Tales of Ba Sing Se is one of my favorites. But, how could I not put The Cave of Two Lovers on my list. Oh, and The Blind Bandit. The Library, Appa’s Lost Days, The Headband, Nightmares and Daydreams, and, must never forget, The Ember Island Plays. Don’t think I remembered all those names, (I had to look some up) but that…[Read more]

*air hugs cuz recently had covid* IT’S GREAT HAHAHA
Yea, I enjoy the challenge. It’s finding time. I gotta tell myself repeatedly to do Korean cuz sometimes I’d rather be doing this, or spending time with family, or maybe I’m behind in school, and have to pick up the pace with that.
I will definitely  check out those…[Read more]

*Excitedly immediately slaps hands on high ten* IKR?!?!!?!?!?!
I still have at least half a dozen questions for my Korean teacher, and I just took a lesson Tuesday. Absolutely everything raises questions.
About the K-pop thing. Introduce me to her or him and then I’ll decide lol. I haven’t experienced K-pop yet, really.…[Read more]

OH MY GOODNESS NO WAY I love Korean! I had no idea! Tho sometimes my teacher, who is also my piano teacher, my employer, and a friend of mine(its a complicated relationship) is a little strict. However, I would prefer that any day to a teacher who lets me slack. I only started learning a few months ago, but I can read and…[Read more]

Oh boy, that’s frightening. (The anaphylactic attack, not the book series, tho writing a second book’s beginning can be scary as well.)
Writer’s block has struck, tho I assume it’s only temporary(I have a feeling). I’ve been pretty busy, what with school, piano, Korean, babysitting, and family, but my brother who lives with…[Read more]

Ah, yes. The cactus juice. Giant friendly mushroom cloud. I noticed in my most recent re-watch of the series, every time Sokka is delusional, or he’s just wild, he blames Momo for absolutely everything. Poor lil Momo.
Korra ain’t great, but season four has it’s moments. LOL all you need is to hear things abt the movie. I…[Read more]

<3 Exactly. I’ve most recently realized just how much of me I’ve written into the lives of my characters. Lol it seems narcistic, but it’s coping.

This is good for me to read, and especially good for me to read when writers block hits. Lol I’ve been there. Priorities get me so stressed.
Recently, I looked back at my writing from a year ago and basically said to myself, “aww that’s cute. She tried.” I took me quite a while to fix some mistakes xD

The premise is basically: Special boy and girl independently strike out from all they’ve ever known, and discover they’re needed to save what they previously left, and the future they were hoping for.(via defeating classic bad guy)
I promise, it’s not as corny as it seems in text, lol.
I haven’t really considered what made me…[Read more]

wow I can totally see this as a Dwayne Johnson thriller from the early 2000’s XD
It was fun to read! I like the idea of putting a kid in there. And I can totally see the sarcastic comic relief coming from Kirk at times.
Also, took me a minute, but Morse code, 10/10

I wish what you said abt your siblings and working together would apply to mine, lol. We sit down to get something done, ten minutes later, it’s a mashed potato war, and an arm wrestling match.
The feeling I felt most prominently in writing my first novel was exhaustion. I had been typing for most of the day, and around eight at…[Read more]

Good topic(totally saw it earlier, lol). Liking the growth I can already see happening in your characters through the lies.
First lie: my character believes this one; his parents are preoccupied and can’t show him the affection he wants and needs. My character is separated from his family and tells himself these lies to justify…[Read more]

Thank you so much, I’ve worked hard on this.
I’ve been working on the series by myself for over four years now. I took a little break, and I’m taking it slowly, so I can put a lot of effort into them. They’re not too long, only abt 55k to 60k words so far. I love the way it’s going in growth. And am happy with how it’s turning out.…[Read more]

You have a group of agents (not sure which branch, possibly FIGs) they are looking into a company (Hurricane, Tornado, or something like that.) that’s is working for Vortex. They infiltrate the business, but get caught. In the end they eradicate the threat.
I also had some thoughts about put a little kid in the story. He was given the device that…[Read more]

An idea popped into my head a while ago, so I decided to write the climax of the story.
“I am unstoppable!” The crazed man gestured to the army of robots behind him then let out an insane cackle. “The world will bow to James Alexander Herring . I’ll kill those who oppose me, and keep the rest as pets and slaves.”
Addison looked over at Kirk. How…[Read more]

A Friendly Reminder to Wear a Coat
the Blustery wind
Chills the bones
Freezes the nose
turns toes Stone
Rips off the ears
makes cheeks Glow
Grips the back
Blinding snow
the arctic Blast
Cools the head
Don’t stay out
or you’ll be Dead!

Ravens are beautiful. Lol, I didn’t know that abt them.
Huh, I actually didn’t realize that. It just helps me think to be in odd positions.
The staff is a working progress. Currently, I’ve decided one of my characters, a side character, but crucial to the story, kinda like Han Solo(idk if you’ve seen Star Wars), will steal the staff…[Read more]
