Haha, I think that there was actually a woman that worked at the retirement home named Elizabeth, and the residents were convinced that she and I were identical. In reality, the only thing she and I have in common is brown hair XD She left while I was still working, but her name still stuck with me I guess LOL. But yes, for the most…[Read more]

*bows* I thank thou for entrusting me with this most great mission. OK, I asked. (I didn’t ask all of them bc of some of them are gone, but here are the answers I got): 3 Crunchy votes, and 1 creamy  vote. *hisses and disowns that sibling*

Ummm, some years. Let’s just say I’m not the most talented cook, so they make most of it XD…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Ooo, Jennalie is such a pretty name! I love that! I can totally feel your frustration with that though, LOL. Another small reason that I wish my name was actually a nickname is because people almost never hear me correctly when I’m introducing myself XD They will most always hear Halley or something of the sort. And I used to work as…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Aww, thanks! I like Allie as a nickname a lot. I kind of wish my name was actually a nickname for, like, Allison or Alyssa, because I get so annoyed when people call me Allison or other names because they assume that Ally is my nickname LOL.

Oh my goodness, one of my brothers is the same way! I’m always asking him for tech help, and…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Hello fellow Allie! Is Allie a nickname for, like, Allison or are you just Allie? I am just a boring, plain-old Ally, LOL.

Don’t worry, my tech skills are not impressive either; I have to keep asking other members of my family who are more technologically inclined for help whenever I have troubles. 😉

Aww, thanks for offering to…[Read more]

@lonathecat Awww, thanks.

As for not smudging charcoal…I can’t help you much.😄 I try not to worry about smudging too much. It’s frustrating when it erases detail, but I find that a little smudging here or there can actually look better. My tactic is usually to get as dirty as possible at the beginning, and then finish up with dark detail and…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Hi Lona! Nice to meet you!

I’m glad you like my story’s setting!

I completely relate with the book’s idea leading to another idea. And another. And that one character is actually really interesting and–😂

Do you have a current WIP or are you in between projects?

I learned English when I was really young, so I picked it up like a…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Same! XD Haha.

@lonathecat

Hmmm.. Perhaps I shall question mine siblings on whether they prefer crunchy or creamy, then report back to thou?

Yes! I did! Did you?

@lonathecat

*reverently rises from kneeling position* I thank thee.  I promise to uphold the Crunchy Oath and to fight valiantly for the Crunchy cause. *bows*

I know!!!!! I’m still too full for breakfast…

Thank you!!! I think Mark Twain was rather right, if you get what I mean 🙂

@lonathecat

Wow, I never thought about that… I have no idea!! That’s an interesting thought..

Ah, but that’s all of us! I mean, anybody you talk to can testify to getting into a ridiculous situations. But I get what you mean.. I’m always face-palming at myself, ha ha.

Then maybe you just need to write a series and have them feature as main characters in another book, @lonathecat. (But you could leave out the dramatic death, of course.)

@lonathecat

Lona, this is really good!!  I love reading about how fantasy worlds are created. 😉

Hope there’s more to come!!!

@lonathecat

*GASP* Thou musteth be right! The creamy peanut butters must be behind the nefarious commas…

Lol, same XD Hard to convey meanings without tone.

*stares at screen as my tiny mind is blown* Lona, you are a fountain of wisdom, pure wisdom.

@lonathecat

Aye, that ’tis a great idea, though I side with thou in the fear of an uprising because of it.  BUT YESSS!!!! Maketh thou’s lowly servant thine lieutenant!

Yes, definitely tell me if you do!
Wow, all that sounds really delicious!  Good thing it’s Thanksgiving tomorrow–I couldn’t bare it if I would have to go without good food with a…[Read more]

@lonathecat

I’ve had this problem a bit, especially with a family member who reads my stories. I’m told they’re kinda depressing and heavy sometimes.

I’ve found three things are important:

1) Writing the stories we feel called to write. For instance, I have a really hard time writing children’s stories. I just enjoy asking really deep and…[Read more]

@mischievous-thwapling, I can see why it would be frustrating/annoying to have your story misinterpreted like this, but in a sense, that’s a big part of the fun of being a writer who actually has readers. Once your story is out there in the world, it’s not entirely yours anymore–suddenly you’re sharing it with loads of people you’ve never met,…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Yeah, thank you for lending your time to my predicament! 😛

@lonathecat

Just sayin’ what I’m seein’ 😛 😉

@lonathecat

I know! Same 🙂

NOooooOOOo!!! *sheds tear* You’re right, we shall earn back tenfold our loss tomorrow!

Oooh, very good random question.

Okay, for main dish: Indian main dish of masala (I think it’s called that) with garbanzo beans; American side dish of stuffing (that counts, right?); Cider drink from England; Chinese desert of…[Read more]
