Oh yes! I had to wear a patch too, only over my good eye in an attempt to “wake” my bad one. Apparently my eyes just never did align as I was growing up and my brain decided to turn off my “inferior” eye to avoid dealing with it (honestly that sounds like a bad decision I would make XD). I was vaguely aware of it for a while but my good eye wor…[Read more]

Hello! Nice to meet you!

=====================≈==========

@imwritehere1920

You’re very welcome!

I’m working on my mystery series first. The synopsis is still a work in progress. I have a protagonist and a world dressed up with nowhere to go. I’m still thinking of a plot. I have a theme though.

It’s the same with my other W…[Read more]

Hi Tasha!

I kinda “felt” that you might be INFP type, since you chose the term “Melancholic” in your tag.
Did you ever hear of the Tim LaHaye book:

“Spirit-Controlled Temperament”

LaHaye, Tim. Spirit-Controlled Temperament . Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.

Melancholic is one of the “temperaments” mentioned in it which…[Read more]

According to Myers-Briggs, I’m an INTJ-INTP with the pretensions of being an INFP.

I share a commonality with the Apostle Paul in that verse:
For some say, “His letters are weighty and…[Read more]

I just realized not only are we both from Canada, we both have tag lines by JRR Tolkien. 😛 🙂 My family and I are watching the LOTR movies this week, and last night we just finished The Fellowship of the Ring. I loved one of the lines Gandalf said, so I’m considering changing my tagline to it. 🙂

Story Embers welcomes you, Professor Cochran! ( 😉 )

So where, if I may be so presumptuous as to ask, did you get your degree? xD But enough joking around here… down to business.

@melancholicwriter

Nice to meet you Tasha! “Prof” has a nice ring to it. 😉

Keep working hard on those books!

@melancholicwriter

Fun meeting more Canadians. 😉 😀

Yes, I write songs! Some are worship songs, others are more of prayers for people. (Like the one I just wrote for my friend’s family.) Eventually I want to record them (or my favourites) and make an album, but we’ll see when that time comes. I don’t have enough songs currently, so I’ll wait a…[Read more]

@arindown

Hi! Haven’t been around on here in a while, but planning to change that some. Life’s had it’s up and downs, but for the most part it’s pretty good. A friend of mine died last week and that was really hard, but it’s getting better now. (The song I wrote about loss is actually because of that, @melancholicwriter. I wrote it for his…[Read more]

@olivia Yay! How’s life going for you? I saw that you are taking writing really seriously (every day) now. Good job! I’ve been trying to take it seriously, but it’s hard (long) work. I’m supposed to be finishing my first draft in August.

@melancholicwriter Don’t worry, I totally understand about being “proud” of being INFP. I am too. And yes,…[Read more]

@tanyascreative

Hello and welcome to this beautiful place!

Your story makes me think of a song that I just wrote for friend’s of mine who are going through some hard stuff right now in life. I’m so glad to hear that you made it through, though I’m sure there are still challenging things.

I’m also a teen writer, who is slowly but surely finding…[Read more]

@melancholicwriter

You’re an INFP? *high fives* So am I!

Just out of curiosity, what does having this personality mean to you? I don’t know a lot of people with my personality (besides Anne Shirley, Frodo Baggins, Shakespeare, Tolkien, and other great dreamers I never got to meet😊) and it’s fun to see what other people see us as, and how we view…[Read more]

@melancholicwriter

You are very welcome ^_^ inspiring someone else to write is a very high compliment.

As for where to start… I would start with reconnecting to what ever drove you to write this story in the first place (this might sound weird, bear with me a moment). It could have been just for fun (nothing wrong with that), or maybe it was…[Read more]
