@urwen-starial Ohhh those are amazing!! 😀 The main thing I noticed with the first one is that the top of the ponytail could have used a bit more shading, but aside from that–I’m not great at art critique, and they look wonderful to me!!

@claire-h @dakota Thanks so much! 😀

@kristianne-hassman Thank you so much! 😀

@emberynus-the-dragonslayer Thank you! Ooooh you’ll have to let me know as soon as it’s up!!

@zee Thanks a bunch! This has been really encouraging. 🙂

@sparrowhawke Hey, if you need a place to learn ASL, lifeprint.com is an amazing site for that!! @hope-mcclellan and I both learned it there. The teacher’s both quality and hysterical, and you get a lot on Deaf culture too!

@dakota @kayla-skywriter @mayacat @seekjustice @edmund-lloyd-fletcher

Tagging you guys separately so the spam filter doesn’t eat things up. XD

Fun!

YES ANOTHER WRITER WHO’S NOT A COFFEE/TEA PERSON!! I just like hot cocoa XD

I’m an INFP, type 9, and proud Hufflepuff. All three of those point to a pure cinnamon roll, but in addition to that I’m a firecracker lol.

Time for another . . .

If my guy characters were roommates:

Tai to Gerik: you’re a terrible roommate and nobody likes you

Dari: Let’s try phrasing it this way: “When you do this, it makes me feel this.” 🙂

Tai: Ok. . . When you. . . live here. . . it makes me feel. . . a…[Read more]

@deeprun Any suggestions for this?

@dakota Whoops! XD I guess I’ve just had my main character Grace in mind (who’s blonde).

Kedori nodded rapidly. Just out of breath. Are you ready?

@emberynus-the-dragonslayer @dakota @urwen-starial @mayacat @esmeralda-gramilton @kayla-skywriter

Kedori dodged piles of garbage and rubble on the road as he raced for the Sector Two gate. Please let her be there, God. Please.

At the sight of the blonde woman by the gate, tears sprung into his eyes. She got permission. He’s going to be o…[Read more]

@urwen-starial @everyone else

ACK I’VE BEEN FORGETTING TO DO MY PARTS. SO BUSY. AND SO VERY SORRY

I’ll have to see what I can do today *cri*

But nice job, Urwen!

@zee What’s the link for your blog?

@hope-ann

I don’t have a lot I can say on this since I usually write fantasy (and yes, it’s possible that I do so for this very reason XD), but I do have an idea or two.

The first thing that came to mind was that you don’t need to include every detail or even every major part–in fact, you shouldn’t. How many people know all the details of 9/11…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy

@zee Ooh, I’ll have to give this some thought! I just recently finished the third draft of my novel.

*springs in* Hey, y’all! I’m joining this year with an underdeveloped story. XD XD XD

Mainly because I’M FINISHING THE FINAL REWRITE OF MY FIRST COMPLETED NOVEL!!!

Hopefully today!!!

The darlings I’ve been talking about on here for over a year will finally be complete <3 . . . after applying my friends’ edits lol.

But all that means I haven’t…[Read more]
