@kate-flournoy: Yes, Maps are so epic! We have a huge poster map for Middle-earth from the Hobbit that my brother got for his b-day, and I like to look at it sometimes and find all the places I know – Lothlorian, the Shire, Rivendell, Minas Tirith.

@kate-flournoy: You like drawing maps?? 😀 😀 I love maps in books, especially Fantasy, because it helps you kind of follow the heroes’ journeys.

@dragon-snapper: I like drawing maps (I use a PC program called GIMP) I once made a map for a friend’s story, which she loved, I’ve made a few maps of my own worlds, too.

@emma-flournoy: Yes, YouTube is great for things like that! And I do agree with you; Lindsey’s style is a little strange – and uncomfortable-looking.

@Gabrielle: Thank you! I…[Read more]

I’m afraid realistic children’s stories aren’t my area of expertise either (in fact I just realised that everything I’ve ever done in that genre was either fantasy or sci-fi). Have you tried searching ‘children story prompts’ on Pinterest? I did just now and some thought-provoking ones came up. My favourite one probably was “It is now legal for…[Read more]

@alia: That sounds like a fairly common disease, unfortunately. : Well then, see what I had written to @emma-flournoy 😀 Have you ever done any exams? (is that even a thing in the U.S?)

@alia: Thank you! How long have you been playing? 😀

@emma-flournoy: Well, if you’re ever in a real funk and need major inspiration, just search for violinists on YouTube. Some of my favourites are Lindsey Stirling, Taylor Davis and Taryn Harbridge. They do a lot of Lord of the Rings and other movie soundtrack covers.

@emma-flournoy: Yes I did, it was one of my pieces from my grade 1 exam, and yes it was, I enjoyed it immensely! Let me know how you go in your violin-ing journey and if you keep pursuing it! I hope that you do. 🙂

@emma-flouroy: Yes I did, it was one of my pieces from my grade 1 exam, and yes it was, I enjoyed it immensely! Let me know how you go in your violin-ing journey and if you keep pursuing it! I hope that you do. 🙂

@emma-flournoy: No, it didn’t feel old (it looked it, simply because the design was slightly different) It felt amazing! It had a beautiful, deep, warm sound. When he was offering someone to play it, I thought he was talking to my teacher, but then he handed it to me. I want to say “No” our of pure nervousness, but how often do you get to play a…[Read more]

@rolena-hatfield: Thank you! Oh, and thanks for the link, I’ll be sure to check it out!
As for violin, I have been taking lessons by the best teacher ever! (She’s actually from the States) We do it in her home (now, not at first) and we all have such a good time we usually go over half an hour. She’s picky, especially about me playing loud, but I…[Read more]

@daeus I got 875 words done. Though I have to leave for work now so I won’t be doing much else for a while.

@Daeus, I’m going to be writing on the next installment of a serial story for the next half-hour or so…

@dragonsnapper Yes, indeed you are! And I have a feeling I’ll find modern fiction challenging, too, at first. I mainly write fantasy and make my own worlds. And no, I haven’t read Brotherband. What’s it about?

By the way, does anyone know if it’s possible to share stories somewhere on this site, like uploading documents or something??? :O

Aussies pronounce “Ant” with a “aay” sound, but “Aunt” with an “auh” sound (actually, I’m more prone to pronounce it like “Ant” – my Dad is American, so I have two influences there) There’s your grammar lesson for the day (night) XD

I haven’t actually read or watched Les Mis (I wasn’t even aware is was a book, but I probably should have guessed…[Read more]

@greta Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are the second American I have come across so far in my New Adventures on Social Media (Slack and KP 😛 ) to say how you like different Australian spellings – and there are a LOT of them! Shall I list some examples? 😛 😀

Have you read the Peleg Chronicles? That was the series I had in mind while…[Read more]

Thank you, @deaus! How is that pronounced, like Deus, the Latin for God? 😀 Also, how did this bestistest thing even start? 😀

I found KP, originally, about a year or so ago researching magic in Christian fiction (is it right or wrong? Still not sure myself, but at this point, I choose not to include it), but simply to read the article (the name…[Read more]

@sarah hoven Thank you! 🙂

@bluejay So far away! 😀

@bluejay When I said very sick, I meant I had what seemed like the flu, but wasn’t, and it just lingered for ages, it was weird…

Well, no, technically, I do fiddle on the piano sometimes (though for the life of me I can’t read music and translate to piano like I can for violin XD) I have also learned some guitar chords (I used the app called…[Read more]
