The Inkspiller

@thetessinator no worries! It’s great you’re back 🙂 And nice goals for the week!

I’m a tad late posting this because I was gone all day tomorrow, but here are my goals for the week:

– rework my plot

– write a post

– make final edits for my short story

What about you guys?

@the-inkspiller I didn’t mean it like that, honestly. I think having a thread like this can be very good. Especially when one person brings up a topic that others think about but either aren’t sure how to go about posting. My point was only that, just because a forum is all ‘happy’ doesn’t mean the people there don’t have similar struggles.…[Read more]

And here we are at another Monday (one of these days I’ll come up with something more original to say 😉 )

My new goals are:

– get a tangible plot for an idea I’m playing around with

– write an article

– create a Pinterest board for the plot bunny that attacked me yesterday

What about you all?

@the-inkspiller

First off, I agree writing forums are predominately female, and I’m guessing a reason for that is partially because a lot of Christian young ladies do not opt for careers in the world over waiting for a husband and a family, so they turn to writing as something they can do without going out into the working world.

Nextly…

I am…[Read more]

@the-inkspiller

Did someone say cynical? I’d never do that. Like ever. *coughs* I mingle sarcasm and cynicism to the extent I can’t keep them separate. Being an optimistic cynic would describe me pretty well, with expecting good in life and yet not actually expecting anything to ever go right. Don’t ask me how those go together. I don’t…[Read more]

@the-inkspiller, I understand something of where you’re at — I’m rather melancholic, and being around happy people for too long has a way of making me pessimistic just to provide some balance or something. And I know what it’s like to be cynical about politics, looking for someone to take advantage of their place where they can Do Something and…[Read more]

@the-inkspiller

Yes, I do have a slight fascination with fire. My current novel’s MC actually controls fire. A bit of a cliche, but I’m trying to make it original as I can. And dragons are epic.

As for political views…. I can’t say I really bother to keep up with the times, but I can say I’m against abortion, pro guns, etc… so I’m sort of a…[Read more]

@the-inkspiller hmm…I understand that pretty well. Is there a way to make the writing for your book contract not so much self-serving? Not that you quit doing it, but do it with a different attitude/intention might help. Beyond that, I’m don’t quite have any other thoughts, considering that I often feel everything I’m doing isn’t what God wants…[Read more]

@the-inkspiller

First off, I want to say that I’m a 15-going-on-16-year-old girl that’s been home-schooled her entire life and has no practical skills other than horse riding, math, and CPR. And if that doesn’t make you think twice about my advice, well, then you’re no ordinary human. But we cynics rarely are.

I relate. Or at least, in a way.…[Read more]

@the-inkspiller I think work is definitely important, but what I always have to ask myself is if I’m being busy for the sake of being busy or if my work is being fruitful. Then I have to ask what the fruits of my work are. Is what I’m working on actually necessary? Is it something God actually wants me to do? More often than not, I find that I’m…[Read more]

Woah, woah, woah! So, I leave for just a little while, and when I come back Erekdale has gained FIVE new citizens. Hmm… Anyways, welcome. And I am so sorry I couldn’t greet you sooner. I have been gone for a while. Feel free to tell me about yourselves if you want to, even though I was late. XD

Time to set some new goals 😉

Mine are:

– finish my short story and get it critiqued

– work on my outline

– finish a blog post and write a newsletter

@the-inkspiller

Hey, I really appreciate your post. I do think there are a lot of people who feel like you.

I’m pretty happy and lighthearted at the moment, but I actually just came out of a long bout of depression. It was really weird. Like, I was sinking lower and lower and feeling desperate then one day I woke up and I was totally…[Read more]

@the-inkspiller I can start off by saying that I resonate with this a lot, considering that a lot of the time I feel too cynical and sarcastic for most people to understand 😛 It feels out of place in most of the online community, especially because I’m unsure if I’m offending people or not by showing that side of my personality, so I tend to lean…[Read more]
