@waterlily I have soooo many books on horse care and training. I’ve been studying natural horsemanship and I’ve gone to a Clinton Anderson clinic.

Yes, I am dying waiting until summer when the season starts. My teacher said some of the clinics we’ll learn how to lunge horses and work them from the ground, so that’ll be great experience for me.…[Read more]

@seekjustice Lol, yeah might not want to yell out how most of the characters end up at the end of the book! That guy will find out for himself one day…..

I didn’t know you ride horses! (or did i?) Do you have a favorite breed?

@seekjustice @perfectfifths Yup, fallen off a horse twice and almost two other times. No broken bones…[Read more]

@seekjustice *gasps* I’ve seen your blog before! Been stalking following it off and on. It looks great!😉

@dekreel Awesome! I like the girl with the hat too.

@sarah-anson This is great! I’ve literally drawn one boy in my whole life and it didn’t turn out boyish enough

@epicaddie2  One more thing…this is a story that has inspired me in the darkest times of my life.

One night a man had a dream. He dreamt he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints on the sand — one belonging to him and the other to the Lord. When…[Read more]

@epicaddie2  I wish I could hug you right now!  I totally know what you’re going through…I’ve been there myself and it’s so easy to lose sight of the fact that God is there with us no matter what.  And if it’s any encouragement, you have friends here.  Hang in there and keep plowing through.  God has something absolutely beautiful plan…[Read more]

Here are a few (they all mean star in various languages):

Astra, Astrophel, Dara, Seren, Stella, Tara…

Hopefully these are helpful.  I love your new profile pic, by the way!  🙂

@princessfoo Your WIP sounds cool. I’ve heard the portal thing is a little cliche, but I really like the idea. 😉I’m sure you can turn that cliche on its head and make it unique though👍

@rochellaine OH, SPANISH MOSS!!! Yes, that is gorgeously mysterious!

@princessfoo Heheh, that’s funny. I can totally imagine that happening to me.

@mariposa Yeah I think I’ve gotten the “How you gonna pay the bills?” question at least once.

Funny the mistakes we make in writing…..Thank goodness for editing………i guess. 🤔

@dragon-snapper I feel your pain! Maybe you just need to step away from the novel for a few days and literally not think about it ONE BIT. Then you might feel more refreshed coming back to it. What seems to snap me out of writer’s block pretty consistently is listening to music for the scene I’m stuck on. that really gets me in the mood. Maybe…[Read more]

Okay, I redid it. Here is the entire script:

*gives person business card* “Here. This way I can send you a prompt, civilized introduction to my novel.”

@kate-flournoy

@dekreel See Nick’s face. That’s me. HAHA!

*melts chair*

@dekreel

Here.

“I’m so SHINY!”

“I’m a rumor weed. A tiny little story is all I need…”

“Cause he loves you cheeseburger, with all his heart. And there ain’t nothing ever going to tear you two apart. And if the world totally ran out of cheese, he would get down on his hands and knees. And he would wipe it up for you. WIPE IT UP FOR YOU. CLE…[Read more]

@dekreel

One of these days.

Random social stranger at a random social function: “Oh, you write books? Cool! What’s your book about?”

Me, randomly trying to function socially: *stilted grin and shivering, nervous laugh* “Here, let me… let me…” *digs out notebook with a triumphant flourish* “I wrote it down!”

XD

@Dragon-snapper

@kate-flournoy And now it’s working. Weird. But I’ll still take that chocolate.

Oh yeah. I would love it if someone said something — not “What’s your book about?” — to “Here’s my email so you can send me the book.” XD But of course…I’d rather not give my email to random strangers.

No thanks.

Yeah. Definitely need more practice. “Hi, mirror.…[Read more]

@that_writer_Girl_99 XD Sorry. I haven’t been on in a while… My brain must be losing its automatic tags.

*takes the best of luck and leaves the melted chairs for everyone else*

@Dragon-Snapper ugh I am so sorry. I have no idea why it does that to you. *offers you conciliatory chocolate*

Yeah… trying to pitch your book on the spur of the moment is torture. Especially if the person is just trying to make conversation and you can tell they really don’t care. And then you walk away from the encounter and think of a dozen…[Read more]

@valtmy Welcome to KP! 😀

@sam-kowal ‘s right. But worry not, I’ve tried to instigate a rebellion myself. XD Even though I’m the one who made @daeus king.

Anyway, randomness aside; I’m Dragon Snapper. Most people here just call me Snapper though, cause why would you have to write down Dragon Snapper EVERY SINGLE TIME. XD

Glad to see another…[Read more]
