    to try to keep writing, i am fully willing to complete any prompts anyone throws at me. pm me with one and i'll write you something short, be it a poem or a short scene.

    Do you do any other arts besides writing (e.g., visual art, knitting, photography, acting, et cetera)
    yep. i draw a lot and want to get into voice acting once i go on testosterone become comfortable with how i sound.

    How far do you think you're going to get into Nano?
    the whomst

    If you had to write a story in another author's style, who would you choose and why?
    good old willy shakes! i know, i'm a loser. i've always admired the way he wrote, the diction and way the sentences flow. maybe also mark z danielewski, author of house of leaves. i love the way his sentences switch from meticulous and factual to erratic and wandering in that book.

Well, I do some drawing but it's awful so I'm not pinning anything on that. It's stress relief and gives me a sense of fulfillment since I can do a sketch, line, and color in pretty quick then never have to come back to it. I did a bit of drama a while ago and honestly I actually really like it, as long as I can get along with the other people. Recently I've been doing photography for 4-H and really like it. It's frustrating though, I want to take pictures of dragons. And dragons don't exist DX.

How far do you think you're going to get into Nano?
I want to get all the way through the first draft. I have a full outline, a good grasp on the plot, and pretty good characters. I really think I could get to 60k if I try.

If crediting me for art/character design then please use TheSongOfTheStars on Toyhou.se
or FiveSecondsToFly on deviantart for anywhere else

I have actively written anything of substance (voluntarily at least) really since a year ago. Life sucks when you're in a slump.

welcome new friends <3

yes : D I adore water color and piano, and I think stage craft and costume creation is very interesting.

How far do you think you're going to get into Nano?

let's be honest- not far at all. I'll try, and that's what counts <3

I do a bit of drawing, both traditional and digital. Also acting (I'm not super good at it though. XD)

Idk... I want to finish but realistically I'll be happy if I get three-quarters of the way through... I've just got so much school and my time management skills are crap. XD

Welcome new peeps! Stay away from carrots.

If you had to write a story in another author's style, who would you choose and why?
I really like Maggie Stiefvater's writing style, and I've been trying to incorporate parts of it into my own writing.

It has to be done. I don't want her to go I love her so much
Hopefully I'll do good enough job of getting readers close to her before she actually dies though.
Also, your interests were fine before, and they're still fine now ^-^

    Holy heck for some reason I really like your handwriting
    What's going on? And what are you going to do if an innocent classmate finds your murder plot?

I'm glad you do cuz half the time I can't read it
I'm planning a death. None of them are innocent so who cares
I'm at like a continuation type school cuz it's smaller so it's easier on my anxiety

Nope. Unless coding on here counts?

I'm really pessimistic but I'm hoping I can finish this year.

So I have my story is up in a google doc, and I'm rewriting. I think I'm just about done with the prologue. Could someone tell me what you think? hopefully this link works

Yes, I do a lot of traditional drawing, and if I had a camera maybe I'd try photography.

Wind -

Aah, that writing was really interesting and elegantly written! I can tell you're a very sophisticated writer.

Ranger -

Nope, your interests are really cool!

Welcome new peoples <3

I do a lot of digital art, most of it goes onto my deviantART (same user), and I also play the ukulele. Recently I've been learning Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel, which is a lot more difficult than any other song I've ever learned because it involves picking the whole song rather than strumming, which is something I've never done before. It really confuses me when I've got to pick in time and sing it as well. I'm not good at multitasking in that respect. It's actually out of my vocal range slightly, but I'm practicing as best I can!

How far do you think you're going to get into Nano?
Nowhere because I'm not doing it! :lol:

Hey, it's past 4am. Why am I not even close to being tired? Tempted to try and write something but I guarantee it will be worse than the time I tried to add to an essay I was writing when I was off my head on prescription painkillers (it was very funny, ngl).

Know what? Imma try and write something Edgar Allan Poe-esque. Why not? I'll update with what happens yo

Welcome, all new people! I'm Wren, one of the first members here I think... huh, that was a while ago! Anyway, you have already had the carrot warning - good good. :) now you need nicknames - *Raises eyebrows at Ranger.*

@Steve I shall read it when I have finished my Latin, to motivate me!

Edit: I read the thing and it was pretty good! It was a little confusing, but I think that was just because it was the first chapter and I don't know much about WOK. I will keep reading it!

5am, I've written 4 paragraphs and I have no idea where I'm actually going with this. So far it's a boy who gets a pet dog after his friend Richmond dies of TB, sprinkled in with depression and an alcoholic father...happy thoughts in the wee hours of the morning (to contrast this, I'm fangirling over the guitar hero drums that were in the background of the show i'm watching bc nostalgia)
