@dekreel XD Epic. I love the perfect fifths thing. 😛

Oookay, that’s a lot to catch up on. XD

@introvert_girl Right. The emotions in my character should be strengthening them… I’ll try to keep that in mind…

@ethryndal This is for the third book in the trilogy, so I can understand why you’re not seeing it. I think one of the problems might be that I’m focusing too much on characters and not…[Read more]

@sam-kowal Thanks. 😀

@rochellaine Oh yeah…. I tag @catwing

Poem prompt = An Empty Notebook.

@hannah-c XD That’s hilarious though. (And thanks, but I have plenty to write about. 😛 )

I’m writing a science fiction trilogy right now. Working on the last book, then to editing. *headdesk* And thank you. 🙂

Thanks! Looking forward to it, @dragon-snapper! And hey, you’re pretty cheery yourself! 😉

@hannah-c YES! It sound hilarious, actually. 😛

@that_writer_girl_99 Woooohoooo! KP-versary (almost) Congratulations! 😀

I’m so glad you’ve been on here, Elizabeth! You’re cheery, fun and so helpful. I look forward to the coming years! 🙂

@pickupyourpenandwrite How funny! I just posted about this this morning on my blog. XD
Why I Write

Yo.

So…the reason I write has, inevitably, changed as I’ve grown up. At first, I wrote stories because it was fun. I was a creative kid, and I enjoyed writing because it allowed me to pursue my fun, crafty side. As I got older, however, I started to realize just how much writing meant to me, and I started to dream about pursuing it as a…[Read more]

@dekreel, good work. 🙂 I like the small installments.

@dragon-snapper, uuuuuummmmmmmm.

yeah.

I’m not going to be much help with this, cause I do the same thing.

One of the things I’ve found helpful is, like @daeus said, insert hope. Your characters should be driven by their goals.

Unless your MC is like mine, who is just plain hurting and miserable, and kind of takes it out on everyone else.…[Read more]

@hannah-c HANNAAAAHH! Hi and welcome back!

Ooh, yikes, I’m so glad you’re okay. 🙂

Comical autobiography… that sounds hilarious. 😛 Is it about you?

Up to?

Up to much mischief, my dear friend…

I finished my third novel, working on the fourth now. Also started a blog, the link of which you can find down there in ze signature.

I also…[Read more]

@sam-kowal *cracks knuckles* @daeus I had to tag you too. XD

Challenge accepted. Raspberries. Go.

Frozen Raspberry

And the gray of night,

Shivering hands.

No light.

I couldn’t fight,

Tasteless.

I couldn’t write…

Numbness.

Why?

A question…

A question for the sky.

Of this evil infection?

Why the gray,

Does…[Read more]

@christianna-hellwig, You have a beautiful range! And yeah, sopranos… we might be a little biased, but it’s so much fun! 😉

I recently did the Rogers and Hammerstein musical ‘Cinderella’, and really loved it. About 200 people auditioned and the cast had 80 in the end which is pretty big for a musical! I auditioned for the role of Cinderella,…[Read more]

@seekjustice, sorry, I’m wading through school sorting. My table’s covered in paper, but the words on it it aren’t nice story words. 🙁

@christianna-hellwig

Opera! I don’t sing much classic opera, (German, Italian, etc.), but I love singing things like ‘The Phantom of the Opera’.

And I’m a soprano (G3 to E6). You?

Um, yeah. Hilarious, or cringy, one of those. 😀

Yes! I’m currently writing a novel about an Australian nurse in WWII, serving in PNG. It’s alternative historical fiction.

@dekreel, that’s great! Well done. 🙂
