Oh, I completely agree with you all!!  Kingdom Pen is an amazing place to grow as a writer and a great community for a Christian.  I have raved to my mom several times about how everyone here is so kind and friendly and sweet to each other.  Everywhere else on…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira I don’t like darkness, but I also believe there is a place for darkness in stories as long as there is light alongside it to show the right way.  Without light no one would realize when they are in darkness.  In the same way a story without any darkness is too fluffy and there’s no point in it.  I just think Josiah has gone a bit to…[Read more]

@alia  Praying for your sister!

@seekjustice  @daughteroftheking  You guys are making my heart feel so warm right now!

I am so blessed to have found this wonderful place! Even as our numbers deteriorate, I’m so glad I have found a community like this. I can’t imagine where my life would be right now if I hadn’t started participating. Even if I’…[Read more]

Piggybacking on what @daughteroftheking said:

You know you are a writer when you wish there was a way to test if a knife or sword is actually stained red after someone stabs somebody… without hurting someone.

@daughteroftheking I actually do something like that while I’m writing. Not just while writing, though, but when I’m imagining scenes in my head, I’ll adapt facial expressions, body language, and have to be careful not to let anybody see me… xD

@ariel-ashira Wow, that’s an amazing poem!  I love it!!!

@catwing *hides* when I promised to get it done “as soon as possible” I forgot that we would be out of state all weekend.  We’re visiting some friends, but we’re staying at a hotel near them, so basically I’m only able to be on my computer at the hotel before 9:00 a.m. or after 11:00 p…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Well, as you know, I use my real name on my books…or did you know that? 😛  There was never really any question about that with my parents, since it’s a business for me, and for business everyone uses their real name, obviously. (Unless you’re an actor, in which case you can change your name to whatever fancy name you want.)

I…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira I’d let you have a look at the machine, but I just sent Bobert in it to Australia.  He wants to check on @seekjustice and make sure she’s okay after all those threats @alia made. 😀  Maybe when he gets back you can have a tour.  Though I think it’s actually @dekreel who should be in charge of the time machine since she has studied ti…[Read more]

@alia  This is a very cool idea.  As you know, I don’t read fantasy, but it does sound very interesting, and I like retellings.

I didn’t respond at first because I couldn’t think of anything, but I just had a really funny idea, and thought I’d tell you. 😉  I don’t know that you’d actually be able to use it, but it does mix up a couple of fa…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira  *starts crying raspberry blood*

Wow. That was pretty inspiring.

@jenwriter17  I suppose it depends on how much you want to protect your identity. Personally, I use a pen name because my real name isn’t common in the USA, so it would be easy to search for on the internet, therefore, more prone to people nosing about my personal information.

But I don’t know how rare your name is. *grins*

That’s all I got. 🙂

Oh, and @jenwriter17 I love your new signature. It’s very appropriate. 😉

@everyone  I’m sorry I never replied to you guys sooner! Life is still a little crazy.

@ariel-ashira  *drowns raspberries in ice cream* *eats mixture* In the words of King Daeus, “Once a Kapeefer, always a Kapeefer.” Thanks! I’m glad to be back as well.

@koryn-koch  Actually I think I’m closer to an ENFP. I need to update my signature. XD…[Read more]

@alia  @rochellaine  @ariel-ashira  @jenwriter17  Oh, thank you, guys! You are all so encouraging! I don’t regret joining the KP community. If I hadn’t, I can’t imagine what my life would have been like. Praise God for such a heart-warming community!

(And Jen, I’m not LEAVING, I just won’t be as active as I was before the hiatus. 😉 )

@ariel-ashira a little. I’m part of one of the guilds, but not as active as I should be.

@ariel-ashira XD Preparing for a book launch. 😛

@alia *holds out time machine* If you want to find our Queen you’ll have to use this.  *hides time machine* But as the Sheriff I suppose my job is to protect the Queen, so you’ll never get the time machine from me.

*whispers* I think @daughteroftheking might be able to get you to the future since she has a starship, (which causes me to be…[Read more]

@leumeister it’s quite science-y but also plausible. 😀 I like the gravity manipulation thing. I have something slightly similar, only it’s a negative energy pulsar that basically creates a mini wormhole around the ship and enables almost instantaneous transportation.

Lots of cool ideas. 😀

@leumeister *grins* Thanks.
