Happy 2024 everyone! 🎉🎉
What are you doing that’s new this year? I’m learning Japanese this quarter, and I hope to continue it after the class finishes 🙂

Oh… that’s very interesting. it seems like quiet a parallel… I guess it’s a conclusion anyone in their right mind might come too when working in such a awful place. I had no idea Fin had such a similar backstory! Fin becomes one of the good guys, right?

I start school wednesday 🙄
oh, that’s great that you are starting driver ed soon!
I forgot you moved! How has it been in the new place? Making some new friends?
I’m glad your grandmom is doing better now.
Yeah, editing and rerwitting can actually be super fun once you get into the groove of it.-
Its been different, Ive never moved before so it was a bit rough over the first few months, but one we joined a home school group and met a few people it got a little better. We have a few friends close by which also made it a little easier (Close by as in 30 minutes, buts thats close here) XD

Lol he sounds awesome 😂
How do you like Duolingo?
Yeah I’m taking a online college course, it’s for a elective credit. I’m actually a quarter Japanese, but I couldn’t learn it normally because my dad doesn’t know it. And my dad doesn’t know it because a doctor a long time ago told his French and Japanese parents that it would somehow…[Read more]

Ikr 🙄
Tell me if you do! But if it’s not something you’re comfortable with, I totally understand. I was super lucky to have my sister screen the first part of the series for me 🙂
XD yeah it’s all in Japenese… I have the corresponding manga book though 😂 if I’m getting the pages correct, it goes something like this:

Beware the fandom is toxic though😭i never look stuff up related to it unless im on the officail fandom wiki (It’s moderated i think)
Heres the trailor for the upcoming movie, if you’re interested. Sorry it’s in Japenese XD the movie will have subtitles. There is a english dub but it’s kinda…[Read more]

tell me what you think when you’re done!
Yep, lol. I’m not currently reading it, i’m just a perpetual fan. Volleyball is the only sport i understand (Haikyuu explains it super well) I own 3 of the books, it’s my go to comfort read. I’ve actually only seen seaon 1 of the anime, and then read books 32-45. The middle chunk had a little…[Read more]

Hello! It was actually pretty good, my sister is home from school. My school starts back on the third, unfortunately. I was just doing some writing, trying to figure out a transition point in my book as the pace kicks up. How about you? Also, how is writing going?

Thats great that your sister came home!
Yeah… school. We start tomorrow, but thats great cause I think I start drivers ed soon!
I’m doing good, this year seems like it will be better though. Im not saying 2023 was a bad year, it was just really different with moving for the first time and all. And on top of that, my grandma who is still in CA…[Read more]-

Riiiiight I get that 😂 I can’t actually think of any good romance-ish books to recommend. And I’m glad you aren’t so unsure of what makes a relationship good or not – also glad I do.
I know a Christian girl who loves the romance genre, and honestly I’ve wanted to ask her what she thinks is a healthy relationship, because from read…

yes it’s very important! If you don’t agree though, just remember it when you’re a little old lady 😂 elderly people can forget to drink and get really dehydrated.
If you don’t like cringe romance, you won’t like it. The first book is pretty solid and I really liked it, however the plot is only complete with the whole…[Read more]

Oh noo! Hydration is important!!!
They are basically sci-fi retellings of fairy tales all jammed into one world. So like rupunzel, cinderella, snow white, and little red riding hood, but the stories have been adapted to fit a sci fi world. I do not recommend the second one but the 1st and 3rd have been really good so far! The main…[Read more]

Happy New year!
I’m learning Spanish and Japanese. Japanese because I want to move to Japan when I’m older 🙂 and Spanish because I feel like I will use that more in my life. And when I feel like it, I work on German and Chinese. (You can communicate with 20% of the world if you can speak Chinese!)
And… just driving and publishing are my other goals.
@acancello
Cool! That’s a lot, wow lol. Which is your favorite?
Yeah 😅 I like Spanish and German, they’re both pretty easy. Other languages with different symbols always make me mess up.
Hows Japanese going for you? I had the best teacher for it when I was… maybe 8? Then as we got busy I had to quit, but I’m starting again. Its a whole lot easier than Chinese. 🙂
@acancello
Wow, you’ve been learning languages for that long? That’s so cool! I did three quarters of asl last year, but that was my first time doing anything in another language. Idk why, japanese is already feeling easier XD asl never quite caught on for me.
Are you learning Mandarin Chinese?
It’s going really well! I actually love it 😂…[Read more]
I stopped a year after that or so and I dont quite remember a whole bunch of it, just little bits 🙂 I never caught on the ASL either, I can spell my name and thats about it.
Yep! Mandarin Chinese, it is HARD though. There is like 5 different tones to speak in and each tone means something different. I work on Spanish a ton more.
Thats great…[Read more]
@acancello
yeah I feel like there’s less resources available for learning asl. I still have my dictionaries though, maybe I’ll pick it up again. It sounds hard!!
Thx! Having it as a graded class makes me work a lot harder XD
@freedomwriter76
I know you commented here somewhere but I can’t find it… it’s in my email like 5 times though 😂
Asl sounds like a great ministry! I considered that when starting the classes, but I never reached a great level of understanding without many real time conversations. My previous church had a interpreter, but I don’t think it’s a…[Read more]
Heyyy! Happy 2024!!
Just working on writing and hoping to get some final drafts by the end of the year 👀 I’m also planning to write more short stories and stuff like and enter them into contests, just to see where my writing stands and get me writing non novel length works.
Nothing really new other than that I think. XD
Hey there!
Nice! keep me posted 🙂
Y’know I think short stories are great for that! I thought my short story was really good, but after getting it critiqued by a more experienced author I was knocked back down to size 🤦🏻♀️it felt awful but showed me how much more work I had to do! It’s kinda daunting to get feedback on your work, so don’t let it…[Read more]
Yeah, I’m really interested to see what happens. 😁
I’m also going to have my parents read through a book I’ve been working on, my NaNo project actually, and get their feedback on it. Because they’ve only read a couple short stories and I wasn’t quite asking for critique on them. I think it’s gonna be interesting to see what they think, especially…[Read more]
@esther-c
I hope that goes well for you! I’ve had really veried experiences with critiques, from the real blunt honest/painful to my mom saying she thinks it’s nice. Little bit of both are healthy imo lol XD good luck with your book, oh and congrats on writing so much this year, i haven’t read most of it but I’ve seen your consistent postings 😉
Thanks!! Yeah, I definitely got writing more after NaNo since I figured out I could write 1-2k words a day. Not that I write that much a day anymore, but I’m much more consistent now XD
How’s your writing coming along?
@esther-c
Yw!
Uh… idk it’s coming along lol, thanks for asking. I’ve been pretty depressed recently, and I don’t usually write while I’m like that. I’ve been kinda confused, and I’m well aware that my writing is going to be the spitting image of how I’m feeling. So, yeah. I could write my second wip “our last hope” (My go to for when I’m…[Read more]
Aw man, yeah that’s not fun. I’ll pray for you ❤️ But yeah, writing in your head is still progress XD
Aww, I love that so much 😍 And it seems pretty realistic too.
Um, sort of. I’ve been working on the third draft of my first book, which needed serious help. XD Basically, my plan is to have my trilogy as my main project that I’m always working…[Read more]
Oh and I’ve been doing to character development and really focusing on the character aspect of my stories. I think that’s been strengthening my writing as I try to focus on character voice and characters in general more than the plot, if that makes sense. I think beforehand my story was too plot-driven, and now that I’ve been digging into who m…[Read more]
@esther-c
Thanks girl <3
Thank you! You're the second person to tell me it seems realistic, so I'm feeling pretty good about it!
that's so cool! I personally love doing character work, it's so cool to make up people lol. Who are you currently working on?
No one in particular atm, but I think I’m gonna work on Adrian next, and then move onto my other side charries. They need some development… it’s pretty bad. XD
@esther-c
XD yep just a part of the process
