@ariella-newheart Rin would probably rather be feared by all, cuz she’s used to that anyway 😉 Uma would be the opposite though

@rochellaine

Its even better when kids like books, they make so happy. Children after my own heart 😀

I never used to outline, but the problem I always found was that I never finished the stories if I didn’t have an outline. Outlines help keep me on track.

Goodnight! (Goodnight Bobert. Be good!)

@seekjustice Ah, good. 😀

Yes, and actually the only reason I stopped after two chapters and ten or so poems was because my throat was getting sore. (We also sang hymns for about an hour each night, so…my voice was used a lot.)  That little girl loved books as much as any child I could have imagined!  Which is great, of course. 😉

Have you e…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Maybe it’s slightly irresponsible, but I looked after him well. 😀

Oh, that sounds so cute! My youngest brother is four at the moment. 😀 he’s very cute 🙂 (I love reading Winnie the Pooh to kids!)

Yep, hopefully you will! I’m hoping to start the third book in July, but…I have very little plot at the moment and the outlining…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’m going to sleep soon, but not quite yet. 😉

*hugs Bobert* Ohh, I missed him!  Hm, do you think I’m a bad guardian for letting him use a time travel machine and travel through time and across the oceans by himself?  After all, he is only five years old.  Intelligent for his age, yes, but still pretty young.  Just a thought. :P…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Ah, fair enough. You can go to bed if you’d like to 😀

*helps Bobert pack his bag* *pats Bobert’s head* *sends him home*

My trip was good thanks 😀 My wrists are better, but I’m still being careful with them.

I’ve edited over 10k now, so I’m getting there.

@seekjustice I am around, but it’s very late! 😀  I got home this evening but didn’t mention it because I wasn’t planning to write.  Really missed talking to you though!

Did you take good care of Bobert?  And, could you send him back now?

How did your trip go?

Are your arms completely better yet, or are you still having trouble typing?  Is edi…[Read more]

@rochellaine

You around this fine night?

@rochellaine I could not agree with you more!  That is what I was trying to say about the light and darkness.  For a Christian writer, his stories have to much darkness with not enough light, or light of the right kind.

Hi all! I’m here as one of Daeus’ ambassadors for his book (The Golden Ziggurat and other stories) trying to earn points to get some of his courses on writing. Here’s my link if anyone is interested (p.s. I did read his book and I liked it 🙂 ) oh, and this book is free…[Read more]

@alia @rochellaine @ariel-ashira @daughteroftheking @jenwriter17

Anyone on? I’ll be editing in half an hourish.

@warrenluther04  Welcome back!! Yeah, I’ll accept you back. AS LONG AS YOU STAY LOYAL! 😉

I think The Kingdom of Pen and the… what do you call that place… what, Embria? Emberland? Um… 😛 Anyway, I think the two should be separate, but still associated with each other. Like frenemies. Maybe. I don’t know.

I like the network of islands idea!

@alia I will keep praying for your sister.  I know the ups and downs of medical issues are hard from my experience helping care for my grandmother, who has been better and worse for the past few years.  Is your sister’s head better by now?

@ariel-ashira I’m sorry! 🙁  I’ll pray for your friend.

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 @kaya-young @daughteroftheking @alia @dekreel @ariel-ashira

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]

@rochellaine Josiah’s stories do have a lot of darkness with not much if any light to combat it.  Some of them are a little too scary and maybe gory, like when they torture people.  (I am kind of a wimp.)  But I think his short stories explore human motivations, not instruct moral decisions.  And they sure leave me thinking!  I do like how his…[Read more]

Guys, I really can’t tell you how much KP means to me! *tears*  It has brought light during one of the darkest times of my life.  You are the best friends I have ever had!  I couldn’t ask for better.  Thank you God!

Which brings me to a prayer request.  I have a friend I knew in Alaska, when we were both little.  We were god friends then,  but it…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira

@alia oh no! I’ll be praying!

@dekreel <3 😉

@rochellaine @seekjustice @airel-ashira @daughteroftheking @catwing @kaya-young @skredder Guys, we seriously need a Kingdom Pen Appreciation Day or something. Or a day celebrating the beginning of “‘Til We’re Old and Grey” 😀

@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]
