I know it says “Topic of the Week” but it’s really more like “topic that i post once a week but, you know, reply whenever you want” but that title is a bit long so I stuck with the former title. XD

But anyway, pulling a prank on Damias for the soul reason that you’ve never had a “near-death experience before” is brilliant.…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver

Oh wow, Congrats! I checked it out and the cover looks amazing!! So professional!

I’m totally going to buy it once I get back home where my credit card is.

Again, congratulations!

@elfwing

It wasn’t too long at all! Your answers have made me see even more how wonderful writing can be. It’s pretty amazing all the things writing can do. I think writing stories is even more fun and healing than reading them.

@daisy-torres

It’s pretty dope right? Being to write all the stories that you wish existed. I mean it’s not easy and…[Read more]

@elanor

Ooo, I really like that answer. Sometimes it can be really hard to communicate verbally. And when you do, you rarely get past the shallow stuff. But with writing, you can cut out all that nonsense and get straight to the point. I think writing, whether that be in stories, poetry, or song lyrics, is one of the best forms of…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Deep question, deep question. As a kid my sister was the one who tried out writing first, and I said that I didn’t think I’d ever want to write, just read stories. Well, one day I grew bored of all the books I read, and decided to write my own.

And now I’m here and hoooooo boi I don’t know if I’m living a nightmare or the dream…[Read more]

@mkfairygirl Thanks!! :DD

@devastate-lasting Lol, thanks. 😉 He’s pretty fun to draw. What with his grumpy burrito nature. ✨

@keilah-h Thank you!! Haha, yep. He’s super crabby XDD

@scripter-of-kingdoms Love the sparkles! He looks great, heh.

@keilah-h LOL well, he is one. 😉

Yin & Yang is about two ordinary, unconnected teens – Yang Jinlong and Yin Meichen – that survive a devastating earthquake in Shanghai. Neither of them knows the other, and as it turns out, they’re the only survivors. Meichen, with no memory, and Jinlong, with memories intact but the worst temper you’ve ever…[Read more]

@keilah-h Thanks! He’s from a work titled Yin and Yang.

@calidris Aww, thanks! Haha, he’s my grumpy little burrito. Thank you! And ughhhhhh the struggle is sO REAL XDDD yeah, I tend to give glasses very vague outlines so as not to overpower the face.

One of my characters, Yang Jinlong! I’m pretty happy with the style.

@sparrowhawke Ah, yes, ATLA and the animal-mashing. (TURTLEDUCKSSS) Oh, cool! Those are some good tips, I’ll definitely keep that in mind. 🙂

YOOOO that’s seriously so cool. I’m very interested in the celestials, I absolutely LOVE seraph-esque creatures. Tell me more about them? 😀 And what’s the aether element all about? I’m super interested in…[Read more]

@kathleenramm They can be. Thank you! Yeah, I feel the same way. The ending would be a complete FLOP if that didn’t happen. But with that ending, it’s so much more heartbreaking… I think I might actually cry while writing that one XD

EXACTLY. It’s so true. This is the reason why I HATE the deux ex machina trope!!!!!! The author is like “okay,…[Read more]

People said that I should use tree sap instead of tar and feathers.

Even though it was a fictional comedy, and I was like 8.

I’m still salty.

@sparrowhawke

This poem makes me think of a particular person in my life. Our relationship has been really complicated and recently some terrible things have happened causing me to only be able to have shallow conversations with them despite me knowing them my entire life. I have so many things I desperately want to ask them and tell them, but…[Read more]

@scripter-of-kingdoms

Yeah, heavy themes can be really hard to write well.

But I do really like the ending of your story with the hero scarifying himself at the end. It makes the theme hit so much harder. I barely know anything about your story, but I can see how the theme and character arc might feel half-hearted without him sacrificing himself…[Read more]

@sparrowhawke

Favorite time period? Hmmm… Probably the ancient time period. I definitely would never want to live in that time, but there are so many cool things to learn (and steal for writing purposes) from.

What’s something from history that’s given you a memorable story idea?

Well, I guess I usually come off as pretty quite, introverted,…[Read more]

@elfwing

That’s really interesting! I don’t think I’ve ever experienced that.

I’m not sure if you want any tips on ways to maybe help you be more critical of writing, but here’s some thoughts I had that might help.

Sometimes when I’m reading a book and want to use it as a way to improve my own writing, I keep a notebook with me as I read. On…[Read more]

@sparrowhawke Haha, yup. And knowing me, I’ll probably end up with ANOTHER trilogy in the mix at some point.

Thanks! I write mostly about faeries and humans, since those are the main two races in the book. But within the category of “faeries” there are elves, gnomes, dwarves, sprites, pixies, naiads, dryads, half-blood/hybrid faeries that are a…[Read more]
