I have always believed that names are a vital part of creating a character, but have never found anyone who thought the same until now. I agree 100% with this article.

Hi to you too! Long live the INFJs!

I also like the Blades of Acktar, the Wingfeather Saga, and The Chronicles of Narnia in no particular order.

Is that even a legit question? OF COURSE I’VE READ THE WINGFEATHER SAGA!!!!! Er, at least the first two ones 😛 I’m waiting for the next two to come out in September.

Voice lessons? Wow, I always wished I could sing. But I sing like a crow (ok, that’s a little bit exagerrated, but you get the picture).

I like Andrew Peterson’s…[Read more]

My favorite book has to be Ecclesiastes because of its pessimistic note 😉 Favorite verse is Isaiah 9:2. I love the imagery it portrays in such vivid language. It speaks to me every time I read it. Favorite character is Esther. Cliche maybe,…[Read more]

I thought finding INFJs was impossible too.  I still don’t know any in real life, just online, haha.

I have finished one full length novel and two short stories, and I’m currently working on a fantasy novel and a dystopia.
