Jonas volunteered Riina first, obviously, but if that doesn’t work out, Saoirse might be able to get him to dance. She’s still skulking around.

Introducing….Marcurious!!!
Here’s the newest chapter I wrote in my WIP:
Marcurious deftly snatched a ripe apple from the market stall, and sauntered away, holding his head high as if without a care in the world.
He pasted a look of innocence on his face.
I didn’t steal this apple. Nope. I p…

@anyone-who-needs-a-good-cry
I just wrote something very depressing and sad….so if anyone wants to read it…well…
A dull throbbing sensation at the back of her neck.
Anger burning hot in her veins.
Screams echoing around her, both her own, and the screams of innocent souls.
The smell of alcohol, of chloroform, of pain, of fear.
The smell…

How do you not eat sugar?!?! I would die haha! It’s not that I’m one of those people who love food too much (if you know what I mean XD) but I love being able to eat whatever I want and enjoying sweets from time to time.
I think it would be really cool if we could all coordinate a time to meet up somewhere (when we all can drive and…[Read more]

Lol! Between me and my grandma we have enough food to last us all week XD
I know it’s not the best habit…but when I’m sad or depressed I eat ice cream and stuff like that…we have tons of ice cream and cookies and Grandma brought popcorn cake and khuchen (a German dessert) and I just made brownies…because we already don’t have…[Read more]

Yeah…I stayed up late last night and I woke up and I was so tired! I was super confused why my grandma was standing in my room and singing, “Happy New Year, Happy New Year from your Grandma next door!” My Grandma is super funny sometimes…haha.
But still yeah it was not the best way to start the new year XD but I’m just glad…[Read more]

“I could, but I’d probably pass out and be super dehydrated. It depends on how much water is in my system and how tired I am already.” she shrugged. “But Xandro and I combined our powers and shared our energy, we could flood this whole building easily.”

Thanks for everything guys! <3
I woke up this morning to my grandma waking me up and telling me that my dad took Mom to the ER this morning, and that me and my siblings had to go over to her house until they got back. So it was really sad for me and it was hard, but my friends…[Read more]

Just…don’t do present tense.
Y?
Cause it usu Sounds weird.
Typos ignore
Cause it sounds weird? Was that what you were saying? After a bit, your brain shifts, and you dont even notice it. I like it with first person, as long as it isn’t just for no reason.
@jonas I personally LOVE doing first person present tense, but not third person present. Because I switch both tenses and person, I often have no problem with my brain gears.
Yeah third person present tense is bad. I personally don’t care for present tense at all. I think of it similarly to second person narration.
@jonas @rae
I’m just gonna jump in on this conversation lol…
I also LOVE first person present tense…but I HATE…I mean HATE third person present…unless of course I’m writing a certain depressing short story about my life a couple months ago heh…heh….OH! I cannot STAND second person…*retches over the side of the bed* Like WHO in their…[Read more]
@savannah_grace2009
The thing with second person is that it implies that the reader is the main character, which means you can’t design your own character. One week in my creative writing class, we did have a 2nd person assignment, but it was a choose your own adventure story.
@jonas
I know! That’s the sad part…no fun characters ):
Yeah that’s true…haha!
This is the technical side to present tense. Present tense adde immediacy—it feels like it’s happening *right now.* This is really good in some specific scenarios, but there’s one major problem. It is hard to maintain, it’s exhausting to read something long in present tense. Second person should almost always be present tense, and first person…[Read more]
@freedomwriter76 I’m not saying it’s bad to read, but when it comes to writing…I like the big picture. Besides, I write from the POV of Ru Eis most the time, and since she researches the events, they can’t really work well for Present Tense. It’d be like Laura Hillenbrand doing present tense for Unbroken.
