Hey, nice blog there! Also, very cool dogs!

@wordsmith

In case you were curious, I’m still thinking about college. As I have researched more, I came to a realistic conclusion that animal photography better fit my natural strengths than, say, starting up a goldfish shop. However, in another sense, I would still have a business – it…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Well, that’s still really cool! I would like to own goldfish, but I already have a couple aquariums and have no more room for more fish. However, I am considering working at a pet shop. There will be plenty of fish there (aka goldfish) and other animals, from tarantulas and bearded dragons to hermit crabs and guinea pigs – oh, not to…[Read more]

@wordsmith

Thanks. I’ll be sure to email you. 😀

@wordsmith

Ideally, yes, I would like to own a goldfish shop. But life doesn’t always go the way one might expect, so if that doesn’t work, I’ll try another approach.

I’ll make sure to look at that website… it looks cool. 😀

However, I do not have a blog. The nonfiction articles I wrote were not published; they were written because I had…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Nice! I was curious what Bull Arabs looked like, so I googled them on my phone. I notice they come in a lot of color patterns, which is neat.

Just wondering, what kind of goldfish do your siblings have? Are they fancy goldfish, like one of those really bizarre varieties, or just common or comet goldfish? I have tropical fish, but no…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Well, it is nice to meet you.

That’s really cool you are a dog trainer. Are you selective in the dog breeds you work with or do you have a love for all dogs in general? What sparked your interest in training dogs?

I have had an array of pets in my past, but I never owned a dog personally… although my house does have a family dog.…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Sure thing. I can let you know what I think of the book, but its estimated delivery is somewhere around two weeks from now. It’s hard telling when it will arrive sometimes. I have one book I purchased on fancy goldfish a couple weeks ago, but it still hasn’t arrived, but that’s probably because I purchased it used – there was no way I…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Thanks. I’m around no less than 20 pages into the novella. The name of this novella is A Crooked Reign in Paradise Island.

I’m just writing this for fun, but if I end up liking it so much that I publish it, I hope nobody cares that I may have shed some spoilers on the story in the discussion of this thread (if they  intend to read i…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

The society in this world, without the villain, is well, wild as the wild can be. Except the birds are very intelligent with certain beliefs.  It is the villain who changes this, wishing for an empire that was “tame” and “domesticated” and “civilized” and most importantly, “controllable.” This villain arranges a world where…[Read more]

@calidris

Agreed. Life is a dangerous place in the world of birds.

Right now I am reading a nonfiction book, The Bird Way, by Jennifer Ackerman. This book delves deep into the complexities and contradictions of birds, highlighting the most extreme and bizarre behavior in birds. I haven’t gotten far in it yet, but it is definitely very well…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

It is doubtless that phoenixes rank as high as dragons on the popularity scale. They are very elegant and majestic, but fierce and aggressive to an extent that I cannot help but admire them… but that’s just me. Other people may have slightly different opinions regarding this mythological creature.

I have finished some short fiction…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Well, that’s cool how much you like mythology. I used to write random stories on a lot of different genres (when I was younger and it appeared as though I had hours to write every day) and I would make up the craziest monsters for a “mythological tale” but the majority of the stories I started but didn’t finish. I was like twelve…[Read more]

@calidris

Thanks. Yes, yellow cardinals are cool, but from research, someone has noted there is “less-than-one-in-a-million chance” of seeing one, but when one is recorded, I hear news goes crazy about them in the birding community.

Rose-breasted grosbeaks are about just as cool as northern cardinals, but I have only seen one once in my lifetime…[Read more]

@r-m-watcher

I think Flights of Fancy sounds very interesting. I have never heard of a book that discussed such a specific topic, which makes me want to read it. I’ll have to look it up in the next couple days or less.

Classical Greece sounds very ancient but definitely very cool, and I don’t know much about it. Are there any really cool myths…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

I have just always been fascinated with animals, ever since I was kid. I’m not sure why, but the fact that I lived in the country probably helped, where I have access to nature 24 hours a day. I currently have two tropical aquariums, one with platies and Corydoras catfish and another with guppies, a golden mystery snail, and a sunset…[Read more]

Hi. I just popped on here, sorry if I’m late to the topic. I haven’t visited Story Embers in months, and I was just looking around to see what looked interesting, and so this topic piqued my curiosity.

I know a lot of you guys are mainly talking about fiction books, but I’ve learned quite a few cool and interesting facts from nonfiction as well.…[Read more]

@nuetrobolt, that sounds like an ambitious goal! Good luck!

@erynne, thank you so much! I appreciate it. Also, excellent goal!

Sorry for not responding soon; I forgot to check my notifications on SE.

@anne-of-lothlorien, hmm, I think dystopian fantasy would suit the name of the genre mix I am currently writing in.
