If anyone needs a writing buddy on Nano, my username is the same as it is here (red_converse).

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]

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. >.<

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. ^_^

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? 😅

I think I stumbled on a pin one time, and the rest is history! Kept having glitches in the forum registration, though, but thanks to the team for registering me in!

@chalice Hello Chalice! I like to write primarily fantasy with an extra side of suffering. 😂😅 How about you?

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]

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!

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]

Let’s see!

1. You said English was the third language you learned. What were the first two?

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]

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!
