Very true. Besides writing, what are some other favorite hobbies of yours?

I think have too many hobbies for my own good, but I wouldn’t want to have it any other way. XD

@epicaddie2

ugh, comparison is the worst right? Even comparing yourself to something that you wrote before can be discouraging if you feel like your…[Read more]

@gracie-j Thank you! It’s from a song called “White Silence” by TK!

@gracie-j ;-; Thanks for bring this up, Grace. This is why I always, ALWAYS, copy the whole text before starting a new forum topic, just in case this happens.

@joy-caroline Lemme run through a slightly embarrassing way of how I developed Under That Dusky Sky so far…

1. Cue me watching Monsters Inc. Seeing Randall, I think, “Well. I could do with some sort of character who can turn invisible who is super annoying and also a snitch.

2. Riding in a car a few weeks later, I’m thinking back to this one…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I guess usually I just tell myself I’m too tired, and I go on and work on one of my other hobbies for a few months. Or I switch it up. Variety helps a lot.

@scripter-of-kingdoms Ah thank you! I’m looking forward to seeing what it’s about haha

@gracie-j

That’s really interesting how you thought Xavier was awful, but everyone liked him! You must be a better writer than you think.

@nova21

That was one of my favorite books when I was nine! I haven’t read it recently, but I still have fond memories of it and of course Sage.

@buildsbygideon

Interesting thought! I guess there might be…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 @e-k-seaver How did our challenge go, guys? I managed to finish the project I set for myself by midnight last night, haha…

@gracie-j @mkfairygirl Thanks!~

@gracie-j Thank you! I haven’t exactly tried writing a blurb for any one thing of my series, but I think now’s a good time to try.

When Kenneth Ouyang receives a cry for help to rid the lands of the demon Jael, he takes it upon himself to assemble a team to fight against evil, including Adonis Domini, fresh from Jael; Leif Fukuda, dark and silent;…

Ok, here are two for the main cast for a thing I’m starting soon…

@daisy-torres Ahhh might I suggest you a thing called DeepL Translate? It works so much better than Google Translate for Chinese-English translations…

@daisy-torres Dang, girl… That is a lot! While, I, too, have several books planned to write in Chinese,  I have not attempted that yet… If you need me to check anything, feel free to ask!

Take a break! That is a lot!

@kathleenramm No, I haven’t tried. The time that I did try writing a story for a kid it ended up being kinda dark…thank goodness she couldn’t read…

My sister did write a kid’s book when she was a kid though! We’re probably all used to writing books for our age groups, haha…

@devastate-lasting

Yes, I definitely agree about not having to read heavy material all the time. Sometimes, if I read too much heavy stuff it weighs on me and even gives me insomnia. Not that heavier books are bad, (they can teach you a lot of things), but too much of anything isn’t good.

So yeah, I too like to read a good children’s book here…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Well, I’m in the middle of The Brothers Karamazov, and I haven’t quite finished it yet, so… Other than that, excluding all the manga and books I’ve read for school, the last book I read was… The Summer of the Swans, by Betsy Byars. It won a Newberry Medal. My favorite thing was how nostalgic I felt reading it. The copy I have i…[Read more]
