@kathleenramm There were, actually.  I felt like they were all developed pretty well.  The mc wasn’t my favorite character… he’s kinda an awkward teen, tho that does play into his character arc.  There’s some pretty good side characters tho 🙃

Anyway, yeah I would definitely recommend it.  I’m re-reading the series (The Reckoner’s Trilogy), and…[Read more]

Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson. Fantastic plot. Very gripping. Also got me excited about world-building XD

Since I was eleven I’ve wanted to write a series of novels about the same cast of characters, but in each book they’re placed in a different world/genre.  So for instance, book 1 could be a sci-fi world, book 2 could be contemporary, book 3 fantasy, etc, etc, etc.  I think there’s probably stuff like that out there (can’t think of examples; a…[Read more]

@leon-fleming Thank you!

The name sounds familiar…I think I remember seeing you around SE.  I don’t think we met tho.  And no it’s not a secret I said it earlier actually yes it’s a secret. 😉

As for languages… Japanese, mostly.  Some Spanish.  A little German. 🙂 Yeah I actually haven’t run in a while either 🙄(I blame life).  So you play…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting Well I would say I don’t mind a little violence and whatnot as long as the overarching theme of the movie promotes a good message…Less would probably be better tho 🙃 If you couldn’t tell by my reading preferences, I do generally prefer childrens (why I love Studio Ghibli, haha). And I do try to be careful about what I watch…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting I would love recommendations, actually–I’m always a little unsure about animes I can watch (hard to know what’s safe).

@devastate-lasting Ahhh cool!  I’ll look into those. Yeah, Studio Ghibli is almost the only Anime I’ve watched (Anime is still a fairly new interest for me). What’s “Your Name” about?

@gracie-j I think I’m glad I’m in the middle… I still have responsibilities as an older sibling, but there’s a lot I didn’t have to deal with as well XD And I do…[Read more]

@gracie-j I’m third to youngest– most of my siblings are all grown up and gone now. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be the oldest 🤔

Hm, just maybe you’ve convinced me to watch GWtW again 😉 I’ll admit, historical romance is not something I normally read or watch, but I like to give things a try 🙃

Actually… hm.  I don’t think…[Read more]

@nova21 Hey Ella! Nice to meet you 😄

It’s E Grace. I haven’t done anything on there in quite a while tho 🙃 I’m liking KP since it seems to be a smaller community (at least for the moment 😉)

Hope you enjoy it here!

@kathleenramm Sounds like we like a lot of the same things 🙃

Well I’ve only read one of KM Weiland’s fiction books so far… Dreamlander… but I thought it was good.  The main ones I appreciate tho are her books on writing. They’ve really helped me a lot 🙂

Ah that’s neat your sisters had an opportunity like that! My sisters and I have always…[Read more]

@gracie-j  Yep 7 (full) siblings! 6 sisters, 1 brother.  Large families do seem less common these days. What number sibling are you?

You’re right, I’m not familiar with those 🙃 I’ll have to look those up 😉

Haha, yes, I  could quote Princess Bride all day. 😅 I vaguely remember seeing Gone With the Wind… probably ten or so years ago…  It’s…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting Nice! Yeah Grave of the Fireflies is a little slow… I almost cried at the end tho, it’s so sad! (Also idk know which version you were watching, but I probably wouldn’t watch the English version again. Setsuko’s voice was wrong, and the dialogue just wasn’t as good, imo.) Anyway. I could talk Studio Ghibli for hours XD

@lewilliams Thank you! Excited to be here 😄 *high fives back* How long have you been doing orchestra?

I have a few favorite middle grade fiction books, but Mysterious Benedict Society has to be one of the best 😉 Do you have any favorites?

Japanese has been one of my favorite languages for a while.  I’m not totally sure why I first decided to…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Thank you! Ooh, sounds wonderful 😄

Well rn I’m working on Japanese… Actually have been since I was eleven… I just haven’t been too consistent with it, unfortunately 😅 It really requires a lot of dedication! Spanish and Korean are ones I’d definitely be interested in learning as well 🙃 What inspired you to learn Korean?

I’ve…[Read more]

@gracie-j *after regaining her balance, heartily shakes your hand in return* The pleasure is all mine, of course. 😉 Yay for homeschool! There really are a lot us, aren’t there? It seems like a lot of the people on SE were homeschooled, too. 🙃

To answer your questions…:

1. Have I finished any books? No, no I have not.  Unfortunately.  I have b…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting Thanks! Yes, I remember meeting you on SE 🙃

Nice! How long have you been playing piano?

As for SG…I have too many favorites… Um, Howl’s Moving Castle, Poppy Hill, When Marnie Was There, Arrietty… Those are few of my top ones 🙂 What are your favorites?
