So very welcome, @supermonkey42!! My name’s Dekreel. Glad you’re here! 😉
SO, you’re a huge Star Wars fan? I’m more of a Doctor Who fan, but I also like Star Wars. 🙂 I need to watch it again. I liked Episode 7, and am excited about episode 8! Have you seen Rogue One? Is it any good?

@aratrea Thank you! I’m sorry; I was in the States over the summer with an unexpected cutoff from the internet so I missed a lot. But now I’m back and continuing on 🙂

@ingridrd They’re nice Ingrid! 🙂

@emily I likey? Sounds like something I would say! Are we related? 😛

@aislinn-mollisong Wow, they’re great! Thanks! Especially love that last one…:)

@ethryndal The things that came to my mind were…

Sparkles. Lots of sparkles.
Singing. Everybody singing.
A princess with a beautiful crown in a large, elegant castle.
Fairies taking care of the crops, the plants and the animals.
Color, optimism and joy all around.

Basically every little girl’s dreams come true

@ethryndal Hmm…when I think of fairytales what comes to mind is apples, slippers, princesses, magic mirrors, stepmothers and stepsisters, castles, knights, dragons, fairies, elves, dwarfs, trolls, love’s first kiss, sleeping, roses, being betrothed to a guy you don’t want to marry due to the royal marriage customs, swans, frogs, talking f…[Read more]

@ingridrd Yeah they’re really sweet thanks! @catwing @emily You girls are hilarious 😛 😛

@Christi-Eaton I really need to read something by that Peterson guy sometime… Or both of them, as the case may be. What’s A.S. Peterson’s A name? But Andrew Peterson, author of the W. Saga, is the guy with all the great songs, right?

@aratrea
Beginning: Protagonist lives for herself. She thinks her way is the best way for her, and anyone who gets in the way or hinders her doesn’t deserve her love or loyalty.
Middle: Protagonist realizes she was wrong and selfish, and tries to make it up to her parents and siblings by dedicating her loyalty to them. She lives to help them and b…[Read more]

Wow! This lesson was amazing. I’m noticing that, from what I’ve come up with and from what others have said, most of the things that make people change inside are outside circumstances, like losing someone you love, losing a job, getting a new job, etc.

For me, I changed for the worse first and then for the better when my family moved overseas.…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when you read the famous writers’ works that everyone else will only read because they’re forced to in Lit in Year 10 (hurray for us homeschoolers haha).

You know you’re a writer when you see everyone around you as inspiration for potential book characters.

@ingridrd @salome01w4g @emily Thanks 🙂 🙂

@catwing *heart swells in delight* Zita the Spacegirl!!!!!!! I love those books! BTW his name is “Hatke” :-3
I follow the comics online – we don’t have newspaper either. 😉
What’s Mighty Jack about? I didn’t know he wrote anything else other than Zita.

@christi-eaton Howl’s Moving Castle is a book?! Who wrote it? 😀
OOOOH, A.S. Peterson! I didn’t know he wrote books! Isn’t he Andrew Peterson’s son? I might just check him out

@cloudy, Apologies for being a little late… Those are all awesome!

@christi-eaton you said they are “ink pictures.” Do they have to be drawn completely in ink, or could I like outline it in pencil, cause I like doing that. Or do you not know that? I like drawing too, so I wanna check this out…

@salome01w4g Don’t worry, I don’t… read much fantasy either. *glances around nervously to see if anyone looks ready to cast me out*

@ingridrd Ow… Well thanks for officially breaking my heart. There should be some sort of warning at the beginning about the strong and sometimes fatal emotions this story will produce.

I love the tone. As I think someone already said, it’s very wistful and nostalgic—quite lovely. Quite sad. Beautifully done, mellon nin.
