@evelyn Start with The Final Empire, which is the first book in the first of the two Mistborn trilogies. It’s one of his best books, and introduces characters and concepts that keep coming up over his expanded universe.

That goes for you too, mein Bruder.

@evelyn I suppose when I say “teaching myself to read more” it means that I know that I enjoy reading. I have the time to set aside for it, just other unimportant things tend to clutter my time that could be spent consuming a book. I’m thoroughly enjoying (when I do read them) the Old Man’s War series by John Sclazi and the Stormlight Archives…[Read more]

@naiya-dyani @evelyn Thanks for the warm welcomes (Taylor doesn’t get a shoutout). Just curious but where do you all live? I live in New Hampshire and kinda wish I was somewhere warmer at the moment.

@phoenix @evelyn @kate @sir-leeds @deeprun @taylorclogston

Thank you all so much!! Your answers are all thought-provoking. Here are some of my thoughts…

@taylorclogston  I used secular literature as a very general term. I define Christian literature as a work that is by a professing Christian. So I defined anything other than Christian as…[Read more]

@evelyn Thank you!! That’s one of my favorite images too. :)))

Here is a poem I wrote yesterday. 🙂 @evelyn @k-a-grey @libby @h-jones

sleepy

 

the blankets are

heavy on my chest

so heavy

heat fuzzes over me

the monochrome

with streaks of color

at the lines

fast-forward

fast forward

at the forefront

of my mind

but the round browns overwhelm,

puddling through the cracks

the warmth…[Read more]

@evelyn thank you! 🙂

@evelyn I applied for a job at the library as a circulation assistant. It’s a part-time job with only a few hours a week, but at least it’s a start. Working at the library would be a really cool opportunity since I love books so much.

@evelyn
Not at all, 😂😅😅
That’s why it hurts, lol 😥😥😂

@evelyn
ouch
😅😅😂

@evelyn Ahh. *nods and grins* I see. 🙂

@evelyn No problem! I like knowing hoy my fellow guildmembers are doin’!

Thank you <3

Ah, nice! Hey, I got my permit in November as well!

@taylorclogston You’re welcome! And yes, Steering the Craft. *nods* Alrighty. If I decide to read it I’ll probably have my parents read it first just to make sure they’re good with it.

Wow! I completely forgot about this. I could see moving this over to the fantasy thread making it super interesting. One option is that we could keep this one for specifically Parimis and then also have one over on the fantasy thread. Whatever y’all want, I look forward to seeing what happens.

@evelyn

This is a pretty good short tutorial on the very basics of blending with block watercolors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kznN5UZmlng

I prefer the tubes to be honest and I usually use them, but I do have a nice block travel set I use for when I’m out and about. What really matters when blending watercolours is the pigement-to-water…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 Thank you so much for the prayer, advice, and support. I’m guessing you guys are going over Steering the Craft? One of my favorite craft books. As far as content warnings in LoH, there is a sex scene between a married couple which isn’t at all detailed, and I believe there were a couple instances of strong language and some s…[Read more]

@evelyn *doesn’t know the answer and stalks this thread to see what other people say because I have the same problem*

@evelyn Oh hush you. 😛 No need for self depreciation here. In my humble opinion, it likely is that cool. 😉😉
Isn’t it funny how creative types are often so hard on themselves? Do try to be nice to yourself, or else I’ll have to resort to most unpleasant measures! Idk what those measures are, lol, but mark my words. They will be moST unpleasant…
