lol, thank you both for sharing your advice! @dekreel @mnvalentine

It’s Monday, and that means the weekly fun email is very close! If you haven’t already, drop your words of wisdom here and get a chance to be in the newsletter! 😉

@jenwriter17 I love manga style! 😀 I like drawing in it, but it can be rather challenging.

Here’s an example of my most recent attempt at the manga/anime style. 🙂

@jenwriter17  For good measure…….

I drew this one (below) for a character Xchange:

And finally, one of my absolute favorite villains of all time…

I do have better examples, I just happen to not have pictures of them 😛

@dekreel I haven’t really tried manga before.  The one time I tried it, he kind of looked like a Roman monkey….

I like mine to be the most necessary lines and nothing more. Like this:

I drew that for the Leumeister a while back.

@jenwriter17  YES I LOVE DRAWING MANGA STYLE!!!!!!

I’m still learning proportions and stuff, but I really enjoy it!! 😀

Other artists: @catwing  @dragon-snapper  @sage-g  @ingridrd  @my-mind-is-blank…

I don’t know if they draw manga style but……..

Well, I do anyway 🙂

Can I see some of your manga? 😀

@Seekjustice

I’m happy saying that I live in Australia, rural NSW because there is a lot of rural NSW so the chances of anyone tracking me down is quite slim.

Oh my word. XD True though. No one is going to scour all of rural NSW for you. XP

@Jenwriter17 Pen names are tricky…I personally gave up thinking of one and just went with my first na…[Read more]

@daughteroftheking Ooh… That’s pretty cool! 🙂

@jenwriter17 Ooh boy. Pen names? Welllll…

To get ideas you could always find a name from one of your stories–whether obscure or not.
I don’t think you need your pen name to be completely random either. I mean, if you want it to be, by all means let it be. XD However, I think your name could have more significance if it had some attatchment…[Read more]

@epicaddie2  I can’t believe I didn’t see the Beast until now!! I saw the Catwing, but not the beast! *smacks head*

Huh! O-O

That’s pretty accurate, actually. And, I must say, pretty good!

@mariposa  @cloudy  So where do you guys find your pictures for your typography?

XD Haha, how unfortunate! @jane-maree

Annnnnd I got distracted reading blogs. I finished reading the haikus XD

You know you’re a writer when you are riding in a car, and you look over to the person driving the car right next to you, and you start brainstorming who he or she is

@mariposa  @cloudy  @daughteroftheking  :-O Those are AWESOME. Why aren’t I on this topic more often…?

@winter-rose  @dragon-snapper  @catwing  @aislinn-mollisong  @seekjustice  @writers

I’m making notes for an article…/Getting distracted and reading my haikus XD

@mariposa  Have you ever heard the Finding Dory soundtrack? It’s AMAZING

@skredder  If you haven’t checked out the Writers’ Corner yet, you should do it! Kinda get a feel about what kind of topic this is, ya know.

@Jenwriter17 I basically second everything that Audrey said.

Getting people to read and know you and your blog is simply  a three step matter. (‘simply’ but not ‘simple’ XD)

1) Spend time on other blogs with similar content and styles to yours. Comment regularly, maybe guest post, just be present in the blogger community so that people know y…[Read more]

@Jenwriter17 As someone who writes and reads dystopian quite frequently, I think the main biggest cliche is “MC is a teen who leads a rebellion against the evil government and wins”

As Josiah said, I 10000% recommend reading into some of the good-ol’ dystopian novels like Fahrenheit 451 and the others he mentioned. Along with other more recent…[Read more]

@Daughteroftheking oh my wooooord yes. XD I was giggling through that entire section.
