@r-m-archer Yeahhh, I hope that doesn’t mess with things too much 😐

A letter addressed to someone in their full name would look like this: “Powell, Libby – sama”.  Last name, first name, then the extra formal “sama” is usually used as a suffix in letters.

Yes, sorry about that : ) Most terms of endearment are stand-alone.  Adding “chan” is t…[Read more]

@r-m-archer Thank you so much for your patience!  Let me see if I can answer your questions.

For sibling names, the titles are just used without any suffixes or other names.  So, I would call my older sister not by her Christian name, but by “Ane” which literally means “older sister” – and the same would go for younger sister and brother, an…[Read more]

@r-m-archer I just wanted to let you know that I’ve seen all your messages and I’ll try to get back as soon as I can : )

@godlyfantasy12, thank you! That’s incredibly helpful!

From what I’ve researched, yeah. Especially if you’re writing a full novel, which will cost more to edit and stuff.

@r-m-archer, ohhh yeah that makes sense.

Yeah, they look really good.

I meant buying ISBNs, but yes, that too. XD

Any tips? What have you learned that you wish you’d have k…[Read more]

@r-m-archer Yeesss sameee. If they’re done right, they’re amazinggg!!

@r-m-archer Ohh yeah that makes sense. That’s probably a good idea. She has an English degree and a ton of experience… so like… yeah.  Yeah! I’ll let you know when she gets back to me.

I really like Seedling Design’s covers, so that’s the one I’m thinking about going with.

Yeah, everything I’ve read said “please buy one.” Even some of the c…[Read more]

@r-m-archer, yeah, I probably underestimated the cost for that a little bit, but my book is a novella and on the shorter end of that spectrum. It’s not going to be over 20k, and I’m friends with a woman who’s a freelance editor and author and I was going to use her. (It’s Rachelle Ray Cobb, if you guys have used her before.) She charges $1 for…[Read more]

@lewilliams absolutely!! Thanks for joining in! That’s sooo cool!! I’ve been a ukulele player for… *pulls out pocket watch* 11-12 years XD I love violin! My Aunt plays it and I have a little sister who just started as of Christmas haha! Hmmm, I love a little of everything as long as it’s relatively calm and not rockish/rap (I know, I’m boring…[Read more]

@r-m-archer have you ever tried NewSkin? It’s like a clear polish stuff you put on your skin for cuts, but my ukulele teacher told me to try it on my skin when I play, and it keeps it from hurting while still allowing callouses to grow! It’s amazing. You can get it at Walmart! (Assuming you have a Walmart nearby that is XD)

I also play the…[Read more]

A little late to the party, but hello @daisy-torres thank you so much for resurrecting this thread and sending a wave to the musicians.  I get you though, about not being in the mood when composing ; )

I’m a (very) amateur guitarist, a sometimes songwriter, and an always pianist.  I sing, but I’m not a soloist, usually I’m alto when the fam g…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Whoa, you’ve got a YouTube channel for covers? That’s so cool! I totally understand if you want to keep it private, but I’d love to check it out.

@daisy-torres

Well, I used to play the violin, but I had a pretty intense teacher for a few years, so ever since I stopped taking lessons I haven’t touched it. So yeah, I still have…[Read more]

@reaganramm @gracie-j @r-m-archer I guess my biggest concern is that I will not be able to make money from self-publishing just because there are so many books on the market. I’ll have put a bunch of work and some financial investment into it and not get anything out.

Not that I’m writing because I want money, but if I want to follow through with…[Read more]

@r-m-archer Thank you! 😀

@lewilliams @r-m-archer @any-other-zelda-fans Hey, I know you guys like LoZ, right? 🙂 I drew a pic of Zelda from Skyward Sword and just wanted to post this here in case anyone was interested!! XD Anyone else here a fellow Zelda fan? (I haven’t played Skyward Sword btw but am quite interested in and know about it) <3 Hope y’alls like it!
