@alia It’s going pretty good. How about you?
this year was interesting lol. I started a youtube channel and have been trying to get out of my comfort zone (like talking to people and such). I’m also getting back into writing again cause I haven’t written written anything in the past year. o_o

But I enjoy writing so yeah lol

@seekjustice @rochellaine @alia @jenwriter17 @dekreel @daughteroftheking It’s been a while since I’ve been around… Not writing at the moment, but I thought I’d pop in lol

Oh it’s been over a year o_o

@alia

Ooh that’s tricky. Are you finding it hard to come up with subplots or just integrate them into the main plot?

@alia

I definitely understand. Second drafts are so hard. What in particular are you struggling with?

@alia

That’s really good to hear. I’m going to add them to my Goodreads right now 😀

Hopefully it will be intriguing. I pantsed the whole thing (which I do not do) so its not in great shape at the moment but at least the first draft is done and I’ve got something to work with. The half-elf is awesome. Definitely one of my favourite characters…[Read more]

@alia

I’ll definitely look into her then! I enjoy books like that if they’re well written 😀

Thank you! The one I just finished is a dark(ish) fantasy thriller about two brothers, who may or may not hate each other, who have to uncover an ancient conspiracy with the help of an immortal half-elf. The one I’m working on plotting at the moment is a…[Read more]

@alia

Ooh, I’ve heard of Tessa Afshar but I’ve never read any of her books. What are some of her plots about?

I’ve read some really good books lately, mostly non-fiction and adult historical fiction! My writing’s been pretty good too. I finished another novel a couple of days ago which was really good and I’ve got plans to start another one very soon.

@alia not too bad at all. Very tired from all the crazy holidays, but doing very well. How about you? Read any good books or written anything lately?

@alia

Hey! Yes, I am for now! I may disappear sooner or later.

@alia @seekjustice

I’m going to have to go now.  It was great chatting with you!

Hope to talk again soon.  Happy New Year and write on!

@alia

Oh yes!  We’re going to have to get together – with @jenwriter17 too – sometime once you’re here.  What are you planning on studying?

Visiting with family is really great. 🙂  I’m sure being an aunt is awesome.  My brother and sister-in-law live next door, and they’re going to have a baby in the spring, so we’re terribly excited about tha…[Read more]

@alia

Hey there!  How are you?

How have your holidays been?

@seekjustice

Well, that should be fun, if you do get them.  How old are they?

Yeah, that’s pretty much what they looked like. 😀  Ten is a lot.  But I think that’s a normal size litter for Pyrenees.  She had nine last time.  She’s a great mom, too.  Usually large breed dogs like that tend to accidentally sit on their babies the first week or so…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I am keen to write it! I think it will be a lot of fun.

Yes I am! Completely certified 😀 The new ones are Bull Arabs, which is an aussie breed which look like Great Danes but a little bit smaller. They’re from a pound in Queensland and just need someone to look after them and train them until they’re adopted.

I love Pyrenees and…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

A word war is where you and another writer (or writers) get together and choose a short amount of time, usually five, ten, or fifteen minutes, and then you write as fast as you can during that time, without checking grammar, spelling, or facts.  Then when the time is up, you count the words you’ve written, and see who’s written…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Historical, alternate world, pirates…well, that sounds like a lot of fun. 😀

Haha, I did the same thing with knitting.  I got the basic stitch down and lost interest. 😛

Congratulations! 😀  So are you an official dog trainer now?  What breed are the new ones you’re hoping for?

Our Pyrenees mama had ten babies a couple of mo…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 As I’ve already explained all I’ve done in 2021 is be cuddled up in bed listening to an audiobook so it’s been pretty good.

@rochellaine

I’m not sure about it being well-written at the moment, but thanks for the sentiment 😛 My next one is a historical novel set in an alternate world (fantasy, but without magic? Or anything…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

Hey there!  Nice to see you even if you aren’t staying. 🙂  How have your holidays been?

@godlyfantasy12

Have you ever done word wars?  Those are great anti-procrastinating games. 😉

@seekjustice

Well, if it’s got magic, I’ll just wait for your next his-fic. 😉  I’m sure it’s really well written, though.  Your stuff always is.

Have you ever tried crochet?  That’s what I prefer.  I think people usually like one or the other, not both. 😛

Haha, I’m cold all year long too.

Too bad.  Hopefully you’ll get to see Sigh…[Read more]
