Introducing….Marcurious!!!

Here’s the newest chapter I wrote in my WIP:

Marcurious deftly snatched a ripe apple from the market stall, and sauntered away, holding his head high as if without a care in the world.

He pasted a look of innocence on his face.

I didn’t steal this apple. Nope. I p…

Thanks to everyone who’s been praying for my mom and her sciatic nerve issues. It really means a lot.

My mom has just been really in pain all day and it just is really hard for me to watch…she’s almost in tears right now because…[Read more]

yes I’ve read the hiding place and I absolutely love it! Have you ever heard of Darlene Deibler? She’s also one of my favorites and she has an AMAZING book that I think is sort of similar to Corrie’s.

Oh cool, I’ve never heard of her. I’ll have to check that out!

Kaylin is the oldest child. She’s very protective, loyal and quick. But…

I’m not entirely sure how I want to close out the story. At this point I know they’re gonna get married but I don’t know if I want to try to add another conflict in there or something or just wrap it up. I also don’t think weddings were the same back then; I think they were usually more of a quiet family celebration but I haven’t…[Read more]

@trailblazer Looks good! Excited for the next part!

OK, this segment is basically the farthest I’ve gotten in the story so far. Lmk if you have any suggestions for things that could happen from here on out!

That summer marked the beginning of a new season for me as Albert and I formally entered into a courtship. Albert walked me home from church nearly…[Read more]

How to Write a Children’s Book and Submit It to Publishers

oh my goodness! I thought I replied to you, but I guess wyoh ate it 🤷‍♀️🤣 so I will do a redo as well

Wyoh!!! 👀

I don’t know what made me wanna try thriller. It just kinda turned into one.  It was weird 🤣

Welp, sometimes it just happens like that! XD

oh that’s hard. I don’t know where I’d wanna go. Either Prince Edward Island, Hawaii o…

After what Libbie and Albert have been through? Nope XD

K, I got some more for ya!

Mama made me rest over the next few days. I felt bad, leaving all the chores to her, but she recruited George and Abe to help out whenever they could. I appreciated the time to think and pray. My leg was still in pain when I walked, but several times I limped outside to the…[Read more]

Let me know if anything in this scene feels too cliche! I think you’ll like it.

Nearing the end of July, we were spending a Sunday afternoon at the Culliver’s. Etta and Chester were there; it was the first time they’d joined us all since I’d begun talking to them again.

After eating lunch, Oscar and M…[Read more]

Okay, I really have been working on this chapter a bunch, and I would like to know you’re guys’ thoughts! I know some of you guys have read this chapter, but I was wondering if you had any…[Read more]

It was a dry, dry summer. The crops suffered, and Pa worried that they wouldn’t grow to full height in time to produce. There was also the constant fear of prairie fires. Some nights the horizon glowed orange, from the wild, consuming flames miles away.

I finally found the courage to talk to C…[Read more]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

team libbie and albert here! oh its so good! Your writing style is so consistent and its got the perfect 1800s vibe.

Thanks! I went through a huge Laura Ingalls Wilder phase as a child, so it’s only natural that I write a story along the same…[Read more]

Ok, so I thought I made an introduction post but now I can’t remember. 😭 And if I did and you replied but I missed it somehow, forgive me. 😂 So I’m just gonna introduce myself now. 😝

I’m Esther: a volleyball-playing, violin-squeaking, dog-obsessed, homeschooled, fiction-writing, teen girl!!

It’s so nice to have you here!

I am the old…

Thank you so much <333 It makes me so happy when people compliment my writing, especially when I’ve been really insecure about it and worrying that it’s not  good and I should just quit XD

And yeah, I love that scene too 🙂 thanks for reading!!

Okkkk this is one of my favorite scenes I’ve written thus far!

May 1887

I knew Albert would be coming home soon, at least, that had been his plan when he left a year ago. Not that I’d heard anything from him since he had gone. I didn’t know exactly when he was coming back, until one Sunday I saw him sit…[Read more]

I still couldn’t bring myself to approach Etta as the harvest season arrived. Out of politeness, I attended the cornshuckings with all the other young people, but it felt like the fun was sucked out of them. Every t…[Read more]

Okay, guys. I need serious help. My novel is kind of going nowhere…because I don’t know which way to start it!!!

I have two beginnings for my story. One jumps straight into…[Read more]

If any of you have ideas of plot twists I could add, or events that could happen in the story, I’d love to hear them. I feel like I keep running out of new ideas, but I want to strengthen my story and the characters. Maybe I just need to go read some more historical fiction from this time period lol.

Here’s the next section! Please tell me if there’s anything that feels superficial or unrealistic. (Raegan, if you haven’t already, you might want to read all the previous posts starting on page one to get caught up)

One afternoon Mama asked me to walk to town for a few things from the store, and as I…[Read more]

I found the cave by accident. Funny enough, I was playing in that world yesterday and got lost while looking for cows🤣🤣 Now I’ll have to find my trail again, and bring my compass with me next time lol

Wait. You’ve read the Witch of Blackbird Pond too??? (I don’t remember Nate but I read the story…like when I was eight or nine-ish, when I was still homeschooled)

Wyoh was here 🤣

Here’s one:

My dad works for an architecture company and drew me a little plan for me to build, so I did!

ok. My favorite movie is either a quiet place or where the crawdads sing. ( I watched these with filters)

So you like thrillers I take it XD I can stand a thriller but horror is too much for me, Lost in Space was just enough thriller for me to like but now be scared of  XD But Marvel is usually as action-packed as I can stand

Hi!! I’m Smiley (real name is Miley) and it’s nice to meet you!! I’m also homeschooled and I write mostly contemporary (although as some know on here it hasn’t exactly been easy for me) I’m another Marvel nerd who may write fanfics… I love reading and I’m a huge book worm also

Questions!!
What’s your favorite movie?

Ahh, I see. So it’s not two kinds of stone, but two pieces of a once whole object. That makes sense now!

A few questions!!

• Written any fan fictions? That’s virtually all I write these days lol. I recently found out video game fanfic was a thing.
• Speaking of video games, do you play any or is that not your thing?
• Favorite mythical animal? (Technically what…

Hi, Raegan! Welcome to Kingdom Pen! I’m Nevaeh and I’m sixteen years old. I’m also a homeschooler.

Children’s books! That’s awesome. What ages do you like to like to write for? Do you create illustrations for them?

I hope you like it here on kp.

So the significance of the stones.
the stones are in two different necklaces. (And MAN am I struggling with the plot for this book. 😩🤣)

The stones were the most valuable assets to a certain country for war, because the medicine made from them not only cures sickness and disease, but can also seal wounds and heal broken bones. So they…

You’re welcome, lol!

I can decipher the pig latin (that is pig latin, right?) but I don’t have morse code memorized. I went through what I like to call my “detective phase” a number of years ago and learned a whole bunch of codes. Raegan, if you read the string of words from right to left instead of left to right, it’ll make a little more sense. Take…[Read more]

Janner from Wingfeather Saga, right? I love those books so much. I don’t think I’ve read any of that other author, though. What genre does she write?

How’s this, we all start calling them “soft drinks”

But it’s not soft. It’s pokey.

I call it pop. Or soda. Or soda-pop if I’m feeling adventurous.

But soft drinks sounds….weirder.
