Basically, my friends and I run a group writing blog, and we are almost to our 100th post.
We’re going to be answering questions as a celebration post, which means that we need questions.

What would you ask a group of young writers, regarding writing or just…[Read more]

This was my second year. Last year was Paris, and the ballroom had the Eiffel Tower in the middle.

I adore the entirety of Tolkein’s work, and C. S. Lewis is amazing as well. Honestly, To Kill A Mockingbird is probably the most amazing piece of literature I’ve ever read, although Wolf Wilder is also an incredibly poetic piece.

Thank you for your opinion, as well. As for fantasy, most of it is made up of various short stories, although I have a full novel planned for sometime in the future. I lean towards more Tolkein kind of worlds: dragons, sword fighting, and adventure.

Especially any kind that is very figurative and flowy. Blank Verse, Villanelles, and spoken word are probably some of what I read/write/appreciate the most, as well as general rhyme and rhythm poetry.

Outside of INFJ+ENFP duos, I also love the combination of INFJ+INTP, or the amazingly sarcastic and…[Read more]
