Nice pics, Moth!
And that sounds cool, Thy!
Mostly what's been happening on my end is I've been crazy and undertook at drawing and writing challenge that's based on completing both in the month of Oct. Send help to the insane Mint, she's behind in both. XP

Omg that sounds like quite an undertaking there, Mint!
My friend was telling me the other day about her unsuccessful attempt to contribute in the Nanorimo contest. It sounds like a LOT of work/dedication, but hey, if you like your end product it's totally worth it, right? ^.^ Especially if you're enjoying the process.

Are you writing a fanfiction-type thing? Or original work?

Thanks, mintedstar/fur. Great to see you again here, ✨ Տեმɾ✨. That sounds pretty cool. And speaking of writing, I finally got the world building down for one of my stories (the one I've showed you guys) and I think I finally know what the opening line should be, but I'm not sure if I'm completely satisfied with it. As for Nanowrimo, I'm going to try to reach the goal this year, even if it's nothing but stuff and nonsense! XD

𝓣𝓲𝓷𝓾𝓿𝓲𝓮𝓵 Thank you! It's good to be back! Ooh yeah opening lines are always such a big thing? As of late I've only been writing critiques and essays but even with those I find myself constantly changing my wording

Thanks, guys! Worldbuilding has always been easy for me, so it wasn't too hard and I made sure to stay consistent too. I'm glad to have gotten that out of the way at least.
But yes, Thy, thinking of an opening line is torture! Hopefully I finally got it, plus I'm going to have to go back to edit it anyway unless I hire an editor, but I'm broke and I honestly don't trust my friends or family or even teachers to give me any constructive criticism since any time I show anyone my writing, they just say, "It's nice," or just not enough constructive criticism.
By this point, I'm pretty much craving for someone to point out any flaws with my work. Go ahead and make me cry if you must! I need to grow as a writer, and I'm never going to if I just hear praise. Even the greatest writers made mistakes, after all.

Well, so far all I've seen is world building. I can put on the critic hat if needed. ^^ Honestly, the only thing I noticed about your world was that it took a lot of what I saw in Avatar. But that's usual for Elemental based worlds.

But that's usual for Elemental based worlds. I was actually inspired by Avatar as well as W.I.T.C.H to create the story, although it should be noted that stories like that have existed long before these two shows and the only thing they have in common anyway is elemental manipulation. I guess there's conflict between the four, but it comes in later and it isn't even the main conflict anyway.

I've been wanting to collect more NaNoWriMo badges this year, so I was wondering if any of you guys are going to participate this year and wanted to be my writing buddies with me? My username on there is Lady Noir (and yes, it is indeed a reference to Miraculous Ladybug).

I might? but I'm not really sure where/how. It's easy. Just create an account on NaNoWriMo's website and write your story on a separate document, like Word or something. Then just copy and paste what you have so far on NaNoWriMo's word counter to update your word count progress. It takes a while to get used to, I know. All that matters is that you reach 50,000 words and it can be either an original work or fanfiction. The FAQ page might give a better explanation. nanowrimo.org/faq

Niccee... I have a few ideas that would fit that criteria pretty easily as I suck at short stories and end up writing like, half a novel or something.

Funny, the exact opposite has been happening to me lately. Oh, another thing, although this should probably go without saying anyway, do not edit anything during NaNoWriMo. Do that afterwards. And this is coming from a perfectionist. The website also has its own forum, and people usually reply pretty fast at least from what I've experienced. There's also a shop, and one of the items is a book by the creator of the contest himself. And as for the prizes, here are the sponser offers for this year. nanowrimo.org/sponsor-offers

Okay, I've been having writer's block for so long that by this point, I'm just thinking of making an offering to the Muses in hopes for inspiration in exchange.

I don't even have an altar, let alone somewhere private where I can practice witchcraft or paganism. I've been trying to tell my grandfather that I need my own room since I really do need my own privacy anyway, but he won't listen to me, and there aren't any more spare rooms unless I take his or my sister's room as my own (I currently share a room with my grandmother).

I have what i want in mind. I cleaned it up but i need some sandpaper to get out some chips and scratches in the wood and then im going to paint it black and decorate it with this rainbow ribbon i have and/or maybe sew a cloth to go over the top? idk yet. But i also plan to find another bit of wood or something so i can make a drawer or an extra shelf under the tabletop to store extra stuff since its kinda small and I have a lot.

I really hope things start going in your favor soon. It really makes me sad to know how upset and slightly manipulative your family gets and pushes all sorts of expectations on you. Its your life and you should be able to live it in full.
