Haha is it that hard to find people who have watched Studio Ghibli? I would consider them to be a very famous animation studio.

I have seen Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Howl’s Moving Castle, Laputa, Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Porco Rosso, Nausicaa, Whisper of the Heart and Tale of Princess Kaguya. I like Spirited Away and…[Read more]

You’re from Taiwan? I love Taiwan! The bubble tea and desserts you have there are amazing! 🙂

I am an INTJ. For books I enjoy reading Lewis, Austen and Pratchett (I know he was an atheist but I can see behind his words a great spiritual yearning which he himself may not have realised).

I studied Business. Am still…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 Yes, it does! Hmm, I will check it out after I get off work… Thanks for the comments and encouragement. =)

@gh24682468999 Oooooooh, that makes tagging you easier ☺

Sorry those picture places didn’t work for you…

@gh24682468999

Hehe, I always copy/paste your tag…..

You might already have plenty of responses from others, but I think Pic Monkey and iStock Photos have free pictures.

@audrey-caylin No, your response wasn’t confusing at all! Very helpful, actually. 👍Thank you for all your advice, I have been considering a pen name….

@gh24682468999 Thank you too!

@gh24682468999

Thanks for the links! I’ll definitely check them out!

@livgiordano

They’d probably be great friends. XD

Thanks! I’ll check it out.

Wish me luck, as I’ve got to have *something* ready for him tomorrow…

@gh24682468999 I don’t recommend making your story short just to write a short story. Make the story as long as it should be. A story should be short when the concept, plot, etc are simple enough that a short story is all that is needed; a story should be long when the concept, plot, etc need more room to flourish.

Setting is important for any…[Read more]

@gh24682468999

Heh. You tagged me.

Welp, writing short stories is actually really difficult for me. The only thing harder than writing a short story for me is coming up with a character’s name. XD

But I’ll give you what advice I can from the few successful times I’ve written or read short stories.

So, if you do have a big story world, don’t…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 I am getting into writing short stories right now, so I want to see what advice everyone else gives you. 🙂

Yeah, I would advise not really making the world super developed, and with lots of back story and such. With the setting, I really don’t know. It possibly could add a lot, and be important to your story, but I’m really not…[Read more]

@sam-kowal @jenwriter17 Funnily enough your posts came at 3:00am for me 😛 (However, I do occasionally wake up at 3:40 and ponder how our descendants will summarily execute people 😂)

@sam-kowal the idea of mass execution by gas sounds very effective, I don’t think it could be safely done in public though. So I might have to rule that out. That…[Read more]

@gh24682468999, nice to meet you too! 🙂

Hi @gh24682468999, Are you from America? Taiwan must be interesting. I was an MK in Papua New Guinea for a while, but I live in Australia now. 🙂 And…I’m not hugely into the MBTI tests, so I don’t actually know. I mean, I know what type all my characters are…just not…me. Sorry! 🙂

@gh24682468999

😀 Ice cream and frozen yogurt actually don’t affect the fire-breathing, because Stan can’t really breathe fire anyway. Plus, Stan’s fire ducts aren’t in his stomach. If they were, it’d be drinking water that dragons would have to worry about…

@itisastarrynight *looks in awe of raspberry sunshine*

@inklingforchrist Good question. I honestly don’t know. Every time I start a novel, it’s a big fear of mine that it’s not going to be very long at all. But even if your novels are short, it’s okay. My only suggestion for making books longer is adding in more conflict between characters and…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 Hi! Nice to meet you 🙂

@gh24682468999 I use Pexels.

@gh24682468999 this is my favorite image site: https://pixabay.com/

Like all image sites, it has some questionable content if you poke in the wrong corners, but overall it’s pretty good.

@gh24682468999 Good question. There are a number of copyright-free photo sources out there. We mostly use Unsplash and Pexel. If you’re looking for others, Teachable has a great list here: http://blog.teachable.com/post/120193329843/the-13-ultimate-free-stock-photo-sites As long as you use a site with copyright-free photos, it’s legal to use or…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 Hi! Nice to meet ya. And welcome to the forum! 🙂

Taiwan? Amazing! I don’t think we have anyone hereabouts who reports in from there. 😀 Ugh, yes. I definitely understand the battle against schoolwork. It keeps me away from the forum more than I’d like it to as well.
