@sarafini I’m studying computer science right now, haha. Very different from most things. Depends on which starving artist talk, lol. I’m literally in CS in order to make a living one day, so… To be honest, I don’t know if I’ve been more burned out from writing or from work, but I’m trying to find a balance…kind of hard. But in ten years I…[Read more]

@light-warrior-pen Nice to meet you! Not much to say about myself; I’m Lin, I’m a college kid, and my back hurts. Anyways.

I know others above me have already asked, but what are you currently working on? Do you prefer novels or short stories? Etc. Anyways. Welcome to the Kingdom!

@sarafini I’m in college right now studying something else so I don’t really have time to fully commit to something like that, lol. Plus I think they expect me to go right into the workforce afterwards so idk if there will ever be a chance for that, haha. Plus it seems expensive.

Aw, I’m glad you have time to write! I’m hoping things will get…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76 Hehe but this math course is honestly more enjoyable than a lot of the other courses I’m in, haha.

And no, my life isn’t going well. I hope yours is though!

@freedomwriter76 Hahaha. There’s more algebra than I expected but yeah, it’s one of the main reasons I’ve been gone from the forum for the past few months.

@lydia-s Whoa, that’s awesome! I was debating on joining the Conservatory, haha, but my parents would kill me. Your novel sounds really cool; would love to read it one day!

I’m currently…[Read more]

@felicity

You spoke highly of me. Why have you suddenly decided to challenge me to a duel?

*Grasps coupe-ongles*

@freedomwriter76 Lol wait till you learn about Linear Algebra (though you probably won’t, that’s my cross to bear).

Aww, thank you for the prayers! Yeah, nah, my friends are like that to me as well, except even more harsh, though I know it’s cuz they care about me.

Yeah, can’t wait to talk to you more too!

@felicity That sounds really good! I’d love to try it someday!

@lewilliams Eyyyyyyy there’s that familiar platypus profile picture! Good to see you too! Life is. Kind of a roller-coaster, I have a really busy semester ahead of me and I’m not sure how I’m going to balance writing with it, but we’ll see. How are you?

@felicity I’m reindeer, and my name there is same as here.

@power Eyy love to see that you’re still here! One of the core tenets of the forum.

@booksandbeakers Oo that’d be exciting!

@folith-feolin Eyyy Lovecraft is definitely something else! He has beautiful prose!

@felicity Nice to meet you! What are some of the desserts you make?

@sarafini Yes! Stories definitely get easier the more you do. Hey, novelettes and novellas are impressive! I’ve done very few of those.

@loopylin Best of luck! If you’d be comfortable with sharing them someday tag me!

@keilah-h Nice! Do you know Vihart? She does a lot of great math videos.

@esther-c That’s about how much I usually manage too! Short stories are a lot easier, but I start a lot of them and never finish them, lol.

@loopylin I believe horror has supernatural elements whereas thriller is more of a crime thing, like the difference between a ghost and a killer. The premise of your story sounds a lot like Bendy and the Ink Machine, but I would totally read it!

Aye, I believe you can also finish a book one day!

@loopylin Hey there! Another Lin! Yeah, Alice in Wonderland is definitely on the surreal side and is One of The Books Of All Time. Oo, you do horror too? I have some half-written short stories that try to be a bit on the horror side, but I feel like a lot of mine edge on thriller instead.

I do have several finished books, but nothing published…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings Lol yeah it’s something similar to Alice in Wonderland or something like that, where nothing makes sense.
