That’s so cool! I’m still playing harp. Can you read sheet music yet? I remember what an absolute struggle that was to learn XD Learning to sight-read was an uphill battle and until then I had to memorize the songs XD

Oh, the harp is such a beautiful instrument! And yes, I can read music, but I’ve only memorized one song (well, most of it); do you have a lot memorized? And reading music is so hard, especially when those notes go way up or down, LOL

Did you know harp and piano can mostly use the same music? I have a limited amount of modulations I can do, (E, A and B flat, and C, D, F, G sharp) and some runs are harder, but otherwise it’s really similar! What’s your favorite kind of music to play?

No, I didn’t! That’s so cool! I think my favorite type of music to play might be theme songs, but I like swing too, bc swinging notes is just “jazzy.” Then again, I feel elegant playing classical, lol What about you?

LOL, I’m afraid Liorah is a jealous brat and doesn’t allow me to do anything else XD I’ve actually never tried short stories, though I do want to! I might end up doing a few over the winter!

Well, if you do write ’em, I’ll read ’em! (and tell Liorah Brooke says she needs to share 😛 )

LOL, sorry, I can’t resist ranting about my characters. XD What are your favorites in your current WIP?

All of your characters sound SO AWESOME! I would totally love to meet all of them, and if you ever publish those books, let me know! Could you tell me more about Chantara and Ziyad (if you don’t mind)? They sound really interesting! Do you have a method for coming up with characters, or do they just sort of “pop” into the story as you go?

Ah, and my favorite characters. Here we go! *rubs hands together and takes a deep breath*

I really love Chaha, the MC. She tends to say the wrong things at the wrong times, and she fakes optimism while inwardly wailing about anything that might go wrong. She also wails about her oily hair. She tends to be impatient, but is really caring and braver than she thinks. I haven’t gotten her all figured out yet, bc I’m still figuring out the first chapters of the book XD

And then there’s Chet, the cowboy. I feel really bad for him *sigh* He fell into the wrong company and did some bad things *another sigh* He’s sort of like the lion in The Wizard of Oz, in that he believes he is courage-less, and so when he stands up for his friends and then *starts sniffling* I’m just going to go cry into my pillow now. . .

In short, I just love all of them, so it would take forever to explain, haha, but I do like Nakkali too, because he is so interesting and stern and imposing and has a negative character arc *laughs evilly*

Thank you!!! I’m so happy I managed to finish it! How come? Do you usually get new ideas or do you just fall out of love with it?

For both of those reasons combined XD Sometimes, though, ideas from those stories will make their way into my new ones, so its interesting.

You remembered! That’s the one! Though, by this time, it’s almost a full-fledged story. It has also evolved into what might be a heist story with lots of betrayals and plot twists XD Most of the characters are almost fully realized, only unnamed. I have almost half the plot XD And I keep trying to push it down because I’m working on something else XD

Oh man, that sounds so EPIC!!! I can see why you’re having a hard time avoiding it, lol If you ever need to rant about it to someone, I’d love to hear it!

Ooh, that’s so cool! Tell me about it! I want to know everything! Also, if you ever get back to Kiark and Dancrow’s stories, I still want to read them 🙂 They sound so incredible and awesome!

Thank you! Maybe someday in the future I will resurrect their stories and bring them to fruition! As for my currect WIP, its that one I think I mentioned a while ago about the girl, Chaha, going on a quest to kill a silver tiger to save her sister from going mad. Chaha and her family are forced to leave the Kidishi mountains, because the bad-guy hired raiders from the country of Aride to do his dirty work. But then Chaha’s sister, Ihina, get poisoned (long story), and then an old lady tells them they have to kill the fabled silver tiger so Ihina can drink its blood. Then they go on a quest and run into new allies and dangers and get attacked by stuff and get themselves lost, etc. They also realize the bad-guy, Bagha-Pagala, also wants to drink the silver tiger’s blood. The main villian of this story is actually one of the hired raiders (Chet was once a raider), and I was planning to give him a redemption arc, somehow.

Okay, that was a mouthful. I hope you were able to swallow that without choking, XD I just love how we can talk and talk about our stories on here, and as fellow writers, we all get it!
