Elizabeth

@gracie-j Thank you!! And please do tag me once you’re looking for alphas/betas; I’d love to participate! 😀

@kayleigh-idea Wow, your summary has me hooked. Tragically, I’m rather swamped at the moment, but please let me know once the time comes for beta-ing! Hopefully I’ll have the space in my life by then. Good luck with editing!!!

(Also, I don’t believe we’ve met. Hi, I’m Elizabeth. :P)

@gracie-j Just took the survey, and may I say that I’m in love with the idea!! Please let me know if/when you decide to write any, because I want to make sure to read them. 😀

@daisy-torres Ooh, thank you for starting this topic! I’ve been a violinist for *checks watch* thirteen years or so? So yeah. 😀 What kinds of music do you like to play/sing the most?

@kathleenramm I’m so sorry you had a bad experience with a violin teacher. I’ve been in your shoes, and know how much it can suck. <3 If you ever do decide to touch…[Read more]

@wyn-rose *waltzes into the welcoming party late, tea in hand* Hello and welcome Wyn!!! I’m Elizabeth, and it’s so very nice to meet you. Would you care for a cup of tea? I particularly like Wild Berry Zinger at this time of night. 😉

Ahh, a fellow LOtR fan!! *fistbump* I totally agree with you–Frodo gets way more hate than he deserves. Do you…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 *gasp* I would love that!!! Only if you’re comfortable sharing, of course, but I would absolutely love to read some!!!

@godlyfantasy12 Ooh I love those!!! It’s such a unique vibe for a retelling 😀

@devastate-lasting I love this!!! I like how you’re doing a zodiac-themed sort of thing for your characters. Does that play into your story, or is it an aesthetic choice?

@writerlexi1216 Lexi…you have to let me read your book…please I am begging you. (And by that…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 YES GIVE ME THE SECRETS I WANT THEM ALLLLLLLLLllllllllllll

*ahem* sorry about that. But yes, I would love to hear more about your charries!! I’m already so fond of them–I’d love to know more!! And yay, I’m glad you’re trying your hand at romance! It’s such fun–I mean, there’s limitless possibilities to be mean to our poor…[Read more]

@kathleen Heh, it was only ~8 pages or so? So I use the term play here very loosely, haha. I wrote it for a screenwriting class I took a couple years back–our first assignment was to take a familiar story and translate it into a script, so I picked that! (I’m actually pretty proud of how it turned out :D) It was quite an enjoyable process, though…[Read more]

@hallie-jean *clinks cup against yours* Cheers!

Whoa, that’s such a neat way to come up with character names!! Now I definitely want to try that. Listening to soundtracks whilst on a road trip is where I’ve come up with several of my story ideas, so I can relate there. : P That’s so cool that you start with characters!! Do you have a favorite n…[Read more]

Why is it that anytime someone asks for book recommendations, I suddenly forget every book I’ve ever read? 😛

That being said, here are a few books/authors I did enjoy:

Most of Lloyd Alexander’s children’s books. It’s been a while since I’ve read any of his stuff, but The Marvelous Misadventures of Sebastian was quite a fun read, I believe. (I…[Read more]

@gracie-j I’ve been scrolling through this topic and just had to stop and say what a fantastic designer you are!!! All these covers are so beautiful–I’m so impressed. Amazing work!!!

May I just say…there are so many talented people on here that I quite frankly don’t know where to start. My jaw is veritably on the floor. :O

@writer-lexi You…you can’t go tearing at my heartstrings like that!! Dang, I want to know so much more about Caira and Newton now!!! I ship it <3

@godly-fantasy Ooh I love the aesthetic for…[Read more]

@hallie-jean Hello Hallie!!! I’m Elizabeth, and it’s so nice to meet you. Welcome to the Kingdom of Pen! May I offer you a cup of tea? *brandishes kettle with reckless abandon*

Ooh, another fantasy author!!! *fistbump* Fantasy is my fav. I think it’s so neat that you’re inspired by “The Twelve Dancing Princesses”! I too have been inspired–I…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver I love this!!! The typefaces you picked work so well together, and the way you sized the different words/played with the typography… *chef’s kiss* I’m very intrigued about your novella now, so I’d say it was a success! 😀

@gracie-j This is such a neat idea!!! Thanks for tagging me 😀 I can’t promise that I’ll be able to participate (*nervous glance at my senior thesis*), but I’ll certainly try my best! I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone else comes up with! 😀

Well, I haven’t shared much of my writing in quite a long time, but I think that today might be the day to start doing so again. Thus, here’s a bit from my WIP, The Drakesbanes (from the POV of one of my narrators, Tinumali):

Jamanuk’s face hardened. Ignoring Horace, he jabbed at the paper in my hands. “As you can see, your highness, this is a co…
