If one dies, I say See You Again by Grey Havens. It’s a theme for several relationships in my books. Deeply comforting, focusing on the the “there wasn’t time for etc.” regret. I personally love the Autumn Sessions version, but there’s not really a difference.

Not entirely tragic, but absolutely possibly applicable, is Carry…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

I think I do have your email! I’ll hunt down the doc and send it then. XD Old etiquette is interesting.

I wasn’t sure which so went with the first impression. XD Makes sense though. He didn’t look entirely feminine, but I am unfamiliar with anime. I can tell with elves/LotR because of exposure to Saxon culture, but outside…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

It was a great experience! Nothing like sharing nerdy information with people and convincing them to like it. I was thrilled to have fairly accurate materials on hand.

I could send you the notes if you’re ever hit with a desire to read about old postal service quirks and letter writing etiquette. XD

XD yeah go ahead! Idk if I…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle I have plenty of music. Specifically what kind of tragic?

@mineralizedwritings

I’ll look forward to hearing how it goes! I should be able to try my hand at calligraphy again soon, and it will be more fun when someone else is doing it. 🙂

Oooh that sounds nice! Yes, I think that’s what I meant. Have you seen the glass pens too? They’re so pretty!

Yes, I have!! They are. I’d love to try one. They look lik…[Read more]

@rae

Well, I like it. XD It’s lovely. But I can understand feeling a self portrait didn’t capture yourself accurately. I’ve done that before. But the framing and everything seems to have worked out very well. The freckles may be darker than in real life, but you choose what to emphasize with art. As it is, they help capture personality. 🙂

Also,…[Read more]

@koshka

Thanks!

@loopylin @elishavet-pidyon @koshka @anyone else @princessachronicle (did I type that right?)

Hi I made more art

This is more video game fanart, I’ve got the original in a glass backed frame and I’m over the moon with how the evening light shines through it haha

@elishavet-pidyon

Ah I should try the blue pumpkin, I saw it in all the recommendation videos I watched when I started. I didn’t knw it was flexible though, I definitely need to try it out.

Oooh that sounds nice! Yes, I think that’s what I meant. Have you seen the glass pens too? They’re so pretty!

Wow that presentation sounds cool, and extra…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Sounds good!

Here, I’ll send you it by email. Since it’s online in other places, I’d rather be incognito on here. But also really love this alter ego…. XD

@ellette-giselle

Haha! I could never draw friends and family because I don’t want to draw them weirdly and offend them

@keilah-h

The problem is, that’s ME. I can’t post that ANYWHERE, nor do I really want to show it to my family.

Ah, I see. I wouldn’t mind posting because my drawings are a cartoony style. But “to post or not to post” wasn’t my…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I’ve drawn self portraits before, but drawing by personality is the best. I had a blast that one time I made myself into a cartoon character. But that was a year ago. I think I’ll do this. XD

Maybe instead of my children’s ministry alter ego I’ll try actually drawing myself…  Hmmm. Are we supposed to share our work? I wouldn’t…[Read more]

Y’all.

This is so annoying. XD I was going through some old Google docs and found fragments of fanfics that are fabulously fun to read, but they’re so short. Just when stuff gets going I got distracted and never came back to finish them. Sentences are literally left undone. I am now hunting through way too much randomness to find out if I ever…[Read more]

Guys this is kind of a weird prompt, but hear me out on this. Draw yourselves. I’ve done it before but I’m trying to be more accurate to my personality in these sketches. I don’t think I’ve had so much fun drawing in a while. It’s like designing a new character without having to come up with anything.

@savannah_grace2009

And believe it or not, as personal as those things I posted seemed, I didn’t share everything I wrote…there are some things that I don’t know if I’ll ever let people read.

I would expect that! There is writing for other people and there is writing for yourself. I’ve written brief paragraphs that I don’t want to share with…[Read more]

@rae

Your color work is great as always. Warm colors are always my favorite, personally.

I think your guys need a therapist, let’s be real. If they had therapists, they wouldn’t have to question themselves so much and suffer from emotional whiplash.

@grcr

You’ve come a far way! The first comic is nice in its way, but the second is really beautifully done! The art is lovely, and I like the character/thought process in the comic. =D

@rae

I saw the little kid drawing first and went ‘Awwwwww”. Then I read your tagline and was worried. XD The others are beautiful too. Whimsical and also techy,…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Looks like my lovely, long response never posted. Here goes a 2nd edition!

Look out at the thrift stores! I got mine there and I’ve seen more since.

This is brilliant. I shall do this. XD

It’s so interesting to find out what different art forms use the same supplies. XD Calligraphy nibs can range from super straight kinds t…[Read more]

Resurrecting this to share a paragraph I wrote today (from a WWI short story). My sister and I were cackling. That should be enough context. XD

Many were overcome by the pitiful story her life was turning into and brought her nice little baskets of food as if to quell a broken heart by stuffing it with roast potatoes. She even got one of Mrs.…
