Oh, and if I officially get kicked off the forum (haha, just kidding), will I also no longer receive the emails? I wanna unsubscribe from those as well.

She’s part of this great group of young people who all love to write, but she’s discovered she is in a different phase of life and must move on. How can she exit the group?

Lol, all that was just for fun. I’m the main character and this is the group of writers. But ya, I’m in a new phase of life and need…[Read more]

Yup, I fully agree with the different parts of one body but all working together and no part is any better than another!

And ya, it’s true that although I’m dropping novel writing, I can still be of help to others, and I believe there are other poets on here that I could share ideas with and such. Granted, my poems…[Read more]

Aww, thanks. 🙂 I feel sorta like it really is a family now (@obrian-of-the-surface-world) with you guys telling me not to go. Haha

Lol, I love how you say ‘writing life’ and ‘life life’, because I totally know what you mean. 😉 They’re sorta separate worlds for me too, haha.

But ya, I was just gonna leave because of the reasons I gave…[Read more]

That was pretty encouraging to hear. 🙂 I may stay now because of it, but I’ll explain my situation a bit more so you understand why I was intending to leave.

I enjoy writing, I really do, but I’ve realized over the past two months that writing is not something I want to pursue with a great deal of time because it’s…[Read more]

But… (lol) I dunno how to leave. Aka, quit my account.

@daeus-lamb

It certainly is, and thank you. 🙂

Well good for you for stepping out and trying. Sometimes that’s not always easy, but while it doesn’t always turn out well, when it does it’s well worth the uncertainty at first.

Haha, you are welcome for the unintentional idea and I hope it works out! I often just number my titles, which I like as well, but titles are fun sometimes.

#ForeshadowingIsTheBest 😛 🙂

Yup yup 🙂

It does, though if we’re being truly fair, we wouldn’t have stories to write if it wasn’t for life. 😉 But ya, I get what you mean. It’s okay though, because I’m a little worn out right now and need a bit of a break anyway, so needing to pause writing right now is actually good for me.

You’re welcome! 🙂 It’s always nice to…[Read more]

No problem! I like answering when I can. 🙂

Agreed!!! I’ve always loved how unique the book and chapter titles are and have even thought about making my titles similar, since I love them so much. xD I might, but who knows…

Yup, foreshadowing adds a lot to a story that you just can’t get any other way. *sighs contentedly,…[Read more]

But in answer to your un-asked…[Read more]

One of the things I enjoy the most about that POV is how the MC (or narrator, basically), can foreshadow and leave hints here and there about…[Read more]

I couldn’t help noticing the title and thinking “sounds like it should be from the Mysterious Benedict Society”, and voila! you mentioned it yourself! xD Those books are so good.

But after seeing that catching title, let me finish reading what this was about in the first place… xP

Sure thing! I only wrote the first draft so far and it’s pretty bad, so I can get back with you after I write the second draft.Though I’m not sure when that will be, since I just started working on a new story for a break and to learn more about the main things in storytelling, like plotting everything out first, character arcs, and so…[Read more]

Oh, that sounds cool! It is rather difficult trying to put your own story into six words though, or it was for me anyway. I was like “there’s so much to it that I can’t just do six words!” 😛 Haha

@michelle

Ya, it’s a nice post to come back into the community with. 🙂 Nice to meet you too! *waves back* I’m actually not sure how…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy

I know, same! It was fun writing them.

I know, the one about Josh is really sad, but the idea isn’t mine. I got it from a book I recently read, called The Brotherhood by Jerry B Jenkins. It was really good, though sad.

Haha, you caught me! I wasn’t going to do it since I…[Read more]

No problem! It was fun.

By the way, how do you know my mom likes you? 😉 Haha

Hello! Thank you for making this post. Super cool idea, by the way!

Haha, I like those best too, though the last one is my WIP, so I like that one too.

I really like yours! They’re so good!

1. Love thrown to the wind. Forgotten.

2. “Here lies beloved Josh. Forever three.”

3. Hidden jewels. Forgotten lives. Eternal light.

4. Reunited twins. Strong friendship. Sacrificial love.

It’s totally fine, I haven’t been on here in a while either for the same reason.

Ya, I noticed some that he mentions food when they eat. But I didn’t think about it that it’s probably to show the difference between the different cultures of each people group. I like that though.

The growth after a fire is always really lush and I like it…[Read more]

Oh, nice! That’s a cool form to make art in, and I like the scene you chose to draw of Lucy at the Reaping.

Wow, that is really old. Guess he wasn’t ready to relinquish his hold on running the country yet though. 😉 Haha, I’m sure he wouldn’t ever have been until he died.

Ya, the open-endedness of Lucy’s end is good.

Okay,…[Read more]

Yup, so true! But though it definitely wasn’t my favourite book ever, it was okay.

Oh, that’s cool! What form of art do you make fan art with? Like Drawing, painting, etc.

I feel bad for Tigris too, but I guess we can only imagine what happened between them…

Same! I thought of him as like seventies at the latest, but I…[Read more]

I’ll try to remember to look those up tomorrow. He definitely did not! I was so mad at him at the end of the book. I don’t care if he went through a lot in life and simply needed some counselling, what he did just made me mad, even though I knew where he was going to end up since I’d read the Hunger Games before.

Haha, yes,…[Read more]

Sorry it took me so long to read over this!

My initial thoughts are that it is definitely very descriptive, sometimes overly so, though I think you may know that already by requesting advice. The overall scene isn’t bad, it’s just sometimes the description can get to be a little much. Not to say that it all needs to go. Quite a bit…[Read more]

Awesome! I’m glad to have been of service. 🙂

Oh cool, I might look her up! Sounds interesting.

Aww, good! I’ve read quite a few books where people tell the stories of previous history through songs and it’s really cool, so that’s a good idea. Glad you have ideas!

Yes! I made these points up as I was trying to think of…[Read more]

Accidentally posted the other one before I was done answering your previous post. xP

Ya, I’m excited, even though I haven’t done much for it yet. I have a friend who’s been blogging for a few years now and I love her blog, so I’ll definitely get her to help me a lot. I agree. It would be better for me to take my time and have everything…[Read more]

No kidding! He does have a lot of songs in his stories, but I sorta like it. If they’re too long then it gets sorta boring, but I like the uniqueness of it.

Wow, that would be so weird to actually see the fires! I saw the place that is only about ten minutes out of town where the fire went through and burned just about everything, and it…[Read more]

Haha, aren’t we all…

I haven’t really tried adding poems or songs to my stories, but I do write both, so let me see if I can help at all. 🙂

First things first, I agree that songs included in stories are really cool, and when I was reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, I’d make up a little tune in my head for each song. So yes, I think it’s…[Read more]

I didn’t realize how much of a difference it makes when I say Northern Ontario versus North Western Ontario. xD Now I see how much of a difference it can make! We’re like way over, close to the Manitoba border.

Haha, so I don’t know the name, but let me look it up on a map… it may be closer than I’m picturing. And I have no idea where Highway 7 is, so I really need to look it up. xD

We live in a small mine town really far North, two and a half hours farther North of Dryden. Do you know where that is?

Cool! My family became missionaries on a First Nations reserve in North Western Ontario when I was one, but we moved from the res when I was twelve. So I was an MK for ten and…[Read more]

Haha, ya, I guess that’s exactly what stories are too. xD So I suppose the only differences between songs and stories are that songs have music and are shorter.

xD That’s hilarious! We don’t get much rain in the summer, which makes so the forest gets really dry. There are often forest fires in the summer because of it, and last summer, my…[Read more]

Looking at that chart, I think an ESFP for myself is right. But the description on the Myers Briggs site almost doesn’t sound like me. Some of it does, but quite a bit doesn’t. Though I suppose it would change a lot how I interact with other people around me because I’m a Christian, so that could explain the differences.
