J.A.Penrose

@j-a-penrose Thank you SO MUCH for all the edits!! I really appreciate it. 😀 Oooh, I heard about the Songkeeper Chronicles on Kingdom Pen! Maybe I’ll read them someday.

@esjohnson Hehe…does that mean you liked it? *looks at you hopefully*

@j-a-penrose @cassie-hartfinh Nice idea! Now, to brainstorm… Why should she be jumping off the train? My first thought is that she’s running from someone. Then I think of the orphan trains that traveled across America back in the day, bringing children to different parts of the country so they could be adopted. Maybe the girl could be on a train…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose THE ONLY PERSON?!!!

I feel lonely now….

Oh boy.

@j-a-penrose and everyone else

I probably won’t have time to help with this either. I’m going to be very busy from the 14th to the 17th and be out of town. I’ll try to squeeze it in, but I can’t promise anything. 🙁

@j-a-penrose @evelyn @julia Yeah, they do! Unfortunately, I’m about to leave on a week-long trip for a friend’s wedding, so I won’t be able to help you guys with the actual writing. But you all have my brainstorm now, so use wisely! Also, Evelyn, I like your thoughts. Do with my story what you will. I’d like to see Heidi on a metro train.

@julia @cassie-hartfinh @j-a-penrose These all sound fun!

@j-a-penrose @cassie-hartfinh What if we take the idea of a little girl jumping off a train and being lost, and showing things she sees through her eyes? (I’m kind of thinking like Heidi, from the book Heidi, being distressed that Grandmother cannot see the light ever again) Maybe it’s winter, and she finds a cold beggar. They get in a…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen Well, my idea is definitely unusual. Nobody could top this. Basically, when I was between 4 and 5, my parents took the family on a trip to Minneapolis, MN. We were going to see family, as well as a Twins game. Well, on the way out of the stadium, and at the airport as well, (two separate occasions) we had to ride these trains,…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose Will do, thanks! 😀

@j-a-penrose thanks!

@j-a-penrose Oh, she actually hasn’t signed up yet and I’m not sure if she even will any time soon. I just wanted to ask before I forgot. It would be awesome if you could arrange something when she does, but I totally understand if there isn’t room. I can’t believe there are already 22 of us! It seems like it was only a week ago when there…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose Wait, did you just say “guildlings”? EEEP! I promise not to tackle them the moment they arrive, and I think you’re much nicer than Guildmaster Clout. *wink*

Quick question, one of my friends joined Story Embers and we’d like to be in the same guild. Would she have to request to join Parimi Alca (and if so how?), or would she end up…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose Jumps up and down! DRAGONS FROM PARIMI ALCA! *waves hands excitedly*

@northerner @lillian-parks03  Yay new friends! *throws leafs as confetti* *throws pizza* *throws whatever you were craving at the moment* Welcome!!!

@j-a-penrose *clamors for more snippet assignments*

It’s hard to believe that July is frosty anywhere in the world. Over here it’s hot and humid enough to steam broccoli on the sidewalk. 😛

The car crawled up the driveway, groaning in relief when it stopped after the last inch of our drive. I dragged myself from the car, glaring wearily at the…

@j-a-penrose ah, thanks. I’ll observe and look forward to next week’s snippet.

@j-a-penrose Haha, just making sure. Yep, nine hours of straight brown nothingness makes me go crazy. Someday I’m moving somewhere far greener than the Mojave.

@j-a-penrose No fun as in I described it so well that you sympathized with my situation, or no fun as in I did a terrible job writing about it? :p

@cassie-hartfinh sounds pretty cool! I would enter, but I’m a sucker at keeping track of my emotions with a plan, so….

Is that all we have to go and then write a snippet that corresponds to that? @j-a-penrose

@ariella-newheart @evelyn @j-a-penrose @esjohnson So, guys, anything new happening lately with writing and stuff? If you keep up with my latest novel (google docs link is on my profile page), then you’ll know I haven’t posted a new chapter in awhile. But GOOD NEWS, ALL!! I’m writing Chapter Eight, and will release within the next week. I got sick…[Read more]
