Hello!

Hi RAE, nice to meet you! I think it’s really cool your homeschooled, I used to be homeschooled too! And horses are awesome, have you ridden/are you still riding them?

1. My favorite genre is either action/adventure, or fantasy, though I do enjoy a good mystery.
2. Hm, favorite authors is tough. I would have to say JRR Tolkien (little generic lol), George MacDonald, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Edgar Allan Poe, off the top of my head.
3. I do have a WIP currently, it’s a medieval adventure with a mix of fantasy, and I have been working on it for a month or two now.
4. Man, that’s really hard, I have so many favorite MC’s! I really love Percy Jackson, Wirt from Over the Garden Wall, and Prince Valiant from the comics of the same name.
5. Favorite Latin motto is either Deus Vult or Memento Mori.                             6. I chose this username as sort of a tribute to both my cat and my brother. My cat is named Shadow since my oldest brother suggested the name, and The Shadow is a noir comic book character that same brother really loves, and I decided on this name because I don’t really see my brother anymore.
7. No, I have not had my foot stepped on seven times by seven different horse, but it sounds like quite the experience!

Thank you so much for the warm welcome!!

Hi -GCRC-!

Three hundred characters huh? That’s amazing!! And I love the newspaper idea that’s so creative!

My favorite color is probably a nice light blue or sea foam green.

If I were going to write a new book now, I would start with characters because I like to get a feel first who I’m working with.

Hm, maybe one song that will remind me of last year is “The Masters Call” by Marty Robbins because of all the craziness of starting high school and everything that came with it.

Your questions have made me think of my own for you: do you have a favorite music genre and band?

Bye for now!

Hello Ducktator!

Ducks are fun creatures, any particular reason they’re your favorite?

To answer your questions, I pour the cereal before the milk. But to be perfectly honest, I usually have a cup of milk with my cereal (milk is like my coffee lol).

Favorite bird is a raven, since I like how scary smart they are.

I haven’t had a crush specifically, although I have thought certain characters were really cute. For example, Wirt from Over the Garden Wall for his unique personality, and Link from the Switch remake of Link’s Awakening for his adorable expressions.

Comfort books are Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin, Percy Jackson (only the first series), and The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux (or any fairy tales or Sherlock Holmes mysteries).

I prefer real Christmas trees because they feel more authentic to Christmas and my family has always had one. I also love the smell, and going to buy a Christmas tree with my dad and younger siblings is a very important tradition with us.

Hm, best hiding place I’ve had is in my younger siblings closet or in my closet (lots of closet hiding at my house).

And lastly, depends on the essay. If it’s an English essay, then I think those can help with developing stronger language and grammar. If it’s a different subject though, then it probably won’t help with writing as much.

See you later!

(I’m not really sure how to reply to specific sections yet)

Thanks, I would love to hear more about your ideas sometime!

And in terms of fantasy, I like Lord of the Rings or Legend of Zelda type fantasies with a lot of lore. With world building, I like hard better than soft because  hard world building makes a world feel more real to me (soft is good too though!)
My WIP is kind of like historical fiction, but it doesn’t really have anything to do with history. It takes place in a fictional country called Terre that’s in Europe, and the story takes place during the Crusades, but it’s not about the Crusades. Its a little hard to put into a category ha ha.

Oh and btw, a McDonalds burger is the perfect analogy for the internet lol!
