I really like the quote you have. 🙂 It’s true and encouraging to write the best you can at the same time. Who does RF stand for?

October 21, 2020 at 1:14 pm #120842Olivia Catherine@oliviaOh, cool! I’ve read some of his stuff, and it’s good. I don’t read a lot of poetry, but I want to start reading more. It’s partly because I love reading (A TON!!!!!), so sometimes I find poems can be a little less interesting than a story. But he’s cool.
That’s totally fine! 😀 We all make mistakes. I remember right after I’d joined SE, I had like NO idea how to do everything, so I made a bunch of mistakes. 😉 😛

October 21, 2020 at 1:16 pm #120844Olivia Catherine@oliviaOh, thanks by the way. 🙂 I really like it too. I have tons I could choose from, but I really like the one I have now. I could seriously change mine every day and still have enough! There’s a lot of good quotes out there! Haha 😉

October 22, 2020 at 9:46 pm #120984Mischievous Thwapling@mischievous-thwaplingYes, I love it too! Reading is fantastic. And yeah, I read stories more than poetry as well, but I do enjoy it when I find a good poem 🙂
Haha, that makes me feel a whole lot better 😉 I doesn’t help, too, that I’m not exactly what you would call a tech-savvy person…
I know! There’s so many quotes I love out there, but I really like my current one. So I’m just planning to wait, savoring the quote, until I finally tire of it. And then I’ll switch it to another 😛

November 10, 2020 at 9:58 pm #121596Mischievous Thwapling@mischievous-thwaplingThanks for understanding! And sure! Here, let me get my scattered thoughts together, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. 🙂 (Like tonight or tomorrow)

November 13, 2020 at 7:16 pm #121692Mischievous Thwapling@mischievous-thwaplingThese things inspire me to write. 🙂
Pain–Incorporating a type of pain someone I know or one that I’m going through helps me to sympathize or process it.
Truths–I enjoy weaving in (or trying to weave in) truths into my stories. I want readers to walk either encouraged or with a thought to wrestle with, like how all of my favorite book series do to me.
Fun–Yes, I know. This one isn’t as deep or something, but I love writing in itself. I find the prospect of yanking back the curtain of what I see in my story and clearly transferring it into readers’ mind fun. I love creating characters and plots and all the stuff in-between when it comes to writing a story. Like I said, it’s just fun.
Improving My Skills for Life–My mom’s college professor once told her that you should write everyday to improve/keep your skills sharpened. I like to write as much as possible so that it can be a place I’m strong in.
Being Creative–With a little time and thought, I’m eager to see what creativity can spill onto the page–or, er, the screen perhaps. I prize being able to exercise God’s good gift of creativity!
Glory–When I go on a hike, a walk, or when I’m in my own backyard, or even just looking at the rosy-cheeked faces of my siblings, God’s glory cries out at me, like it says in the Bible: (New Living Translation) “For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.” ~Romans 1:20. I love portraying that beauty in my story. I love marveling at that. I love mulling it over as I write. I love attempting to give the reader a glimpse of the glory that echoes God’s name.
~M.T.
Thank you for tagging me, Zee. I emailed you this as well. If I messed up the email somehow and you didn’t get it, tell me through SE and I’ll fix it. 🙂
