I have a sort of recurring quirk that in any book where its appropriate (ie, historically or culturally accurate) I have a character that drinks black coffee. I know absolutely no one who drinks black coffee in real life, but I just noticed one day that I did it heaps and now it’s an inside joke for me.

Also a have a lot of…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver That’s super close to my mom’s type! She just has 3 instead of 4. 🙂

@gracie-j Now that I’ve announced the thing for Saturday, I can tell you what it is. ;D I’m recording a panel interview with four Christian authors, which will go up next Tuesday! 😀 😀 It’ll be Miranda Marie, Mattie May, Angela Watts, and Brian McBride. ^-^

Sooo, the reason tests aren’t as reliable is because they measure behavior. The enneagram…[Read more]

@gracie-j

A character who is obsessed with a cane? How does one obsess over a cane? Never leave it out of sight, paint portraits of them, take it out on a stroll? I’m suddenly very interested.

And physical quirks totally count. What kind of physical quirks do your characters have?

I remember while writing this forum topic…[Read more]

I’ll be one for a while if anyone wants to join me. 🙂

@gracie-j Are you still here?

@gracie-j Ah, the black hole of Pinterest. I’m well-acquainted. ;D

Sooo… first of all, may I explain why tests are less accurate than personal research? That’s probably the best starting place, as well as the least likely to bury you in a bunch of complicated information and numbers. XD

@leon-fleming Depuis combien de temps apprends-tu?

I’ll be editing for a while… Anyone on?

@gracie-j *bows* I would be honored to operate as the resident diplomat. And, um… black eyes aren’t the best way to resolve conflicts… *gently lowers your hand*

Ooooh. You shouldn’t have told me that. *chuckles* Now I may feel compelled to ask if you’d like to hear about how the enneagram works and why tests aren’t always accurate and why…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver LOL. I imagine Andrew Peterson and N.D. Wilson would be worth it, though. Especially if you can take a book along to keep you occupied during the boring sessions.

@gracie-j I’m a type 9! (Also a complete enneagram nerd, so… if you ever want to ramble about how the system works, I’m your girl. XD)

@leon-fleming Ooh! Tu apprends le…[Read more]

@leon-fleming Sounds like fun!

@e-k-seaver That’s super cool. I might have to see about tagging along with my grandma or my dad to more of those. XD (They both work in big homeschooling circles, so my grandma, especially, goes to a bunch of conferences.)

@leon-fleming That sounds cool! What real-world mythology did you use?

@e-k-seaver You’ve met both of them? Duuuude. That’s awesome. I would love to meet them someday (Peterson especially). Maybe they’ll be at RealmMakers whenever I finally get to go. XD

@gracie-j (Haha; she was actually one of the antagonists for the short time that she was there, along with Nathaniel Hawthorne.) Gone With the Wind is right next to me now, actually. I might start it today or next week, depending if I want to go with Dostoyevsky or the Chosen first. But I’m definitely going to read it, haha.

@seekjustice Calligraphy Guild was honestly sort of wish-fulfillment. XD There’s this group of indie authors I follow who work together and are friends and whatnot that I would love to be a part of one day, plus the idea of having an in-person community of authors who work together (which they are not; that’s just an additional impossible wish,…[Read more]

(All these posts are so long I can’t read that much…)

@libby Hi! Welcome to our lovely Kingdom! I love playing piano too!

I give information about myself upon receiving specific questions, haha, because my brain is dead most of the time.

So what kind of music do you like to play? Classical or contemporary? And what sort of books do you read?…[Read more]

@gracie-j @leon-fleming

See, there’s this manga I like where all the characters are famous writers, and Margaret Mitchell is really cool. So I thought I might give hers a try. I asked my dad one day during dinner, “How long is Gone With the Wind?”

Anyways. I thought i might’ve known if it was over a thousand pages long. But at least its…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I actually base most of my quirks off of real people, haha. And I think that quirks really do make a story more attractive than a premise. XD

@libby

The Hunger Games Trilogy isn’t like any books I’ve ever read and it definitely stands out from your typical YA fiction. (I’m actually in the middle of reading it again right now) Some of the things I like about it is that the characters are complex, the theme is deep, and the writing style is so easy to read without being overly…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

It’s funny how the quirks of your characters remind me of some of my siblings.XD

I have a brother who wheres a black ball cap 90% of the time and frequently orders a root beer, a sister who collects coffee mugs and buys books on a daily basis. Though, I don’t have a sibling who wears trench coats.

For some reason, hearing…[Read more]

Signing off for now…might be on later today…
