@rochellaine don’t worry, I’m in no way, shape, or form against romance!

I just don’t like when something like this seems to have gone on in the author’s mind: “Ooh, now here’s an original idea! the perfect girl gets the perfect guy and they live happily ever after on their perfect horse ranch.”

So just as long as It’s a believable romance…[Read more]

Okay, I’ve got a little bit of clarification to do. 🙂  Mostly because I took a lot of time off from writing for finals last month, and am just getting back into it, so I had kind of forgotten a couple of the plans I had made for this book.  Therefore, when I wrote the synopsis I missed a few things.

@seekjustice and @jenwriter17 This is not a h…[Read more]

@introvert_girl  I know it isn’t the most normal of names, but Nysa is a group of asteroids in the main belt and it sounds kinda pretty. 🙂

Some more normal names might be Esther, Ariel, Cordelia, Lyra, Maia, Nova (fun fact: my mom almost named my little sister Nova!), Astra, Dara, and Elanor.

@dekreel I love the Canterbury Tales. I studied a number of the tales in college and have taught different stories from it in my English classes. I do need to second @sleepwalkingmk, though, and say that you need to be careful about which you read since some are pretty raunchy. I’d be happy to give you recommendations on which to read or which to…[Read more]

@epicaddie2

I definitely relate. I’m a year younger than almost all of my friends, and one by one they’ve all just disappeared from my life. One of my best friends has left school and is working almost full time, so I hardly ever see her. She used to come to the same church as me, but left when a whole lot of not-great stuff was happening, so I…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

Haha yes. 😀

Saying I ride is probably a stretch. I used to ride a lot and my family own two standardbreds and two shetlands. My horse often has hoof problems, and our other horse  is not trained, so I only ride when I visit a friend with a horse.

My favourite breeds…I like standardbreds, Percherons, Dartmoors, and Aussie…[Read more]

@ingridrd Oh my goodness this happens to me a lot too! I’m afraid I”ll have to explain when they see ‘ways to poison someone’ in my search history or something.

@sam-kowal I’ve done that a couple times before deciding to just use normal words everyone understands to explain writing things. That’s hard though, I have to use a lot more words.

@waterlily Wow, only 90 days of training? It’s a lot of fun to work with horses that catch on to things fast though. Lol, I’ve ridden a couple horses that were a bit too smart for their own good!

Over the years I’ve ridden appaloosas, quarter horses, cross breeds, and one thoroughbred. I think my stable only has one pure thoroughbred. His name is…[Read more]

@sam-kowal Okay. Took a break for a while there, but I’m back to reading now.

I’ll check out those stories by Chesterton. I like suspense😎

@sam-kowal That synopsis is great. 😀  Where can I read this book? 😛

I’ve taken to just sharing my story premise.

“Oh, my book? It’s about these guys who are trying to steal this thing from the dark lord before he figures out it has the power to release him from his captivity.”

Never mind that description lacks any life whatsoever. They d…[Read more]

@supermonkey42 😀 The dragons of Pen are against your rebellion. Beware.

(That scary dragon isn’t Stan, by the way. He’s the one that looks like a stuffed toy.)

OW! Stan, it was only an expressio—I said, OW!

@dragon-snapper firstly… ice cream.

*piles up barrels and barrels of ice cream in an old DRAGON*

*Flies with Stan to the top of a mystic mountain*

*Flies into the secret base, where all the rebels and heroes are having a party*

*hands out the ice cream*

Secondly… Ugh. I hate feeling disconnected from my book. Because its like… I’m not…[Read more]

@dekreel if you name a character Peri, I think Dot would be a cute last name. 😀 Maybe its too cheesey for your taste though.

@introvert_girl *coughHailycough* 

@jenwriter17 XD Nice topic. It’s rather fitting for writers, since… ahem… people often tell writers strange things.

XD @kate-flournoy @dragon-snapper I know what you mean. Trying to tell people is like… hard.

The solution I came up with is to have a really simplified and parody-like synopsis all ready, which really isn’t very accurate but…[Read more]

@rochellaine 😀 That sounds interesting.

I haven’t read many Westerns, but I would read that.

@dekreel 🙂 I’m an ENFJ, or at least that’s what the MBTI told me… although a lot of the percentages were close.

The DISC test gave me an I-C.  Too bad there wasn’t a U and then I could be an ‘I see you’

😀 And Stan…

Well, he breaks the tests.

@jenwriter17 😀 Nope. I’m not, but I will probably do so at some point today. I gotta read biology.
If anyone’s looking for a short book to read, by the way, check out Favorite Father Brown Stories by G.K. Chesterton. They’re very suspenseful.

@dekreel Lol, yes. 😃

K, I’ll look forward to chatting later. 😉

@mnvalentine  I’m going to sign off. Happy writing 😉

@dekreel 😀 Awesome!

I can’t wait to read it.

That’s fine with me that you switched me out as a character. I change characters sometimes too.

Stan and I will be sitting here waiting for it, munching on popcorn and raspberries
