The Happy Bookaholic

@epicaddie2  One more thing…this is a story that has inspired me in the darkest times of my life.

One night a man had a dream. He dreamt he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints on the sand — one belonging to him and the other to the Lord. When…[Read more]

@epicaddie2  I wish I could hug you right now!  I totally know what you’re going through…I’ve been there myself and it’s so easy to lose sight of the fact that God is there with us no matter what.  And if it’s any encouragement, you have friends here.  Hang in there and keep plowing through.  God has something absolutely beautiful plan…[Read more]

Here are a few (they all mean star in various languages):

Astra, Astrophel, Dara, Seren, Stella, Tara…

Hopefully these are helpful.  I love your new profile pic, by the way!  🙂

Random social stranger at a random social function: “Oh, you write books? Cool! What’s your book about?”

Me, randomly trying to function socially: *stilted grin and shivering, nervous laugh* “Here, let me… let me…” *digs out notebook with a triumphant flourish* “I wrote it down!”

XD

@Dragon-snapper

@Dragon-Snapper ugh I am so sorry. I have no idea why it does that to you. *offers you conciliatory chocolate*

Yeah… trying to pitch your book on the spur of the moment is torture. Especially if the person is just trying to make conversation and you can tell they really don’t care. And then you walk away from the encounter and think of a dozen…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  my most memorable and embarrassing writerly moment will always be the time I had to explain to the chiropractor that my hip was out of place because I slipped on our hardwood floor choreographing a fight scene… he was very nice about it, but the startled, slightly skeptical sidelong look he gave me, and the funny little laugh,…[Read more]

@sleepwalkingmk  LOL.  Those are some good ones.

@dragon-snapper  That second one is way too true for me…

You know you’re a writer when the most frustrating thing in the world is thinking up an awesome story idea during the night—and completely forgetting it the next morning.  *rips out hair*

@dekreel @skredder @daughteroftheking @writers

I have been fighting valiantly to finish my Latin translation and have prevailed!  Now I am writing…care to join me?

You know you’re a writer when you are playing out a scene in your mind and start mumbling your characters’ conversation in the shower.

😉

@daughteroftheking  That’s awesome!

@dekreel  @his-instrument @kaya-young @rochellaine

Okay, so I have decided on a name.  *drumroll*

Devin!

I thought about what you said, Hannah, so I just changed the spelling slightly to avoid any pronunciation errors.  Thank you all for your input!

@dragon-snapper  Ohhh, very nice indeedly.

@rochellaine I also like Devan a lot.  Thanks for the input.  (Oh, and Larik is a great name, by the way, @daughteroftheking, but I don’t feel like it suits my character. 😉 )

@rochellaine  That’s a very good point.  *smacks face*

He is fifteen years old.  He is mischievous, bold, and reckless, often does things without thinking.  He can fight his own battles, but tries to do too much on his own (he’s slightly arrogant).

Appearance: windswept brown hair, dull green eyes, average height.

@daughteroftheking  Yes, she is fun to write!  😉

@mariposa  Shweet!

@dekreel @rochellaine @kaya-young @his-instrument

Okay, so this isn’t exactly on topic, but I’m trying to name a guy character and need some ideas.  What I have so far:  Arian, Bryson, Corban, Devan, Crew

I’m having such a hard time choosing.  So, please either vote on which of the above names you like best or use your wonderfully creative mi…[Read more]

@Bella-D *salutes* Happy to be of service! 🙂

@jessi-rae  Yeah, I love that quote.  😉
