...At least you don't have a phrase fashioned out of the stupid and clumsy things that you do. My friends have made a phrase because of that: "You pulled an Amy!" I'm known to be rather slow and clumsy around them.

Can I ask a question lol??
How do you get the cool emoticons?? I know there's the emoticons button down below but you have to search through that to find a good one : /
Lol, noob-ness xD

worldhero21 In reply to Potato-Pirate [2009-11-07 22:03:49 +0000 UTC]

YAY! 8D

Oh! Type in : dance : (without the spaces) and it turns into this: Or : meow : for a kitty face -> Or for facial expressions...sometimes all you have to do is put this... : D (the colons ":" are supposed to look like eyes. The "D" is the mouth.) So then...it turns into this. -> And for some user made emoticons: : iconfurrydanceplz : (turns into this: )

Don't worry...everyone starts off as a noob when they first join, but after a while, you get the hang of the emoticons. (: aww : )

Well...at least you get out of school now, but yeah...the exams are always the negative things at the end of the school year. But you're lucky; I still have at 7 months left before I graduate and move onto college...

I hate exams. They're always stressful...and it doesn't help that I'm not the studious type of person.

I can't wait for next year!
Year 13, scary thought.

Do you know what you're thinking of doing at college??

Oh I know ae, they are indeed. I've already passed Year 12 so I can't get motivated to do anything and maths is next Monday!! Oh noes!!

worldhero21 In reply to Potato-Pirate [2009-11-11 02:31:52 +0000 UTC]

I'm in grade 12/senior year (don't know what that's equivalent to in New Zealand...o_o) So after this year....no more grade school/secondary school. To me, in the colleges/universities is when the real world kicks in.

Yep! ANIMATION~! 8D And I just got accepted into my dream school too!

AH~! I hate math! I use my right brain way too much, so my left brain is mostly dead when it comes to math and science.

Potato-Pirate In reply to worldhero21 [2009-11-11 03:37:18 +0000 UTC]

Well yeah it's confusing because you guys only do four years of high school whereas we do 5, over here 17-18 year olds would normally be in Year 13...
But yeah I've got one more year :/

Wow that's awesome!! I hope I get into the schools I want, that would be really cool. I'm hoping to do architecture and interior design

Math sucks ae. I'm the same, I'm too creative to do boring, thinking stuff like maths but I need it for later life

worldhero21 In reply to Potato-Pirate [2009-11-11 20:58:10 +0000 UTC]

Oh...I get it. This would be my last year.

My other major/minor would be in Creative Writing. I've been writing a six-book series since I was 11, so I'm hoping to publish my first book soon.

Same here. Math and science bore me, since I'm not the logical type. But I know I need it later for life...

Yeah

Ooohh that's pretty awesome. I would love to do Creative Writing at Uni but I don't think we have that here. We have Lit but not really that...
I'd have to check.

Wow I'll look out for those books when you do

Yeah ae :/

I LOVE creative writing. Almost as much as I love fantasy. I used to hate writing (academic writing, mostly), but again...after Harry Potter, I got inspired by a lot of my favorite authors to start writing my first book. I based the story of this early childhood dream I had about saving the world with magic. Sounds....awkward, but several of my readers here absolutely love it; it's pretty funny. Two of my school friends were doing random sketches (also called a "sketch dump") of my characters in a notebook at lunch today.

My dream college/university doesn't have creative writing classes; only a writing program for academic writing (essays, research papers, etc.) I'm hoping to find some writing club there next summer, so I can get more feedback on my writing...

Thanks! Hopefully, I'll have the first book published once I'm in college.

I know ae, it's my favourite thing to do. That's why I go on Mibba all the time and I always have a word document open or an idea buzzing around in my head!!

That's so awesome!!
Is it on Mibba or is there somewhere I could read it??
At the moment I just write for fun, I still have to think up a good idea to be published

Good idea, it's always good to get feedback and improve, even criticism hurts I find it always helps

YAY!!

worldhero21 In reply to Potato-Pirate [2009-11-13 00:30:03 +0000 UTC]

It's one of my favorite hobbies besides drawing. But I often get writer's block or no motivation to write. Then, at the most random moments, I can get these "spur-of-the-moment" little short prose/scenes to write up. My imagination is weird at times...

It's on Mibba, and on here. ~TheWorldHeroRace That's my series' club; it's kinda small right now, and doesn't get a lot of traffic, but it's slowly gaining popularity here on dA. I've been adding EVERY chapter of my first book to there; actually, I just added a new chapter to Book One last night. The first book is looking a lot better than my other drafts; I'm finally over the 100-page mark in MS Word, and it hasn't even reached the climax yet! I'm so proud of myself with how much it's coming along~!

I'm on so many other writing sites, I sometimes forget to check on them. I'm really desperate for critiques and feedback, so I try to update the series on any writing site; Mibba, Writer's Cafe (new site I joined), Textnovel (readers are notified through email/text message when writers update their stories), Author Nation, NaNoWriMo (I'm losing to that challenge...), and so many others that I can't remember.

Okay, I'm gonna stop there; once I start talking about my story, I often can't stop. I just get so excited talking about it~!

Oh I know I get that as well ae, it sucks soooo much :\

Awesome I'll definitely check it out! Sounds like it's really good!!

Yeah I tried joining a few other sites but none of them really helped me like Mibba has. I'm with Fictionpress and I was with another but I can't remember what it's called haha. I might join a few that you suggested actually

Hehe yeah I do that often ae.

worldhero21 In reply to Potato-Pirate [2009-11-14 18:24:13 +0000 UTC]

I get bored when I have writer's block. I often have no motivation to write, and I can't think of anything to write....

Thanks!

I can't remember all the writing sites I've joined. But out of most of them, deviantART seems to be the most helpful with receiving new readers. There's...16 members in the club on here. Webs.com is great, too. You can build your own free website, and get new members to join it. It's funny how I have 16 members on that site, too.

...It's one of the reasons why I annoy my school friends with it; I kept talking about it so much. They were going to read it, but all of us got caught up in our schoolwork, they often had no time to read it. But now...they've been a bit better; I have two school friends as editors now, since I'm not good with grammar in my writing.

Potato-Pirate In reply to worldhero21 [2009-11-15 00:08:25 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I'm the same ae

Ah yes, that sounds pretty cool. I love getting new readers ae. Every time I post a new chapter on Mibba I always get so excited when there are new people and new comments, it's like wheeee

Haha yeah I try to get my friends to read my stuff but they're all like "Nah too busy" which sucks. But they do sometimes haha.

worldhero21 In reply to Potato-Pirate [2009-11-15 17:41:28 +0000 UTC]

Yep, same reaction. I get so excited, I turn hyper, every time someone comments on my story. Then, I'm a lot more optimistic for the rest of the day. One of my new members here actually critiqued some of the beginning chapters on it; it was the only thing that brightened my day when I came home to find a critique for the first time! Apparently...my story is appealing more to adults too, not just teens (I was aiming more toward teen-readers when I started it). But that's a good thing; I have a better chance at appealing to editors/agents later on!

I annoyed my friends with it so much for the last two years, they forced me to move all my story writing from my original dA account (this one) to the new club I made for it. After that, they grew more lenient with me on it, and I could still talk about it with one of my friends, who actually edited my manuscript for me last year for a novel contest.

Potato-Pirate In reply to worldhero21 [2009-11-16 03:08:01 +0000 UTC]

Haha yeah I sometimes even rush home from school and turn on my computer just to check if I have any comments

Good work haha. It's great finding something out like that!!

I've been thinking of posting some of my stories on here actually. I'll figure out how to soon...

Awesome

worldhero21 In reply to Potato-Pirate [2009-11-16 18:31:55 +0000 UTC]

Same here. dA can become VERY addicting. I'm supposed to be working on college stuff right now....but I just can't help but go on here.

I figured that out when I had a few fellow writers who were in their 30s and 40s, reviewing/critiquing the chapters on two writing sites.

Oh, it's pretty easy to post your writing on here. Just go to the submission page like you would to upload a picture, and click on the button that says "Add text." Then just paste your writing into the text box that pops up (For phrases in italics, bold, or underline; use these codes... < i >< /i >, etc.). Then, after you finish the other things on the submission page, your deviation/submission will look like this: [link]

It is ae, Mibba is too actually haha. I come on the computer and they're the two sites I immediately click on. Yeah I'm meant to be studying for my Bio exam tomorrow....oops.

Awesome xD

Thanks xxx
I was going to ask anyway haha. Very helpful indeed!!

None of my writing is good enough yet to put on here I think. But maybe I'll put up the short story I just wrote...maybe haha.
