@calidris Wow, your art is so neat!!!! I love the way you use colors–everything is so vibrant, and I’m a big fan of that. 😀 How long have you been doing art?

Here’s Mejia x Filip!

Hey! *waves* Just wanted to drop in and post a few of those illustrations now to show you how it’s going! 🙂 (Again, I am SO sorry for not posting them sooner! This summer turned out to be a lot more busy than I expected, so my apologies and I hope you’ll forgive me! 🙁 ) Anyways, I’m not done yet and want to try my hand at doing a…[Read more]

@calidris Hello and welcome to the forum! I’m Elizabeth, and it’s so very nice to meet you! Would you care for a cup of virtual tea? I would recommend the Wild Berry Zinger if that strikes your fancy. 😛

Ah yes, a fellow Tolkienite! I love Tolkien so very much (as most people who have spent any amount of time talking to me knows). I’m currently…[Read more]

@kathleenramm The characters are quite good! They definitely get more fleshed out as the series goes on (I’m thinking of one ((Fitz)) in particular), and the dynamics are all very interesting. It’s a large enough cast so that their interactions are never dull, if you know what I mean. I’m currently impatiently waiting on someone to return Book 6…[Read more]

@daisy-torres Oh man, THIS IS SO COOL!!! Like, seriously. I’m in love. 😀 What program(s) did you use to make it? It looks so cool and professional and, dare I say, #swag. (Do kids these days still say swag? I have no idea.)

@kathleenramm I love the Secret Garden!! I’m glad you enjoyed it–it’s such a charming read. 😀 For me, I’m going to cheat and name the last two I read, since one was a physical book and the other an audiobook.

The last audiobook I finished was Ember Falls by S.D. Smith. It wasn’t my favorite book I’ve ever read, but I did enjoy it. I’ve not…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 Ah, writer’s burnout… It’s such fun, isn’t it? :)))

As for my experiences with the subject: I went through a ~3-year period where I barely wrote at all, and am actually currently in the midst of somewhat of a dry spell. As such, a  lot of what I’m about to say is advice that was given to me (much of which was said by your broth…[Read more]

@nova21 Ooh I love this! (And your lines of dialogue!)

Here’s mine for Horace, one of my MCs who is a magic-lawyer on good days and a control freak on bad ones. 😛

1) “Enjoying the view?”

2) “I’m sure.” [action tag] “Something on your mind?”

3) “My apologies then,” [action tag] “You just seem rather—“

Yeah. Dealing with his moody teenaged comp…[Read more]
