You spoke highly of me. Why have you suddenly decided to challenge me to a duel?

*Grasps coupe-ongles*

A fortnight ago, by happenstance, I stumbled back upon my old, abandoned village here in the Kingdom of Pen. As I gazed upon the empty landscape, run-down buildings, and the sun sinking into the horizon, something wasn’t quite right. In fact, there was something terribly wrong. The same feeling you get when you go on a roadtrip, and then wonder…[Read more]

1) what happens to the orbital cortex when it’s damaged?…[Read more]

Contrary to popular belief, I actually DO write from time to time. And it’s actually REALLY GOOD. No cap. Like, Tolkien’s got nothing on me. C.S. Lewis? He came back from the dead JUST to get my autograph. And Shakespeare has been real quiet ever since I have started writing. And that’s a FACT.

Anywaaaays. I’m gonna…[Read more]

Thanks for helping me understand a bit better!

Also, sorry if I sounded a bit “un-gracious” there, but I guess what I meant wasn’t anything against the author, but the story. (I’m also a terrible writer, and it would indeed be bad news for me if the notion of improvement didn’t exist). So to rephrase: If the characters, world, an…[Read more]

Haha, no worries, I have the memory of a chicken. XD

Agreeeeed, spaceships make everything better.

Ohhh yum, hot cocoa is awesome.  Coffee hater???  Interesting… Do you hate Starbucks? 😨XD

I’m so sorry about your studio!  Actually, you remind me a lot of my sister, cuz she’s starting tae-kwon-do, and she likes korean pop…[Read more]

Chamomile is the best.  I like to imagine being wrapped in a fluffy blanket, writing my story with a candle and the Little Women soundtrack in the background. <3 Then I am happy. :)) (Which reminds me, are you big into movies?  If so, which ones?)

That book journal sounds awesome!  How long have you been doing it?  It would be sup…[Read more]

Welcome Lavender!  I’m Ella, nice to meet you!  If you have any questions, please let me know.

Ohh nice, sci-fi and fantasy?  Sounds pretty awesome to me. :))  I’m writing a book about a girl who’s trying to escape the last ship leaving earth (which is almost inhabitable) to save her sister, who was left behind.  It’s a stor…[Read more]

Heyy Heaven!  (I LOVE your name btw) Your blog is so pretty, and I love your mission too <33

CWW!!! <33 I’ve participated in it for two years but this year I didn’t because school was just too much work, but I agree, it is SO helpful!  I hope you keep your writing streak on KP too!

Wait.  Ahhh!  I’m a tea drinker too!  (wha…[Read more]

I’ll rephrase XD I write whenever I can, but not as consistently as I’d like.  For example, over Christmas break, I wrote almost every day but as soon as school started again, I’m having trouble making time anymore.  So summer is my dream time to write haha

Anywayys, I’m writing two stories when I can:

WIP Emiyn (em-eye-in) is a…[Read more]

Heyyy!  I’m Ella, nice to meet you!!!  Lana is such a pretty name <3

Oh yes, fantasy is amazinggg.  I’m going back and forth between two WIPs:  Project Emiyn (em-eye-in), where Earth’s climate is failing, and people have no choice but to go to space.  Emiyn was chosen to be one of the Candidates for the space exploration, but…[Read more]

Welcome back!!!!  I haven’t been consistently writing since like… um… summer ’21?? 😱 I know, I’ve been bad, but girl, it’s hard to write during the school year lol

Anywayssss, your blog looks AH-MAZ-ING.  So pretty, super aesthetic, and really fun to look through <3  I got November on the quiz btw 😉

@annabelle

dunno if we…[Read more]

Yayyy!!!  I loved that book!!  I have some free time on my hands just waiting for more Smoke and Mirrors… 😉

Heyy, awesome to have you here!  I’m Ella and I write all kinds of stuff too, from dystopian to fantasy to mystery.  I love reading his-fic but i’ve never worked up the courage to write it lol

Anything fun you’ve been reading recently?  I have millions of books on hold right now, but I really want to read The Inheritance Ga…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

True. True. I actually liked the three introductions when I first read it too. I thought it was a deliberate poke at all the fantasy clichés. I hoped the story would be a somewhat fun yet heartfelt parody of the common fantasy stories. However, the rest of…[Read more]

I have written quite a few escape scenes in my lifetime (the very nature of my stories require it to be so), and cliche escape scenes are one of my pet peeves in stories, so I think that I have a few tips that I can help you with.
First, what constitutes a “bad escape scene”?
1. It’s super easy, and it makes the villain look weak
2. It’s…[Read more]

yeah, just get to the third book and you will be amazed. =O

dunno, i’ve never thought about exercising just to see how many pushups i can do lol.  how bout you?? :))  also, i’m starting to get into crossfit, which is kinda fun.

you didn’t have to cross the “better than a comedian” part out. I’ll take that compliment proudly.

Thanks for the story, the yoda quote, and tips. But honestly, time isn’t my problem. I have several hours of free time a day where I just lay down and stare up at the sky and contemplate my life and daydream about what could have…[Read more]

And thanks for your blessing. I’ll need it.

That said, I only like Attack on Titan.

And maybe Full Metal Alchemist.

And To Your Eternity.

And Erased.

And Death Note.

And The Promised Neverland.

And Your Lie In April.

And Hunter X Hunter.

But other than that, there definitely isn’t any…[Read more]

Okay. I’m going back to the gym now. This was way too much nerdy book stuff for one day.

IT’S LEG DAY BABY LEZZ GOOOO!

Hello folks. It’s time to crush some hearts and dreams.

I’ve been around this forum long enough to notice that The Wingfeather Saga is somewhat of a staple favorite among this community. Right up there with Narnia and Lord of…[Read more]

I’ll let you believe whatever you want. 🙂

I’ll give you a hint.

Between ages 5-30

Hope that narrows it down a little bit.

hey Lin, thanks so much!  it’s so hard to balance, i know!  that’s what i need to hear right now… i might fall asleep on my homework haha :))  slowing down is something i’d love to do, but i just don’t feel like it’s possible right now.  even though it probably is. :))  and i’ll definitely remember to contact you some…[Read more]

i mean, with school and basketball and stuff, it’s hard for me to get in the gym, so i mostly do bodyweight stuff at my house in between studying breaks.  also, depending on your schedule, if you can w…[Read more]

your life fell apart? Aww, man. Dude, I can relate. One time, I was making a sandwich. It was gonna be a really good sandwich ya know? With ham. turkey? I think probably some salami as well. What kind of cheese? Probably some cheddar. We didn’t have any mayo. So I went to put some mustard on it, as you do. And as I was pouring,…[Read more]
