Yes I have. I chose a pen name when I joined the National Novel Writing Month website for internet safety reasons. I also think that my pen name is more interesting than my legal name, and the origin is also way more nerdy. (It’s a nod to both the sci-fi graphic novel NewsPrints and the song Lavender’s Blue.)

Another reason I like using a pen…[Read more]

I love it. It’s a really good read, and some of Gordon Korman’s best work, and I highly recommend it if you’re partial to sci-fi. I would say more, but I don’t want to spoil it for you.

Yeah! I love Steve’s cello pieces especially. Celloopa and Me and My Cello are two of my favorites.

I’m always happy to suggest books! ^-^ I have some…[Read more]

To be honest, I’ve never totally gone through this problem. At one time when I first started writing, I did a little bit but I never stuck with a story long enough that it mattered. XD My current series, The Heir Saga, is probably the one book I am the most in love with and is closest to my heart, but after the end of book…[Read more]

Yeah, I can’t stand the smell or taste of it. I’m sensitive to smells. I actually recently discovered that they have some really good cocoa mix, so they’ve won me over for now.

I miss it sometimes. That’s great! Tae kwon do is awesome, it exercises pretty much your entire body, plus you get to punch people sometimes. I don’t have one favorite,…[Read more]

No, we’re not. XD Just cryptids, far and few between.

It’s nice to meet you, too.

I was messing around with a character creator I found and decided that the character I had made was just too good to waste, so I put her in my arsenal for the time being. I actually keep a Google Sheet of characters for future projects.

Mere Christianity, Words of…[Read more]

XD “Author’s madness” had got to be the funniest and most relatable description I have ever read in my entire life.
This is great that you’re making progress on your series. I remember reading some excerpts you posted from it that I still remember very clearly in my mind, you also had a ‘which character are you?’ Quiz on your blo…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

There’s a lot of interesting points in this post and a lot of things relevant to what makes a good story. So I think its awesome that you wrote this, but sadly, I have never read the Wingfeather Saga before, so I cant really give my input here. But now I think I’m gonna have to to see what’s up with this and find…[Read more]

For a second there, I thought you’d deleted the whole novel and I though ‘oh no!’ ‘cause it looks like an awesome story. But I’m glad to hear that you’re starting on your rewrite, revision is always the best way of making something good even better.
It’s hard, no argument there (I’ve been rewriting my novel for years now, so I know…[Read more]

Nice to meet you Annabelle!

I like to read, knit, and draw. I just finished Gordon Korman’s Masterminds trilogy (highly recommend, by the way). I’m also knitting a scarf for a friend, and don’t have any art projects going at the moment, but I’m sure that’ll change once my art class starts up again.

I like a variety, as mentioned before. 80s,…[Read more]

I think it could be interesting to talk about how people we know have influenced our writing. I know my friends’ interests have influenced my interests and thus resulted in parts of my stories being a way that they wouldn’t have been otherwise.

@elishavet-pidyon

They are, sub-genres of fantasy are kind of my babies. XD

A little bit. Her symbiote enhances her abilities to some extent, so she does have better vision in general. The glowing eyes thing isn’t the same as cats, because cats have a special layer in their eyes that cause it. I haven’t determined the exact mechanics of it, but…[Read more]

Don’t worry about seeming weird– I’m weird too. 😉

I think I’d prefer the jetpack. Unless, of course, I could just make my own option, which would obviously be flying on a gryphon. Or a dragon. Or a pegasus.

My favorite thing is being able to blend scientific advancements with magical ones. I have a soft spot for magic in…[Read more]
