I’m going to continue my fantasy book that I keep having to park due to grad school. ^-^ It’s a bit of a hybrid between a Final Fantasy game and the Asian American immigrant experience.
If anyone needs a writing buddy on Nano, my username is the same as it is here (red_converse).

@middleearthmusician Yeah, indeed! And unfortunately, it’s like an hour drive to the school (more with traffic). ._. So we shall see!

@middleearthmusician I will let you know! I’m starting to think it may be a while before I go in because I overestimated my ability to work, school, AND add wushu. I did a short bout in Wing Chun, but I kind of needed a bit more direction. So I’m not sure if it was the school or the art that I was struggling with. I’m also not very graceful, so…[Read more]

Thanks, @kristinbradley! My program is year-round, so I don’t get much breaks, but I’ve got about 1.5 years or so left. Some days I wonder why I’ve done this to myself. 😅
I have class tonight and work all day beforehand, but my muse decided to keep me awake until like… 2:30a or so. So… probably an energy drink day. >.<

Hi @bigideaskc! I’m new and have also been intermittent. This is what I get for signing up toward the end of the school year. XD
Your WIP sounds like a lot of fun! And by fun, I mean it sounds like you have a lot of horrible and violent things happening in there, and I am HERE FOR IT. ^_^

Inactive replied to the topic Map Making Websites in the forum Research and Worldbuilding 3 years ago
Super low-tech, but I saw a post where someone dropped a bunch of dice and traced the edges. A friend did something similar where she ripped up some paper and traced it. Some things I can’t do digitally, and this is one of them, sooo sorry I didn’t give a good website recommendation, but hopefully this helps? 😅

Inactive replied to the topic Any others at intermediate level? in the forum Writing Level & Journey Plans Discussions 3 years ago
I ranked Intermediate, and I think that’s fairly accurate. 😅 One area in need of improvement I’ve discovered somewhat recently is that I tend to tell stories like I’m retelling a story someone else told me. I hit all the facts and events, but I don’t hit the brakes to let the characters experience the situations. And I also shuffle them along from…[Read more]

I’ve considered a pen name for when I eventually start querying because I do tend to like not having my life publicly available for all to see. But ya, I don’t mind people knowing me here. ^-^ Always(?) nice to be known. 😅

@h-jones Hi Grace! Thanks for the welcome!
Yeah, I tend to wear a lot of black or gray, so red converse are what I wear to finish off the look and not look entirely monochromatic. 😅
I am only slightly aware of MBTI. I really never thought much of it before because of how different my results would be, but then I figured out why that happened,…[Read more]

Alas, still allergic. Haha. Plus, I have to be mindful of my rabbits. Kittens are stinkin cute, though.
Soup dumplings are my jam. It’s a dumpling with soup inside. Best. Ever. When done right anyhow.

I’m working on a Masters currently. It’s… a lot. 😅
Funny enough, one of my bosses literally just asked me if I wanted a kitten. 😂 His cat is giving birth like right now.
Hope you enjoy the authors!
Hahaha well, I just don’t like sweet things. I’m not anti-PB&J, but if those two options were the only ones in front…[Read more]

That’s exciting! I struggle with not editing as I go (the curse of the perfectionist). Sadly, I’m still kind of toward the beginning of this story, but… it feels like I’ve done SO MUCH WORK already! 😅 And yeah, it’s super easy to compare, and this is largely why I have imposter syndrome. 😅 It always seems like other writers are just…[Read more]

@lianajdouglas Hi Lina! Thanks for the welcome. 😄
Let’s see!
1. You said English was the third language you learned. What were the first two?
I spoke 2 dialects of Chinese! My mom and grandparents taught me some English to prep me for kindergarten, but I didn’t really get a hang of English till maybe 3rd grade. I think that was when my Chinese…[Read more] -

Nice to meet you, too, @bama-rose! 🙂 Thank you for the welcome!
I spoke 2 dialects of Chinese (which sound so different, they basically are separate languages 😅). Since I’ve learned English, though, I “gained” an American accent when I speak Cantonese, so I’d really like to try and get rid of it and sound more like I’m supposed to speak that…[Read more]

Hi all!
I find introductions to be the most awkward things in the world. “Hello, nice to meet you. Please give me a 3-5 second summary of your life because that’s all the time we’ve got.” 😅 In general, I’ve always been bad at talking about myself. But here goes!
I am a late bloomer in the trade, and I suffer from imposter syndrome. As a young…[Read more]
