Trahia the Minstrel

@joy-caroline Ooh good question! I am someone who always makes the mistake of turning books into series when they should probably just be standalones. I think one of the ways to tell is to take a look at the scope of the story: if it is big and covers a long period of time with a lot of important events taking place in that passage of time, it…[Read more]

@madelyn Thank you!! Honestly I think my biggest problem is turning off my inner editor, since because I listen to it, I end up adding things that I think would sound good from an editing perspective but that creatively fall flat and sound pretty boring when compared to the fun and unexpected things I’d been writing before. I’ll be sure to keep…[Read more]

@mkfairygirl

AAHHHH

YES. I bought it a couple days after it released and it gets here tomorrrrrooooowwwww!

I’m so exited.

@calidris Ahh, I see. The characters sound awesome! 😀 I might just check it out then! And thank you–but that’s actually pencil! XD Glad you like it!!!

I did this sketch for Inktober, but it turned out SUPER cool, so… posting it here. XD Kim Seokjin from BTS, with the prompt “suit” incorporated into the sketch! I added suits of cards as well as him wearing a literal suit lol.

@calidris I haven’t, haha. Do you recommend it? 😛

@keilah-h It seems to have disappeared… I’ll repost. Here’s Yoongi.

Hmm! I’ve never read that one. I can think of many strange stories I’ve read/watched/listened to, but I think the weirdest I know are the ones I make up myself. I have far too many bizarre ideas.

@calidris Nice!

@jodi-maile You’re welcome!

@calidris Well, it’s nice! And I think you captured his personality well–he seems like a kindhearted character from what I can see!

@scripter-of-kingdoms I can’t see your drawing, is it there on your side?

@calidris So true. And thank you so much! I think the stylization worked out quite nicely 😉 Thank you for saying that, it really made my day, haha. Also, nice drawing! Are you a Haikyuu fan? The lineart looks nice!!

@elfwing You did help! Thank you! I think the thing is that I have to probably cut some of these scenes that are bugging me…

@faith-q Haha yes let’s get some much-needed advice XD

@keilah-h That is a good solution! Thanks!

@anatra23 Yes *cries* I think that’s what I have to do, cut a bunch of new stuff that I’ve written until I get back to…[Read more]

@calidris Thank you so so much!! :DDD Aw, thank you. Shading is one of my fave things to do in a drawing 😉 yeah, unfortunately. But thank you so much!! XD if the picture were any more realistic I’d swear I could hear his voice saying “hiii, I’m Sugaaa” XDDD (his stage name is suga and he always introduces himself like that LOL)

yeah!! he looks awesome!!

Pretty proud of this drawing! Here’s Min Yoongi from BTS. (I seem to be drawing all the members lately XD) It actually looks considerably like him!! I’m proud of it. The colours look even better in person, though.

@calidris yesss!! He’s super handsome XD it turned out lovely! <33 and what- he’s an angel? No way, that’s so cool!!!!!!! 😮 Your artwork is simply stunning.

@jodi-maile

Ah, the all too familiar dissatisfaction. This is pain in many forms. This is the point where I would’ve given up a couple years ago XD

But since then I have been taught perseverance! So when I’ve found my idea/theme shifts and am unsatisfied with it, I usually have to go back and read it and really just delete a lot. It hurts so…[Read more]

@kathleenramm There was a point of view change in one of my stories–most of the story was about one character, but somewhere in the middle I had to temporarily switch it to her sister’s POV because she was the only one who witnessed an important plot point.

@jodi-maile I’m pretty sure that’s happened to me more than once.

What I did with one story was I copied it to another Word document (that’s what I use to type up stories) and saved the original one, then I deleted what I didn’t want from the copy and re-wrote it. So if you are writing and find you like some parts of a story but not others, make…[Read more]

@calidris Misu looks really cool! Does he (or she, can’t tell) have pointy ears?
