@devastate-lasting ahh mood. I’ll pray :p
@nova21 Np! I love catching up with you guys 🙂 Ah, thanks. Haha, funny, I also have severe gluten allergies but, strangely, whatever triggered this anaphylaxis is my first anaphylactic allergy. Usually I get hives or just get sick in general XD but this is… new. XDWow!! That’s a lot of babysitting. A lot a lot. XDDD Kudos to you for surviving! Wow. Ooh, I’ve never read those books before! I’ll have to check em out. also YES hot russian guys. xDD
Ah, that’s okay, though. I’m kind of currently coming out of a slump… been writing a lot of poetry but not much on my actual novels. Everyone goes through these times, but it sucks when they do happen. I’ll pray :p but OOH! A spy series! This sounds intriguing… may I know more? 😉
@issawriter7 Thank you. *hugs back* It means a lot to me… it was really scary and I hope that things will remain relatively calm health-wise for me rn… aside from this new allergy scare I’ve also been dealing with some anxiety lately. WHY CAN’T MY LIFE JUST BE NORMAL? 😂😂Ooh, a storytelling class? What’s this all about? 😀 I’d like to know more!! Haha, um… keeping characters from making the book race into action… I’m currently struggling with the same thing myself. Y’all, is there a point in a book that’s too early for action? Because I’m not even like 15 pages into TDL and am kind of chomping at the bit here. XD
Hmmm… I say work on whatever you’re drawn to working on! I’m working on a whole assortment of projects rn… I’m mainly focusing on TDL but am also churning out little bits at a time for HoC, and even a tiny bit for Y&Y. (if y’all don’t know about my eleven wips and their various abbreviations just ask if youre confused lol)
Ah, editing, editing, editing. XD Yep. We knew about it LOL. (Thanks for the edits on Angel btw! I took all the suggestions 🙂) Also, can I know some more about your new wip, IHH? I’m really intrigued, and it’s not on your WIPs page, soooo…. XD

i'll make the winter now my homeAugust 27, 2021 at 8:53 pm #103910Alexei is just… *sighs dreamily* EEEEEEKkk I LoVE him sO much! I have concluded that my dream guy is a gray-eyed Spaniard, but my family thinks that doesn’t exist… 😢 but if he doesn’t, then a hot russian dude is definitely a close second!!!! 😛
Wow, so are the doctors gonna test you to see what triggered the anaphylaxis? or can they know? That’s so scary. 😬
Yes, definitely read them, you will ADORE them!
YAY, I’m so glad you’re coming out of the slump!!! =) Yeah, it really does suck XDDD Poetry is great though! You’re doing the Dragon Slayer thing, right? I’m going to try, but I don’t really have the much experience lol. In pretty much everything, i’d say “it’s on!!!” but i really don’t know what I’m doing… we’ll see how it goes, and good luck!! You’re gonna do AWESOME!
Of course you can know more about my story! If I have more to tell… *blinks and forgets everything i’ve developed* Oh wait! I actually started developing this idea bc of this picture I had in my head of the MC going to a party/gala for rich, important people and recruiting some brothers for her “job” *cough heist cough* She also has a tendency have epic and surprising “entering and exiting of the premise” scenes… I’m thinking maybe jumping off a roof or an explosion…? Or maybe even skydiving… Idk, I just wanna have fun with it. lmk if you have any epic ideas for that XDDD
Also, one of the brothers she recruits is a character from a book I wrote when i was 10 or 11, Will. He’s always been the best character i’ve ever created but the stories he’s in just aren’t good enough for him! XDD
Who’s the best character you’ve ever written? What kind of poetry do you like to write? (like nature, emotional, or story or whatever)

-gladiator, 2000August 28, 2021 at 11:45 am #103916@nova21 I’m going to a specialist that will test me, yeah. Probably just the scratch test for major allergens. I’m kinda inclined to think it’s mustard but we don’t know yet so *shrug*.
Awesome! I def will take a look, then!
Thanks! I hope that you will soon come out of yours too ^^ I just wrote a rEALLY long “encouraging” post on that encouragement topic, so if you want to read that, maybe it’ll help XD Yeah, I love writing it. I am indeed, haha! PREPARE TO TAKE ME ON *cackles until she cannot breathe* Thanks! I hope I do, lol XD
haha mood I always forget everything about my wips when asked about them xDD yo that sounds so interesting and epic!!!! I think you’ve got some pretty amazing ideas right there XDD skydiving sounds cool!
LOL that’s such a mood, I’m always like “this plot is too mediocre for you, my child” as i tilt up their fictional chin XD
ummm….. well, can i make a top six in no particular order? XD If you wanna know more about them just ask me haha
I can’t pick an ult favourite from these guys.
1. Jinlong Yang (I love the depth I added to him, I spent a lot of time fleshing him out)
2. Meichen Yin (I love her personality and I feel like she’s actually real and has big imperfections like a normal human. if I was asked to choose to be any of my charries I’d pick her)
3. August Liu (he’s an extremely terrifying and extremely handsome antag of mine… not to mention he’s the literal incarnate of Insanity)
4. Seojun Yeong (he’s a handsome, arrogant criminal, also so complex that i can’t sum him up in parentheses XD)
5. Youngho Choi (he’s my T E C H N I C O L O R S U N S H I N E B O Y ☀️🌈✨)
6. Haruto Nakajima (he has a very strong bond with Youngho and cares about him a lot. he thinks of him as his own brother <3)
Lol, all my fave charries are asian I just realised XD ( @gracie-j 😉) Oh, I usually write a lot of emotional poetry, but I do blend nature and emotional a lot, I guess. Lots of my poems are about the sky. :p

I think we just figured out what’s going on. As I type this, I’m having the same reaction again – but it’s just my skin being flushed and itchy this time, no shortness of breath or anything. Well, we’re 99.9999% sure that this is a niacin flush. My mom had started me on a supplement that had niacin in it, and when people take niacin, it flushes toxins out of their body – thus stimulating a response of skin flushing, itchiness, and in some cases shortness of breath. That’s exactly what happened to me. And my dad takes niacin too, he says that the exact same thing happens to him when he takes it. This ain’t confirmed but it’s highly likely that this is what happened.

i'll make the winter now my homeAugust 28, 2021 at 5:04 pm #103933Dont worry, I’ll listen for myself and try for my own opinion, tho others opinions are helpful.
Thank you for the advice. I’ll try for a wide variety to get a good feel.
August 28, 2021 at 9:07 pm #103947@anatra23 yeah decide for yourself XD

i'll make the winter now my homeAugust 29, 2021 at 5:09 pm #103953Oh, I hope y’all have finally figured it out! Ooof that does not sound fun. So if it is a niacin flush, what would that mean?
sorry, but I am not the smartest person when it comes to doctory-scientificish stuff.I’m not entirely sure what the class is about yet. I think we’re going to be studying the history of oral storytelling and then learn how to do it???? I have no idea. I just liked the sound of it. XD Honestly, I’d like to think you can NEVER have action happen too early
*cough* I did have a fight scene on page seven of Heir to His Crown…but I dunno. *shrugs* Soooo some might disagree, but I say just go for it!!!!!! At least you know, your readers would DEFINITELY be hooked!!! 😉Aaaahh, I AM THE SAME WAY!!! I’m editing Heir to His Crown, the same time I’m querying Into the Lamp, and first drafting In Healing Hands and minor plotting Forbidden, Heir to Her Throne, and A Stolen Ring… soooooo… I’ve been busy. XD The only problem is, I, like, want to write all of them and I just wish there were three of me. It’d make this writing thing SO much easier. XDD
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! (girl, you are SO welcome!!!!!! <33333) Oh, of course, girl!!!! Yeah, I’ve been kinda hush, hush about it. Building up that suspense and stuff. XD I’m actually planning a post where I’ll finally spill the details on what IHH is about… but I’ll give you a teensy sneak peek, cuz you’re awesome. 😉 The novel is a YA Christian contemporary romance novel… and my first time writing in that genre, so I have no idea if it’s gonna be awesome or just really weird. XD How the story goes, Layla’s dad died when she was thirteen and now, three years later, she’s still suffering from the heartache and grief over her dad’s passing. And the story’s all about her discovering the power of God’s love, grace, and healing… all with a pretty adorable dude who shows up.
I am terrible at summing up my books. Would you like to see a graphic for the book instead? Those are much more awesome.God gives His hardest battles to His strongest soldiers.
TeenWritersNook.comAugust 29, 2021 at 5:15 pm #103954AAAAAHHHH ALEXEI IS MAH BOY HANDS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been soooo alone in this fandom for a while, so I can’t say how
relievedexcited I am to have FINALLY found someone else who loves the books too!!!!!like, girl, where have you been for the past three years? WHERE???!!! XD*high fives* Lol, grey-eyed Spaniard sounds cool, but I’m SO in for the hot Russian boy. If you find one, lemme know. 😜God gives His hardest battles to His strongest soldiers.
TeenWritersNook.comAugust 29, 2021 at 5:29 pm #103955*sighs long and loud* *puppy eyes* Fine. You get Alexei, I get Spaniard. *grumbles to self* XDDD Jamie is preeeettttyyy awesome too, though 😏
Actually, you were the person who put me onto those books =) They legit might be the best series I’ve read. 😲😲😲 And that’s sayin alot 😉
So thank you thank you Issa!!!! <33
Now that were are official comrades-in-fangirling, who’s your favorite character besides Alexei?? (Ik, that’s mean XD)

-gladiator, 2000August 29, 2021 at 7:06 pm #103958@issawriter7 Ah, all good XD I just have like a Z I L L I O N health problems so I kinda know some stuff about conditions and whatever. It would just mean that whenever I would take niacin, I would have that same reaction each time. And I’m not the only one to have the reaction–EVERYONE who takes niacin has that same thing. (It depends on the type of niacin though, if it’s no-flush niacin then the thing won’t happen, but if it’s normal it will. Sorry, ik it sounds confusing XD)
Ooooooh, that sounds really cool!!!!!! The old art of storytelling needs to come back, and our very own Issa is just the one to master it!!!!!! <3333333 LOL IT IS NEVER TOO EARLY FOR ACTION. NEVER NEVER NEVERRRR.
Right?? SO. MANY. WIPS. I think you have even more WIPs than I do LOLOL. (Now I’m intrigued, how many do you actually have??? XDDD)
WAIT HOLD UP. THERE’S AN “HEIR TO HER THRONE”? why did i just catch this now- IS THIS A HTHC CANON THINGY THING
EEEK YAY! THANK YOU! 😀 <3 Yo, that sounds like such a good story! I love the backstory details you have there!!! I can’t wait to hear more about IHH on TWN and in general!!! I really love that. (Cute guys are obviously amazing. XDDDD)
OFC I WANNA SEE A GRAPHIC ISSA SNADLFJGQ DO YOU EVEN KNOW ME XDDDD
