So much for “next week”. XD
Anyways, I just posted it, if y’all still want to check it out: https://writersofelysian.blogspot.ca/2017/08/100th-post-celebration_26.html
Thanks, guys! We’ve got plenty of questions now!
I’ll be sure to link the post once it goes up, which should be sometime in the next week.I think I’m going to stop now. I got a good chunk added to my short story, and worked on a blog article some more. It was great writing with you @overcomer !
@overcomer Okay! I’m still writing, although I’ve switched projects now.
I’m going to do some writing, if y’all are still at it. @overcomer @dragon-snapper
@adry_grace I’ve never been one for dresses or dancing either, but I would agree that it is utterly amazing. This was my second year. Last year was Paris, and the ballroom had the Eiffel Tower in the middle. Before that it was Narnia, and you entered through the wardrobe and could have a snowball fight with Edmund and Peter as you came in. My mom’s on the Executive team, and I was on the student board this year. Both of us will probably repeat our roles next time around. If anyone does decide to go next year, y’all will have to let me know!
@audrey-caylin @ethryndal It’s amazing. This year we had about 1780 kids. Every year the theme is different, but it’s always super in depth. This year is was all the big homeschool fandoms, so like the ballroom was Star Wars (with the Death Star in the middle) We had full sets and parents dressed in really detailed costumes from Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel, DC, Toy Story, Tangled, Mulan, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Doctor Who. It runs from 5 p.m. until 1 a.m. It’s insanely fun.
@emma-flournoy Favorite book…that’s hard. 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.
I live about an hour north of Dallas, just north of Denton. I’m out in the country, so town name would be meaningless.
@Kina-Lamb Hello! I’ve only been here for a few hours, but I figured I’m still qualified to join the welcoming committee! I’ve met your brother, both here and on YWW, although the latter of the two was rather brief.
I also love photography, and my experience is pretty much summed up in that quote. We were on a road trip through a bunch of national parks, and my dad let me use his second Cannon camera, which was a really nice camera and the pictures all turned out so dreamily, and… *sighs in contentment*
Anyways, I’m sure I’ll see you around!
@graciegirl Yeah, I’ve got a strange version of the Midas curse; every post I touch seems to turn into an MBTI nerd fest, so expect it in the future…
As for the naming, I’d personally be honored. I know that I’ve used similar names for characters when it comes to people I know. As far as calligraphy, I’m not sure if there is any salvaging my handwriting…
@r-j-wordsmith All’s well, my friend! 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.
@widdrim I love a lot of kinds of poetry. 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 hilarious quartet of INFJ+ENFP+INTJ+INTP.
@jess See you around, friend! Expect me to appear in a cloud of smoke or drop in from the ceiling.@kate-flournoy Favorite? Oh, where do I begin…
I’m honestly not sure! I have too many “favorites”. And what if I choose one, and the others get offended and run away? What would I do then? (Sorry, I swear I’m not completely crazy…)
@aratrea Of course not! Especially because half the time the character ends up evil or dead…The main hero cast of most my stories is inspired, personality-wise, by close friends and family, since usually their traits are ones I admire and know pretty well. I suppose most of them don’t know that I do stalkerish things, either, I suppose.
@aratrea I saw your name mentioned on one of the other posts when I was poking around…I mean that in a non-creepy, anti-stalkerish way, of course. Although…writers are a little stalkerish, come to think of it. We watch people, analyze them, and then write characters based off of them…My point was, it’s nice to actually meet you!
I have not read either, although now I am going to go look them up! Thanks for the suggestions!
@kate-flournoy Ah, yes, here we go! This is like the summary you’d find on the back of the book, so I’m sorry if it seems a little cheesy/cliche.
Ashlyn Green’s life changed in a single night. That night, the same night that took her mother’s life, revealed that she was a little more abnormal than she originally thought. She was born with supernatural powers, a fact that had been unknown until now. Her world is turned entirely on its head, and, to make matters worse, not long after joining a team of similarly abnormal teenagers, Ashlyn discovers that not all those with their abilities use them for good. Some, like the mysterious Oblivion, threaten to destroy what’s left of Ashlyn’s broken world, unless, with the help and guidance of her newfound friends, she can find a way to stop him.
