I still have no idea quite how that happened! But it’s really exciting. (Yesss. :P)
I haven’t really done any of the exams officially (because it involved paying to be part of some such and such violin place) but I’ve unofficially done them with my teacher.

Oh nice nice, that’s great. The other writing forum I’m on I’m the sole Australian all on my lonesome. I’m New South Wales also, about five hours north of Canberra. 🙂

@overcomer Fred is my imaginary friend. XD
Thank you! That sounds like a pretty great idea. -

@Daeus Yay thanks. I shall probably be dropping back in here at times in that case. 🙂

May I be a newbie and ask what exactly this topic is for? Just out of curiosity. Is it like ‘I’m writing now so Fred will write too and we’ll spur each other on by doing it at the same time’?

Ooh nice! I play violin too! (as of March last year, and I’m almost up to grade four) I also play flute, guitar and piano.
Generally I like to try out a heap of different genres. Currently I’m writing a dystopian trilogy though, and it’s been really fun. (because I like blowing things up apparently XD) -
Jane Maree posted a new activity comment 9 years, 1 month ago
I have once or twice. XD Four times in all, including yours. ;P
Hobbies of mine are reading, playing music, doing active stuff outdoors, and writing (obviously).
I have a passion for serving Christ through using the gifts (writing, music) he’s given me for his glory. I love writing and helping others with their writing also.-
Yeah, so do I. I play the violin and have started to become very active in my writing. Do you play an instrument? And what genres do you like to write in?

Wow, grade 4 in 12 months? I’ve been playing for about two years and am only starting to work on grade 3 (yay, someone who knows what I mean when I say that! XD) Have you done any exams, like AMEB? Last year I did prelim and grade 1, because I’d never taken any kind of exam before, so we thought I ought to start easy-peasy.

Ahh, very cool. Yes, the exams can be pretty expensive, but I don’t think we had to pay be to part of something for them, we just did AMEB exams.
Ah, right, disaster stuff. And aren’t a lot of dystopian societies disguised to be utopian? -
Ah yep yep. AMEB exams would do it.
Yes! Often (like in Divergent, for example) it looks like Utopia until you find one little hole or look from a slightly different angle and it really isn’t. I just like the idea of setting it in the future and thinking about fun tech stuff to include. -
Do you like to write robot characters? 😀
-
Actually I haven’t written a proper ‘robot’ yet but I’m hoping to soon! I’ve got several scenes sketched out that I think will be pretty fun to write.
-
I think robot characters are really cool, especially ones that start out completely robot and as the story progresses they develop character and emotions
-
Yes! That’s super cool. I’d like to have something like that but then there’s the whole ‘but now that’s kinda cliche’ problem…
-
Yeah, but if it’s done really well, no one’s going to care about the clichés. I’ve written a story that is full of clichés (can’t say it’s done really well, but it was fun and the people who read it seem to enjoy it 😉 )
-
Cool! Yeah, that makes sense. I may just have a shot. 🙂
-
Yay!! 😉
So, do you homeschool, or go to regular school? (just tryin’ to think of conversation topics 😛 ) -
Yep, I homeschool!
I went to public school for six weeks of kindergarten before my mum pulled me and my sisters out and started homeschooling us for good. 😛
How about you?

@jane-maree, Hello!
To start with, I apologize that I have stalked your and @perfectfifths conversation. *hee hee!* Will you forgive me? 😉
I’m also an Aussie! 🙂 And homeschooled…
Looking forward to seeing you around! -
@perfectfifths ooh cool! 😀 Home school is the best, definitely. Those people out there who think we’re weird…well, they’re right. XD We are weird. But we’re a cool sort of weird, and I love it. 😛
@clairec howdy!! *waves* Ho humm. Should I forgive you? *thinks hard* *takes a council for twelve days* Yep okay. You’re forgiven. 😛
Oh yayyyy!…[Read more] -
@jane-maree Yessss the “cool” weird 😉
@clairec I’m not going to pretend to not be not creeped out by you right now, not 😛 And to be perfectly honest, I don’t even know if that sentence is a positive or not 😉 So, yes, I forgive you too 😀 I’m just gonna check to make sure we did the friending thing, a’ight?

@perfectfifths my life is actually really busy and this week has been super hard. But God is good, and I’ve been doing pretty well. 🙂

@jane-maree Praying it gets easier 🙂 That’s good to hear.

@perfectfifths, ugh, school work, mostly. And a lot of piano…and a bit of writing thrown in somewhere. Thankfully I enjoy most of my subjects and really enjoy playing piano. I have a grade 5 AMEB exam coming up in May. I’m quite nervous, but also pretty excited. I’ve never done a music exam before. I did the same thing as you, @jane-maree, and…[Read more]

Ooh, good luck for your exam! 😀 The next one I’m going to take for violin would be grade 3. lol, Yeah, I wondered about putting down the piano 😉 XD

And another thought that I just had would be: Orphan’s Song (Gillian Bronte Adams), or A Wish Made of Glass (Ashlee Willis) – both fantasy. 🙂

Pendragon’s Heir by Suzannah Rowntree. Arthurian legend and historical fantasy plus time-travel. Also a great book in its own right. Be prepared for an authour who asks hard moral questions and doesn’t give easy answers. Has a bit of romance but even I (who can’t talk about romance at all without getting snarky) liked it.
