@kimlikesart –
Well, I’m glad you avoided being an only child! What’s your sister like? Do you guys share interests and hobbies?
My sisters… Elsie’s 12. She loves horses and reading and making crafts. She’s got rather a stubborn head on her shoulders, which I suppose means she takes after me 😛 but she’s growing up, little by little.
Agnes is 9.…[Read more] -

Oooo! I like those scars! (well, like, I’m not glad he got them, but you know what I mean) They are unique. Could you post how he got them? I’m interested.

Wingiby Iggiby replied to the topic Villain/Antagonist Development Questions in the forum Characters 5 years, 12 months ago
Well, still. Thanks for compiling them! They are really going to help with my guy’s development, and will add to his backstory; giving me more to think about, I mean. They are DEFINITELY helpful!
And the Hitler thing, yeah! I have a hard time putting myself in my villain’s shoes, and anyone else for that matter. I’ll have to check…[Read more]

@kimlikesart One of my family members adores Chuck Black‘s books! I haven’t read any myself, but he recently released a sci-fi series (my fave genre) and I can’t wait to read it! 😀

@kimlikesart For nonfiction, definitely Creating Character Arcs by K. M. Weiland. I’m a pantser by nature and for years character arcs and plot structure were foreign to me, but her book helped me to understand those aspects of plotting.
For fiction, Robot Wars by Sigmund Brouwer ignited my love for sci-fi and middle-grade fiction (which is w…[Read more]

Until a few days ago I thought a pantser was a tank used in WWII by the Germans. Then I looked it up. (: (Panzer is the tank. Pantser is someone who writes without a plan.) XD
Thank you for answering! I will look into these books!

Do you have more than one sister? I have three younger sisters, 12, 9, and 3.
My parents haven’t set a ‘dating age’ for me, an official one, (my dad jokes that it’s 35 :D) but I’m okay not dating now. 18 and without a boyfriend may seem crazy to the world, but I’m fine with it. There’s no way I’m ready for a serious relationship and…[Read more]

I only have one sister. My parents both wanted more kids, but they got married late…and then had me late…and then my mom was told she shouldn’t even attempt to have my sister health-wise (am I ever glad she /did/)…so they didn’t have any more.
Can you tell me about your sisters? What are they like? What do they love to…[Read more]

Oh, another quote! (Another ranking at one of my favorites.)‘It will not do, as you live the rest of your life, to assume that someone else will bear the major burdens. That someone else will demonstrate the key convictions. That someone else will run for office. That someone else will take care of the poor. That someone…[Read more]

Nope, I was on the Ninja’s side. But I was on Wolves last time, and we won, so now I’ve gotten a taste of both and am perfectly happy. *contented sigh before toppling over in exhaustion from all the extra writing going on the past week* 😛

(: Good for you wolf. (:
I was a lion last time… :'( (And wrote 70,000 words)
I was a pirate this time… (And wrote 11,000 words) *mentally slamming head on wall* I feel like I almost had /nothing/ to do with our team’s winning this time. -

Yeah, I have one of the larger pieces of crazy in me. Lol. I like that quote.
The part I most want to experience is being forcefully put to sleep. I don’t sleep especially well, so I’d love to find that out! What has to happen for me to go into surgery is another matter…
Technically, I didn’t break my bone. I fractured and…[Read more]

Sorry. Been some long days at work. The surgery is currently slated for the end of October. I won’t be able to post anything for about a week, maybe? It ought to go well. They got a specialist that will do it and he has excellent marks. And it is all covered.

I’m 18. I’ve had the waitress job for a year, ever since I graduated high school, but it’s time to move on now. How old are you?
I’m pretty excited to teach my brother. He’s a very intelligent child for his age, and I think it’ll go a lot smoother than when I taught my sister. She was in the ‘you’re not my mom, you’re my sister and…[Read more]

My poems are half for fun or when I get an idea and half spilling my heart out on the paper. 🙂
My sketch is just of a girl in a newsboy cap. She looks slightly like me, so I wanted to use it for my profile.

Do you want us to post our answers on this thread (considering that it might get long…😉)?

Bethany loves animals, a LOT. She wants to be a goat breeder and has stuck with this plan for a surprisingly long time.

@kimlikesart Bethany sounds pretty cool! She kinda reminds me of my brother a bit, in the way she’s stuck to what she wants to do. When my brother was twelve he wanted to be a pilot and started doing plane simulations. Now he’s almost 16 and on his way to the Air Force. 🙂

@anne-of-lothlorien
Oooh! The AirForce? That is so cool! Do you have very many people who have been in the military in your family?
Aye, ‘forgive and forget’ should not be said.
Well, my grandfather was in the Air Force, my uncle was in the Navy, and my other uncle flew medical helicopters for… I actually don’t remember. 😀 Might have been Army.
