@joshuapior – Yes, same with me! Thus my over excitement that you actually know about him. xD

A thalassophile is a lover of the ocean, and a trinstamentalist is – in addition to being a word I made up – someone who plays three instruments (in my case, piano, guitar, and violin.) I’ve always adored discovering rare words and creating my own. 😀

@joshuapior, hi! This is my first! 😬😳 I’m really excited though. It’s been my dream since middle school, so actually taking steps to making it a reality is really thrilling.

Yes,  I absolutely love middle schoolers’ questions and genuine desire for truth.

@joshuapior Actually no 🙁 I tried to find a Korean translation of that quote and couldn’t. The Korean in my signature translates to “Where there’s a will there’s a way”, another favorite quote of mine 🙂

@naiya-dyani I started out with an interest in anime, which got me interested in Korean Dramas. I’m also into some video gaming, and in…[Read more]

@joshuapior – Lol, what can I say? Chocolate is for mortal peasants. 😛

I’ve been attempting lots of things, mainly portraits of the cast from LoTR (because I’m familiar with their faces xD) and animals. I love concept art too! My dream is to one day draw my own characters and fantasy landscapes, but right now I cannot draw anything without a…[Read more]

@caseybold @joshuapior *randomly jumps in* Heeey, I love languages, too! 😀 I dipped my toes VERY briefly into Korean, but was scared off by the “pronouncing OOH ten different ways” factor! 😅 I’m into Japanese myself right now. It only has five vowel sounds, which I greatly appreciate! I can handle the crazy “three different alphabets” bit a lot…[Read more]

@joshuapior I’ve heard a lot of good things about Frank E. Peretti’s works. I’ve yet to read any, but I hear This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness are phenomenal.

It was great meeting you! See you around in the forum!

@joshuapior The different alphabet does complicate things. I studied French and Spanish (and a little Italian, and Greek lol) in high school too. I love languages. The biggest problem for me is deciding to study just one language long enough to make some meaningful progress.

Korean sentence structure is similar to Latin and the romantic…[Read more]

@joshuapior That would be so cool! Most of the places I’d like to travel to are in Europe as well, but it’d be awesome to go just about anywhere. I’m learning Korean now and would probably go to South Korea first, given a choice of anywhere and the funds and time to do it lol. Korean culture is fascinating to me, and the way they arrange their…[Read more]

@joshuapior that’s great! Congrats on an almost one-year blogging anniversary!

I mainly write fantasy, bordering on high fantasy some of the time. I do a bit of sci-fi, dystopian, and contemporary when I write short stories though. As for reading… it’s all over xD Last week I was reading Brandon Sanderson, and this week I’m reading Louisa May…[Read more]

@joshuapior Your blog looks really cool! I started reading and will definitely come back for more 😀 Your introduction is awesome too. Makes me feel a little lame by contrast lol.

Where would you most like to travel? I’d like to travel. I’ve moved around a lot (6 moves in the last 5 years . . . ) but never outside the U.S.

What are your favorite…[Read more]

@joshuapior welcome to Story Embers!

Well, I did end up tracking down your about page on your blog, so I guess I got a double intro from you. I have to say: your blog is AMAZING. I may have accidentally ended up reading it for an hour and becoming very inspired for my new WIP. 😀 I also really enjoyed the Author Personality Type quiz. I’m a…[Read more]

@joshuapior – Hi Joshua! Welcome to Story Embers. What kind of art do you like the most? I’ve recently rekindled my love for it, starting off with some basic pencil drawings. I’m really enjoying it so far. I love to travel too! I’m blessed to have an international family, which has given me a lot of opportunities to see the world.

I’ll be…[Read more]

@joshuapior, Hi! Nice to see you on Story Embers, you can call me Urwen. Story Embers is great, I’ve only been on here for a little while, but I’ve enjoyed it a lot. What kind of things do you like to write about?
