Awesome!! I’ll go over when I get to reading The Silm after the other book I’m working on. 🙂 It was AWFUL. Especially because I love reading so much, and there was so much I wanted to read, I just literally couldn’t pick up a book and read it, except when I really had to, like for school. I WILL!!!! We. Will. Rant.
I’d dedicated a whole set of shelves to his books, if I had the money and space. THAT’S GENIUS! I’d go into the woods near my house, but there’re often hunters. 😢 (HE READ THE WHOLE THING, TOO. And mostly enjoyed it; he said it was like a history book, and interesting for the most part.) Maybe I will. 😆 I might save for books instead.
YESSS!! Two of them have worldwide conflicts, but the third is still a little underdeveloped for that, yet. YEAHHH, I mean, I have more, but those three are the most developed so far. (Well, there’re actually five, but I don’t count two because one’s Marvel based, and the other heavily involves fictional characters (it’s Bust, if you want to know) and so I don’t think I should count it).
I CAN’T WAIT!!
Cool Lina beans! Tag meee, please!!

@emilysf, WOW!! The idea of the world Bust is just so ridiculously fun!! It sounds like an absolute delight to write! You have some amazing ideas!
Also, my brother got me the Evenstar necklace one year for my birthday… (Random fact that literally no one needed to know) LOL
No moment is wasted, that is spent on God's glory
@unsung, I will admit, it is pretty fun. 🙃 To just imagine and make up in my head and to write. Aww, heh, thank you. I do try. 😊
Fun! (That’s still cool, and very nice of your brother.) lol
"[Write] today like there's no tomorrow!"
Well, you try very well then, to your credit!
Do you know/want to learn another language(s)?
No moment is wasted, that is spent on God's glory
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 I once wrote a story with a kind of cliche twist. It was a story about a strong warrior woman, but the twist was she didn’t really want to be a strong warrior woman and was just chill with being a normal girly woman, but she still enjoyed being warrior-like at time."[Write] today like there's no tomorrow!"
That’s cool! I love languages!
Hmm…. good question! I think I do at times, just not terribly much. I know I intentionally don’t use them LOL. Like, instead of putting “he ran as fast as lightning” I would do something like “He ran faster than a tiger with its tail on fire” or something like that. XD as far as very general clichés… I do have a lot of warrior-like women, I find. But generally those characters are one with mysterious backgrounds, who hide their emotions away and then one day it just all pours out. Those are the ones I focus most on character development, because even if the woman thinks their identity is solely warrior, we know it’s not. Those characters are the most… “human” I suppose you could say.

@unsung (do you want me to stop tagging you?)
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 had the cliche characteristics he does. It’s pretty fun.
My newest WIP is actually based on the cliche that: there is a mentor, and the mentor always dies. It isn’t a story about a chosen one, but he is a mentor and he does die. It’s actually pretty fun, because I also get to go into the viewpoint of “we think adults have it all figured out, but they really don’t” and the viewpoint of what it’s like for the mentor. 😂

@emilysf (Do you want me to stop tagging? LOL)
No, please don’t stop tagging me, as I know you’ve posted something because KP emails me when you tag me!
Lol yes, I suppose it could be lots of fun!
Ohhhh sounds like another great plot idea!

@unsung, ok, cool Lina beans. (You can if you want. I’ve it set so I get an email, even without the tag. 😉)
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.
"[Write] today like there's no tomorrow!"
Lol Love that expression! (Okay, cool!)
Ooooo, yes! That would be cool! Yes, I have so many ideas inside my head, mostly for writing, but some for Fantasy pictures/photoshoots/artwork too! I thought of one just the other night XD
No moment is wasted, that is spent on God's glory
@unsung, me too. It’s actually the result of an association I have with a girl names Melina and my saying “cool lima beans” then having it changed to “cool Lina beans” by a mutual friend.
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 besides writing?
"[Write] today like there's no tomorrow!"
Lol that’s great!
I can do artwork somewhat, but I’m not the greatest at it! The photoshoot I could do, but I’d have to make the costumes and all that, and I’m broke lol
Hmmm… goooood question. I really like any form or art I can get my hands on really. I enjoy diamond paintings very much! (If you haven’t heard of them, it’s like a paint-by-number only with little rhinestones!) But also working in the youth ministry takes up a fair amount of my time! I don’t have much free time between school and weekly commitments, so when I do have free time I’m usually writing. But I do love writing, art, and just hanging out with friends and family honestly!
How about you?

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 or on online forums I belong to. (There are two, besides this one, and one is for writers from my school.)
"[Write] today like there's no tomorrow!"
Lol, yes, I forgot to mention I would use someone else for the photoshoot; I would be the photographer and director XD
(That’s cool!) Yeah, that’s fun! and a lot of forums, too! I love writing so much! 😀
No moment is wasted, that is spent on God's glory
@unsung, ah, makes sense, haha. I probably shouldn’t have assumed, anyway.
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…)
