@dragon-snapper  Ohhh, very nice indeedly.

You know you’re a writer when you haven’t written in your novel for a few days, and your walking around the house, saying, “Boy, I miss ___”

Then you stop…and say, “Oh wait, he doesn’t exist.”

Maybe this pic would help explain the letters of the myers briggs test. I’m an INFJ I think.

As for this DISC test, I think I may be a C-S.

Okay, here is a google drive link. Hopefully this works better lol btw, we are in the process of changing the title, so any ideas on that would be helpful as well…https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/my-drive

Okay, I’ll try Google doc. thanks a lot!! 😀

Don’t forget about @kate-flournoy, @daeus.

@catwing oh my goodness. I was laughing so hard in that little cameo I got. XD

@aviantrail I get ya. Ugh, school.

I’ve played piano for 8 years and over the past year have been trying to teach myself guitar. That’s going so-so, ’cause I can never remember to practice.

@waterlily

First, I love your profile pic! Are you a horse lover?!

I see you’ve already got some good advice and seem to know what you’re doing, but I thought I’d give some input, if you don’t mind that is😊….When I’m outlining, I usually don’t think about chapters until I have the book mapped out the way I want it. I’ve heard of some experts…[Read more]

Hey @naomijackson,

I’m not really sure what you’re asking here, but I’ll answer two things-

@mariposa Oohhh… I wish to read this novel.

Here’s one I just made for a character in the third book of my trilogy. He’s eight.

Appearance: windswept brown hair, dull green eyes, average height.

@catwing Thank you! I like how she’s carrying an apple and a dagger. 😀 (As a matter of fact, she does use a poisoned apple… How’d you guess? XD)

@mariposa Ooh… Dinosaurs among us? I like that! 🙂

@daughteroftheking  Yes, she is fun to write!  😉

@mariposa  Shweet!
