I’d say theme has a lot to do with it. Reading a good book is one thing, but putting down a good book and having something to think about, that’s the extra mile for me. It’s something I strive to do, and enjoy reading even more. @daeus

@catwing Well, I think what you have inside of the book is certainly part of it. If you write a book that blows people away, then you’ve gone above and beyond what they expected.

Ooh. @winter-rose
Well, actually, I’m staying home for college. The school I’m going to–both the CC and USF–are close to my house, so I don’t need to go anywhere.
Here’s to routines balancing out and schedules becoming lighter.

@Shannon I’ve never heard of an Aussie being sensitive about criminal ancestry. I’m inordinately proud of it to the extent that it makes no sense. XD

@winter-rose There are 31 chapters.
@graciegirl It’s been fun. 😛 Thankfully my brother’s an ISTP, so that’s helped. My mom’s an ENFP too. -

Yeah. If you click on someone’s profile, their tag will be at the top. @majerot

@majerot Tags like mine, Josiah’s, and snappers are a bit tricky.
Mine is @that_writer_girl_99
Snappers’ is @dragon-Snapper
And Josiah’s is @aratrea
I’m just starting my sophomore year of college (I just graduated high school) so I understand how little time you have. Here’s to hoping you get that time back!

@shannon You’re lucky you have a sibling who writes. No one in my family writes, and that makes for my life a bit interesting.
I’m not writing, just here to talk? I’m a terrible distraction. @seekjustice @catwing
@catwing I haven’t gotten to talk to you much! What type of stuff do you write?
