I have a question for any of you who have tried writing platforms similar to Wattpad, for context. I recently finished co-writing a book with my sister and we’re not sure what we want to do with it yet, so we’ve decided to try uploading it to a writing site over…[Read more]

There are misconceptions, but I can’t remember any specifically, so… yeah.  One of the coolest things I can think of at the moment is how the Holy Eucharist, at the moment of the consecration, whether the host and wine physically change to Christ’s body and blood or not, it is a miracle because the words of the consecration are so powerf…[Read more]

Ah, yes I am an editor for Elfwing’s book! I believe I know who you are!😀 What a small world we live in. XDD

Oooh, I love “The God Who Stays”!!!!!!!! 😀 That’s such a great song!!!!! Matthew West’s song, “Mended” is another one of his that I love! Music without words is really pretty!!! And Irish-type music is awesome!!!!! I’ve never…[Read more]

I can think of plenty about Catholicism to share, but I would share better if there’s something specific you want to know. 🙂

(I prefer not to mention it so much, nowadays, because it can seem like I’m bragging, but since you asked, I will tell.) I am fifth of fourteen siblings, with no sets of twins. 🙂 My oldest brother is married and…[Read more]

*high-fives for being a fellow Jesus-follower* I love Jesus and fantasy as well!!! I read your inspiration behind your username and may I just say that I love that reasoning!! 😀 It’s awesome!!!

What’s your favorite song? Favorite…[Read more]

So, I’m dipping my toes into allegories…

Who am I kidding, I’m diving right in!!

I would love all y’all’s input on this subject! Namely, what are some of your favorite Christian allegorical stories and what made them impactful? What parts drove to your heart? Narnia is definitely on the top of my list of Christian allegories, so i…[Read more]

And do you sometimes feel that you’re the glue that holds your family together?

I sometimes feel like I’m the one keeping lots of things in order, in my family. I have seen that when I don’t do the dishes or skim the milk, no one does, so it doesn’t get done, so things back up, and conside…[Read more]

No, I should have tagged you, and I meant to tag you, but I must have forgotten to reran you after accidentally reloading the page. 🙂

LOL interesting! why the Vatican? And do you sometimes feel that you’re the glue that holds your family together?

The Vatican because: first, I’m a Catholic; second, I’d love to see what all goes on in it…[Read more]

That sounds fantabulous! I think it would be so fun to live on a hobby farm! I want peacocks someday (although, they’re loud). and I do really want a horse someday (although, they’re expensive) XD

they are very loud, yes. Whenever we go to California we stay at a place with peacocks and they usually wake us up in the morning. Horses are…[Read more]

well, we have cows and a milk cow, dogs, chickens and cats, but my three other families of cousins have goats, a donkey, horses, sheep, ducks, and turkeys, as well as beef and milk cows. 🙂

Aww, thank you. Most the time I don’t feel like a very wonderful person lol

I think that’s all of us sometimes, heh.

That is odd, but so coo…[Read more]

I cannot agree with you more about parent characters! And “happily-ever-after” stories sometimes frustrate me, too… They don’t reflect reality, and I’m a BIG supporter of fiction reflecting reality. 🙂

That’s so cool! Hopefully, I get to meet those characters someday. 😉

It’ll actually be for two separate projects. One is a middle-grade contemporary novel, and the other is a YA fantasy. If you’re up for helping me brainstorm, either (or both!) need work, so anyone who can, pretty much? I’ll give the tags here, and then put…[Read more]

Ooooo, yet again sounds like an amazing idea!

Thanks! 🙂

Hahaha! You don’t talk too much! I actually feel most comfortable with talkative people, I think, because my friends have mostly been that my entire life!

Well, that’s a relief. Fun! I won’t feel bad talking, then.

lol even if it’s not a thing, you could make it a thing! In the wri…

My oldest WIP that I’m writing with a friend, I refer to as: RotH

My newest WIP, the one I’ve probably mentioned most, about the mentor who dies, I’ll refer to as: FP,WS

Other smaller projects I will still vaguely…[Read more]

*sidles into chat, grinning sheepishly* Well, I’m a bit late to the party… But welcome to the KP forum, Unsung! So good to have you here. 🙂 I’m Lydia.

Another Tolkien fan, woohoo!!! Tolkien is probably the author I admire the most; I’m a big fan! (To be perfectly honest, tho, you’re not the only one who’s never read LOTR.😉My mom read it…[Read more]

I have a slight feeling that quite a few people begin writing because of wanting to sort out emotions, then just keep going. But that feeling is just a theory…

It does get discouraging when my mom is in a hostile mood towards writing. Thankfully, (as I may have mentioned before) she’s never forbidden me. Heh, I suppose I am. I respect…[Read more]

Goodness, the forum has been blowing up lately!! Just now getting around to replying to you XD

Ooh, I love Honey Vanilla Chamomile!! Such a soothing flavor.

Hm, never hear of Matthew West before!! But I know Peter Hollens, I listened to a few of his songs. He’s got some serious talent; it’s hard to believe that his songs are ALL voice…[Read more]

Yes, I tend to write when I have nowhere to put my emotions lol (And I have a lot of them!)

I used to do that, too; it’s changed and I’m not exactly sure what I do with my emotions, anymore, lol. I do still write at times when my emotions are high, though. It is relieving, to say the least. (I have a lot of them, too!)

Hmm… I don’t kno…

[Read more]

Aww THANK YOU!!!! I love yours as well!!!

Writing is really really good, and serves a lot of purposes in my life. (Some of which may not be the healthiest but are better than alternatives.)

Do you struggle at all with unsupportive family? (Just, out of curiosity…)

Same for the photoshoot, and the fact that I don’t think I look very good.

(I think my little sisters have those!) Well, usually I procrastinate on what I should be doing, then school and duties take up most of my time. I don’t have a lot of irl friends, tbh, so I will usually spend real free time writing or planning things for writing…[Read more]

Ohh, fun! I have ideas for pictures/photoshoots/artwork, but none of the skills to actually bring them to the light of day.

What is your favorite pastime…[Read more]

It is a pretty great plot idea. I have lots more that I don’t have enough writing time for, haha. 😅 I’d share them, but I might use them if I try write an article for Kingdom Pen or something.

I do to! I’m just pretty bad at learning them, and I don’t really have any way to.

Haha, yeah, definitely. Yeah, cool. I kinda like the idea of intentionally using a cliche but making it super interesting. For example, I have an idea for a pretty cliche villain, but there’re good reasons for why he…[Read more]

Thank you! 🙂

I do, and I think if I did, I would start with learning Dutch, then move to French or Spanish or both, and after that I’d try to learn Italian and/or Elvish.

Have you ever intentionally used cliches? I’ve been thinking about how to use cliches but use them really well, and not have them be bad things.
It’s actually fun, and…[Read more]

Fun! (That’s still cool, and very nice of your brother.) lol

There aren’t many laws in Bust besides the more secular ones of the Ten Commandments, but there are rules about how Bust works, which allows for fictional characters to visit it.

Anyone can get to Bust, through any means, and always on accident. Wherever the c…[Read more]

Since I can’t really figure out where to put it, I’m just going to rant about one of my projects here.

The first is just a fun story I’m working on with characters submitted by a bunch of people in another forum I’m on. It is set in a place called Bust, and has tons (200 actually marked down and used, but way more unexplored) of differe…[Read more]

Thank you! I hope it stays that way when I am done writing it! What a coincidence!

It does sound meaningful? Good! 😅 Because that has become my greatest concern.

(I had a similar thought!) While MC’s death won’t spark a rebellion, it will cause much anger against him and he will be very painfully stripped of his gift (painful for him…[Read more]

It is crucial that my MC die in the story (crazy, I know), and he is killed by the antagonist.

My MC has two gifts/abilities which makes him very unique and powerful. He believes that with…[Read more]

It is. Thank you.

I’d say I go 95% into being totally engrossed and learned and addicted. It is very very close to obsession, heh. I probably am not an all out Tolkien fan, like buying Tolkien stuff all the time, but I do love love love to read the books, and even dare to really like…[Read more]

(sorry I took a bit to reply XD)

Amen!

Really? It was one of the first things that popped into my head XD. It’s such an interesting name; I got a feeling it had a deep meaning. And I love both meanings behind it!! You put so much thought in it <3

Cool!! I’d love to see some of your poetry sometime!!

You’re welcome!!!

Lol I didn’t think y9u did, but just wanted to make sure. 🙂 Haha yeah that happened to me once… it was sad. XD

I AGREE!!!! katanas are so cool!!!! That wasn’t rude at all, btw. ;D I love katanas. I just like swords better. XD

You are!!! I mean, at least from the short time since I’ve met you, your passion for Jesus is so clear to see and it’s inspiring!!!

Lol SAME.

I figured!!! I’m sorry, I call EVERYONE dude and bro and I mean nothing by it I promise. I’m a girl too! 😉

Of course animals can have moods. At least… fantasy animals can. DEFINITELY.…[Read more]

HI! I just joined too so welcome to this place that you’ve been in longer than me!!!

Can I just say that I LOVE your passion for Jesus? It’s AMAZING TO SEE IT!!!!!!

Second: I write fantasy too! So I have to know: what’s your favorite fantasy creature?

And what’s your favorite genre of music?

And I can’t think of any other questions…[Read more]

Nice to have you!

I love that your first and foremost description of yourself is your identity in Christ. That is truly the most important aspect of our life!! Do you mind me asking what type of denomination/church you belong to/follow?

Now lemme throw some fun questions your way…

What inspired your username?

Greeting, hello, hi, how are you, how do you do, howdy, and any other form of greeting that you can think of (I’m tied, please don’t make me do all the work). My names Power, or you can call me the Black Mongoose. That’s probably all you really need to know about me!

p.s. Never try to swallow an egg whole. It will stunt your growth permanently.
