@jenwriter17 I’m not entirely sure about the drawing tablet; they tend to be quite expensive (the one I’m looking at is about $100), but it would be an interesting investment and it would make shading a lot easier.

Chibis are adorable and fun to draw.

Umm, okay. I just finished transferring The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan D…[Read more]

@sarah-anson WOAH! *falls out of chair* Now I’m intrigued: can you post Firemaster sometime? That art is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!  What specific manga style do you draw? (i.e. shoujo, shonen, bishie, etc.)

@ingridrd Oh my goodness this happens to me a lot too! I’m afraid I”ll have to explain when they see ‘ways to poison someone’ in my search history or something.

@sam-kowal I’ve done that a couple times before deciding to just use normal words everyone understands to explain writing things. That’s hard though, I have to use a lot more words.

@waterlily Wow, only 90 days of training? It’s a lot of fun to work with horses that catch on to things fast though. Lol, I’ve ridden a couple horses that were a bit too smart for their own good!

Over the years I’ve ridden appaloosas, quarter horses, cross breeds, and one thoroughbred. I think my stable only has one pure thoroughbred. His name is…[Read more]

@sam-kowal Okay. Took a break for a while there, but I’m back to reading now.

I’ll check out those stories by Chesterton. I like suspense😎

@dekreel Lol, yes. 😃

K, I’ll look forward to chatting later. 😉

I’m currently reading…….drum roll please……..my history book! Anyone readin’ with me?

@dekreel @sam-kowal @foreverme @skredder @anyone else

@dekreel I’ve actually only read a little bit of The Canterbury Tales for school. I did like it though, and asked my mom if I could buy the whole book (because there was only a little bit in the British literature book I was reading)

@waterlily I have soooo many books on horse care and training. I’ve been studying natural horsemanship and I’ve gone to a Clinton Anderson clinic.

Yes, I am dying waiting until summer when the season starts. My teacher said some of the clinics we’ll learn how to lunge horses and work them from the ground, so that’ll be great experience for me.…[Read more]

@seekjustice Lol, yeah might not want to yell out how most of the characters end up at the end of the book! That guy will find out for himself one day…..

I didn’t know you ride horses! (or did i?) Do you have a favorite breed?

@seekjustice @perfectfifths Yup, fallen off a horse twice and almost two other times. No broken bones…[Read more]

@seekjustice *gasps* I’ve seen your blog before! Been stalking following it off and on. It looks great!😉

@dekreel Awesome! I like the girl with the hat too.

@sarah-anson This is great! I’ve literally drawn one boy in my whole life and it didn’t turn out boyish enough

@princessfoo Your WIP sounds cool. I’ve heard the portal thing is a little cliche, but I really like the idea. 😉I’m sure you can turn that cliche on its head and make it unique though👍

@rochellaine OH, SPANISH MOSS!!! Yes, that is gorgeously mysterious!

@princessfoo Heheh, that’s funny. I can totally imagine that happening to me.

@mariposa Yeah I think I’ve gotten the “How you gonna pay the bills?” question at least once.

Funny the mistakes we make in writing…..Thank goodness for editing………i guess. 🤔

@notawriter h…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper I feel your pain! Maybe you just need to step away from the novel for a few days and literally not think about it ONE BIT. Then you might feel more refreshed coming back to it. What seems to snap me out of writer’s block pretty consistently is listening to music for the scene I’m stuck on. that really gets me in the mood. Maybe…[Read more]

@rochellaine Cool! I love moss too. ‘nature’s carpet’ I call it. 😜I took a picture once of a tree that had a lot of roots exposed (’cause that’s the kind of tree it was) ’cause it looked like something from a fantasy novel.

@rochellaine

This sounds like my kind of book! I love horses and westerns!!! I agree with SeekJustice (and I’ve read a lot of horse books), but I think it could be interesting. 😉👍

@that_writer_girl_99 Hello! I think you said hi to me in my belated hello post, but that’s okay 😉

@skredder That’s awesome that you were able to help a fellow writer! I’ve met at least three other writers (who were previously strangers) just by wearing my favorite writer shirt that says “It’s okay. Writers should be strange” 😜

I love that ‘mafia’ game! I often play it in big groups with homeschooling friends. I’m never the story teller (so g…[Read more]
