ProfessorSJB replied to the topic {2018 – Week 2} Learning From Other Books in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 8 years, 4 months ago
I am a fan of C. S. Lewis’s writing style (and C. S. Lewis)!
There was a boy named Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it. His parents called him Eustace Clarence and masters called him Scrubb. I can’t tell you how his friends spoke to him, for he had none. He didn’t call his Father and Mother “Father” and “Mother”, but Harold and…

ProfessorSJB replied to the topic {2018 – Week 1} Character Voice in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 8 years, 4 months ago
Wow, I totally didn’t forget about this!
Anyhow, below is my random snippet. I borrowed a character from one of my older stories that I rewrote so many times…he’s sort of hard to figure.
“So, where you from?” the man with half of his teeth missing from his grin asked me. He smells funny, not that I would say so. His southern accent jumbles…[Read more]

ProfessorSJB replied to the topic Me..? Advanced? I don't think that's right.. in the forum Writing Level & Journey Plans Discussions 8 years, 4 months ago
I took the test twice and still got Advanced, so I guess that’s that. I was just wondering what I can do to further improve my writing…I (try to) write every day, and I research a lot on how to write and test them. The only thing is, I don’t really have someone who reads my story (except maybe my brother). Do you have any…[Read more]

Hi, I know I’m
late for the partyJapanese so I am never late. I totally LOVE the villain idea. I’m the kind of person who falls heads and heels over antagonists-and-those-villains, so I can sort of relate? I haven’t written a death-scene yet, but I have told them and was told it (was not a good idea to do so in the nighttime by my…[Read more] -
ProfessorSJB replied to the topic Introductions! Pizza! Best Buddies! in the forum Announcements 8 years, 5 months ago
I like mangas more than animes, but then again Ghibli is “anime”… In Japan, pretty much everything is in manga XD
Welcome, and I love the fact that you are an appreciator of Joe Hishaishi! I love other soundtracks, too, including ones from movies I’ve watched and have no idea the title to.

I am living in Vancouver as of current, and my writer-self lives in the woods between the worlds. (Vancouver is nice, but you don’t realize how much rain you get from the postcards!)
I’m the same with Parker. I tried…[Read more]

The first work is watercolour, and the second is a mix of colouring pencils/watercolour.

ProfessorSJB replied to the topic Which book should I write?? in the forum Meraki Writing Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
And you can always come back to it with a fresh mind! I have one story idea that I abandoned a couple of years ago. One day I found (what was left of) notes from that story, and I actually would like to re-challenge it. I’ve also done a few re-writes of my old story ideas that turned out great, so every story is important.

ProfessorSJB replied to the topic The Artists of SE in the forum Art Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
I use a variety of mediums, but my favourites are watercolour and colouring pencils and a good set of mechanical pencils! What mediums do you use?

So you must also be an Inspector. Greetings, dear comrade.
I may be biased, but Tokyo is the best city in the world. Everyone who is capable of going there should do so.
I love mystery and thrillers, although I haven’t written too much in that genre yet. I plan to in the future, and you can be my senpai (senior)!

I mostly draw people, and I like the manga style! I have a Google + page for a few artworks/art-related things. https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/117356709729179689126/stream/a40dfbad-278b-4b5b-9e79-4ee8adb54f81

I love your artworks! I like to name my artworks, but sometimes they don’t have names but themes 🙂

Wow…so I managed to stumble across a forum for ARTISTS! All of the works here are amazing and fun 🙂 I’d like to post some of my art here too! And it’s also nice that many of the people are self-taught? (Anyhow, I teach myself, as well.)

ProfessorSJB replied to the topic Which book should I write?? in the forum Meraki Writing Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
I’ve had a similar experience. I had a book that I began writing four or five years ago, and worked through it for around three years. I got my first rough draft done and began rewriting, but I had to drop it. It was also a “decent” story. I still go back to it and I totally love my characters (because they’re like your children, basically), yet I…[Read more]
