@perfectfifths Did I hear Studio C?! Am I aloud to make a brief interjection to say that you have very good taste? 🙂

And I’d like to think my name is Elvish. 😉

@perfectfifths Welcome! G’day. Yep, I’m another of the Australians. From NSW.

Did I hear you mention the Ilyon Chronicles? They’re some of my favourite books ever.

Also it’s funny that all us Austrlian’s are from different states. We still need some from NT, SA and TAS though. And the ACT, I’d like that because I almost live there.

And I love…[Read more]

@perfectfifths, Welcome! I’m also Australian. I noticed you told @bluejay that you were from WA. I used to live there! But I live in Brisbane now. WA is amazing. It was sort of my first childhood home (actually that would be America, but I don’t remember that very well, so it would have to be Perth. Is that where you’re from?

@leumeister, Hi!! I’m Australian too! Before, @bluejay, @anna-brie and I were the only Aussies. It’s okay if you’d rather not say, but where in Australia are you from? And I noticed on @perfectfifths introductory thread that you guys are siblings. I live in Brisbane. Anyway, Welcome! Oh and by the way, you title (Hey guys, hi, um…) reminded me…[Read more]

@perfectfifths Hi! 🙂 I was reading through your introduction again, and I just wanted to encourage you to be bold about your faith in your stories. Not preachy, necessarily, but don’t hide the light God has put inside you. The world is starving for the truth, and you have the means to give it to them. Morality and wholesomeness is good, but it…[Read more]

@PerfectFifths FontRiver is another good one.

@PerfectFifths yes, I had loads of fun teaching myself all the different old fonts I could find… in fact I probably should have learned the basics first, but I wanted to learn those other fonts so badly I plunged right into the advanced styles and mastered the basics on the way. 😛 I especially like the Gothic font— the one used most in old…[Read more]

@PerfectFifths I am so jealous… 😛 I actually taught myself calligraphy simply because I loved the font Tolkien uses for his maps so much I wanted to make maps the same way. XD

@PerfectFifths yesssssss. I love maps. Both drawing and looking at them. It’s my dream to have my own ‘office/study’ with the walls simply covered in maps. 😀

*pops in from random swirl of crazy life to shriek* MAPS!!! YES!!! *pops out again*

@PerfectFifths

@PerfectFifths Oh, I’ve seen some of their stuff. They’re really talented, though Lindsey Stirling can be…a little weird. 😛
I’m forever indebted to YouTube (and the people who make the videos of course 😉 ) for violin, because I learned mostly through YouTube, and with some help from a friend. 😀 FREE VIDEOS!!!

@perfectfifths Well for me, to generate ideas, I may have to plan a story world. Maps are my favorite part, the describing not so much. I usually include cultures and major places, but you’re right/write about tailoring your worlds to fit the stories. Although I first-handly plan my world, things change as I write. I basically allow myself leeway,…[Read more]

@perfectfifths

for about 4 1/2 years, but i don’t practice as often as i should

Yay! A fellow violin player!
welcome @perfectfifths.

@PerfectFifths Oh don’t worry, I have no intention of stopping. 😀 It’s just depressing sometimes (though I’m trying hard not to let it be).

@PerfectFifths You played Jupiter, from Holst’s Planets? Ooh, I love that one! That sounds like a hugely wonderful experience.

Thanks so much for the tips and encouragement.

@PerfectFifths I love it too, it just frustrates me when I can’t get everything to work how I want it, so I don’t play as often as I should even though it’d be beneficial. How do you make yourself play even when it’s frustrating?
I love picking tunes out by ear too. 😀
He let you play it? O.O Wow!! Did it feel…old?

@perfectfifths The Brotherband Chronicles is another series by Flanagan. They are about a group of boys from Skandia, another place in the world of Ranger’s Apprentice. They occur about 10 or so years before Ranger’s Apprentice, and I find them very enjoyable so far. The sixth book just came out, but I haven’t read it yet. Not yet… You should…[Read more]

Oh look! A new person! Welcome to KP, @PerfectFifths! *confetti and balloons* This sight has been crucial in my journey as a Christian writer— I wouldn’t be anywhere close to where I am today without it, so I hope it’s everything amazing for you as well. 😉 So glad to have you. 😀

@PerfectFifths Oh I play the violin too! Yes, congratulations for playing ‘non stop’. I know it’s exhausting, and you definitely seem to stick to it more than I. What’s your secret? 😛

Here’s a huge recommendation to read Les Miserables. *hands you huge recommendation* 😉 I’m not finished reading it yet, but I love it.
