Not-So-Secret Secret Assassin

Yeah, it is pretty cool!! Almost nobody I talk to knows what it is, so I’m always explaining. XD Thank you for the names, by the way, Ruth and Kefa!

So how did they accidentally invent it?

Leon was a Russian inventor who was actually trying to invent devices for wartime. The instrument was…[Read more]

Random facts about theremins that I yoinked off Wikipedia (I think one is playing in the music I’m listening to right now! LOL, what a coincidence.):

• It’s named after its inventor, Leon Theremin.
• They used to be called Aetherphones.
• They were actually the result of research to make proximity sensors.
• The sound was once described as “a…

@whalekeeper You have a theremin???? That’s so cool!!!

ngl I used to be really scared of its noise, it’s so weird. But now I kinda like it. It’s used a bunch in the Loki soundtrack, which I think adds to the temporal thrill kinda aspect of the show.

@elishavet-pidyon awwww! She’s cute!

The branch looks okay in my eyes.

Impressive that you did that with watercolors!! I might show off my watercolor paintings later. My brother and I are doing a weekly watercolor class.

@ellette-giselle those are great quotes!!

@ellette-giselle

I have read them. 🙂 I’ve just been gone at a friend’s for the past couple days and haven’t given myself time to respond.

I want to rant about theremins. >:3

A theremin is an electric instrument invented accidentally in the 1920s. It is played without any physical contact by the performer. Two antennas create electromagnetic fields, and the performer waves their hand around the antennas to manipulate pitch and volume.

Finding a theremin is hard because there…[Read more]

I’m reawakening this topic because I’m putting together a list of magic system questions for myself. (Felt like updating my world bible.) They will be posted here when I’m done!

@theshadow

Lol, five might be a little generous XD

HAHAHA

one of them was likely stolen from Scout.

@ellette-giselle ok thanks!

@ellette-giselle I was just about to tell you I haven’t caught up in a while. Which chapter was the last one I commented on? I should be able to get to it today or tomorrow.

@ellette-giselle thank you!!

I always try to ask before doing that kind of thing these days.

@ellette-giselle you’re welcome. Mind if I take the meme to post on my youtube channel on the 4th? They might find it funny.

@ellette-giselle PEAK MEME LOLLLLLLL

I love that.

now, to prevent Soldier from deciding the cookies are for him and eating them all (and getting sick afterward)

@rae

You’re not alone when it comes to getting easily distracted.

Should I write Farewell in first person?

Hmmm, can’t say. It seemed straightforward enough in third person from what I remember.

I finished all the short stories, but I didn’t give you feedback for all of them I’m afraid. 😅

Also on the first person thing, it might work, but it also might throw everyone off, y’know? It really depends.

@rae

I think his passion is what made him the best fantasy author. If Tolkien didn’t love writing, and didn’t love the story, then it wouldn’t have been a classic. It wouldn’t have been published at all.

That’s exactly what I’m saying. He wrote great stories because he loved writing so much, not because his ability was somehow greater than other writers.

@rae

I’m one of those perfectionists who wants to throw their stuff in the trash everytime they read it just cuz it isn’t as good as Lord of the Rings

I know you’re joking, but has nobody thought about the fact that it must’ve either taken Tolkien like 5 drafts to get it perfect, or he was just the exception to the rule and had everything str…[Read more]

@rae

How’s the editing going so far? I bet you’re super tired by now. XD

@rae @ellette-giselle I’m glad you guys were able to work something out!! I’ve just self-published every time I finished a book, but I have a book on writing and it talks about how to get a publisher, and I was like “wow, this is…..really complicated. Do we really need to do all this?”
