@sparrowhawke Salve! Nice to meet another Latin speaker (well, as close as one can get to being one without anyone actually speaking it today) (as you can tell, I’m rather bitter about that). What are some of your favorite Latin words?

@sam-m “What is the difference between justice and revenge?” is probably my favorite of those… I would love to see how you answer that!

@zee “What’s going to happen next?” is a very relatable question XD

@toklaham-veruzia What does the talking sword want?

@zee I… don’t know what I am? XD I used to be a total pantser, but it turns out that my years of pantsing my current WIP led to it actually being plotted, so now I’m writing it with a plot — although it’s fairly loose and mostly in my head. I did NaNo for the first time last year and won, and my plot was the script of a musical I was inspired…[Read more]

Ooh, what a fun idea! *thinks* Okay, these are all from my MC’s POV:

Who am I? Who is my family? Do I have to be like them?
Can I be good if my parent was a traitor? Do I *want* to be good?
Will I ever be truly known and appreciated? Can I live with it if I am not?

And oh, aghh, answers. Well. #1 is a ton of spoilers, but basically the answer is…[Read more]

I’m super late on this but I’m just gonna chime in to agree with everything @daeus said above.

For everyone who thinks your book is cultural appropriation, there are probably a thousand someones who don’t care a bit and will absolutely love your story.

I think my post was marked as spam because of the links… *sigh* my main/bookish blog is mayajt.wordpress.com, and my poetry/rambly blog is whenthroughthewoods.wordpress.com 🙂

*Hey everyone! (I don’t know what happened there XD)

Get everyone! I’m kind of late to this thread (haven’t been on SE much lately), but I am — kind of — doing NaNo! I’m aiming for 25k this month on my current WIP, and I’m using the NaNo site to track my writing (it’s going to say I lost, which is okay. I really haven’t got the time for 50k at the moment). My username is Maya Joelle if anyone…[Read more]

It was such fun to read all of your first lines!

Mine is this: “Rosamund woke in the grey dawn to the smell of smoke.”

@morwen Hey! I think I remember you from YDubs. Vaguely. (I left mid-June.) Were you on the Crazy Writing Week? With a black and white profile pic?

I’m on KP too but I very rarely use it — even less than I use SE, and I’m (sadly) quite sporadically on here.

What kind of theology do you enjoy? All of it? XD I love theology, and philosophy as…[Read more]

Sorry I haven’t been around. Vacationing made it so I couldn’t write, and then I just… didn’t. But I should have. So now I’m back and planning to write a lot over the rest of the summer. Let me know if any of you want to word war!
