I’m echoing @devastate-lasting that handwriting, although time-consuming when you have to type it all out, is distraction free + portable + forces you to keep going and produce something. It’s also much more enjoyable than staring at…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 I guess I’ll just share a bit of my current WIP…my protagonist starts out in the “real world”, where she ends up getting sucked…[Read more]

She’s an indie author that teaches at the main campus of the international school I attended. The poems range from fantasy to spiritual to life anecdotes, and they’re not just really good, but they also made poetry as an art form feel really accessible to me (as someone…[Read more]

Also, I hope to be a speech therapist, so I expect to work a lot with speech impairments in the future, but I haven’t really been e…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting Ah dear :/ Best of luck to you as you decide about that. You could always do a smaller goal, like Kathleen. Also, do you have any tips based on your past experience in Nano? Because I can really obsess over my…[Read more]

But I’m doing this for the first time ever, with one of my good friends, so I’m wondering if anyone…[Read more]

Yes, being a TCK is always c…[Read more]

Your soon-to-be-named WIP sounds really cool. Can you tell me more of what it’s about?

Also I’m curious why you feel like you’re not an actual TCK… because I think it means different things for different people. Lik…[Read more]

You’ve been tagging me in a lot of poetry-related things, haha… but I’m not sure I would consider myself a poet, except perhaps in the long-rambly free verse genre.

I think for this thread, I would caution that we check our hearts before writing, so that we’re genuinely glorifying God and not trying…[Read more]

I like the forbidden love type (Romeo and Juliet, the song Rewrite the Stars, etc). I don’t know why exactly. It’s usually very feel-sy…[Read more]

Yeah, and people even recommend that speech therapists even study linguistics alongside to help inform the work that they do.

@katherine-h Wow, that’s great! Welcome…[Read more]

@leon-fleming Aww yeah, that sucks. Sorry about that!

Also, to the best of my knowledge, I don’t believe I play the kazoo.

Yeah, I’ve studied at an American school all my life, so even though some would call me fluent in Chinese I am definitely not comfortable talking in it haha. When I move to America in the near future it’s going to be even worse…

Yes, I think a lot of fictional drama…[Read more]

I think that writing in Chinese definitely would be fitting for a setting in Beijing. There’s a book called Want by Cindy Pon which is set in Taipei, and although she does a great j…[Read more]

@leon-fleming That’s right! I remember you joining just as the guilds kind of… died. There’s a thread called “New Wessex Worldbuilding and History” in the Announcements part, though, which is pretty cool and you can write yourself into the…[Read more]

I don’t know what sounds I would vote for, but maybe we could exclude Z (since you mentioned you don’t like it) and maybe X because they are s…[Read more]

My name is Grace and I’m a Taiwanese-American currently in Taiwan, an INFJ, and primarily a student. I don’t plan on pursuing a career as a writer and have actually kind of kept my distance from here and SE because the little time I have free I want to spend more on actual writing than on writing related stuff… but…[Read more]

I’m hailing from Taiwan, so about 20% of the simplified Chinese above is impossible for me to read… but thanks Google Translate 😛

Anyways, even though I’m about 11 pages late, it’s great to meet you! I’m an INFJ and also a student. I think it’s super cool that you’re writing some in Chinese, and…[Read more]

Best of luck in your new job!

(Also I’m with everybody else: your picture looks amazing. As does the rest of the site, of course.)

You must still be working on it, as the link leads to “A New Wordpress Site, Coming Soon”. Can’t wait to see it, though!

If you want a memory tip, it’s g-h, 2-4-6-8 (even numbers) twice, then 9-9-9.

That’s great! Keep it up 🙂

At the moment I’m looking towards a transition to the USA for a half-year furlough. (That means I may actually be able to interact live with you guys more often, instead of posting while everybody is sleeping :P)

Writing-wise, I’m thinking about my goal of finishing my first novel by December (I’ll do NaNoWriMo,…[Read more]

Do you get a lot of Wordpress followers that are from @outlook.com? What do you make of them? Because I think I have like 20 of them now, but Wordpress often doesn’t recognize them as followers.

Some great poetry tips I’ve heard include using imagery/metaphors as much as you can and aiming to make the piece beautiful.

Does anybody…[Read more]

A confession I have is that I’m not very good at connecting to my characters and getting excited about them, and being able to develop even the side characters pretty well seems really daunting.

So how do you guys all get excited about your characters? Are there certain methods you use to do character development? And are you able…[Read more]

@dekreel @dragon-snapper @supermonkey42 @rochellaine @seekjustice @daeus @catwing @daughteroftheking

You know you are a writer when you find the perfect way to describe this shade of red in a craft you just made.

What are some of your favorite movies?

And lovely ending <3 It was totally awesome. (Congrats on 2000!!) 😀

@seekjustice Thanks for the invitation, but I’m not doing Camp Nano this year. Best of luck to all of you in the Kapeefer cabin, though 😀 😀

I’ve added suggestions on the document 🙂

From my knowledge of copyright laws, you only get in trouble if the creator of it tries to sue you (don’t quote me on that, as I have a very basic understanding on all this). I know there are certain…[Read more]
