@lonathecat, I have to say that the LoTR books are better than the movies, but the movies really made the books come alive for me. I can’t really choose a favorite between the three books or movies, though. They’re all really good.

When I have time, I will definitely look at getting Beren and Luthien from the library. Have you ever read Tolkien’s…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Thanks for the welcome! I am definitely a fellow LoTR fan. Which do you like better, the books or movies? And what is your opinion of the Hobbit? I tried reading the Silmarillion a few years ago and could just never get into it. I may need to retry it again. I will also have to look into Beren and Luthien. It’s so nice to meet…[Read more]

Hi Lona!

I am actually just a freshman starting to dip my toes into publishing, thanks to the amazing Professional Writing program at my college, so I’m not too far into that world yet. That said, I am encouraged by the many opportunities that are so quickly opening up for me.

I do indeed like lattes! I tend to go for the classic…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Huh I think you might be right. I think you might put your tags in there, but I dunno.  Let me try something again.

@lonathecat

Haha, I’m actually not sure!! Here, I’m doing a test..

@princessmk

Yes, I only heard of them because of my schooling curriculum. 🙂

I’m glad that your mom’s dog is fine! I’ve had dogs that fought too. And that’s funny! I never heard of a cat that would do that 😀

Oh, that is a really good idea! I think I’ll try that.  I can want…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.  With the combination of school and the fact that I’m trying to be on the computer less, it’s been harder to keep up with everything 😛

Oh yes! I completely forgot about the penguins.. That could give us some trouble 😛

Lol, I get that.  We aren’t the most organized family that ever w…[Read more]

LOL, @lonathecat! I feel you about autocorrect and unusual words/names. I have the same problem, but what really gets me is when I’m proofreading along thinking, “All right, that’s just a name, that’s just a name…” and then later on, boom! I realize a misspelled word snuck in along with them.

As for questions, @e-k-seaver, I guess my biggest…[Read more]

@lonathecat

The story’s and poems I write I have a tendency to use words like “the,” “and,” “a,” and “said” plus sometimes “really,” a lot.  I realized yesterday that this will probably make it so that in my stories and poems I have to find a word to use instead or word it differently.

@lonathecat It is very random. 😂 But pretty great too! Dreams are so weird.

Thanks for sharing!

@lonathecat

I decided I would see if I had it figured out or not.

Thanks for the help.

@lonathecat

Oh, I would love for the first option, but it’s probably in your best interest to go for the second 😛

Haha, that’s funny.  Someday, I’m gonna do that.  First, I should probably get a plane to the arctic and into the middle of nowhere before I drink the three mugs though 😛

Well, everybody in my house is homeschooled–so I guess w…[Read more]

@lonathecat

Definitely!

Haha, yeah I get that.  I have a lot of friends like that too.

Yes! I’ve always thought they’re beautiful too.  And lol, yes I get that too.  I don’t know if I’m good at it, but I enjoy it. 🙂

Aw, thank you.  That means a whole lot.  I’ll admit, the road hasn’t been easy.  I thought adoption would be.  But it really…[Read more]

@mischievous-thwapling @lonathecat

This is such a good topic.

I think my favorite relationships are specific to the story…but they do have several things in common. Most of them are entered around family. I think the reason I love writing parent-kid or sibling relationships is because of how important family is to me. My siblings are where I…[Read more]

@lonathecat

That’s awesome! I totally get that.  In my WIP I have a brother and a sister as two of the main characters, and they are really fun to work with, I gotta admit 🙂

And yes, I like how you said the best friend relationships developing into romantic ones.  I dislike the love at first sight thing, or even just, “I barely know you, but b…[Read more]
