Haha, almost typed the wrong tag)  Um, wow, I appreciate that! I try my best. 😉 Back at ya.

*Sheepishly creeps into room, scrunching up shoulders* Ahem, Hi! I’m Dekreel. I’m new to the forums. I have been following Kingdom Pen for awhile, and even posted a poem once! AMA  🙂

That seems like such a long time ago. Things have changed drastically since then. . .

I can still remember typing in my name…[Read more]

@seekjustice 😀

I’ve got to go now.  It’s time for family worship, as usual.  I don’t know if I’ll be back on tonight.

@seekjustice This is something I showed my sister a little while ago.  I think it’s perfect for the discussions we have here:

@seekjustice I was thinking about Quillon’s sister today for some reason.  I have no idea why.

…actually I think I was pondering the beauty of the letters ae when placed together, and thought of both Raelyn and Dae’s names.

So, I thought I’d inquire after her well-being.  I’m quite eager to meet her. 😉  Do you have any idea when I shall?

@seekjustice Hello, I’m back.

Do you have any title suggestions for my poem?

@valtmy Sorry, I have to go now too.

@seekjustice I’ll probably be back in a little while.  So please do tag me when you get back.

@ariel-ashira @notawriter Farewell!

@seekjustice See you in a bit!

@valtmy How do you do?

Whatcha workin’ on?

@notawriter All right, here’s the opening to the story:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/17fNBv5Sugq8IwdXgnA8YAVRERTmQRapRnnkeCIrZoo0/edit?usp=sharing

That is pretty much the way I’m approaching it.  Though I don’t think it’s really the main theme of the book.

Hopefully this gets to you in time!  Otherwise, read it when you get a chance.  I’…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira I’ve told you about Daughter of Judas before. 😉

Well, I think, being a teenage girl, she wouldn’t be overly important to the religious leaders.  But the religious leaders didn’t really seem to care what her father did after he betrayed Jesus.  Remember when he tried to give back the money, they basically said “what do we care a…[Read more]

@seekjustice I know exactly what you mean. 😉

You should definitely try freezing grapes sometime.  You’re getting close to summer now, aren’t you?

Okay, great!  It’s a bit too long to post on KP, but I’ll put an open access document here.  (So @ariel-ashira and @notawriter feel free to take a look to…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira Are you still working on your Biblical times story too?

@notawriter I consider that a very quick reply. 😉  But I’ll be prepared in case there are slower ones.

My current novel is about the fictional daughter of Judas Iscariot.  I consider this a very interesting premise to work with because in all the New Testament novels I’ve read the Christians are the nice people and the unbelievers are the a…[Read more]

@notawriter Hiieeee!!!  You’re here! 😀

@seekjustice I see. 🙂

Have you ever had frozen grapes?  We freeze them ourselves, just washing them and putting them in a plastic bag in the freezer.  They’re an amazing summer snack.  Would you believe it…we’ve actually frozen raisins too. 😛  We used to put frozen raisins in our oatmeal for breakfast.  I remember liking it quite a lot, thou…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, it’s because of the Middle Eastern background.  Wow, that was a quick connection you made!

I like fresh fruit too, and agree that dried fruit is not the best.  I like dried apricots and mango a lot.  Dried cranberries are probably my favorite, but those have to be sweetened, because they’re extremely sour. 😉  What do you thin…[Read more]

@seekjustice I think ham and pineapple pizza is the original “Hawaiian pizza” which was invented in Canada.  Hawaiians say it’s not Hawaiian pizza. 😉  But I believe yes, it is fairly common in America.  I’ve personally never had it, because we don’t eat ham.

Um…do you have pineapple on burgers?  I’ve had pineapple with a lot of meats befo…[Read more]

@seekjustice 😛

Do you have Traditional Medicinals tea in Australia?

I have a huge sweet tooth, so I use honey. 😉  Hibiscus tea doesn’t need much honey because it’s sweet already, and I could drink it without, but like I mentioned, I have a sweet tooth. 😛  The honey is mostly for when I have a sore throat, though.

Ha.  I’m one of the only on…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha, your “catchphrase” reminds me that I just read a book where a character said “wowly-wow” and a male one at that so I feel quite justified in allowing Derek to say it in my western. 😛

Procrastinating is one of the most fun things to do, isn’t it?

Hm, you’re right, I don’t think we have. 😀  I mostly drink tea when I’m sick, a…[Read more]
