@kathleenramm May is a… bounty hunter?  and has martial art skills?  and a loyal brother?  She sounds like such a fun person to be ^.^

It’s hard to choose one character to be, I feel like each one of them has a huge chunk of me in them, twisted in a different way of course, and it would be fascinating and a little frightening to be what I’ve…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdoms

lol I love that haiku ^.^

@joy-caroline

I love your beautiful poem, Joy, it rings so true <3 Thank you for sharing, my friend!

@r-m-archer I just wanted to let you know that I’ve seen all your messages and I’ll try to get back as soon as I can : )

I’m kind of amazed at all the crazy cool artwork you guys are posting.  Wow.  My jaw is dropping at the last two here, haha ^.^ Keep it up you guys.

@gracie-j I have a bit of fan-art for your Daughters of the Seven Seas series, but I didn’t draw it (I hope this counts as art!).  I was playing with words and pictures, and thought of Crimson wh…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver Two Kinds of Hurt almost made me cry.  I love how you wrote that, it’s so raw it’s refreshing even while it hurts.
I feel you with your update <3

A little late to the party, but hello @daisy-torres thank you so much for resurrecting this thread and sending a wave to the musicians.  I get you though, about not being in the mood when composing ; )

I’m a (very) amateur guitarist, a sometimes songwriter, and an always pianist.  I sing, but I’m not a soloist, usually I’m alto when the fam g…[Read more]

@abigail-m I look forward to seeing some of your poetry on the thread : ) And thank you for your kind words <3

@joy-caroline Your poetry was so raw and relatable, my friend, thank you for being willing to share it with us <3 You have a way with words that really hits home.

For sure will be praying for your performance on Monday!

So.  I realize that I should probably start us off.  And I also realize the last poem I wrote was in June 2020?  (yeah, it’s kinda bad…) It’s not a very strict poem, I wrote it in a moment of brokenness and utter weariness (hence the title), but hopefully it’ll be a bit of an encouragement to some one out there : ) And please, if you have any fe…[Read more]

@abigailharder

It’s so good to meet you, Abigail!  We’re so glad that you’ve joined us : )

If I may ask some questions (and please don’t feel obligated to answer!), why do you like to write?  Are you looking toward writing as a career, or is it just something you’d rather keep as a hobby?  What are some of your favorite things in life?  And if…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver Young adult fantasy, yes more recently.  Horror, not so much… I’m usually cautious venturing into it just because, well, I don’t like being horrified and I’ve heard a lot of horror is way too gruesome or gross.  I’m sure there are good books in that genre, I just have never had any recommendations before and I’d rather not go e…[Read more]

Oh, you know actually it might be more the font of your name at the bottom.  I don’t know.  I took another look at it again and I liked it better.  So maybe I’m wrong : )

@e-k-seaver

I love the huge moon xD It gives off this mysterious vibe that would intrigue me if I was seeing this for the first time in a book store.

You said to be brutally honest.  Well, I hope I’m not brutal, but if I’m honest, something doesn’t seem… quite right (to me) about the letters.  Maybe it’s the font, or maybe it’s the key, or t…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver I love what you did with Rina, haha : ) Bravo!

@scripter-of-kingdoms You and I are in the same boat ^.^

Okay.  So, finally getting around to this, sorry it’s taken a bit!

On family-related titles: Yes, generally they are stand-alone, like mom or dad, when you’re referring directly to your own parent.  However, if someone else is talking, they’ll say “ocaasan” – the “san” is almost inseparable in family titles like aunt, uncle, grandmother and g…[Read more]

@gracie-j

I agree with Joy Caroline, To Kill a Mockingbird is certainly worth your time : )

When it comes to fiction, if you haven’t read The Lord of the Rings, that book is probably one of the greatest works of fiction I have ever read.  As for other classics besides the ones Chelsea already mentioned, Pride and Prejudice and The Count of Mon…[Read more]

lol

I guess I wrote my post at the wrong time ; ) If you’d rather not continue the discussion please don’t feel obligated to respond to my post : )
