Welcome Back, I Guess?

I wanna start off by saying I haven't posted to Mibba in close to a year. Or more. I no longer really feel a super insane urge to write, but lately (I believe due to the witchy, Halloween-y time that's upon us) I've been feeling more energized.I have an idea, but I'm not really sure how I'm going to execute it... or if I'll even do it. Currently, I'm doing a big of a fact sheet for my characters....

Layouts and Recs

Tonight has been frustrating, to say the least. I've been trying to create layouts again, but I haven't been... it hasn't been going well, heh. I have no idea how to work this new layout system, and I've read one of the tutorials in the Knowledge Base, but I'm still terribly lost. So of course, I was wondering if anyone had any tutorials or tips that would help me?Onto another topic, though, I've...

Gender Neutrality

Recently, the fact my gender is displayed as female has been bothering me for some odd reason I can't seem to understand. Anyway, I finally navigated my ancient self to the settings, and I see there isn't a gender neutral option. That got me thinking, why is it so important to me to have a gender neutral/gender NA option? I identify as a cis female, but I still like the ability to hide my gender...

Alternatives to Microsoft Word?

With the recent death of my dear, old laptop, I've had to search for alternatives to Microsoft Word, considering this computer doesn't even have Windows. (Linux, I swear.) Anyway, I'm looking for alternatives to Word, the only problem is that I want a program that has a grammar check of sorts? Similar to Word. I've tried Google Docs, but it doesn't have a grammar feature, as far as I know. I want...

Panicked Screams

To start this off, I just wanna say, don't skip out on writing assignments until the last minute. For instance, I had an extra credit story due yesterday, but I got home so late, he's going to allow me to turn it in tomorrowish.Speaking of which, this mania ties in with yesterday. I went to my first concert last night, and oh my god, it was amazing. It was a free show The Maine was doing and I got...

Jitters

Since classes started up again, I've been feeling this almost gnawing anxiety within the depths of my brain, and it's honestly annoying. I want to be able to experience my last year of high school without any sort of nervousness... Last year was dreadful for that. However, I think one of my problems revolves around how fucking tired I am almost all the time now. I felt like an actual corpse today,...

Of Romance and Writing

Recently, I've had an interesting week. Yesterday, I went out with my mom (errands and grocery shopping). I came home exhausted, but I had a new game to play. It took me ages to ever want to buy it, but I finally got Injustice: Gods Among Us. I ruined my sleeping schedule by playing that damn game until this morning, the story mode was okay, but fuck the ending.Anyway, onto the romance title bit....

Photoshop and Banner Requests

After many tears, I finally got Photoshop portable to work on my shitty Linux laptop. The biggest problems were I could barely find any portable programs that weren't in Spanish, and most links were obsolete. But by George, I got it to work. Though, I mostly wanted the program to make graphic stuff again... (I do have a few story idea floating around.)I also come bearing gifts. For the most part,...

Opinion Outpost and Being Published

In my recent jobless endeavors to find money, I've come across Opinion Outpost. It's apparently one of those "we give you money for completing surveys" deal, however I'm a bit... skeptical, I guess? I've heard about it from Tumblr, with people reblogging the post and talking about how great the site is, but I don't trust faceless users on Tumblr worth a darn. Which is why I made this post, do you...

A Recommendation of Sorts

Firstly, it feels like ages since I've been on Mibba (though I was never super active to begin with.) However, while reading newer stories, I came across a few that I quiet liked whether it be the layout, tone of voice, or the subject matter. I figured I might as well share these recommendations because some of the stories (and drabbles) are new.Horror-wise I'd recommend Rub Rabbit, Run. It's...

Summer and a Comment Swap

Finally, for me it's summer vacation. Which feels so nice, but also bland. It feels nice because I can sleep in as late as I want, be up as late as I want, and have complete control over everything. But it feels bland because well... it's been three days and I haven't done much. Except sit at home, of course.I kinda wanna go out and do something, but the heat for Texas sucks a bit. I'm sensitive...

Two Weeks and Advice + Comment Swap

Today I realized we have less than two weeks before summer. This revelation feels amazing because I am honestly so tired of school. I tend to just go home and sleep in a deep slumber, haha.The close approach of summer means I'll have more time to write as well. There'll be less or an academic strain which I hope will help me continue Sea Side. I haven't updated it in a week, but I've just been...

Hogwarts Is Here + Comment Swap

As some of you know, recently popped up a little Harry Potter fan-run site. It mimics Pottermore's idea of a Hogwarts experience, and out of curiosity, I sighed up on it. Anyway, I don't have a lot of friends on it. So maybe you guys could add me? c:I actually quite like it more than Pottermore, it seems more in depth. Instead of just crafting potions and dueling, you get to actually pick courses...

Accomplishment and Comment Swap

Today, I wrote my first one shot in forever. I feel rather proud, because I don't write as much as I used to. It's a terrible habit I've been trying to break. Anyhow, if anyone wants to read it, here you go.Today was also the first day I've used the new story layout maker. I was so confused, but I overcame it...eventually. It looks so alien to how the layout used to be. But I love there's more...

Productive Day and Writer's Block

Since I've been home, I've written two chapters so far for Sea Side, which I'm ever so excited for! I hope to continue writing today, because I have found this amazing mixtape I have been using as background noise. The link is here.Speaking of Sea Slide, I've obtained my first comment! Which excites me to no end, oh boy. I really have missed writing on this site. It's fun to write, post it, and...

Feeling Quite Proud

Today, I finally posted a story on Mibba for the first time in a good long while. It's this extremely old one shot piece I had written ages ago. I admit it's not up to what I can write now, but I plan on revising it soon and hopefully writing more.I adore the setting though, by the ocean. It's entitled Sea Side but I think that's only temporary. I had tried making a layout for it, though. That...

FenCon XI.

While strolling through my hallways the other day, I came across this flyer on the outside the library for the FenCon Young Author Contest. The flyer didn't have too much information about the actual contest, so I googled it. As it turns out, it's this neat little contest (as the title suggests, haha) for third graders through twelfth graders in the Dallas/Fort Worth. I sorta want to enter, but...

Inspirational Quotes + Summer

Hello everyone! I haven't been active in ages, but hopefully that'll be fixed soon. Anyway, on to quotes. Today, I checked my mail -- like every morning -- and come to find out, Figment has amazing inspirational quotes about writing. Which I feel is perfect because summer is coming up soon, so more time to write for everyone. Figment is actually a pretty radical site, if I do say so myself. This...

Getting Back into the Groove

As of the start of my school year, I've hardly had any time to write. The only things I've actually penned are essays, which are for school. But lately (as of like, last week), I've been able to write more. I've felt more inspired; I'm not sure why I do. I just do. Besides, I've been in a writer's block stump for well over a year, so being able to write is a relief to me. It means I haven't lost...

I Was Just Swindled

Because of recent events, my parents have decided to keep one of the gray kittens my cat had earlier in the year. We named her Fog. She's a fast little devil, which I learned tonight. I was playing CoD: Black Ops II with my brother, when I became hungry, so I made some food and waited for it to cool in my sight. Before I know it, my meal (well half), was taken by Fog. She just swooped in, bit into...
