Here it is. Finally. The end of the matter. Basically Part 3 revised. I included the entire “short story” here. Enjoy!

Finally…! Part 4 (end of Part 3 included for a little refresher 😉) Hoping to wrap this one up soonish. We’ll see. There’s potential for a longer version someday, but probably not what I’ll be focusing on. I just want to give this a satisfying finish. The next…[Read more]

Let me know what you think. Still don’t know exactly how this is gonna end. 😏 Next scene is under construction and will be up soonish. Maybe by tomorrow but I’m working so it might be Monday.

Sam, you just go right ahead and write your story. Don’t worry about where I take mine!! 😉 That being said, here’s the next part. There’s some clarity about theme and purpose now, but it’s still more of an as-I-go project. ☺️

Oh gosh. I have read very few mysteries XD Like, literally the only mysteries I’ve read are Sherlock Holmes lol. Oh. Actually I take that back. Is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde a mystery? Cause I’ve read that. And if any of Edgar Allen Poe’s works are mysteries, I’ve read them.

I shall do my best, though! Let’s see. Oh gee. I’m gonna have…[Read more]

Hmmmm… I guess it would be Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (wings) meets Chronicles of Narnia (battles and good sides/bad sides and such)? Or Maximum Ride (wings) meets quality. 😏 *glares at the movie that TOTALLY could’ve been better*

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. 😀

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.

The Korean in my signature translates to “Where there’s a will there’s a way”, another favorite quote of mine 🙂

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]

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

The biggest problem for me is deciding to study just one language long enough to make some meaningful progress.

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.

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]

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.
