@itisastarrynight Blogs, like social media, serve two potential purposes. 1, To promote yourself/get people on your email list. 2, To interact with readers. Actually, they also serve a third purpose of helping you get used to writing regularly.

If you really want your blog to be a major way you promote yourself, you need to blog about something…[Read more]

Oh, and @skredder The themed wedding is a cool idea, but I think themes weren’t as popular back then as they are now, and it would only be 5-7 years after the era in the picture, so it would be more likely to seem out of style than themed, if they did such a thing. 🙂

@itisastarrynight Yessss, you’re right.  Not many people would notice.  But I w…[Read more]

Wow! Thank you, everyone, this is all extremely helpful! You’ve really shown me a huge amount of possibilities for my previously one-dimensional characters. I’m so  excited now! 😀

@itisastarrynight @radically-surrendered @kylie @skredder Thanks so much for your help!  I actually used all your ideas to piece together something that might work:

First of all, turning down someone or breaking off an engagement would offend Aunt Maude, yes, but that wouldn’t really explain why Alice or the other girls wouldn’t like her.  Th…[Read more]

@rochellaine I really like @radically-surrendered and @itisastarrynight idea, Maybe she rejected aunt maude’s nephew, or said something socially unacceptable, like she believes in women’s rights or something. I hope this helps!!

@itisastarrynight Yes, this makes sense. Thanks! I’m beginning to see how I can make this work🙂

@itisastarrynight *tears rolls down face in gratitude* thank you, friend!

@rochellaine My friend was in dance too and she always thought it was strange that i hated performing, because she and all the other people she knew that were in dance loved it. I’m the same way; I have a hard time starting conversations

YES I LOVE GOATS! I want a horse…[Read more]

@perfectfifths and @kballen Thanks!  I think my favorite is actually the giant one because the story is more unusual (can I use that as a synonym for “totally weird”?), but I do like a couple of lines from the dragon poem a lot, such as “I faltered for a moment but/began to argue with the nut,” because it’s so crazy.

@itisastarrynight I’m glad…[Read more]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! *screaming and running around in circles* Thankyouthankyouthankyou!! I seriously love this so much. Lovely choice of colors, by the way.

@itisastarrynight  That’s fine 🙂

Her name is…. I haven’t decided. Let’s call her “Peri.” She has pale blue eyes, very short straight blond hair, and large round glasses. She has a steampunk outfit, but not as frilly as Amelia’s outfit 🙂

And if you want I’ll draw one of your characters in return 😉

@itisastarrynight  Yes, you did a great job! Wow, that’s impressive. I wouldn’t have had the patience to study cloth folds XD

……. Can you draw my character?! XD

@itisastarrynight  I’m sorry, I butted in, but OMW that is AMAZING!!!!

@daughteroftheking  You are in for a treat!!

@itisastarrynight I know in fantasy literature it is common to have creatures which are half human, half animal, but I think about where that mythology started.  The origin of those stories (and I believe most myths to be based in truth) was from old heathen mythology.  The idea that there is a half human, half animal seems to indicate that the c…[Read more]

@itisastarrynight Heyo! Thanks for the welcome back! And welcome to KP yourself. 😀 Always a pleasure meeting a fellow MBTI fan. *fistbump* And an INFJ! Awesomesauce. My mum and loads of my friends are INFJs. 😉 You. Guys. Amaze. Me. XD

YESSS, watercolor is my fave too! I used to roll with acrylics, but recently switched to watercolors and have…[Read more]

I don’t think writing people, who aren’t necessarily human, is unsound at all, but that’s just my opinion. The way I see it, God has the imagination and the power to create anything that he likes, and he’s gifted us with a small and limited shadow of that power and imagination (now that I think of it, kind of an aspect of being…[Read more]

@itisastarrynight no worries!

(Also, I’m confused about your signature? What on earth does it mean?)

@itisastarrynight Fantasy! That’s my favorite genre to write. The NC stands for my first and middle name. Although it is possible that it stands for Nice Cat. 😀 I’m not a cat, but if I was, I’d be nice. xD I like your username, by the way.

@itisastarrynight

I’ve wrestled with this question too. For example, I wrote a story once (think Redwall ) with talking otters who acted like people, believed in God and could be saved etc. I didn’t have a problem with that because in this world they were people, with souls and free will. They weren’t animals anymore. They just alagorically…[Read more]

@rochellaine What kind of illustrations are you looking for? Simple drawings or more detailed? Cartoon or realistic? Do you know when you’d need them? Also, are you looking for paid illustrations or free? You can view my work on my blog. I have done illustrations before, but only for myself.

However, there are many other amazing artists here on…[Read more]
