Thank you so much! I don’t have anyone much beyond my family to go over my writing, so although I know it has flaws I have trouble pinpointing them.

Oh my, description (in any form) is one of the things I struggle with the most. I love crafting scenes in my head, but they rarely work out on paper. Thank you, I needed that.

Yes, there…[Read more]

@calidris The fandom is scary as heck but I love the manga art style and the characters and how they portray authors as characters and the worldbuilding and I also have been playing the mobile game for almost two years and–

*cough cough* The fandom is. Very. I don’t like the fandom.

@anatra23 Ay, for comedy/slice of life I recommend:

• Barakamon
• Yotsuba&!
• Way of the Househusband

And for fantasy/adventure:

• Fullmetal Alchemist (if you’re only going to watch the anime watch the Brotherhood version)
• The Devil is a Part-Timer!
• Bungou Stray Dogs

Me, looking over my lists: I could have sworn there was way more I need…[Read more]

Someone ask me something, anything. (About. Any WIP.)

@anatra23 Finally, my field of expertise.

I have heard of all of these! I’ve read several volumes of Horimiya and Your lie in April was my first anime. For a complete list of my read and watched anime, you may consult myanimelist here: https://myanimelist.net/profile/xiajiao

Well, lemme just open up my presentation that I bring with me whenever…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Thank you!

@anatra23

Oh how many books have I at least confused by reading ahead? Almost every book I read. =|

His books are sooooo good. I hope mine may somehow measure up.*sigh* I would probably have written waayyy to far and ruined it.

Here’s my other pic. I had to put them on separately.

Incomplete sketch. Mouth is only half open.

Aurrgh!! It ate my response three times!!

@elishavet-pidyon

Oh I love birds of prey! Those are some long wing and life spans. Does the fact that they mourn tie in with the book any?

@keilah-h

Are your Ailurids animals or something like the cloven of Wingfeather? Can they and if they are animals, can they think (like people)?

Writing has helped me think in words, to put my thoughts in a written format. But that may be expected. What I didn’t expect was a love for editing.

Yes, editing. Fixing mistakes, taking my horrid words and forming something beautiful. Sadly, I rarely have enough written to reform, and what I do have usually needs complete revision. *Sighs,…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Writing has allowed me to appreciate different forms of story more. While more things may seem mediocre now, I can also truly better appreciate the highest forms of literary art, such as classic lit, as well as extremely well done movies. Yes, being a writer ruins some things because now I can predict the plot. But when I can’t…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Ever since I started writing I read much less, and I don’t reread books I read long ago anymore, plus I think we gave a lot of them away. On the rare occasion that I remembered I loved one book as a kid and I would reread it, I usually found it more hilarious than before.

There was one trilogy I really loved called School For Good…[Read more]

@e-p-writes

Thank you! It’s alright, life is hard enough to keep up with. 😉

@abigail-m

Have you ever heard of Simon Khorolskiy? If you like good Russian worship music most of what I’ve heard of his I recommend.

@abigail-m

Is there any particular wolf biography you would recommend? Wolves are such beautiful creatures, it is sad when they are usually viewed as evil. That was one reason I wanted to write about them. This does help with the theme for this series; it doesn’t matter who you are, what you had done, or where you’ve been, you choose what heart…[Read more]

@abigail-m

This is all first draft, so… you know. Feedback more than welcome.

Note: The epilogue takes place in a world war almost a thousand years later.

Prologue
The sun was sinking, weary with winter. Moonlight was already dancing with the falling snow. A lonesome voice joined winds in song, then fell away. The stars hid, buried deep in…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Oh, and I’m thrilled you are using 9th century Russia! Most goof Medieval fantasy I’ve read is based in later centuries when there is so much left in earlier times.

@abigail-m

Um, I’m not sure what you mean by biographies, but I don’t think so. Most of what I know has come from old textbooks, pictures, and conversations. Most of the fictional books I’ve read that include some type of wolf usually equate them with something bad. Or maybe I just haven’t read many books with wolf characters.

Thank you! I try…[Read more]
