I reminded you of something wonderful. That also fits the theme of the thread!

Final Fantasy Tactics

Oh, how I love you offshot video game from a much bigger franchise that Squaresoft never really showed any love to afterwards.

I still play you all the time, and you are my favourite.

Today a song in my car playlist had a cheeping bird in it, and it made me take a moment to look around and realize what a beautiful place I live in is, and that I am lucky to be here.

Yeah, so I beat up Thomas today! It was pretty great! I feel amazing!
(Obviously, this is a joke! Congrats on the words Thomas! ♥ Hugs and stuff!)

This thread has vast amounts of information on the subject.

:D

That is true Dwayne. I was already thinking of making some pink chocolate chip cookies!

Yesterday I got bored and made buns! But I got bored while making the buns and decided to be fun, so I added food colouring to it. Now today, people are giving me odd looks while I eat these lilac coloured buns.

That's great to me!

I'm glad so many people found this useful!

Do I Look Like I Care?

I discovered three reviews today. Two from the lovely hatted people, and one from the unhatted folk.
Wonderful!

*Edited because another hatted review turned up!*

Run Never Look Back

What Trip Is This?

This is so action forward now! Love it.

Hmmm! Well, it feels like the entire second paragraph is a recap, perhaps because the first line talks about several months ago. I'd say that is why!

Hi Nat! (I am not following you I swear!)

I looked at the other books in the series and this blurb is really different from them. There others are more about the plot to that book, this one feels like it has a lot of recap (like Tara said) from before. Skip the recap entirely.

Start with the last paragraph, that's the interesting bit that draws attention to the action! Elaborate a bit on that part I think and forget the past. That's important in the book, not on it! :D

Whenever I see your icon, it looks like that chair behind you is also part of your head, so your real head looks like a mask you are wearing. Like this giant sideways head, with this mask. A cartoon villain almost. It is awesome and I love it.

Also, good story!

What's the Big Deal about This Book?

That's some top quality white coats are coming stuff right there!
I like it!

Oh, the scientifically correct answer is 'Giraffe', for reference. :D

Google, and the Equestrian Society, were very helpful.

Okay, I should explain. That is true.

I was dating someone who had a life's dream - to become an author. For seven months they told me this, all the time. In seven months, I had never seen him write a sentence, let alone any novels. This started quite the fight one night.

The long and short of it was that I told him to be a writer, he needed to write. Anything!
He refused, You can't start in the middle, or with an outline, or without knowing everything first.
We did not agree on anything.

It was a pretty intense fight. After he stormed out, I sad down and angrily pounded out 4 chapters of a book, to 'Show him you could just start writing'. We broke up before he knew I did that though, but I kept writing my book because I liked it. A year later he found out, and thought it was funny, so no real hard feelings. He got a free copy!

I guess, I had written a lot before that, little stories, D&D campaigns, and things. This incident just really provided the drive to prove that someone could just start to write a book (heavily edit out the angry bits), and publish it.
