Hey Merie,

I was super happy to find you on here, lol! I am super excited to be on here! 😉<3

@r-m-archer

I also enjoyed the LotR much more. I liked the Hobbit, but it was definitely geared more towards children. Not a bad thing, I just prefer more serious books. So I do like the LotR more than the Narnia series as well, but if I had to only choose one author to be a student of, it would still be C.S. Lewis for the reasons I said in my…[Read more]

@merieshenanigans I get the mind wandering thing. I have to do something with my hands while listening or else I’ll do the same.

Mandarin or Cantonese? Either way, consider me impressed. I grew up in China and to this day can’t read more than 10-20 characters lol I’m conversational but can’t read the characters

@merieshenanigans If you like audiobooks, there are some good ones on YouTube. That’s how I get through  some of my harder texts faster because I can multitask that way. I’m “reading” Silmarillion via YouTube rn while I pack for school.

Thats cool that you can read it in two languages, which ones are they?

@merieshenanigans I love CS Lewis, but I are you sure you want to admit to not reading Tolkien on here? That could be a dangerous admonishment (jk but seriously you need to get the audiobook for it or something lol)

@charisetter, I struggle with editing more than I struggle with actually writing.

My WIP synopsis is in the link in my tagline

@merieshenanigans, hey! Yup, I enjoy dystopian, but like mystery more than fantasy. I also do nonfiction bloggy stuff at the second link in my tagline

@seekjustice

Ooooh, that is a cool genre. Do you have a favorite literary fiction book?

@merieshenanigans

Yes, the struggle for creative writers. We want to stick to being creative and just create new worlds, stories, and characters, and avoid the research aspect like the plague.XD

Ooooh I love stories taking place in ancient Rome! I’ve only…[Read more]

@merieshenanigans Ah thank you!

@merieshenanigans I use a platform called Webnovel XD Also known as QiDian International.

@merieshenanigans

Ah yes, one of the most frustrating things about having an unfinished story are the characters’ incomplete arcs.

For me, it almost feels like the character is never at peace until the book is finished. Stuck in a bad state of mind, or believing some lie, and the only way I can help them out is to write and finish Their arc a…[Read more]

@merieshenanigans

Nice to meet you too!

I’m into Irish, Greek, Spanish, and ASL.

Yep, just a matter of time 😉

@devastate-lasting I haven’t really read or watched any manga or anime, at least not through a whole series. I mostly just like the art style; one of my friends taught it to me awhile back and I just kind of picked it up.

@michelle That’s awesome!

@leon-fleming Hey, I’m late too (o_0; )
Yeah, probably. I think they explained it on one of the SE…[Read more]

@merieshenanigans LOL I am Horrible with synopsis *dies* it is not a long book to do the things that it does) I will need your email so I can send it to you:) Thanks

@michelle Yeah, it’s pretty crowded XD
Ooh! Yes, I’d love to see them! Hope they turn out well! And yep, my mom’s the same way lolol.
Yes, I have watched ATLA! Pretty recently actually; I watched it for the first time a month or two ago? (I’m late, I know haha).
And it’s fun, but veeeeeeeerry time consuming and tiring. But I think it’s that way wi…[Read more]

@merieshenanigans

It’s cool how your characters evolved into other stories!

If I may ask, what do you mean by them being human but not exactly? That sounds very intriguing.

The current project that I’m currently writing the first draft on, I’ve been working on and off on for over four years. I think it’s safe to say I spent probably close to a…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Lol don’t worry about being late, I’m late to everything as well XD.
Heyyyyyy! You’re ahead of me on LoTR haha … I need to figure out where the other two books are heh.
I really like the worldbuilding in Inheritance, Paolini does a really good job of writing the rules of his world and how the different races interact with each…[Read more]
