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! 😉

@dekreel Thanks! I usually get my pictures from unsplash or Pinterest.

@dekreel No, I don’t have the Finding Dory soundtrack yet. I just started my Disney playlist last July and I’m slowly collecting the various Disney soundtracks. 🙂

@jenwriter17 I’ve never seen Star Wars, but I hope to purchase the soundtrack sometime because the music is so epic.

Oh, yes do! Dinosaur is actually about 18 years old, but the anima…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 No, I’ve never drawn in that style before. Other than my Aberdeen comics, I don’t usually draw in cartoon. 🙂🦖

@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

@audrey-caylin and @jane-maree have basically said everything.

On privacy, you could definitely use a pen name. I personally used my real first name and my initials–Chelsea R.H. my name is fairly common (I’ve googled it before) so I’m not too concerned, but I still don’t want to plaster my full name around the internet. I’m also very vague about…[Read more]

@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
