You have a fair point about them all being very good.
Yes! I have read both Farmer Giles of Ham and The Smith Wootton Major. I liked farmer Giles of Ham best of the two, though it pretty much infuriated me. I am a very firm pacifist, and seeing how the dragon was treated was just awful. However, after a lengthy debate with a friend of…[Read more]

Oh haha. I like all the the super random backstory/histories that Silmarillion has, but I can see how other people would feel like they have to slog through it. *shrugs* I have weird tastes. 🙂
I can’t make super accurate judgement of the LoTR movies, since only I’ve seen each of them once, and each time I was only half-ish paying…[Read more]

Hey there! Welcome to story embers!
Wow, 57 chapters is still impressive, even if you have less time for writing as of late.
Ooh, a fellow LoTR fan! Have you read the Silmarillion or Beren and Luthien? If not, those would be my top recommendations.
Hope to see you around. 🙂

Oh boy haha. Chem with so many other things sounds difficult. 😛
Yeah, thumbs up are pretty good too. I also use them all the time in real life when I want to give a response to a person, but don’t feel like talking haha.
Oh that’s good that they don’t play it too often! (Also; love your wording there. The house’s heartbeat. :D…[Read more]

So you hit the nail on the head for that one.
I always laugh a little to myself when people put me and that expression together. I am very clumsy (and really, really, spacey when I’m tired), so let’s just say giving me hammer…is not a very smart idea… 😛
Yesss! Smilies are great! I was actually talking about this with a friend…[Read more]

Hello there!
Looks like I’m a little late to the welcome party. Haha sorry about that.
Wow! It sounds like your pretty far into the writing world. You have my respect. 🙂
So, I’m going to take a wild guess that you like lattes? Do you have a favorite type?
Looking forward to seeing you around!

Your welcome! I’m glad I could be of some help. 🙂
Thank you! And it is fun; it makes things come alive….
You’re pretty funny yourself. 😛
Also, I want to say thank you for the word ‘persnickety’. I hadn’t heard it before, and now it is possibly one of my favorites just because of how fun it is to say.
Oh goodness, no haha. I…

Yeah, I’ve always been kind of annoyed how people make death this terrible, horrifyingly evil thing, so… in my fictional universe it’s just not haha. 😛

Don’t worry about it! The school year is starting to get to me too.
Nice! I have a couple of friends who use Teaching Textbooks, but I haven’t heard of IEW. When I was younger, I did almost all Sonlight, but now the only thing I have that’s Sonlight is their psychology course. I have a different provider/publisher for…[Read more]

Sounds cool!
Here a couple serious ones (and then a few silly at the end 😛 ).
Why am I writing?
What am I trying to say?
Will people relate to this?
How do I make this relatable, but not so relatable it’s boring?
How do I defeat autocorrect’s evil red lines and rid them from all of my amazingly foreign-sounding names? (Ex. Feya.)

Haha I understand that.
I can imagine! One of my favorite analogies to trials/life in general is that silver can only be purified by fire. It’s rough but it’s so amazing at the same time. 🙂
