I'm currently in first, but the girl in second is catching up very fast.

Thanks!

Thanks for letting me know. Glad to know it's not cheaply made. I don't think I'll be using it as a brooch. Just carrying it around with me in my bag all the time. Lol.

Thanks. :D I'm so excited to buy it soon! Do you know big it is?

Yeah, I'd love the link. :)

Your welcome! And it's alright, not one of the best but I'm still a hardcore dedicated fan to the series so I just had to buy it.
I did enjoy a few of the campaigns though, glad there were four and the online is pretty good too. It's alright story-wise and I'm glad there are more zombies but the horror element is still completely lost, sadly. But it's still a decent game and the survival-horror element is implemented quite nicely. :3

You're welcome! You'll love both games if you like unlocking multiple story endings and stuff. :) In terms of graphics, I do believe Chrono Cross is better but in terms of storyline, both are actually wonderfully done. It's just that Chrono Cross is there to kinda fill up the gaps of that appear in Chrono Trigger, but Chrono Cross also has it's own gaps in the story line.

I saw your Forum topic. I can give you a few tips that I use all the time when I'm writing. :)

One, check your verbs. When using the same verb constantly, the sentences become stale and everything is just dreary with not-so-fun monochromatic elements. Maybe instead of using the verb "write," you use the word "penned." Little things like that can make all the difference in writing.

Two, avoid using cliches as imagery. A cliche can get a point across quickly, but some people use cliches a little too often. Seeing "a face like stone," or a "iron-like grip" can sometimes be boring since it is heard quite often.

Three, proper diction is key. Diction is pretty much using each word to the fullest extent. It is not just about what the word means, but also how it sounds. My favorite example of this is Edgar Allen Poe. In his short story, "The Fall of the House of Usher," he described the house like a "labyrinth." He could have said "maze," but that word does not have the same darker tone as "labyrinth."

Four, write the first draft from the heart. This means that when you write, you let it come out of you organically. I occasionally use an outline when I am writing a story, but when I am writing poetry and other shorter works, I just type and let each word flow out. It helps contain some raw emotion that I later begin to edit by checking my verbs, replacing cliches, and telling my readers exactly what i want them to hear.

Those are just tips that i like to use. You may do them all, you may not. Either way, may your pen always run with ink and may the words come like departed loved ones, overjoyed at returning to you.

Are you kidding? You're fantastic! Everytime you post a new poem, I get really excited. You're such a good poet and you cannot dispute that in anyway. Your poetry is so somber and expressive. You handle the art very, very well and you do it in such a beautiful way. You're one of the few people who's poem I watch diligently on this site. :)

Your very welcome! It was my pleasure.(:

Your welcome

You're welcome. I really liked them. :)

You are so talented, I love all of your poems!!

Hi, I'm Jodie. I just wanted to say that I really enjoy reading the poems you upload. You're a very honest and open writer and I really respect that.

No problem whatsoever.
I'm Ellie. (:

No problemo! :)

You're welcome dear(:

You're welcome! I have no problem reading others stuff, and most of the time I find myself happy about it. So, thank you for writing an interesting and different poem that I enjoyed a great deal(:

Your very welcome! :D & I feel the same way about those cutting/depressing poems. They get annoying and theres so many of them on here -____- Your poems are different & I really found
them interesting. So in some your poems mention incest. Is your character in a forbidden relationship with her father?

Hey :D, i have a new journal called " a vegetarian between meals" and it would honestly mean so much to me if you read it and maybe commented so that i know what you think. I can't wait to hear your opinion about it, thank you so much and i hope things are well, if not im always here to talk

You're a really good writer & you have so many poems! I wish I could take the time and dedication to put that many up :)

yeahhhh I'm pretty bored right now and going through a lot of them actually lol. They just have such deep meanings and some of them I doubt I even fully understand. But anyways great job!
