@ariella-newheart I love that quote! You know, it’s really the people you can be comfortably, quietly, simply silent with that are close friends. At least. In my experience. 🙂 *shrugs*
@taylorclogston Ugh! I would love to review your book but two problems… 1. I don’t have an Amazon or Goodreads account and 2. Life. 😛

What I Read –Â Not really this past week so it might be cheating, but I finally got around to reading Mistborn: The Final Empire. Pretty innovative magic system there that was kept pretty consistent throughout. Definitely had a few weakpoints, though.
What I Wrote – A technical paper for research. Actual story-wise, I’m trying to focus on two t…[Read more]

@taylorclogston Never really explored D&D or anime, so no idea if this would be my thing, but I’m willing to read a little bit and see if it appeals to me. If it does, I’ll leave a review.

@taylorclogston The original Thrawn trilogy is good!
(and good luck with Camp NaNo! Do you have a plan for what to write yet?)
I won’t be starting a new book, that’s for sure. 😛 Since I have quite a lot written on Fire Moon, I think I’ll use that project. I have a relatively clear idea of what I want the plot to be and I know the characters. That…[Read more]

@taylorclogston Your novella sounds cool!
What I read- Thrawn by Timothy Zahn. This is a great piece of Star Wars fiction. Though I was a little confused by some of the plot twists, it was nice getting a look inside Thrawn’s head.
I also read For Love and Honor by Jody Hedlund and The Healer’s Apprentice by Melanie Dickerson. Unless you’re really…[Read more]

Results are up! We didn’t do so well this time, but we did know that. 😉 A fair few people didn’t get their counts in on time, and those of us who did, didn’t write a ton. Myself well and truly included.
But guess what, guys? There’s a good chance that we’ll have a word war in July when we’re Camp NaNo-ing to absolutely thrash the other guilds!…[Read more]

Hello all, and welcome to the month before July, or more specifically, the month before a lot of writers go completely mental and write a heap. 😉
If you are new to the vast quantity of writing forums out there, April and July are Camp NaNo seasons. Camp NaNo is an online writing “camp” where you and up to 19 fellow writers band together to try…[Read more]

Guys, guess what??
Parimi Alca is ONE YEAR OLD! *flails* It was announced to the world on May 28th, and Steward reminded me of this the other day. Unfortunately, I then totally ran out of time to actually say anything. 😛 But I just wanted you all to know this exciting fact, and get excited with me. 😀
So yay,…[Read more]

Hello all! This has actually been around for a while, but I totally forgot to announce it. (story of my life right now, honestly. XD)
We didn’t win, sadly. </3Â That title goes to our friends over in Meraki, so be sure to congratulate them!
Our main issue was (as we kinda knew) that it was a HUGE story trying to masquerade as a super-duper…[Read more]

Does Jess deserve an award for being super forgetful??? YEP. *nervous laughter* Thank you, Catherine, for reminding me of this. XD
We have a word war happening, people!
This one is going from Monday to Sunday. If you’ve already written words from Monday to today, count them as well. *facepalm* Still can’t believe I forgot this.

@pursuewisdom *coughs* Sooo I actually hated the Horatio Hornblower books. That is… at least the later ones. The first two were bunches of fun! I’ve never watched the series though…
What I read – I just started Beowulf. I like to read ahead the book I’m going to write papers on in the fall, so that’s the first one. And then @taylorclogston…[Read more]

🙂 Love C&P! Dostoevsky really goes deep in his writing – it took me six months to finish his Brothers Karamazov but it was worth it (the length of time may have had something to do with the translation I picked up). Which translation are you reading?

@taylorclogston Sounds like good pets to keep you accountable. Maybe don’t feed them until you write for the day. Then either you get your writing done, and done fast, or they come after you.

@taylorclogston Should I be concerned then? What of their brutality do you find so intriguing and attractive? XD 😉
Thanks for asking! It’s going well. Right now I’m just getting used to the pens and figuring out a name and plan. Make some business cards, a site, and all that fun stuff. (:

As an introvert who lives in the middle of nowhere and is known for muttering, “humans” under her breath whenever she’s around other people, I have to say that I often find it hard to actually hang out with people…Even the writerly sort. I mean, what if they’re extroverts? What if there’s more than two of them?
Thankfully, Faith is here today…[Read more]

I’ve been talking to my recently graduated Graphics Design friend about cover design. Neat stuff.
Ooh, that is neat. I’m actually considering going into graphic design for college. And it’s awesome you’ve gotten the submission pretty much squared away. I hope you win the contest! 😀

Thank you so much! I forgot to mention it in my original post but I meant to put a call out specifically for male readers, since I haven’t had any so far and I’d love a bit of feedback on my male characters.
