I've been trying to sign up for the gryffindor Common room so i can take part when they do the guest games and stuff like they did in Ravenclaw. this was months ago now and every time i try to log in it says i'm still waiting to be validated.i know the gryffindor common room was broken for a while (...
I definitely understand the duality of how listening to music can effect me creatively. Like others have noted, when there are lyrics present I tend to concentrate on those, especially when I actually know them. However, I do enjoy listening to music while I write sometimes because I feel like the ...
I have to listen to a very specific kind of music or it's just distracting for me. i can't stand it when there are words being sung because it ruins my flow and my brain can't focus on the words i'm working on. i listen to a lot of gaming music, especially stuff from roleplaying games like Skyrim, t...
I kept reading and forgot entirely to post in here! Ooops. Well, again I was flummoxed by the beginning. Somehow I have gotten used to stories being just stories. Not like that play of Shakespeares where some folks are watching a play and the play is about both the play and the folks who are watchi...
it's long, sorry, but i had fun writing it!) It was cold today but it was a pleasant feeling for the young man gracefully walking through the thick forest. The thick snow was piled up in huge piles between the roots of the trees and the full moon shone through the leaves, reflecting off the snow lig...
there once was a young dragon who was bored there was nothing to play with in his hoard! To his mother he complained Chores she did Arrange Other options he wished he had explored.
i did look into the library but i'm a little intimidated by it, i'm not exactly sure what i'm doing there so i'll look into that some more. writing is my favorite thing so i really should be looking into that! ^^
So i was wondering... you know the Creative prompts? what if you did something like that but on a month by month basis? like maybe not as many categories and fewer options but changes every month? so people who write stories based on the prompts could get like, house points during the off class mont...
\0/ Day 22 and i made 50,000 words! now my arm hurts and i'm considering having Madam Pomfry remove it. lol! something must be wrong with me because i'm already planning for HolWriMo!
Lol, well it helps that my Tablet lets me know the instant have a reply to anything. i feel bad when i don't reply to something for hours and hours and hours because i didn't know it was there. i know it's silly thing to worry about but i hate the idea of someone thinking i'm ignoring them XP
aaah darn, okay. i wasn't ure if i was just being blind or if it didn't exist. well that's okay, it's just a convenience thing is all ^^ thanks for letting me know!
So i've recently discovered that i can be notified Via Email when people post to threads i want to follow, and in my Hufflepuff Common Room i can select to be notified when people PM me. is there anyway to be notified Via Email when people PM me via the main Hol site? i've looked and i can't seem to...
Book Club Note: The story is dark but no darker than fairy tales (especially the original versions of the tales, not the Disneyfied versions) and Harry Potter. ~ Amy The Siren Long, long ago before there was a ministry, before there was a Hogwarts, before there was even a Merlin, there lived a litt...
My writing projects tend to be on the edge of 'too long'. the one i'm working on now is already bordering 100K (two Nano's in a row this one) and the one before that was bordering 150K (i never finished it because i refuse to write THAT cliche of an ending!) so my stories tend to be a great deal ver...
Oh gosh how i loved Inkheart when i was younger. i was still very deep into Harry Potter and Ann McCaffery and Tamora Pierce. i remember asking my librarian, a very good friend of mine by that time, for any recommendations and she suggested Inkheart which had just come out. i read it obsessively thr...
oooooh okay that makes sense! thanks so much! i noticed i can grow plants in the greenhouse and sell the items but i couldn't figure out what they where for either. i guess it's just for bean trading now. ^^ thanks so much Ariana Stonewater!
