@libby One more and then I think I’m actually done. XD Are everyday titles (i.e. non-familial titles) attached when speaking in third-person as well as first-person?

Hey people!!! I finished my first chapter of Lioness (YA, futuristic speculative fiction), and I’d LOVE it if y’all could read and critique it for me!!! It’s about 2000 words long. And please please please don’t hold back on critiquing–I’m trying to become a better writer so I absolutely need to know what has to change. (
And besides, I can…[Read more] -

@libby Terms of endearment! Those are another thing I asked about when my post didn’t work. Are Japanese terms of endearment standalone like the English “sweetheart”? Or do they attach to names?

@libby I had a whole response to this latest post shortly after you posted it and I just came back to find that the whole thing vanished. *headdesks* (And it’s still giving me issues now. Urg.)
First off, thank you again for all the information! It’s super helpful, and really interesting to learn about the different ways the language works.…[Read more]

@libby I really only dabbled in the ocarina. My dad had one, along with a book of LotR songs for ocarina, so I played around with it for a little bit and then got distracted and haven’t really touched it since… I’m really bad with sticking to instruments. XD
@joy-caroline Everything? XD I actually have a lot of fun singing in a variety of…[Read more]

@libby haha! Absolutely.
I sing Contralto! That’s so cool!
I love old folk songs from like the 30’s and stuff. But I also love traditional Irish and Chinese music, so I guess a bit of everything from everywhere XD I’m not a huge fan of anything super loud or “crazy” though. I’ve also never been able to get into rap much, to my cousin’s dismay XD

Hi Libby!
I am SUPER excited to be here! I would love to answer all of your wonderful questions!
I am hoping to have writing as a side career. I would love to be a librarian who writes, lol. I want to be published one day, but unless I end up being a stay at home mom (which I would not mind at all) then writing would become my career.…[Read more]

@libby Ooh, that’s all very well-put. (And you’re welcome to continue. I only meant to personally step back. Although… I sometimes struggle to refrain from interjecting after I’ve told myself to step back, so I might return later. XD)
That’s all right! I won’t be tweaking the names until my next draft, anyway, so I’ll need it soon-ish but not…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Just because He knocks on every door regardless doesn’t mean He hasn’t already determined whether or not they’ll hear. He knocked on the door of Pharoah’s heart repeatedly and harshly (He did signs and wonders so that Pharoah would know He is LORD), and He still closed Pharoah’s heart to such reception “that His glory might be known”…[Read more]

@libby Interesting. I may need to expand my list of titles. XD How do family-related titles work? Are they stand-alone like “Mom” or “Dad”? I’m mostly trying to figure out how best to handle this culture’s words for “grandmother,” since they have one that refers to a literal grandmother (“lonpaia”) and one that refers to more of a village…[Read more]

@r-m-archer It ought to be attached to the surname. @libby knows a lot more about Japanese culture than I do, so you can always check with her as well!

Hi! You can call me Abigail and I may be a little late saying ‘welcome!’… but anyway, welcome!
My favorite books are: The Bible, Dark Horse, Narnia and a huge assortment of others. I could go on for a while, but I should get to work on my ‘to read’ list:)

Some of my favorite books have been East of Eden, The Little Prince, My Sweet Orange Tree, and Night on the Galactic Railroad! I enjoy reading classics and manga and foreign literature. Right now I write mainly fantasy, but…[Read more]

It’s interesting to here a new opinion on Animal Farm. Though I haven’t read it myself, I mostly only hear positive things about it. But yeah, there’re definitely books that I can appreciate for what they are but still not enjoy.
What’s your favorite things about Pride and Prejudice?

@libby Hi! Welcome to our lovely Kingdom! I love playing piano too!
I give information about myself upon receiving specific questions, haha, because my brain is dead most of the time.
So what kind of music do you like to play? Classical or contemporary? And what sort of books do you read?…[Read more]
