Read-Along With Me discussion

Tell us 3 interesting things about yourself! Just a bit of fun and also it's pretty cool to learn things about people you've never met before!

1. I'm a straight A student in high school.

2. I broke my nose, playing capture the flag and when I had to be put to sleep, halfway through the process, my surgeon asked if I was asleep or not, in which I sarcastically responded that I was.

3. I am obsessed with AFL (Australian Football League)

1. I'm an aspiring writer who uses baby name sites to find names for her characters. (I write contemporary and have a weird taste in names, so.) (nameberry.com is really good if you want a wide range of interesting names, fyi)

2. I'm pretty sure I have some form of synesthesia. It's not medically confirmed or anything, but I'm 99.999999% sure that I have at least one form. For now, all you need to know is that I associate colors with music and sounds. (like Melody from Out of My Mind, except I didn't really like how it was portrayed and defined there :/)

3. I'm pretty much addicted to three sites: Tumblr, Goodreads and My Candy Love (it's this game thing where you create a character and get her to date fictional boys and it's pretty darn amusing, if I do say so myself. You should mainly check it out because of the boys Lysander)

I use Nameberry a lot as well when writing characters for role plays and for spontaneous writing! I would love to read your work sometime that would be pretty cool :)

1. I love making new friends and meeting new people.
2. I am allergic to stupid people. lol.
3. I am a very different person so don't judge me on these three things only....

@Natasha Good! So I'm not the only one. Since I write contemp, I mostly use it to find more suiting or interesting names for a character or to find out if a name I heard of lately that I liked is legit.

I don't plan to publish until I'm twenty-something-ish, but I am currently working on developing characters in my head and making sense of plots and stuff. With some I came up when I was twelve so, now when I look back at them, they don't make sense and I have to think of new ones that will have the same feel. It's frustrating sometimes, but still fun!

1. My goal is to someday become a YA or children's librarian - I already have the degree for it.

2. I currently mix paint at a hardware store and digitize documents at a college library.

3. I enjoy taking long walks - it's not a good one unless you're doing between 5 and 10 miles.

1. my favourite subjects at school are Science, English and Drama, all in which I've received straight A's in for 2 years straight

2. I absolutely love classical music and ballet. I think they're both so beautiful and peaceful

3. I hope to one day become a psychologist and perhaps write a few books!

1-I have an obsession with Dylan Obrien and Jennifer Lawrence(:

2-I love to paint canvases!! Mostly with acrylic but I love water color as well

3-I hope to be a psychologist or therapist when I get older!

@Tori psYCHOLOGIST????? AND A WRITER???? Same. I have a weird obsession with learning about mental illnesses and stuff. ((I also feel weird for just freaking out here. I don't know how to communicate.))

Oh my, so many budding psychologists!

woo! psychologists for the win! (;

Hahaha!

1- I love dancing and traveling.

2- In love with cake! <3

3- I'd love to take Filming Classes :)

1. I write novels, and so far all of them are terrible, but hopefully that'll change with time and practice. Baby name sites and Google Translate (I translate a word into another language and warp the foreign word into something name-like xD) are my favorite ways to name characters.

2. I like playing the piano in general, but my favorite pieces are classical renditions of Billboard 100 songs. I always try to figure it out on my own first, but I also always fail and resort to online sheet music.

3. I love books, physical books to be specific. I hate ebooks or anything similar, and sometimes if there's a book without a hardcover edition then I won't read it, unless I have no other option than to by the paperback... Don't judge me haha

1. When a the genre of a book is romance, I most likely won't read it. I'll read books that have a bit of romance but if it's just romance, then most likely not. (Note that I said 'most' books and not all)

1. I prefer paperbacks to hardbacks

Just an idea, you could keep a personal document for your random stories and ideas--even if they're not the best, even if they're super short, it helps to just write it down to improve writing ability ^_^
