@ajaj2000 Thinking about squirrels, I used to have a bunch of squirrels who lived in my attic. They ended up digging through the attic floor and began to reside in the walls. Long story short, a baby squirrel found its way into the oven. It was quite saddening.

@raemarie I love the Piano Guys!!! Also, Irish and Nordic influences sound amazing!!
@ajaj2000 I’m primarily a trumpet and euphonium player, but I also play a little trombone and piano, a very little saxophone, and know how you’re supposed to play flute, clarinet, tuba, and percussion, but don’t play very well myself. Actually, I don’t play sax…[Read more]

@ajaj2000 Hi there! I came up with the idea ofΒ Dijetka a year ago, after watching a video of a lecture on Writing Fantasy and Science Fiction. The professor, Brandon Sanderson, challenged his students to create a story that they’ve always wanted to read because they are the only ones who can write it. His words spoke to me, so I decided to take…[Read more]

@ajaj2000 , I am working on a fantasy novel about two young adults struggling to find hope and truth in a time where their world and family is falling a part. I think. At least thatβs the general direction it is heading now. I am relying heavily on Nordic and Irish influences and 10th century for the basis of my world.
When writing, I generally l…[Read more]

Hello @ajaj2000! Welcome!
I love the plot of your stories! I have one work in process that I started this week. Iβm not really sure where itβs heading yet.
I also used to draw my stories out. I donβt do it much now. I take notes in my head. π

@ajaj2000 Thanks! I’ll tell her!
Yup. I have certifications to teach both music and English, and I’m thinking about getting a math one too.

@ajaj2000 Yeah, I’m excited to be closer to my siblings. It’s my sisters last year of high school this fall, too, so I want to be there for her concerts and stuff.
Yes, I left Tennessee to go to school (yes, college :D) in Kentucky and then have lived in North Carolina with my grandparents for the last year. Now, I’m moving back to Tennessee and…[Read more]

@ajaj2000 Ung, not great. I moved some things back to TN, in my storage unit and with my parents, but I still haven’t found a full time job or apartment of my own yet. :/ It’s frustrating but at the same time I know I’m doing all I can. It’s in God’s hands. I’ve got about two weeks left here in NC and I’m going to spend them visiting with my…[Read more]

@ajaj2000 Oh, thanks! I can’t wait to read everyone’s! I’ve been travelling, so I haven’t had the chance yet. I’m hoping to get to it this weekend, though.
Rillumen was the last one, The Gardener’s Last Day. π

@ajaj2000 have you done National Novel Writing Month before? It’s basically like that. At the start of the word war week, you submit your username into a form so the guildmasters know you’re participating. Then throughout the week, you keep track of the words you’ve written — only first drafts and rewrites of scenes count (and only fiction). You…[Read more]

I’m sorry to say we didn’t win (Avensbeck did), but we did a great job with our prompt and I’m certain we grew as writers while writing it, and that’s what counts π On that note, all of the prompts are compiled here:Β …[Read more]

@sarah-narnathron I agree, but I’ll see if anyone else has suggestions π
Just a couple hours left until I’m going to submit it! What about Twenty Times for a title, since Camreigh re-lived that part of his life twenty times?

We’re so close to the end of this guild war! I just went over our submission again and I think it’s epic. πΒ It’s due tomorrow morning, so we’ll have time to proofread it then. π Also, it isn’t necessary, but we’re allowed to give our submission a title. Sage mentioned putting a Bible verse at the end as well. Any thoughts/ideas on those two…[Read more]
